Hello to all our friends out there! Just two more weeks until the release of THEM's 3rd album "Return To Hemmersmoor" comes out on Steamhammer Records Oct 30th, 2020! Pre-order bundles can be found HERE.

• How does working with an international act differ than working with band members all local: I think it’s a great way to keep things fresh, and energetic. It’s always exciting to get together to rehearse, because it means we are touring, haha. It also helps a lot that everyone does their homework and shows up ready to go.
• Where do you see THEM’a direction going: Each album has a very unique sound and feel, but I think that as long as we maintain the balance and versatility of songs, we’ll keep bringing the heavy. Also, standard answer: darker, heavier, fastest, best record we’ve ever done
• Hopes for 2021: Hitting ‘them’ stages again!

With the next THEM Lyric/Performance Video nearing the horizon, we decided to tell you all a little bit about each member and post a snapshot taken directly from the video shoot.
