Tickets are on sale here. In the lead up to the band’s Roadburn 2024 appearance, Khanate shared: “As a collective, Khanate has been silent during our dormancy, but now we will get loud; very loud. We’ll be returning to the stage to explore tension and the elasticity of time. Get dead.” Reviews from the event noted the band’s “powerful doom intensity,” their “glacial riffs and unyielding venomous tide of deconstructed doom,” and their “immaculate” sound with “new highs and lows of sonic extremism.”
To Be Cruel, the band’s 5th album and first in 14 years, arrived in 2023 via Sacred Bones Records. “The cramped corner of hell that Khanate takes the listener to, sonically and psychologically, is way beyond doom. It’s doom as a forgone conclusion…”
