KHEMMIS is an American doomed heavy metal band from Denver, Colorado. Their debut record, 'Absolution,' earned the four-piece outright critical praise from the underground, including a slot on Decibel Magazines Top 40 Albums of the Year list, which allowed them to start seeping into the mainstream consciousness. 2016's 'Hunted' helped break down those final barriers in the USA, earning Khemmis more widespread recognition, ranging from glowing reviews at Metal Sucks, Metal Injection and Pitchfork, to earning them a spot in Rolling Stones 20 Best Metal Albums of 2016 list and Decibels highly sought after Album of the Year accolade. With their latest full-length record 'Desolation,' Khemmis have finally reached a more international audience, winning over hearts and minds across the globe. Though undeniably influenced by doom and classic metal, to tag the quartet with those labels doesnt do justice to what theyve accomplished. Theirs is a perfect representation of modern heavy metal that integrates the past in a way only possible with the faculty of hindsight. The album earned widespread critical praise from the global metal press and marked the bands first appearance on the Billboard charts. Moreover, the band remains hard at work writing the follow up to Desolation, which will be their first worldwide release with Nuclear Blast.
SOURVEIN, since October of 1993, T-Roy has been on a nomadic mission to bring the visions of Sourvein to life through distortion and determination. One city and country at a time, Sourvein has been on the road closing in on 25 years. Called "one of the heaviest bands to ever walk the Earth" by Terrorizer Magazine, the band has returned with their Metal Blade debut "Aquatic Occult" (2016) and plan to hit the high seas once again to pillage and plunder across the globe.
IRON WALRUS have made a name for themselves in the doom / sludge / metal scene. After 2 major European tours with CROWBAR (2014 & 2015), the German shows with ROOTS (Cavalera Brothers), OBITUARY, SODOM, TROUBLE, ST.VITUS, MANTAR & PENTAGRAM as well as appearances at Desert Fest London, Hammer of Doom, the Rockavaria Festival and the Stoned From The Underground Festival - they caused a lot of open mouths and sweaty hair. At the end of 2020, Iron Walrus will release their successor album.
