Khoma is a Swedish (post)rock band. Hailing from Umeå, home town to an array of Swedish talent (Cult of Luna, Refused, Meshuggah, International Noise Conspiracy etc), the seeds of Khoma were sown over a decade ago while the three founding members of the band Jan Jämte, Fredrik Kihlberg and Johannes Persson were all still at college together. Melding the aggression of the long established local hardcore scene with the burgeoning, more diverse pop scene, Khoma was born.

A few months in, things were beginning to take off for the band. A limited 1000-disc run of the debut album ‘Tsunami’ was released and quickly sold out. It was reprinted and, pretty much instantly, sold out again. The band was taken by surprise by the phenomenal response and signed with a management company to enable them to keep focusing on the music, rather than the business.

Without having signed a record deal, Khoma started to work on the follow-up to ‘Tsunami’. It soon became obvious that they had to do something about the line-up. As Khoma began as a side project, members often were scattered around the globe making it almost impossible to play live. The members didn’t even consider themselves a real band, merely a project filling a musical void, something created because of a need to play together. Khoma decided to create two faces: one that writes, rehearses, and records songs and another that gathers to play live.

    I found A Final Storm to be kind of a letdown after the greatness of The Second Wave.
