Untitled

Eternal Enemies is the sixth studio album from Emmure, released on April 15, 2014. It is the final album to feature drummer Mark Castillo after his departure less than 3 months after the album's release.[2]

Background

When the track listing for the album was released on February 18, 2014,[3] the name of the first track, "Bring A Gun To School", sparked another bit of controversy. This resulted in their former guitarist Ben Lionetti making a statement with respect to his former ensemble and commenting on the track, calling lead vocalist Frankie Palmeri a "disgusting human being". He has considered filing legal action against Emmure, their record label and their management to retrieve the money that is due to him and his brother Joe, a former drummer of the band.[4][5] The song has been labeled as "(Untitled)" on the iTunes store.[6]
