Emmure will release their new album Hindsight onto digital streaming services June 26. Physical copies of the album will be available starting July 24 via Sharptone Records.
In celebration of the album announcement, Emmure have released their new single “Uncontrollable Descent.” On the new song and forthcoming album, vocalist Frankie Palmeri says that he wants listeners to decide for themselves what their new music is about.
“The label asked me to attach a quote about the new album and this new single so that there can be some words to chew on as this press release goes out. I am not sure what to say. I simply hope the fans enjoy the song as much as we do and look forward to the full album releasing this year. Beyond that, I don’t believe in explaining what the music is supposed to be about. In fact, I consider it creatively bankrupt to rob people of a chance to experience, dissect and create their own unique ownership of what a song potentially represents to them. I want people to hear the music and take away whatever feeling they want. If an artist is outright telling you why a song or album was written, not only do I personally find it pretentious, but they might as well spoon feed you your meals and pick out your clothes for you, since you’re clearly incapable of thinking for yourself. What makes explaining it even worse than what I already mentioned, is that the message within is literally and figuratively already spelled out for you, so if you can’t figure it out or at the very least surmise your own explanation, then you’re better off just reading a dictionary if you’re too lazy discover the meaning in something for yourself.”
Hindsight follows up Emmure’s last full-length LP Look At Yourself that was released back in 2017. Back in November, the band released “Pigs Ear” which is off of Hindsight.
