Australian heavy rockers Emergency Rule have released a thunderous new live video for ‘The Hook’, taken from their acclaimed 2024 album ‘The King of Ithaca’—a record that earned rave reviews, including a perfect 10/10 from Metal Hammer Spain.

Filmed during the band’s first-ever tour of Japan in November 2024, the video captures the raw energy and power of Emergency Rule’s final show in Kobe at the iconic Blueport venue. The clip was directed, produced, and filmed by long-time creative collaborator Jason McNamara, who has worked closely with the band on multiple projects over the years.

The Japanese tour saw Emergency Rule perform six electrifying shows across the country, from Tokyo to Kobe, marking a major milestone in their international journey.

With momentum building, the band are now gearing up for a run of high-profile shows back home in Australia. Highlights include a set at Purgatory Festival at the soon-to-be-closed Crown & Anchor, support slots for both rock legends Electric Mary on their farewell tour at The Gov in Adelaide, and the Swedish party train that is Night Flight Orchestra. Followed by a national tour with Stoned Jesus (Ukraine), who are making their long-awaited Australian debut.

May 31st – Purgatory Festival – Crown & Anchor, Adelaide
June 1st – Supporting Night Flight Orchestra – The Gov, Adelaide

Aussie rockers EMERGENCY RULE are set to launch an East Coast run of shows in support of their debut album, ‘The King of Ithaca’. After recording sessions took place in between lockdowns, the album has finally emerged and the guys will be taking the riffs to Gold Coast, Sydney, Canberra & Melbourne, with a couple of hometown Adelaide shows thrown in the mix.

The Gold Coast show will be at Sonic Gravy Festival which has returned for a second year and features Brant Bjork (ex Kyuss) and his Trio as headliner. The King of Ithaca released in early February, has been lapped up by the music media.

“The album hits hard from the opening track and doesn’t let up. You’ll get taken into a world influenced by Sabbath, Floyd, and Maiden as much as blues or Bach. It’s that last shot of whisky, it’s that middle finger to your boss, it’s that last conversation you say to your girl as you leave her in the rearview mirror. It’s Emergency Rule.” – Hifi Way

“As soon as Emergency Rule hit the stage Bass guitarist Doug Clark’s fat bass sound and growling vocals immediately grabbed you by the throat as the band tore through their set of Sabbath inspired heavy riffery complimented by twin Lizzy style lead/harmonies on guitar compliments of Chris George and Cal Wegener. Add Ex Superjesus drummer Trav Dragani’s massive drum sound, as he destroys yet another set of skins and cymbals, and it’s the perfect storm.” – THE ROCKPIT

The Emergency Rule juggernaut steam rolling in for a night filled with monster riffs that will have you craving an encore!

It’s Sabbath with attitude, Down with a swagger, Skynyrd with power. The band’s laid-back vibe is a smokescreen to the musicians’ earth-shaking riffs.

Bringing heavy grooves, V8 style booming bass lines, and pounding room-quaking drums, Emergency Rule is a foot-stomping, head-banging rock ‘n’ roll sensation.

They’re a band of gifted musicians with a diverse history featuring Doug Clark (Universum) on bass/vocals, former 63 Stone guitarists Chris George and Cal Wegener, with Travis Dragani (Bruce Kulick, Mike Tramp) on drums.

They have supported acts as prestigious as Corrosion of Conformity, Suicidal Tendencies, Buckcherry, Sasquatch, Dozer, and Hardcore Superstar, and after a few years of teasing us with singles they are about to drop their thumping debut album ‘The King of Ithaca’.

Whether it’s the deal with the devil ‘Snake Eyes’ or the bar room barfly ‘Bartender’, Emergency Rule is a good time, no-nonsense-boogie-grooving infectious vibe. Pull up a chair, get a drink, and roll that dice.

Emerging from the pulsating heart of the Aussie rock scene, Emergency Rule has shattered genre boundaries, forging a unique sound that weaves together rock, stoner, and metal influences into a sonic tapestry of raw power and innovation.

“We are absolutely stoked to be joining the WormholeDeath family,” exclaimed the band in an exuberant statement. “Our debut album ‘The King of Ithaca’ is the culmination of numerous recording sessions completed throughout Covid lockdowns. It comprises riff-laden songs we have honed live on stage over the course of several years, and Jarrad Nettle (Co-Producer, Engineer) has managed to perfectly capture the sound and energy of our live shows in a studio environment.
With lyrical themes of corporate greed, revenge, heartache, domestic violence, drug addiction, death, mental health, religion, and regret, this album truly is a reflection of the world and a sign of the times we live in.
We can’t wait for everyone to hear “The King of Ithaca”, and we are thrilled to be partnering with WormholeDeath to deliver it to the masses.”
