Emmure

For a generation of malcontents and outsiders desperate for that extra bit of adrenaline just to make it through another day, Frankie Palmeri’s unrivaled ability to flip his middle fingers at the world (and at himself) with equal bravado and passion has made EMMURE essential listening. Frankie doesn’t mince words onstage or off, and EMMURE albums are as allergic to complicated metaphors as they are filled with unrelenting, savage, and catchy beatdowns.
Hindsight reunites the band with producer WZRD BLD (aka Drew Fulk), who produced their career-defining 2017 album Look At Yourself for SharpTone. Fulk’s production prowess continues to shape the band’s sound, blending their confrontational spirit with irresistible hooks that have earned them a devoted following.
Over the years, EMMURE’s confrontational energy and unapologetic hooks have won them fans on major tours such as Rockstar Mayhem, Warped Tour, Knotfest, and countless festivals. They’ve shared stages with a diverse range of bands, including Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, and co-headliners Whitechapel. Across eight albums—like the genre-defining Speaker of the Dead (2011) and Eternal Enemies (2014)—EMMURE has carved their place in the extreme music scene, fighting their way in like uninvited yet necessary guests.
The band’s name references "immurement," a particularly brutal form of execution where a person was trapped behind walls and simply left to die. But EMMURE has defied all death sentences, both external and internal. And while they’ve never been ones to chase awards or accolades, the recognition from heavy metal tastemaker Loudwire, who placed them alongside iconoclastic troublemakers like GG Allin and Marilyn Manson in their list of “10 Bands That Didn’t Care If You Hated Them,” speaks volumes. This kind of press, just before the release of Hindsight, was exactly the kind of attention Frankie was happy to retweet.
Tenacious, raw, and uncompromising in a sea of fakery, EMMURE proudly stands apart.
