Victim of the New Disease is the ninth studio album by American metalcore band All That Remains. It was released on November 9, 2018[2] on Razor & Tie Records. It is the final album to feature founding guitarist Oli Herbert, who died on October 17, 2018, less than a month prior to the album's release, and the band's final album with bassist Aaron Patrick and longtime drummer Jason Costa before their departures in 2021 and 2023, respectively.[3][4] The album marks a return to the band's heavier metalcore roots. Victim of the New Disease sold over 5,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 154 on Billboard 200 chart.[5]
Background
The first single from the album was "Fuck Love". It was first posted to lead singer Phil Labonte's Instagram page as a cryptographic binary code leading to an unlisted YouTube video.[6] The album was produced by Daniel Laskiewicz, formerly of the bands The Acacia Strain and Legend.

Victim of the New Disease has received critical acclaim from music critics, with praise being directed at a perceived return to creative and musical form as well as the return to All That Remains' heavier metalcore sound, which had largely been absent in recent material from the band in favor of a more melodic heavy metal and hard rock sound.[citation needed]
In a positive review for Exclaim! magazine, author Max Morin wrote "To say All That Remains are returning to their roots would oversimplify things. They have returned, but much smarter and more experienced — it's given their old formula new life. Victim of the New Disease has jerked All That Remains out of a decade long lull" and gave the album nine out of ten stars.[10]
