Spite, Emmure, and Psycho-Frame

Emmure was first formed in 2003 when Frankie Palmeri met Ben and Joe Lionetti online, which prompted Palmeri to travel to the Lionetti’s in New Fairfield so that they could start rehearsing as a band. Bassist Mark Davis and guitarist Jesse Ketive also joined them and recorded two demos, “Nince Eleven Zero Four” and “Demo” in 2005. The demos successfully caught the attention of This City Is Burning Records who helped them release Emmure’s first EP entitled “The Complete Guide To Needlework.” The EP further led to more attention and resulted in Emmure signing with Victory Records. In 2007 the band released their first full-length album, “Goodbye To The Gallows.”

In 2008 they successfully completed their first tour of a majority of the United States, supporting various other bands such as Misery Signals, August Burns Red, and Burn Down Rome. That same summer, they went on a headlining tour with bands like Endwell, On Broken Wings and Recon. Despite the successful run of tours, the Lionetti brothers left the band, who were replaced by Mike Mulholland and Michael Kaabe. Following the small lineup change, the band released their third album, “Felony” which was released on 18 August 2009.

The group again set out on tour alongside Of Mice and Men, Pierce the Veil and In Fear And Faith. After the tour of the United States, they toured Europe with various other bands such as Parkway Drive and Comeback Kid. The band continued to successfully tour and release albums, and in 2014 released “Eternal Enemies” followed by month long promotion tour.
