I know I play a bit of devil's advocate here, ladies and gentlemen, but mockery of serious incidents where innocent blood is shed is not the way to be edgy and furthermore, annoys me to the point that it almost enrages me.
Palmeri spews out lines that would be better suited as lifelfess filler than as the main talking point ("Get it through your f***ing head!/All your friends are f***ing dead!/Yeah they got what they deserved!/Stop acting hard you know it hurts!.") Now, as much as I will gladly excuse a band for being edgy and trying to be cool, belittling societal issues like school shootings is not cool, Frankie. 'Bring A Gun to School' immeditately establishes the penchant this album embodies furthermore, the album is horrendous, if totally effective in its intentions to make you cringe. 'Eternal Enemies' only takes a matter of a few seconds before it abandons all pretense and flushes itself right down the toilet. Following 2012's Slave to the Game, Emmure returns with an album that depicts now standalone frontman Frankie Palmeri as nothing short of a complete asshole. An incessant drumbeat of misogyny and homophobia is the bedrock of this record, and those three things combined cannot rival the fact that's it genuine. You know you've stooped to lowly status when your ex guitarist calls you a "disgusting human being." Emmure's most recent release stands undeservedly as an amalgamation of a monotonous nu metal sensibility that wears on you the more you give it unwarranted attention.
