    I've been a huge fan of Samuel Turner's covers and was so disappointed when this cover was revealed. Its just underwhelming for what have consistently been some of the sickest and unique album covers to date. Saw them last night, first night of their tour. Granted, they may need to warm up, but again, their performance felt underwhelming too. Some songs still hit hard, but it felt so orchestrated and performative. Like, you almost felt they had a scheduled time to do the leaning back to back guitar play moment.

    Having listened to the album, find myself agreeing with you that setting aside the first three songs that channel their inner Alter Bridge, the fourth song on is solid and worthy of listening to on rotation. 3 (maybe 3.5) of 5 skulls is a very fair assessment.

    Oh no way!

    My mom's bday is also July 4th.

    She's been asking me, from 900+ kms away what she should do for her 70th birthday…

    I'll tell her to tune in to Metal Comedy.

    I dug the first single. And the album is pretty solid IMO. But yeah. The cover art is horrible. Really don't understand what the thought or idea behind it was.

    Yeah, something fell off on my first listen. Cover, speed, amount of tracks, everything you've listed. I'll give it more, but I'm initially disappointed. Shame.

    After 1 Listen: Whelp, this is their worst album for sure. Big letdown
    After 2 Listens: I think they are trying to tap into the Mastodon market except they aren't as good of songwriters as Mastodon and shouldn't try to be. It's not going to happen.
    After 3 Listens: Ok, they tried some things and tracks 4-8 are still great. Grower album. I think it's better than their last album.

    This was my first Khemmis album. I really like it overall, enough that I bought a physical copy. I think the entire album is good, but agree that it gets much better from Beneath The Scythe forward. I really like the album art, but I wasn't familiar with the previous album covers. Beneath The Scythe is a great song, total banger.

    These guys have always seemed very middle-of-the-road to me. I always like what I hear but have no desire to hear it again. Nothing sticks in my head. I'll skip on picking up this one just like I have everything else they have done. Thanks for the review though, Blayne!

    As for the music, I’ve found this album to be a grower. I’ve been a huge fan of them since the beginning, and although I found Deceiver to be a very strong album, they were feeling too bound by their slower doom leanings. I actually really appreciate them mixing things up. The musicianship is top notch they’ve just gotten better at their instruments. Ultimately I disagree pretty strongly with Blayne on this one. But I still love him. Hail!

    I'm a big fan of Khemmis, but this is also my least favorite album they've done. It's not bad, just my least favorite. Feels less doomy and missing more of the guitarists harsh vocals.
