Khemmis have postponed their spring European tour with Iron Walrus due to the coronavirus pandemic. The band commented:
“Our upcoming trek across the pond with IRON WALRUS has, unsurprisingly, been postponed. We WILL be back in Europe before the end of the year (assuming life returns to a normal-ish state in the coming months). Stay tuned for updates and as always, thank you for the support!”

The band said the following:
“We are honored and excited to join the Nuclear Blast roster alongside so many legendary artists. Endless thanks to Monte Conner, Mark Palmer, Yorck Eysel and the rest of the amazing team at Nuclear Blast for sharing in our vision for the future.
We also send our unending gratitude to Dave Adelson of 20 Buck Spin, who not only took a chance on us when he released Absolution in 2015 but also became a true friend and brother to us over the last few years. Finally, thanks to everyone who has supported us by seeing us live, snagging a shirt, and/or picking up a CD or LP. Without all of you, none of this would be possible. We’ve got some very exciting announcements about tours, festivals, and new music coming soon. Cheers!”
