Bassist Mark Davis, lead guitarist Jesse Ketive, rhythm guitarist Mike Mulholland, and drummer Adam Pierce announced earlier this week that they have left Emmure and will be forming a new band.

Palmeri posted the following message to fans on Facebook in the wake of the mass exodus by the other members and revealed that he has a new lineup of the group in place already: "Well I think I have left you all waiting in suspense long enough. I want to first start out by saying the amount of positive support I have gotten since this news broke has been incredible, and I am so thankful to have so many true fans stand behind me during this time. As far as the future goes I am happy to tell you all that this is not the end of Emmure.

"There is in fact a new line up right now and we are currently working on a new studio album. Details about all of that will come to light as the weeks and month progress, but do know that there is something to look forward to.

"You can expect us to be making up for lost time next year as we start our first tour dates in Europe and will eventually make our way back to the USA near the end of 2016.
