Metal Monday XXXV - Beyond The Door

10/17/2016

A doomed life is a good life for a metalhead. Khemmis brings a second punch with the power and experience of one of the greatest sequels of anything, "The Empire Strikes Back." With Absolution being the beginning, "A New Hope" for Doom Metal, Hunted enters with a darker length and wisdom, structured to sunder your soul and drag it through a cursed journey. Too new for lyrics, this album has already been a welcome addition to my collection, releasing completely in the weeks to follow. Listen to this new piece and let Khemmis darken your spiritual doorstep, ushering you into a realm of sorrow and splendor.

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
