Stoner metal act Emissary has their fourth single out, and the first of this year with “Only Memories.” The tempo switches up on this one, but things start off with a head of steam before gradually getting more melodic as it progresses. The first half of the song lives on a driving rhythm, before the guitars isolate, and a reflective sounding bridge moves in. As you might guess, the track is about looking back at someone from your past, and all that you have left of that person. It’s a dramatic five minutes, in the sense that the song ebbs and flows, but it keeps a listener hooked throughout the whole ride.
