This year marked the 19th year of HEMI as an active band! We have been through it all and seen it twice and are so grateful to be where we are today. Trials and tribulations aside, its been one hell of a ride for the HEMI family and we now look forward to #HEMI20, which Trent himself has said he plans on throwing a major party for! As we do every year, we want to thank all of our former members for being a part of this wonderful ride, each has a special part in our history and helped get us to where the band is today. Most of all we want to thank the fans for everything. Without the love and support from our amazing fans around the world we could have never have had the sheer heart to wake up every day and continue to do this so from all of us, we thank you all! - Trent, Gup, Tim, and Sean
EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATIONS
ARTWORK
We recently began working with famed artist, Juan "Of the Dead" Ortiz on some exclusive artwork to be released as part of the HEMI merchandise line and we couldn't be more excited! Juan's work has been featured on album covers across the world as well as merchandise for every major professional wrestling company in the world today including WWE, AEW, IMPACT Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and more! As part of the collaboration series he is creating an individual piece depicting each song from our Avalon album and eventually working backwards to our Undivided Intentions record. Thus far we have released the prints for the songs Darkhorse, Death Wizard, and The Final Deletion with t-shirts exclusively available at BELOW THE COLLAR!
PHOTOGRAPHY
We have teamed up with Fantom Mode Photography lead by our dear friend
and one of the greatest drummers in the industry today, Jason Caruana
(Scarsin, Her Worst Nightmare) to be our official photographer for upcoming
band photoshoots. Jason recently left Shattered Lens Media to focus solely
on Fantom Mode and HEMI will be an exclusive client this year.
WRITING
We are hard at work getting ready to write the next album! Historically we have
always focused our writing for the end of the year so as soon as we knock out
the Summer and Fall shows we are set to buckle down in the studio to write the
next record and get that out! Stay tuned for updates as we piece it together
over the coming months.
