Khemmis release new music video for ‘House Of Cadmus’

KHEMMIS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track House Of Cadmus, is taken from the American doom metal band’s upcoming new album, Deceiver, which is scheduled to be released in November this year.

The new song’s accompanying animated music video was created by Romanian visual artist Costin Chioreanu [CARCASS, AT THE GATES].

Speaking about the new song, vocalist/guitarist Phil Pendergast says, House of Cadmus represents the lowest emotional point on Deceiver. In it, we explore the seat of our deepest fears, the anchors that we drag behind ourselves for our entire lives. It is also maybe the most important song for me, personally, in our entire catalogue. With it, I cut away the chains that have long held me captive and offer an invitation for everyone who hears it to do the same.

We are all weighed down by some aspect of our lives: addiction, abuse, mental illness, fear, regret, and shame, to name a few. These traumas distort our views of ourselves, of each other, and of the world around us. But these are merely stories we tell ourselves, and no matter how all-encompassing they may feel, these stories cannot define us.”

Deceiver is set for release on November 19th via Nuclear Blast Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here
