KHEMMIS - Reveal Details About Upcoming Album, Lead Single And Video Released

Denver (USA) doom metal quartet Khemmis has issued the details and lead single for their anxiously-anticipated third album, Desolation. Confirmed for 22nd June release, Desolation will see release in North America once again through 20 Buck Spin, as with their prior two albums, and is the first album from the band to see release for the rest of the planet through Nuclear Blast Records.
The cover artwork for Desolation is by Sam Turner (Black Breath, 3 Inches Of Blood, In The Company Of Serpents), the track listing, and more on the album has been issued alongside its first single, "Isolation", delivered through an epic video directed by Italo Ganni. Desolation is an album that fans of Paradise Lost, Candlemass, Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Spirit Adrift, Pallbearer, Yob, Warning, Atlantean Kodex, High On Fire, Metallica and Corrosion Of Conformity should not miss.
From the stadium-sized opening notes of "Bloodletting" it is immediately evident that Khemmis is again putting distance between themselves and their earlier influences to inform a sound that is singularly their own. "Isolation" - which the band recently aired live on the Decibel Tour - is the album's lead single and most immediate track, with the classic metal melodies the band have become revered for shining throughout. On epic closer "From Ruin" and throughout the entirety of the album, the lead vocals and melodies of Phil Pendergast are the clearest, most powerful and best arranged that the band has achieved. Working for the third time with Dave Otero at Flatline Audio in Denver, the band and producer now have the familiarity and mutual experience to arrive at the perfect symbiosis of songwriting, arrangement and production value.
While Khemmis is 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. Desolation is not just the best Khemmis record to date but a testament to the quality that heavy metal is still capable of. Watch the official video for "Isolation" in the player below. Link



Desolation tracklist:
01. Bloodletting
02. Isolation
03. Flesh To Nothing
04. The Seer
05. Maw Of Time
06. From Ruin
