Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Only a few days into delivering direct assistance to Spite as they headline a North American tour, Emmure is compelled to forgo tonight’s (June 3) performance in Lawrence, Kansas due to co-founder and vocalist Frankie Palmeri experiencing “an acute vocal strain”, as per Lambgoat. It is anticipated that Spite, Psycho-Frame, and Reverent will still perform as originally planned.
Frankie here, sending a rare broadcast to let people attending ‘The New World Killer’ tour tonight in Lawrence, Kansas, Emmure will not be in attendance as I am resting from an acute vocal strain. Sorry to disappoint.
The American metalcore group Emmure was founded in 2003. The group, which was previously located in New Fairfield, Connecticut, before relocating to Queens, New York, has put out eight albums. T”he Complete Guide to Needlework”, an EP released in 2006, was their first album to be made public. Beginning with “Goodbye to the Gallows” (2007), Victory Records has collaborated with the band for the majority of their history. Victory also issued their second, third, and fourth albums, “Speaker of the Dead” (2011), “Felony” (2009), and “The Respect Issue” (2008). The band re-signed with Victory to release their fifth and sixth studio albums, “Slave to the Game” (2012) and “Eternal Enemies” (2014), after their original four-album deal with Victory ended.
In 2016, however, Emmure would leave Victory to sign with SharpTone after nine years of being signed to the label. “Look at Yourself”, the seventh Emmure album, and “Hindsight”, the eighth, were released on March 3, 2017, and June 26, 2020, respectively. The only original member of the band is Frankie Palmeri, who was born in 1986 and has been controversial over the years. Critics have characterized his “no-fucks-given” attitude as an amusing stance for the band, and his personality has set them apart from other bands in the genre.
