Debuut uit 2001. Invloedrijke heavy avant-garde supergroep. Destijds op sleeptouw genomen door buizenversterker magiër Stephen O’Malley (Sunn0))) met James Plotkin en leden van OLD en Blind Idiot God. But Khanate was not preaching of coming doom or offering emotional catharsis. The band was totally post-dread. The worst had already happened, and would continue to happen, over and over. The 5 songs on Khanate sound like an “orchestrated root canal”. Referenties: Sunn O))), Swans, Godflesh, Neurosis, Boris, Earth, Om, Corrupted, Eyehategod.
