A War You Cannot Win is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band All That Remains. The album was released on 6 November 2012 through Razor & Tie.

The album has some tracks which have a melodic metalcore sound and some with a standard metal sound which have only singing.

Album sold over 25,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 13 on The Billboard 200 chart. As of February 2015, the album has sold 123,000 copies in the United States.

The album was produced by Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, who has produced albums for the band in the past.

The first song to be released from the album was "Down Through the Ages". The song was first posted to Labonte's YouTube channel on August 13, 2012. "Stand Up" was released as the next single on August 27. On October 26, "You Can't Fill My Shadow" was announced as the album's third single.

Drummer Jason Costa stated about the album: "This is a very guitar, very melody-oriented album. It wasn't very rhythm-based at all. I would just say it's metal; it's a metal album. We've got some heavy songs on there, some heavy, groovy songs on there. We've got some fast, heavy songs on there, we've got some more radio-friendly, melodic songs on there. It's typical ALL THAT REMAINS, really, but we've definitely stepped up the musicianship there and the writing."
