19 years. Today marks 19 years to the date of the first HEMI practice. Nearly two decades of countless memories, amazing successes, highs & lows, incredible amounts of laughs, stories that will last a lifetime and overall, fun. Our entire run has represented an independent and #DIY attitude of making music and putting ourselves out there. It is with so much pride that we stand here today at 19 with the position we have been able to carve out for ourselves and a touch all across the world. Thank you all for being a part of this awesome ride. The support of our fans, friends, family, and especially one another has kept this train moving for so long with one of the strongest never say die attitudes we are proud represent. Also a huge thank you to everyone promoter, blog, magazine, venue, radio station, television station, agent, photographer, producer, engineer, former member and manager we have ever worked with. We couldn’t have done this without you. As we look ahead to #HEMI20, we are beyond excited for the milestones we have planned. Here’s to many many more! Much love, @scratchnshred, @gupsdrums, @trentzuberi, @smturnbull30 📸: @fantommodephotography #HEMI #HEMIMUSIC #HEMIHistory #anniversary #birthday #happybirthday #19years #19yearsold #memories #metal #heavymetal #chicago #independent #independentartist #metalfamily #metalhead #metalband #heavymetalhistory #musichistory #metalphotography (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfH3o7aJuOb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
