Emmure announce new drummer
Emmure has announced the addition of Mark Costillo (ex-Bury Your Dead) as their new drummer.  Guitarist Jesse Ketive had this to say about the addition: “Mark Costillo has been a good friend for a few years now.

The band is currently in the studio with producer Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada) tracking their new album, with a release expected later this year via Sumerian.
