KHANATE - Khanate · WHITE 2LP

White double-vinyl.

Background information about 'Khanate'

The return of Khanate after a 14-year silence isn't just a comeback – it's a seismic event in the world of extreme metal. This self-titled opus stands as a monument to the band's uncompromising vision, delivering five tracks of crushing, glacial doom that redefine the boundaries of heaviness. From the opening moments of "Pieces of Quiet", the quartet demonstrates why they remain the undisputed masters of ultra-slow, ultra-heavy composition. Each note hangs in the air like a death knell, building tension with surgical precision.

The album's power lies not in speed or technicality, but in its ability to create overwhelming atmosphere through minimalism. "Torching Koroviev" and "Under Rotting Sky" showcase the band's evolution – more refined yet equally devastating. Stephen O'Malley's guitar work creates walls of distortion that feel like tectonic plates shifting, while the rhythm section provides an anchor in the storm of feedback and drone.
