Bio
.. .................................................. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .... .... .. .... .. .......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .................. .. .... .. .... .. .. .... .... .. .. After three years of silence Khoma finally surface. Late august 2009 Khoma began the recording of their third album, the follow-up to 2006 highly acclaimed “The Second Wave”. The new album - A final storm - will be released on the 14:th of April 2010. .. .. Khoma was born in Umeå 2003, melding the aggression of the long established local hardcore scene and the burgeoning more diverse and emotive pop scene. A few months in, things were beginning to take off. A limited 1000-disc run of the debut album ‘Tsunami’ was released and quickly sold out. It was reprinted and, pretty much instantly, sold out again. The band was taken by surprise by the overwhelming response and signed with a management company to enable them to keep focusing on the music, rather than the business. .. .. In 2006, without having signed a record deal, Khoma started working on their second album. The pre-production immediately caught the eyes of several labels, Scandinavian, European and American. In 2005 Khoma signed with Roadrunner Records (home of Khoma anti-thesis like Slipknot, Nickelback, Sepultura, Machine Head and more), giving the band the financial possibilities of fully explore their musical vision. .. .. The result became ‘The second wave’, a harsh, emotional, and intense mixture of sweeping melodies and roaring guitars. In the bands home country, Sweden, reviewers collectively voted it “best album of 2006” and in Europe critics hailed the newcomers. The members of Khoma meet the phenomenal response with gratitude, but had no real intention of using the situation to try and propel the band to higher levels. - Khoma was, and still is, about the creative process, our collective effort. Our main concern has always been writing music, explains Jämte. - Khoma is a breathing space where different personalities and musical styles fuse, Jämte elaborates. We..re not in this to ‘make it’, we just want to be able to create and fully explore the possibilities and limitation of this collective. We have a vision of creating heavy music that reflects more feelings than just sheer aggression, sometimes whispering can be more powerful than screaming. .. .. After a few intense and intimate concerts and festivals in 2006 and early 2007, Khoma disappeared. The webpage shut down, no new messages were posted on the internet and no concerts were held. Almost three years of silence followed, and followers began thinking Khoma has split up without any notice. .. .. - We have never stopped writing music or playing together, says Jämte. We just felt we wanted to concentrate our energy on writing. During the Roadrunner-era a lot of our time was spent on administration, planning and talking about what to do next. We wanted to focus solely on creating and playing music, and that..s what we have done. .. .. 2009 Khoma decided it was time to surface, and also regroup. The experience with international labels, agents and managements had convinced the members to move their entire setup closer, back to Sweden. .. .. - We wanted to work with friends, not companies. Luckily Anders Fridén (In Flames) approached us, wanting Khoma to be the first band on their new label/management Selective Notes. Their ideas reflected a lot of what we had been thinking about during the last years, so we definitely wanted to give it a go, says Jämte. .. .. In late august 2009 Khoma entered the studio to record their third album, “A final storm”. The release date for Scandinavia is set to April the 14th. Around the same time as the release of the new album, Khoma will also lunch their new web page.
