| | southern lord press release... |
| like a cement mixer slowly filling the room as you read this web page, khanate belches another discharge of lung stopping power. not happy music, but total music. even more sparse than their first record on southern lord, this boils doom down to the individual atoms. slow and deliberate, it paints the room the room in coal dust choking all in its path. necessary and essential for those picking up the pieces from similarly minded projects from sludge captains like the melvins, earth and boris. buy this and live forever with the knowledge of the gods!
the end of october brings their second full length, “things viral”, via southern lord. “things viral” showcases khanate at their peak. the chemistry of the players has intensified into something otherworldly. with extremely advanced songwriting mixed with the unusual trademark khanate production, khanate has focused their attention on extreme dynamics and the “space between notes” on this album. its difficult to pinpoint reference points when talking about khanate, but if needed:
imagine bon scott-era ac/dc puked through a qualude binge, captured in the studio by steve albini. laugh while you can because afer carefully ingesting this album, chronic depression will set in. |
