We Do What We Want

A heavy, high-velocity pivot toward metallic post-hardcore. Aggressive screaming and intricate harmonies collide over relentless percussion and jagged riffs.

It's the Emery album where they finally decided to just go full-throttle and scream their heads off.

A high-tension collision of frantic aggression and desperate melodic beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition in 'The Cheval Glass' where melodic vocals are suddenly swallowed by a wall of dissonant screaming.
The way 'I Never Got to See the West Coast' builds from a somber, piano-driven intro into a massive, sweeping emotional climax.
The frantic, almost math-rock guitar interplay during the bridge of 'Scissors' that resolves into a soaring chorus.
