Khemmis combines the soul of Black Sabbath, the soaring harmonies of Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden, and the visceral weight of contemporary sludge and doom metal.
No regurgitation. No gimmicks. No trends.
In July 2015, the band released Absolution, a six track, forty-minute journey through transcendent melodies and pure auditory annihilation. Recorded with Dave Otero (Cobalt, Primitive Man) and Shane Howard at Flatline Audio, the album earned praise from listeners and critics alike. Decibel Magazine named it the #9 metal album of 2015, while Pitchfork named it their #5 release of the year. It earned accolades from NPR, Apple Music, Invisible Oranges, Noisey, and No Clean Singing, among others.

on A Conversation with Death
Oh Mort
Voulez-vous m'épargner pour une autre année ?
Eh bien qu'est-ce que c'est que je ne peux pas voir,
Avec des mains glacées qui me saisit ?
Eh bien, je suis la mort, personne ne peut exceller.
J'ouvre la porte du paradis ou de l'enfer.
Oh Mort
Oh Mort
Trop tard, trop tard, adieu à tous.
Mon âme est condamnée, alors écoutez-moi bien.
Tant que Dieu demeura dans le ciel,
Votre âme, votre âme criera en enfer.
