The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Formed in 2012 in Denver USA, doomed heavy metal outfit KHEMMIS has released a body of work that paints a unique portrait of the human condition, weaving together influences from all corners of the metal music world. They transcend the genre boundaries of traditional doom metal with their elegant yet dramatic compositions and diverse influences.

Debut record Absolution earned the group outright critical praise from the underground, including a place on Decibel’s "Top 40 Albums of the Year" list. Hunted broke down even more barriers, earning KHEMMIS widespread recognition. The record received glowing reviews at MetalSucks, Metal Injection and Pitchfork, and a spot in Rolling Stone's "20 Best Metal Albums of 2016" list and Decibel’s highly sought-after "Album of the Year" accolade. Few bands out there can boast about being compared to the likes of THIN LIZZY, ZZ TOP, PARADISE LOST, MY DYING BRIDE and JUDAS PRIEST.
