Modern doom legends Khemmis & Spirit Adrift will be releasing a split 7" called Fraught With Peril on June 16 via War Crime Recordings, and it's not quite new music from both the bands. The bands are covering Southern folk tracks in their usual style, with Khemmis covering "A Conversation with Death" and Spirit Adrift taking on "Man of Constant Sorrow."
Doomed rock ‘n’ rollers Khemmis and psychedelic desert riffers Spirit Adrift have joined forces for a tribute to Southern folk music in the form of a split 7” entitled Fraught with Peril. Khemmis has transformed “A Conversation with Death,” an early 20th-century Appalachian dirge, into a sludgy, sorrowful contemplation of mortality; meanwhile, Spirit Adrift’s interpretation of the classic “Man of Constant Sorrow” boasts soaring harmonies and Neil Young-inspired guitar leads.
Pre-order the split here, or snag the digital copy here. It'll be really interesting to hear what the bands do with the tracks, which you can check out below courtesy of MetalSucks.
