If you ever wanted to hear hardcore taken to a whole new level then you need to look no further than Emmure and their latest release. This is hardcore mixed with death and nu-metal influences, as if Slipknot, Biohazard, Cannibal Corpse and Korn decided to breed. This intense, over the top, and as tight as hell. The anger and venom coming from singer and founder Frankie Palmeri is matched by those behind him, and although they may not be in quite the same area as Napalm Death they probably share the post code. After their 2014 release ‘Eternal Enemies’ the band suffered some line-up changes, and Frankie found himself left with just guitarist Joshua Travis, but it certainly doesn’t sound like a brand-new rhythm section as what we have here is a band that know what they want, and heaven help anyone who gets in the way of them.

They’ve been touring a great deal, and I would have loved to have seen them with Five Finger Death Punch and with We Came As Romans as they would have been great gigs, but can’t imagine who thought that it would be a good idea to put them with Parkway Drive, as the Aussies must have been taken to the cleaners by the guys from Queens. Brutal, uncompromising, over the top hardcore metal, this is one violent and angry beast that needs treating with respect.
