[edit] Napalm Death
Embury is the only member left who has been in the band since the Scum tour, replacing previous bassist Jim Whitley in 1987. He was a fan of the band before he joined, first seeing them perform at Midlands venue The Mermaid a year previously.[2]
[edit] Other projects
Before joining Napalm Death, Embury played bass in a death metal band called Azagthoth with Pete Giles, who would later play with him on Unseen Terror performing on the drums. His first band was called Warhammer (again with Pete Giles) and they released a demo called Abbatoir of Death.
Embury has a long list of side projects; besides playing with Napalm Death, he performed in the grindcore band Unseen Terror with members of Heresy, a hardcore/metal band called 'Blood from the Soul' with Lou Koller from New York's Sick of it All, an industrial band with Mitch Harris and several Obituary members called Meathook Seed, an unconventional band called Malformed Earthborn with Brutal Truth's bass player Dan Lilker, Lock Up and Brujeria, a Mexican death metal band. Embury also plays with Napalm Death bandmate Danny Herrera, Kevin Sharp (Brutal Truth) and Danny Lilker (Nuclear Assault/Brutal Truth) in the band Venomous Concept; and has recently toured with UK black metal/grindcore band Anaal Nathrakh. Embury recently[when?] resurrected a musical project called Absolute Power which he started in 2000, featuring, as yet, unnamed "celebrity" guests.
[edit] Personal life
He lives with his wife in Birmingham, West Midlands, and loves horror and science fiction books, movies and comics.[citation needed] As of 2009, both his arms are tattooed including the ND logo and the "Life?" image on his left arm.[3]
