Die modern angehauchten Epic-Doomer KHEMMIS zeigen vorab ihr Animationsvideo zum Track ‘House Of Cadmus’, der sich auf ihrem im November erscheinenden vierten Album “Deceiver“ findet.
Sänger und Gitarrist Phil Pendergast sagt über den neuen Song:
“’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 catalog. 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.“

Lyrics:
Bloodline fallacies
Wreathe the soul that I call who I am
Lead on while ravens watch
Hungrily eyeing their prey
In a forest drenched in haze
Endlessly barring my way
Threads become stained
Weaving thoughts into blades
That cry for release in the night
A protector’s song
By the bard of barbs
Damning each breath that we take
The curse in my veins
[Hutcherson Solo]
This is the spectre that crawls through my dreams
Blasphemy born in my marrow
A lineage broken and torn at the seams
Now stripped down and chained
I burn the remains
Threads become stained
Weaving thoughts into blades
That cry for release in the night
They’re a jailor’s song
Of abuse in its arms
And fears that I’m bound to this fate
The curse in my veins
I repent
I see the machinations of torment glowing beneath the moon
With mouths of broken glass they rend my flesh and herald my doom
Cleave the body from my former
Render the past incomplete
I would end this to disown it
Leave it bleeding by the sea
