Khemmis - Doomed Heavy Metal - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After eleven years of releasing albums and touring the world, Khemmis' 5th full length record is a dense, blood-infused honey for the ear. A grand spiritual celebration of heavy metal, a concept album framed as a ritual of musical freedom that starts with the pounding rhythms of InchInvocation of the DreamerInch and culminates with the starlit exaltation of InchBenediction Tones.Inch Album Tracks 1. Invocation of the Dreamer 2. Corpsebloom Garden 3. Grief's Reverie 4. Beneath the Scythe 5. Gilded Chambers 6. Tomb of Roses 7. Carrion King 8. Benediction Tones

Written and recorded in the midst of a dizzying stretch in which nearly everything about the way the band lived and worked was turned on it's head, Motel Radio's InchThe GardenInch is indeed a work of relentless hope. The songs are profoundly vulnerable here, and the performances are warm and breezy, calling to mind everything from Andy Shauf and Cass McCombs to Beck and Tame Impala with an easygoing demeanor that belies the deep emotional work underpinning them.

InchSynths, samples, beats, plug-ins; suddenly these whole new worlds of sound were at our fingertips and the possibilities were limitless.Inch That creative liberation is easy to hear on The Garden, which opens with the mesmerizing InchWise.Inch Like much of the album, it's a gentle meditation on finding joy and fulfillment, on spreading love and positivity.
