EMBR
Bio
EMBR boasts a remarkable discography of standout releases. Their 2016 album, 261, delivered a potent mix of heavy riffs and celestial vocals. In 2017, 271 maintained the intensity but introduced a softer, more nuanced side, achieving a balance between power and subtlety.
Early in 2019, 326: Spiritual Dialysis took their sound to new levels with a thunderous and defining force. Each of EMBR’s EPs has been well-received, offering a varied sonic palette while remaining true to their fundamental mission.
Their debut full-length album, 1823, released in 2020 on the UK label New Heavy Sounds, earned critical acclaim. This was followed by the EP IDOLATRY and the single Mary Did You Know in December 2020, with reviews available below.
The IDOLATRY EP, released later in 2020, featured covers of songs by Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Stone Temple Pilots.
In 2021, EMBR celebrated New Heavy Sounds’ 10th anniversary with a three-song EP, 1021, which marked a new era for the band. They also recorded a cover of the Down classic “Bury Me in Smoke” with Dayglo Mourning.
EMBR has toured widely across the Southeast and as far as Iowa and Minnesota, having opened for The Sword and continuing to expand their reach.
In late 2023, EMBR released their self-titled sophomore album with Black Doomba Records. In 2024, they collaborated with Atlanta band THRUMM to cover COC’s “Albatross.”
Now, EMBR is preparing to release a new single titled Tensions.
