Khemmis Enter Studio; West Coast Tour Announced
Colorado doomers Khemmis have entered the studio to record their second full-length for 20 Buck Spin. Yet untitled, the album is being recorded by Dave Otero, who also helmed their debut, Absolution (review here), and like that record, will also feature artwork by Sam Turner. Khemmis will play Southwest Terror Fest this fall and no doubt more besides as they move closer to the sophomore outing’s release, which seems likely to show up in the fall or over the winter at the latest. The tour below, which is set for August, will take them to Migration Fest, where they’ll play with Mournful Congregation, Vhöl, Magic Circle and more.

KHEMMIS: Colorado Doom Quartet Confirms August Tour Leading Up To Migration Fest; Band Enters The Studio With Dave Otero Today
Colorado’s supreme doom metal quartet, KHEMMIS, has confirmed a series of tour dates preceding and including the band’s impending performance at the mighty maiden installation of Migration Fest this August. Additionally, the band enters the studio today in order to bring their second album to fruition.
KHEMMIS is currently settling in at Flatline Audio in their hometown of Denver with Dave Otero (Cobalt, Cephalic Carnage, Cattle Decapitation), for an extensive recording session in order to capture their anxiously-awaited new album, the follow-up to their acclaimed 2015 debut LP, Absolution. Following the studio venture, the completed album will be finalized in June and fitted with artwork currently under construction by Sam Turner (3 Inches of Blood, Black Breath, TRVE Brewing) for release in late Summer or early Fall again through 20 Buck Spin, as with their Absolution LP, also created with the winning combo of Turner and Otero’s handiwork.
KHEMMIS’ upcoming West Coast tour will begin in their hometown of Denver on August 4th, with Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Glendale, Oakland, Sacramento, and Portland on the itinerary leading up to the band’s performance on August 12th at Migration Fest in Olympia. The festival also features the slated first live collaborative performance by The Body & Krieg, the first live public performance by Panopticon, a set by Australian funeral doom behemoths Mournful Congregation, and sets by Auroch, Christian Mistress, Full Of Hell, Krallice, Magic Circle, Nightfell, Obsequiae, Vastum, Vhol, and others. The tour routing and a beautiful poster by Cameron Hinojosa have been issued.
