EMANUEL sind seit dem ersten Februar im Studio gewesen, um ihr neues Album "Black Earth Tiger" aufzunehmen. Die Band arbeitete mit dem bekannten Produzenten Terry Date (Soundgarden, Deftones, Pantera, Smashing Pumpkins) zusammen und nahm ihr Album in den berühmten Studio Litho auf. Die Band hat folgendes zu ihrem ambitionierten Zweitwerk zu sagen:
"When we started writing the songs for Black Earth Tiger over a year ago we knew we wanted to make something different from Soundtrack To A Headrush. Writing STAHR had started so much for us but it had been done so long ago. It had died, and we knew this album had to be about endings. Black Earth Tiger is all about endings. I think there is, in the collective consciousness, this feeling that maybe the world is going to end. Its something I've been obsessing over for years, and Black Earth Tiger touches on that; but it also touches on the end of relationships, ideas, lives and eras."
Das ALbum stellt den Nachfolger zu dem Debüt "Soundtrack To A Headrush" dar.
