“Invocation Of The Dreamer” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
After eleven years of releasing albums and touring the world, Khemmis’ fifth 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 »Invocation Of The Dreamer« and culminates with the starlit exaltation of »Benediction Tones«.
Khemmis comments: “Our new single ‘Invocation Of The Dreamer’ is out now! Not only that but we are thrilled to announce our new album »Khemmis«. Plus – we just announced a killer upcoming headlining tour with Necrofier and Wretched.
This record is a celebration of the music world that has sustained us, both individually and collectively, and has also gifted us with community and a sense of meaning. In many ways, we have reconnected with the energy and excitement from our earliest days as a band, an unabashed desire to play loud, heavy music. That exuberance is infused with a profound sense of gratitude to be able to create art with each other and to share it with the world.
Vinyl will be available on gatefold LP with limited edition colors including a band exclusive orange/sky blue splatter, a label exclusive pearl flip/waterfall edition, a transparent orange edition and a Decibel Magazine exclusive red/black marbled edition, as well as both jewelcase and CD digipak editions.
We also have a sumptuous deluxe edition of the record featuring exclusive extras – a behind-the-scenes photobook, an autographed promo photo, and more – directly from our website.
