Биография

Kemerov come from Serres, a city in northern Greece, and came into existence in 2013 by Matt Karampalios and Giorgos Tsapkinis, who wanted to incorporate old-school deathmetal philosophy, Black Sabbath riffology and punk attitude altogether, with their favourite bands being Entombed, Cathedral and Turbonegro, among others. The first output wasn’t made until 2015 though, when brothers Tasos and Spiros Diamantidis joined and made the band complete for the first time. The s/t debut EP caused quite a stir within death ‘n’ roll circles everywhere, while Kemerov never missed a chance to play live, at times supporting huge names like Rotting Christ, Septicflesh, Sodom, Jucifer. In January 2017, debut album “FMKD” was released, establishing the band and their sound. After Giorgos’ departure, Kemerov went on for an extensive greek tour with replacement guitarists, until 2018 when Giorgos Lezkidis joined as a permanent member. With this new lineup, Kemerov released their single "Black Right Hands / Anti-Hero Tights" in 2020 showcasing their renewed and explosive death 'n' roll sound, while their sophomore album "Anti-Hero" is out on December 17th, 2021.
