From Denver, Colorado, a city with rich and varied music cultures, there comes a band known as Kamru, led by Jason Kleim and Ashwin Prasad. Kamru’s unique blend of metal, gothic, and heavy rock has captivated fans who seek music that explores deep, dark, and reflective themes.
How can we describe the music? Well, the band’s music is a deep and immersive mix of metal, gothic, and heavy rock that engages and challenges us. Often described as doom metal, their songs are slow-paced and lengthy, averaging 6-7 minutes each, taking you on a journey into the depths of the psyche.
Their visual identity also worth mentioning as it has a retro and dark aesthetic that has its roots in the ‘60s to‘70s era. This blend of sound and imagery sets them apart, as they are offering unique experiences that thrive on both musical and visual storytelling.
Kamru entered the doom metal world in 2022 releasing their self-titled album “Kosmic Attunement to the Malevolent Rites of the Universe.” The album soon became popular among followers, contributing to its fan base rise. They performed at festivals in Texas, did a short tour around Southwest America for some time and have scheduled more shows later this year.
Kamru’s music was sort of like that of Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Electric Wizard, Pallbearer, or Windhand. However, Kamru is special in that while all these influences can be heard in their sound, they offer some new thoughts about doom metal themes.
“Kosmic Attunement to the Malevolent Rites of the Universe” reflects their artistic vision. This six-track opus explores occult themes, prompting moments of existential reflections and questions and leading listeners to unfamiliar grounds with each track.
The first track, “Penumbral Litany,” on the album sets an eerie tone with its unsettling chants and slowly builds a haunting atmosphere. Then, tracks like “Hexxer” and “Dark Rider” further engross audiences in the mysterious world of Kamru. Clean melodies blend perfectly with the gloomy instrumentals to create an engaging contrast that can simultaneously be both entrancing and intimidating. This fascinating dualism is what defines Kamru’s music that makes every song sound like an excursion through unknown shady worlds. Consequently, eerie tunes fused with brooding rhythms throughout the album leave listeners enthralled for an unforgettable time spent on listening to this unique piece of art.
Kamru is more than just music. If you check their Instagram, you’ll see various eye-catching visuals, while their YouTube channel contains retro horror-like video that keep one in this dark universe. Another interesting aspect of Kamru’s activity is its merchandise line. Check out those designs. You’ll see captivating drawings showcasing the band’s ethos.
