Colorado (USA) based doom quartet Khemmis hooked up with the label 20 Buck Spin for the band's impending debut album, Absolution, which is coming together for release later this summer amidst pervasive touring from the band. The six meticulously crafted songs on Absolution reveal a level of musicianship and writing skill seldom heard on debut albums. Often within the scope of a single song, Khemmis veers effortlessly between the crushing heaviness of Southern sludge and the somber melodies of traditional doom metal, cohesively weaving the disparate styles into their own immediately recognizable form. Vocally, Khemmis also utilizes a dual approach, sometimes harsh and guttural, but generally through a stunningly smooth classic doom/heavy rock delivery that even adamant fans of Pete Stahl and Wino will applaud. The powerfully adept rhythm section perfectly anchor the towering riff mastery and colorful dual guitar harmonies, all brought together by Dave Otero's (Cobalt, Nightbringer) pitch perfect production work. Tracklist and cover artwork of Absolution are below. The digital and CD versions are set to hit the stores on 7th July and the LP version closer to mid-August. Link
