KHEMMIS - Deceiver 19.11.21

Weg ist der Doom nicht auf der Platte. Geht allg. nur etwas flotter zur Sache. Reiner Doom waren die eh nie. Klingt auf jeden Fall nicht aufgesetzt, eher runder und kompletter als auf den beiden Vorgängern.
 
Mein Vinyl kommt wohl erst nächste Woche mit der Fates Warning Live CD. Aber Gott sei Dank habe ich Amazon Music Unlimited!

Album ist richtig Klasse. Habe das letzte Album schon lange nicht mehr gehört, mein mich aber zu erinnern das es deutlich seichter war. Man hat wohl etwas an Härte zugelegt. Passt auf jeden Fall.
 
Gerade mal den Erstdurchlauf gestartet. Auf der einen Seite find ich es schade, dass der arg fuzzige Gitarren-Sound weg ist, aber dennoch bin ich echt zufrieden mit der Platte. Eine starke dritte Scheibe, und ich vermute ein würdiger Nachfolger... gefällt mir gut
 
Bevor es zu ruhig wird um die Jungs:


We are thrilled to announce that we will contribute a track to Magnetic Eye Records’ newest project, a reimagining of the legendary Alice in Chainsalbum Dirt. After the success of their last undertaking, Pink Floyd’s The Wall (featuring Pallbearer, (the) Melvins, ASG, and many more), the Magnetic Eye crew set their sights on Seattle. We are honored to be part of the record; just wait until you find out what song we’re covering and who else is on this project. Want to support this project and sure that it happens?

Und sind jetzt anscheinend bei Nuclear Blast gelandet:

KHEMMIS SIGN TO NUCLEAR BLAST WORLDWIDE!
Nuclear Blast are proud to announce the now worldwide signing of Denver, Colorado based doomed heavy metal quartet Khemmis. Welcome to the global family! Khemmis released their third studio album Desolation in June 2018, to rapturous praise from fans and media alike. They are currently working on new material, and are planning to tour throughout 2019.

Khemmis commented on the news: “We are honored and excited to join the Nuclear Blast roster alongside so many legendary artists. Endless thanks to Monte Conner, Mark Palmer, Yorck Eysel and the rest of the amazing team at Nuclear Blast for sharing in our vision for the future. We also send our unending gratitude to Dave Adelson of 20 Buck Spin, who not only took a chance on us when he released Absolution in 2015 but also became a true friend and brother to us over the last few years. Finally, thanks to everyone who has supported us by seeing us live, snagging a shirt, and/or picking up a CD or LP. Without all of you, none of this would be possible. We’ve got some very exciting announcements about tours, festivals, and new music coming soon. Cheers!”

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

Having worked for the third time with Dave Otero of Flatline Audio in Denver, the band and producer achieved a deep mutual understanding, able to arrive at the perfect symbiosis of song writing, arrangement, and production value.
Formed in Denver in 2012, Khemmis have released three albums to date. 2015’s Absolution and 2016’s Hunted painted a unique portrait; encompassing spiraling progressive doom, fuzz-toned stoner riffs, syrupy sludge and churning classic grooves. They transcended traditional doom forming elegant yet dramatic tracks, conveying their unique sense of melancholy edged with a sense of foreboding.

With latest record Desolation, Khemmis have finally reached a more international audience, winning over hearts and minds across the globe.
