Nu-Metal Revival Apocalypse Update: New Emmure Song Features a DJ
Emmure’s transformation into the new (nu?) Limp Bizkit is almost complete!!!
So Revolver just debuted a new Emmure song called “E,” and I was listening to it and thinking, “Christ, this is just the usual boring Emmure bullshit. I don’t even have anything to say about this other than OH MY GOD SO FUCKING BORING.” And then, as though Frankie Palmeri were reading my mind via the power vested in him by Greedo from Star Wars and M. Bison from Street Fighter, at the 1:48 mark, the DJ entered the song.
My jaw hit the floor; I started laughing so hard I was crying. And I couldn’t tell if I was laughing because this band is so dumb they included a DJ in a song in 2014, or if I was laughing as a nervous reaction to the fact that DJs in metal seem to be making a comeback. Were these happy tears, or sad tears? I’m still not sure. But I do know this much: “E” is total fucking garbage.
Emmure’s new album comes out on Fuck Yourself the fifteenth via Total Fucking Defeat Records.
