Khanate

Musical Group

Khanate is an American experimental/drone doom band formed by Stephen O'Malley, James Plotkin, Tim Wyskida and Alan Dubin. They released the studio albums Khanate (2001), Things Viral (2003), Capture & Release (2005) and Clean Hands Go Foul (2009).

Members have been involved in projects cited in the reviews: Stephen O'Malley (Burning Witch, Sunn O))), Tim Wyskida (Blind Idiot God).

DeBaser's reviews praise Khanate's extreme, ultra-slow approach that foregrounds texture, silence and Alan Dubin's tortured vocals. Their four main studio albums (2001–2009) are repeatedly described as challenging, heavy and uncompromising. Reviewers emphasize suspension, discontinuity and an atmosphere of fear or despair.

For:Fans of drone, doom, experimental and extreme music; adventurous listeners seeking challenging albums.

 Their music is slow, but it is not a celebration of slowness.

 A brief description can be crystallized in this formula: dimensional, extended surrealist riff-form!

 The Khanate are this, 4 guys, united to create one of the heaviest musics ever conceived, and now they are no more, this is the swan song, and they end here, with the last gasps, forever.
