Denver, Colorado based doomed heavy metal quartet KHEMMIS released digitally their new mini-album, Doomed Heavy Metal on April 17th via Nuclear Blast.
Doomed Heavy Metal, is a unique collection of songs from the quartet. Side A includes a brand new cover of Rainbow in the Dark as well as a pair of rare singles--A Conversation with Death from the bands 7 split with SPIRIT ADRIFT and Empty Throne from the Decibel Magazine Flexi Series. Side B highlights the power and emotional intensity the group wields onstage with a selection of live recordings from 2018s Two Nights of Doomed Heavy Metal showcasing one song from each of KHEMMIS albums.
The band comments: "As lifelong fans of ZZ TOP, Fandango has been a consistent source of inspiration for the four of us. The combination of high-octane live cuts and rare studio recordings make the release stand out in the bands discography. In that tradition, we are thrilled to announce Doomed Heavy Metal. This mini-album is similarly unique, combining sought-after singles and live cuts together on one record. Weve topped it all off with a newly recorded version of DIO's immortal 'Rainbow in the Dark.' For those who have clamored for the rerelease of the long out of print Empty Throne and Conversation with Death, your calls have been answered. We hope new and old fans alike will pick up the album, pour a tall glass of their favorite beverage, and party with us!"
