About Embrium

Hailing from San Francisco’s dynamic metal scene, Embrium merges the atmospheric beauty of shoegaze with the intensity of black metal, creating a sound that is as hauntingly ethereal as it is visceral. Since their 2021 debut EP, which gained recognition from Metal Injection and Apple Music’s "Breaking Metal" and "Fresh Blood" playlists, the band has been hard at work carving out their place in the blackgaze genre with their next release, Timekeeper, which is the result of three years of creative exploration, drawing on literary themes of time, loss, the dangers of magic, the struggle of life, and the search for self-identity.

Founded in 2019 by Paul Reed Smith Pulse Artist Mosahefu, Embrium consists of songwriter/guitarist Joey Menicucci, vocalist Jade Forsythe, drummer Matt Baird and Ayani Hayashi on bass.
