Emma decided to go solo when the band split and her debut album, 'Watch the Fireworks' was released in September of this year.
~~~The Album~~~

Lots more catchy tunes that get you singing alone to. Beautiful, often haunting 
sometimes you want something a little more upbeat..in which case put something else on Unusual, intelligent songs; nice combination of genres; musicianship Sometimes annoying juvenilia style lyrics; some weak tracks It last for forty odd minutes.

A great, long sought-after Bernstein treasure Really, there are none. This is a deserved release

Cannibal Corpse's good song, and some okay covers. Unremarkable performance.
Concealed - Augury
Truly innovative and experimental progressive death metal that retains all its power. Won't be to more traditional metal fans' tastes.
Concrete Gospel - Chief Kamachi
Hip-Hop & Rap - Gangsta & Hardcore
Codex Necro - Anaal Nathrakh
Great if you're angry. Lacks restraint and structure.
