Well, Emmure is back with some new material and I gotta be honest – I'm into it. "Torch" incorporates essentially none of the lyrical tropes I always disliked Emmure for, and the riffs are pretty sweet. Sure, it's deathcore like the band's old material, but it's straightforward and fucking heavy. Moreover, the band has signed with Nuclear Blast/Sharp Tone and will release a new album in early 2017! I guess this year really has been a wild ride from start to finish, huh?
The band currently consists of vocalist Frankie Palmeri, guitarist Josh Travis (Glass Cloud, ex-The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravagazna), bassist Phil Lockett (ex-The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravagazna), and drummer Josh Miller (ex-Glass Cloud).
