Khanate

I started listening to Khanate years ago after a friend of mine dragged me to a show they were playing at the Ottobar with Earthride and maybe like one or two other bands. At the time I liked them ok, but as I kept listening to them they started to grow on me as with the rest of the super-slow droning doom metal I listen to, like Sunn O))), Catacombs, and my personal friends Oak. They're a very unusual band that really kind of makes you sit back and think, even though your reasons for doing so don't quite seem apparent. Khanate produces beautiful music that really drives itself deep into your very being, whether through evoking certain emotions or just from the bass.

Here's a video of the song "Dead" from their album "Things Viral." It's a shame it's about half the length of the actual song.
