Emmure have officially announced that Mark Castillo (ex-Bury Your Dead/Crossfade, etc.) will serve as their new drummer. According to band guitarist Jesse Ketive:
“Mark Castillo has been a good friend for a few years now. Mark approached us as he heard through the grapevine that EMMURE needed a helping hand, so at that point I chatted with him about possibly recording our new CD and playing some shows.
After jamming the set a few times we all decided that Mark was the perfect fit for us and undoubtedly should be our new drummer. He is the upmost professional and his work on the new effort in going to really help us bring everything to another level. Everyone better watch out.”
The band are currently in the studio with producer Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada) tracking their next album. No word yet on whether or not Castillo will wear goofy hats or opt for the more traditional flatbrim.
