Emissary (2)

Emissary was a blues-influenced metal band based in Montreal, Canada. It was formed in June of 1993 by the members of the heavy metal band Boize, shortly after their fourth vocalist joined. Their style was changing so they decided to change name. Emissary recorded a demo, "Reach In", in the August of 1993 and then worked on writing a full-length album for several years. The delay was caused by a constant change of band members. During the recording of their full-length album, "Digging Up Old Bones", in February of 1996, Emissary changed name to Breaking Violet in order to avoid confusion with other bands also named "Emissary". "Digging Up Old Bones" was released in October of 1996 under the name of "Breaking Violet" and was promoted with a music video for the song "Greed". Breaking Violet broke up in early 1999.
