On their album "Hindsight", the American deathcore band brings Nu Metal back to deathcore. Exactly the genre that he himself has (co)created. What do you call that, incest? Whatever it?s called, in the case of Frankie Palmeri and colleagues it works perfectly. The songs sound as if KORN or LIMP BIZKIT had half decayed, rotten and stinking, but mighty pissed off, risen from their graves. Emmure 2020Emmure 2020 Cool and sober The mood on "Hindsight" is groovy, but also freezing cold. EMMURE paint the most evil utopias and unfortunately they are not so wrong with that. Especially the fact that the sound has been stripped of any cuddliness makes EMMURE still relevant in 2020. Relentlessly pressing riffs, bass bombs and nagging that couldn't drool more pointedly. The band moves further and further away from usual structures, the guitars act aggressively-everywhere and the futristic brew sounds scary in the best sense. Over the borders and ahead of time The sound is often reminiscent of the feeling of falling asleep when you think you're about to fall asleep. When EMMURE then add up surfaces and weird child voices ("Pan"), the nightmares burn in even deeper. The further "Hindsight" progresses, the more offside EMMURE sounds. Many things may seem unfinished to the 08/15 listeners. Steaming compositions in this way is quite common with the greats (also of other genres) (FRANK OCEAN, CHILDISH GAMBINO, CODE ORANGE...). EMMURE have interpreted this trick excellently. One can be disturbed by the frequent and sometimes a bit too obvious bowing to KORN's Jonathan Davis. On the other hand, one wonders why it took so long for bands to adopt this schizo-weapon. Basically what EMMURE have done with "Hindsight" is far ahead of its time and very convincing.
