Emmett is now releasing worldwide Then Again... through Deko Entertainment (ADA/Warner
Music Group) as part of a new deal with
Music in Motion Ent. As he states about the release, "There seems little point in simply trying to repeat history, so we came at it from a different place: the place where Dave Dunlop and I dealt with these songs, on smaller nightclub & intimate listening room stages. Honoring the endurance of these songs, but giving them a fresh, stripped-down and 21st century D.I.Y. perspective." Enjoy reimagined versions of classics like, "Lay It on the Line," "Magic Power," and "Fight the Good Fight."

The classic Triumph album Allied Forces sold over a million copies in the US, while attaining the highest chart positions any Triumph album would attain: #23 in the US and #13 in Canada.

"Magic Power" reached #8 on the Billboard Mainstream Top Rock Tracks chart and #51 on the Hot 100, while "Fight the Good Fight" went to #18 on the Top Rock Tracks chart.
