Colorado’s doom merchants Khemmis reconfirm their solid status in the chaotic modern metal scene creating a parallel dimension of heaviness and epic fantasy on the brand new eponymous full length.
“Corpsebloom Garden” rightfully unleashes the heavy weight of doom metal through a monolithic rhythmic section emphasized by Hutcherson’s hostile guttural vocals while guitars impress the audience with the inspiring melodic essence of a particularly charismatic solo.
“Grief’s Reverie” can certainly deliver monumental rhythmic dynamics fueled by aggressive riffage and merciless growls yet sweeping melodic guitars choose vibrant melancholic tonalities naturally expressing a sincere emotional whirlwind.
“Beneath The Scythe” constantly focuses on the complex guitar work effortlessly generating robust rhythmic blasts and ultimately reaching an alluring melodic momentum with impeccable leads.
“Carrion King” channels a primal extreme metal force to meticulously build an inflamed rhythmic assault and the consequent ominous vibes lead to dramatically slower progressions with a tenebrous classic doom metal flair.
“Benediction Tones” successfully maintains a satisfying groovy approach with the perfect dosage of frantic guitar riffs but you can still appreciate a sorrowful melodic flow complemented by a poignant vocal delivery.
On this intricate self titled opus Khemmis celebrates the glorious spirit of heavy metal demonstrating genuine devotion and refreshing creativity through majestic grooves and intense melodic themes.
