In 2003 All Shall Perish was formed out of the ashes of Bay area bands "End of All", "Antagony", and "Boof". They then released their demo in 2003 and caught the attention of Japanese label Amputated Vein Records. On April 19, 2003, they released their debut album "Hate, Malice, Revenge." In 2005, it was re-released by Nuclear Blast and since then has received mostly underground acclaim.

In 2006, The Price of Existence was released to largely positive critical reaction. Their first single, "Eradication", was made into a video and was played on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball. The group released their third studio album, "Awaken the Dreamers", on September 16, 2008 through Nuclear Blast. It debuted at number 126 on the Billboard 200 and number 1 on the Top Heatseekers charts, with 5,500 copies sold in its first week. Guitarist Caysen Russo and vocalist Craig Betit only appear on the band's first studio album, and were replaced, respectively, with Chris Storey and Hernan "Eddie" Hermida.

After finishing the Night Of The Living Shred tour, All Shall Perish members returned to California where they are currently writing a new album which is to be released in 2010. Mike Tiner stated that the process is currently "going slow, very slow". In early 2010 Richardson left All Shall Perish to join Chicago metal band Born of Osiris. On the 5th of June, the band announced a new line-up. Drummer Matt Kuykendall will be replaced by Adam Pierce (Sea of Treachery) and new touring guitarist will be Francesco Artusato(Hiss of Atrocities).
