Lionetti Brother Split With Emmure

A few weeks ago there was buzz about the Lionetti Brothers, Joe and Ben, splitting from deathcore out Emmure. Their management said that it was due to a family emergency, but in a recent message on Lambgoat, Joe Lionetti cleared the air.

“I want to clear the air now since no one is really doing it. Recently, as you may have heard, me and my brother Ben left the band for what they said was a family emergency. That night there was an altercation in the band that really spilt us down the middle even more that we had been in recent months. But to be clear, me and Ben have officially left Emmure. We started this band in our basement in the beginning of ‘03, however, it seems that it has gotten away from us. I do cherish the time we spent on the road with these guys creating something out of nothing. I’m very proud of what we have accomplished but it is time to move on. Thanks to all the bands and fans that we have made friends with. Thank you so much. We are both already working on other projects. We will keep everyone posted as things progress.”

Ahh…respect.
