EMISSARY UNVEILS “THE SILENT TREATMENT” CAPITOL RECORDS MASTER
A POWERFUL NEW TAKE ON A FAN FAVORITE CUT

Release Date: November 24, 2025

Medford’s own Emissary is at it again, sharpening their USPM and melodic thrash edge with a newly unearthed version of “The Silent Treatment.” This alternate master, originally created during the production cycle for their 2022 full length “The Wretched Masquerade,” is finally getting its moment in the spotlight.

This isn’t just any alternate version either. This one was mastered by Grammy Award winning, RIAA Multi Platinum and Gold Mastering and Mix Engineer Evren Göknar , whose long tenure at Capitol Records put him behind the board for icons like KISS, Megadeth, and Queensryche. If you’re hearing shades of that classic sheen, you’re not imagining it.

The track appears on a brand new compilation album from Metallurg Music in Ukraine, set to drop in late November alongside issue #6 of Metallurg Magazine. It’s packed with an international lineup including DarkFlow, Hybridized, Rage Unfold, Silver Phantom, Celtic Hills, Everlust, Crystal Sword, and plenty more underground firepower.

Frontman Jym Harris breaks it down straight:

“We tried out a few different mastering engineers when ‘Wretched’ came out,” he says. “Jamie King mastered the full album for consistency, but Evren’s version always had a special character to it. We used his master on a limited summer tour EP and hardly anyone got their hands on that thing, so we’re stoked people can finally hear it again.”

Emissary continues building momentum after their debut album and their 2024 maxi single “The Crystal Witch,” with a new full length planned for 2026. The current lineup includes Jym Harris (vocals), Tim Dahlen (guitar), Charlie Francipane (guitar), Peter Shawn Kinney (bass), and Tony Mullins (drums).

For fans of Metal Church, Death Angel, Megadeth
(Zach’s take: I definitely hear the Metal Church punch, but there’s also a little early Sanctuary and a pinch of Forbidden attitude hiding in there.)

The compilation CD will be available through Emissary’s Bandcamp starting in December.
