KHEMMIS discuss non-metal influences in new album trailer

Denver based four-piece KHEMMIS are set to guide us into their captivating world of heavy metal and crushing doom with their third studio album, »Desolation« this Friday, June 22nd.

Having already dominated the US scene and with their previous full length release »Hunted« being named ‘Album of the Year 2016’ by Decibel magazine, it's now time for KHEMMIS to take over Europe.

We spoke to Zach, Phil and Dan from the band about their non-metal musical influences and if any of their picks influenced the creation of their new album, »Desolation« – watch the first part, here:

»Desolation« will see release via 20 Buck Spin in North America and via Nuclear Blast Entertainment throughout the rest of the world.

The bewitching cover artwork for the new album was created by Sam Turner (Black Breath, 3 Inches Of Blood, In The Company Of Serpents).

The band has announced the following live shows for this summer and will perforn »Desolation« in its entirety on these three shows:
29.06.  USA     Los Angeles, CA – Echoplex
01.07.  USA     Chicago, IL – Reggies
07.07.  USA     Denver, CO – The Hi Dive

KHEMMIS will also play on these summer festivals:
27.07.  USA     Pittsburgh, PA – Migration Fest
29.07.  CDN     Montréal, QC – Heavy Montréal

KHEMMIS‘ passion for progressive and soulful heavy music is more evident than ever. Though undeniably influenced by doom and classic metal, to tag them with those labels doesn‘t do justice to what‘s accomplished on »Desolation«; a perfect representation of modern heavy metal in 2018 that integrates the past in a way only possible in the present. It's impossible to ignore the lengths that the four piece go to, to master their craft and produce a highly unique form of heavy sound. Their magnificently uplifting, yet sorrowful groovy riffs weave you along on an unparalleled journey. »Desolation«is not just the best KHEMMIS record to date but a testament to the quality that heavy metal is still capable of.
