Khanate, formed in New York in 2000 is a super-doom metal project (Melvins, Earth, Boris) launched by the unlikely couple of bassist James Plotkin and guitarist Stephen O'Malley (also in Sunn O), with O.L.D.'s hysterical vocalist Alan Dubin and Blind Idiot God's brutal drummer Tim Wyskida. • The screeching style of vocalist Alan Dubins, reminiscent of the young David Yow, highlights the four expressionistic psychodramas of Things Viral (Southern Lord, 2003 - Daymare, 2007). The sparse soundscape of Commuted (19:15), that abandons the trademark distortions and drones for a series of isolated beats, enhances the highly emotional show of the vocalist. When the guitars finally join the drums, the mood has already been radicalized. The guitars, in fact, mostly drop out for the last seven minutes, when the voice has died away and there is literally nothing more to say. Fields (19:53) operates the other way around: it takes seven minutes for the drums to appear, while the voice has been hiding behind the thundering guitar. For eleven minutes the voice is just the distant echo of a shriek. Then it rises in all its ugliness and vulgarity. A Shakespeare soliloquy couldn't be more harrowing. Extreme guitar and bass noises flow out of Too Close Enough to Touch (11:03), perhaps to express the extreme tension inside the mind of the speaker. As the sounds become more and more abstract, one can feel the mental collapse of the protagonist. By comparison, the relatively straight-forward doom-metal agony Dead (9:30) feels like a moment of relief. • This album transfers Khanate's art from the realm of music to the realm of psychology. Khanate's mission is not so much about reforming or revolutionizing doom metal as about adding a new dimension to recitation, meditation and storytelling in music. • Source: https://www.scaruffi.com/vol7/khanate.html • Tracklist: • • Disc 1: • Commuted (0:00) • Fields (19:13) • Dead (39:04) • Too Close Enough To Touch (48:32) • Disc 2: • 2-1 Reh / Improv 1103 - 59:43 • 2-2 No Joy (Remix) - 1:03:03 • 2-3 Commuted (Coda) - 1:15:08 • • Genre: Doom / Drone / Sludgecore • Year of disk release: 2006 • Disc producer: Japan • Audio codec: APE • Rip type: image+.cue • Audio bitrate: lossless
