Avant-Garde Death Metal Band of the Day: Azure Emote
Azure Emote’s avant-garde death metal ought to stand out on its own — the band was envisioned and created by Mike Hrubovcak (Monstrosity, Vile, Divine Rapture, Abraxas) — but since MetalSucks readers are a jaded bunch who might need a little extra impetus to push “play” on the video below, here’s a list of musicians who participated in the band’s latest album The Gravity of Impermanence:
- Mike Hrubovcak – vocals, lyrics, keyboards, electronic programming, samples, harmonica
- Ryan Moll (Rumpelstiltskin Grinder)- lead/rhythm guitars
- Mike Heller (Malignancy, Fear Factory, System Divide) – drums/percussion
- Kelly Conlon (Death, Monstrosity) – bass
- Pete Johansen (Tristania, Sirenia) – violin/electric violin
- Sandra Laureano – vocals
- Melissa Ferlaak Koch (Visions of Atlantis, Echoterra) – vocals
- Bruce Lamont (Yakuza) – saxophone
- Jonah Weingarten (Pyrzamaze) – keytar solos
- J.J. Hrubovcak (Hate Eternal, Divine Rapture) – guest guitar solo
- Jason Ian-Vaughn Eckert – guest electronic programming

The Gravity Of Impermanence is fueled by pummeling blast beats, haunting female vocals, violins, saxophone, harmonica and a barrage of other eclectic surprises brought together into one melting pot of misanthropic darkness
