They were first discovered by Russian label company Stygian Crypt Productions, after KIMAERA released its self produced single ‘God’s Wrath’ in 2004. The powerful single received very positive feedback, which in turn opened the way for the worldwide release of their debut album ‘Ebony Veiled’ in 2006. Due to the innovative interplay of Doom, Death & Oriental metal elements contained within one album, ‘Ebony Veiled’ was heralded by the press as “The doom metal discovery of the year”. Critics described it as “A true opus of beauty and sadness”.
