Emery - "The Weak's End" @ Score! Music Magazine

Photo Unavailable	Emery - The Weak's End
	Location	Seattle via South Carolina
	Initial Impression	The press release declares Emery to be "recapturing the definitive meaning of [emo]."
Notable Lyric	"The chains of death are falling, but my heart still bleeds/It longs for the day when we will be as one."
Factoid	The six-piece moved from S.C. to Seattle the same day as the WTC attacks - September 11, 2001.
Serve With	Faith, old photographs, a pillow to punch, Kleenex…
Comments	Although the emo/screamo genre is inundated with bands - many of which seem to just be copying the same tried and true formula, and hence come off sounding quite generic - more keep popping up. Now, I hate to admit it, but Emery is one act that actually shows much talent and loads of passion on their debut release The Weak's End, an album overflowing with equal parts melody and stormy, whirlwind aesthetics. The guys oscillate between the two disparate sounds well, fusing both light and harsh elements deftly - clean vocals are offset at times by abrasive screams, beautiful guitar work and understated drums turn tempestuous on a dime, etc. And for the most part, it all works. The band will be heading out on the Tooth And Nail Tour beginning in February with Anberlin, Further Seems Forever, Watashi Wa, and mewithoutYou. Check the Website for details.
