Khanate - Live @ WFMU

Live abject DOOM! With guitar strings tuned so low, you can hear them flapping against the fretboard, the lord of all things DOOM, Stephen O'Malley chugs out a four track set with his non-robed hell unit, Khanate. Unsure of the recording date, because I'm lazy like that. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWGGG!!!!!!!!!

A lot of music is billed as being dark and evil, but rarely does the feeling come through upon listening. Khanate is one of the few bands that truely conveys a feeling of malice, an unsettling sense of unease pervades their work. The pairing of Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), KTL, Aethenor, Thorr's Hammer)'s guitar and Alan Dubin (of Old, along with bassist James Plotkin)'s seriously disturbing "vokills" is genius. The drumming is suprisingly tight, considering the low BPM range of the material. This is what hoardes of black metal bands wish they could be... dark, depressing, and malicious... all at sub-Melvins tempo.

Highly recommended.
