Tensions between metalcore bands Emmure and Alpha Wolf look to have spilled over online amid the past few days. The friction between the two camps apparently rose amid the two group’s recent North American tour, which also featured UnityTX and Chamber. Alpha Wolf were the headliners on that bill, with Emmure appearing as direct support.
Emmure vocalist Frankie Palmeri notably fired what appeared to be the opening shot on social media with the below post, which excluded mention of Alpha Wolf from their involvement in the trek.

Alpha Wolf bassist/vocalist John Arnold clapped back:
Shout out to our support bands ???? https://t.co/6t3QmzrmDf

That led Palmeri to fire back at Arnold, offering:
Thank you! We had a blast.. out selling you..out playing you…just over all crushing it..🤟🏻👹. Sorry half the crowd left last night. Always next time! https://t.co/JtWj9Vr7Rk

While it was initially suspected that the ‘beef’ may have been a work akin to Alpha Wolf‘s past ‘feud’ with Invent Animate, it appears this squabble was more genuine. However, those expecting another Emmure/The Acacia Strain moment should temper their bloodlust, as it appears this latest clash of egos has since been resolved behind the scenes.
