If you like Doom Metal, you will like Khemmis. I would find it hard to believe that you'd like metal and not know who they are by now with Dio and AIC covers having been out for so long now. If you like Mercyful Fate or Sleep you probably like Khemmis. The blast beats, the doom riffs, the vocals, the lyrics... all worthy of putting their records in your collections. Their newest slab is a self titled sonic death ride to oblivion. Having been out since June Ithink it covers ground that we need covered, musically. Instrumentation is in a fever pitch in a number of sonic harmonies and tones. Blending vocals and music together in their signature style of bass heavy 80's influenced metal. They are one of a handful of bands that truly define these sub genres. Already on a second press, if you're going to get it, the getting is good. My favorite track so far is "Carrion King" with a back of "Bemeath The Scythe". They did a set on KEXP that is just rad, if you can't get out to see them.
