He\u2019s a french musician who fell in metal in 1991 when Metallica\u2019s \u201cBlack Album\u201d of came out. Immediately inspired he decided to listen and learn from the entire 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s thrash and death metal scene. Playing guitar was a revelation and he started to learn on his own mostly influenced by James Hetfield and his down picking accuracy.<\/p>\n

However, after years of practicing and accumulating tons of riffs and songs, he decided to create his band \u201cKHASM\u201d in 2015. One year later, he\u2019s first 4 title EP \u201cFenris\u201d came out. That effort was acclaimed as a perfect combination of \u201cOld-school\u201d vibes with modern influences of thrash, death and hardcore band such Feared, Hatebreed or Hatesphere.<\/p>\n

The music was so impressive that Per Nilsson (Scar Symmetry) agreed to play an awesome solo on the song \u201cNightwatch\u201d.<\/p>\n

All this gave the band the opportunity to open for bands such the french death-metal pioneers CRUSHER, and above all a few great international bands such EXODUS, KRISIUN, GRUESOME, DARK FUNERAL or ANAAL NATHRAKH.<\/p>\n

As their former drummer had left to go his own way, I decided to work on the album tracks with the well-known drummer, Kevin Talley. I gave him all the liberty needed to give the songs his own inspiration coupled with his awesome playing style. The band also had the great honor to have a guest on one song, Jeff Waters of the Canadian band ANNIHILATOR , who plays one awesome guitar solo!<\/p>\n

The album called \u201cTrinity\u201d was mixed & mastered by Ronnie Bj\u00f6rnst\u00f6rm at The Enhanced Audio Productions studio in Sweden. Our first full album contains 9 songs full of the tortured \u201cHardcore\u201d and dark \u201cDeath-Metal\u201d that we are known for. This is a seriously heavy, juggernaut of a sound. No compromise, no bull-shit!<\/p>\n

We have been signed by the label SLIPTRICK RECORDS who released the album on May 15th 2018.<\/p>\n
