On June 22nd, Denver based four-piece Khemmis will guide us into their captivating world of heavy metal and crushing doom with their third studio album, Desolation. Having already dominated the US scene and with their previous full length release Hunted being named ‘Album of the Year 2016’ by Decibel magazine, it’s now time for Khemmis to take over Europe. After releasing the first single ‘Isolation’, another song from the new album is now available to stream online. Watch the official visualiser for Bloodletting, including animated album artwork by Sam Turner and live performance footage of the band, below!
Guitarist and vocalist Ben Hutcherson commented on the track: ”Bloodletting’ displays a number of new directions we take throughout this album. A big, harmonized overture gives way to soaring vocals and classic metal grooves before dragging you into uncharted, crushing darkness.’
Desolation will see release via 20 Buck Spin in North America and via Nuclear Blast Entertainment throughout the rest of the world.
The bewitching cover artwork for the new album was created by Sam Turner (Black Breath, 3 Inches Of Blood, In The Company Of Serpents).
