Description
Khanate (Southern Lord, 2002 - Daymare, 2007), recorded in may 2001, contains only five tracks, of which four are lengthy hypnotic jams. Pieces of Quiet (13.22) juxtaposes Dubin's sneering shrieks and O'Malley's lugubrious feedback and riffs over the carpet of Wyskida's slow and heavy beats. After five minutes of the same formula, Skin Coat (9.36) plunges into a more introverted mood. Hell appears in Under Rotting Sky (18.18) when a massive sustained distortion of guitar and bass collides with echoes of a voice being devoured alive. The recitation that follows is visceral as usual, but this time the grandiloquent duet of guitar and drums has the function not to propel it but to bury it again into the same black hole. No Joy (11.32) seems to close the lid of the coffin, a funereal litany that turns into a scream that fades away, the sound of decomposing flesh, while the martial pace of the instruments evokes church bells.
Please note the vinyl version only has four tracks, the missing song being No Joy which was released on the No Joy 12" from Load Records, albeit remixed by James Plotkin (also for sale from me).
220 gram Czech vinyl.
Listened to once. Cover has a slight two inch split at top and is bent a little on the upper right hand corner (see photo). Vinyl in near-mint condition.
