Riff Police #15: Emmure Vs Bohemian Grove!
It’s not an iconic riff but it is certainly one that stands out. A lead guitar part at the start of an Emmure track from their now former Guitarist Jesse Ketive is something rare enough that it stands out against the bands back catalogue. “A Voice From Below” is certainly a moment on 2011’s solid “Speaker of the Dead”.
Fast forward to 2017 and Leeds/York based Deathcore heavyweights Bohemian Grove. One of their stand out tracks “Refuse to be a Martyr” from their exceptional album “Hollow”. Utilizing the same riff across the bridge, it really stands out. Are they named after an Emmure track as well? Either way, busted.
