The origins of KEMAKIL go right back to 1988 but the band as it is was formed in the UK by original guitarist ROB DURRANT and CHRIS STOCKDALE in 2007. In the cold damp evenings of October that year,an album's worth of material was recorded at Rob's house and became the demo 'Gondolas On The Styx'. 2008 saw AARON BOAST(drums) and HAYDN MORGANS(bass) join the band and after successful shows in Ipswich and London,the 'Blood Removal Machines' EP was recorded at Punch Studios in Ipswich(December 2009). 2012 Haydn leaves the band but is featured on the album recorded at HVR Studios just outside Ipswich. Released in May 2013. TIM FRANKLIN comes into the band on bass guitar. Tim's first recording with the band is the 'The Shard' EP 2014. The EP hints at a more experimental sound with a definite Voivod influence and a usage of Blues references to perhaps open doors to wider musical horizons in the future. 2015 Sue Clark joins the band. Sue was also a member of Fallen Humanity, alongside Tim. She features on the latest recordings and new material is in the works.
