'Illusory Motion' will always hold a special place in my heart: standing next to the river, blazing up for the first time in weeks, with beautiful sunshine, back in my city after 13 years abroad, thinking "Yeah, this isn't so bad. Life is good." And now, while I listen to this song again for this review, I'm embraced by the same memories and atmosphere, as if transported back to that magical moment. If done right, stoner rock hits different. Obsidian One

Weedian presents a 56-track chronicle of Mexico's stoner metal and heavy psych scenes, from ’90s forefathers to contemporary wrecking crews. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2022
A truly epic saga told in clean vocals and death growls, wrapped up in death, black, power, and doom metal. There are no defaults here: genres and styles are just tools used to convey the desired mood, and Khemmis interchanges them effortlessly and with purpose. Somehow, it’s incredibly cohesive and compelling. Plus, the artwork is absolutely SICK. daemoncline
