Verehrte Edelmetaller, der Bandname KIMAERA klingt schon mal mysteriös, der Albumtitel "The Harbinger Of Doom" führt hingegen halbwegs in die korrekte Richtung. Die Libanesen (!) KIMAERA stehen für die dunkle, schwere Seite im Metal und gelten inzwischen als die Botschafter orientalischer Doom-Klänge.

EXHUMED Batters Senses With New Track/Video Premiere At Bloody Disgusting
West Coast ministers of death grind supremacy, EXHUMED, are pleased to clutch collective throats with a video of “Coins Upon The Eyes” courtesy of Bloody Disgusting. The debilitating tune comes by way of the band’s soon-to-be detonated Necrocacy full-length. A ten-track bloodbath of audio sickness doused with some of their most instrumentally shredding and lyrically devouring work to date, Necrocacy is clearly EXHUMED’s political manifesto for a new dark day.
