On the new single, vocalistMeyrick de la Fuente states:
"Our latest offering ‘Emerge’ is a bombastic, melodic and sweeping metal anthem, which serves as the emotional climax of the album.
"As the penultimate song on our new self-titled studio album, 'Emerge' lives up to its name lyrically uplifting the listener with guitar and vocal parts which can only be described as epic. This track is our favourite example of the melodic chemistry betweenMeyrickandMikey, with intertwining melodies, whilst the hard hitting rhythm section gives the song its pulsing and anthemic feel.
"Mixed with a breakdown of harsh vocals, and guitar melodies that vintageAvenged Sevenfoldthemselves would approve of, 'Emerge' is sure to be the emotive anthem our fans will sing their hearts out to. We absolutely cannot wait to play this one live because of the sing-along nature and those guitar solos.
'Emerge' is a personal favourite of ours and our fans who have had a chance to hear it early. The song and video is the perfect representation of our journey and abilities so far. We cannot wait for this one."
On the upcoming full-length album, the band comment:
"We are very excited to present our latest, self-titled, full length album. For us this is a culmination of a lot of work, building and evolving. We bring back a lot of the heavier elements from our older releases while keeping a lot of the aesthetics and layers from Triptych. As musicians we have always struggled with where to place ourselves amongst our peers and always written music we wanted to make over intentionally fitting into existing trends. We feel that this album is by far our most accomplished and self-assured record to date, reincorporating harsh vocals while exploring new territory on the guitar side of things."

In celebration of the album's release date, Exist Immortal will be embarking on a string of UK-based tour dates, including a headline set in Camden's intimate Black Heart on release day.
"We are bringing our biggest and best headline show we have ever toured with us and will be playing new songs alongside fan favourites, so old and new fans alike will experience something fresh. Our new record is set for an 14th October release, which we feel is easily our best work to date drawing influence from our entire back catalogue of music into the most refined, truest version of EXIM. This London show will be the official launch party of the new album and we are so excited that this show and iconic venue will be the very first time this new era is brought into the world."
