is amazing... i've always found doom-drone/doom-metal (Ã la SunnO)))) interesting, but this one band really takes it to another level. while Boris for example (which i love just as much) takes doom-drone and combines it with other genres to make one-track masterpieces evolving/travelling through different sonic landscapes like -Feedbacker- or Flood, Khanate amplifies the gloomy aspect of doom-metal to impressive proportions... extremely slow, heavy, and dismal. with one of the best "metal" voices to my knowledge as well - not really "cavernous" but as "evil"-sounding as possible. i find it impossible listen to it casually - breathtaking, really powerful. someone described this music as "the end of the world" - it summarizes pretty well. they have two albums released so far, the first one (self-titled) being more drone-y and the second (Things Viral) more "destructured"... listening to the second one right now, both are astonishing. you can download a track here, from the first album: |

I've heard a couple of things so far. I'm not sure where I stand on this whole genre really (sludgecore, doom, whatever) I remember hearing a track on Peel ages ago and thinking it was awesome, but it was not really metal, it was more just really dark ambient and it was fantastic. I think I remember some people in the chatroom calling it 'the sound of the world ending' and I agree with it. I wish I could find the name of that one. It had no vocals btw. |

no lyrics? might be "Touching Koroviev" ... it's the only instrumental track off the two albums on CD. it's the shortest also, only four minutes (all the others are at least 9 minutes long.) ...but the Things Viral vinyl has different tracks than the CD, so it might be one of them as well... |

clint: you're welcome : ) but if you download Touching Koroviev, get the full album while you're at it... it's worth it. chambre noire: yes, i've heard of them - even that SunnO))) was an Earth tribute band. haven't got an album yes, but i'll get more interested in them for sure... |

Earth - 2 is their darkest opus, 15 and 30 minute long tracks with just down-tuned guitars and dark droney riffs.. |

i'm almost positive that sleep and khanate could just be called "doom". doom being this slow, dark, downer metal... when i think of droney, experimental metal, i would then think of earth and sunn o))). anyway, this old track is really great. i should get their new record... |

4:38 in the AM - listening to "Things Viral" now for the second time. Woke up drunk, so I thought it would be a good idea to finish off the rest of my beers and listen to Khanate. Listen, I'm a huge fan of early SWANS, but this shit is pretty cool. Anyway, they are playing live in a few weeks here; so I'll go see them. Max Stirner - "The Ego and It's Own". Anyone interested in philosophical extremes may dig that book. Fuck your God. |
