"One of the biggest surprises at this year’s Milwaukee Metalfest(2001)"
– Agnes Denvir, Transitmag(Switzerland)
"Based on the band's real somberly evil keyboard metal, a lot of people telling me that the band has improved AND that the Toad's Place crew had to mop up pools of 'blood' from the stage - I'm pissed I missed the show!!!"
-Craig Gilbert(New Haven Advocate)
"Khasm is like a primitive version of Mundanus Imperium's cosmic metal, leaning more into the Black metal eclipse. The compositions switch from stellar keyboard movements to Death/Black metal, which in my eyes gets kudos for experimentation. The real magic of Khasm's vision is "Burning in Agony". On this song the keyboard and guitar interplay is simply mesmerizing. Khasm could easily land a label deal with such standards"
- Chris Dick - Eclipse Magzine(Michigan, USA)
"Khasm has obviously been influenced by the likes of Cradle of Filth and Moonspell. These guys are a very talented band with a long road ahead of them. When listening to this music you'll feel like you're lost somewhere in the dark. I think you'll appreciate what Khasm is doing because most bands today wouldn't even think about playing this kind of music, and the ones that do can't pull it off very well..."
- Glenn Watson(Glenn's Metal Domain)
"Khasm has balls. Big ones. This is just stuff that you don't do anymore - yet somehow they're pulling it off. What the hell can these guys be thinking? This is the real sh*t. This is the stuff from the 80's that you either loved, or were embarassed to admit that you loved. Ominous synths and ripping guitars set the mood for the CD, and the vocals are as campy as they are serious. You simply have to love it. The bottom line is: when the CD is over, you know what they were going for, and you enjoyed the ride."
-Keith Wilkinson(CTMUSIC.COM)

| A sign of what has now come to be! Although not the final mix, this track is the very first recording to feature the current lineup, and appears in a slightly different version on "Dancing 'Round the Circle's End". "Mother" features vastly improved songwriting and production - AND showcases the dual-gender vocals of Jason the Overlord and Elizabeth the Muse, and has already cracked the MP3.com top-30 Gothic Metal charts several times. Theater of Tragedy and Lacuna Coil fans should find this territory at least a bit familiar! "Tempernae Aeturnae!!!" |

| One of the disc's heavier tracks, it still contains the atmospheric & melodic keyboards that Khasm is known for(and people pay lots of money to hear). This creation very much represents the roots of our musical offerings. Our early style of death/black-inspired vocals can be heard on this as well. |

| Ah! Our piece de Resistance! This 9-minute epic(which many say feels like 5...)ties all of everyone's favorite elements of Khasm together into one composition! It's all here: The slayer-esque drums, the melodic/hypnotic keyboard passages, male & female vocals, the thrash-tinged guitars, and of course: those angelic vocals which can only be summoned by Elizabeth herself. 'So mote it be...' |

| Still a fan favorite! Our following will probably never let us drop this from our live sets.If we had to choose one composition to embody this band, "Burning in Agony" would be it(because we are, after all...). As with many Khasm creations, this song contains intense diversity of passages. Once the main keyboard theme(which begins about halfway through the song...) assumes control of your being, it is then you will realize that you have fallen under the influence of our spellcraft....too late, of course.... |
