Khanate -- Things Viral


Slow, tortured, misanthropic doomsludge measured not in beats-per-minute but minutes-per-beat. Some of the most bleak and tormented vocals you're ever likely to hear, by the same guy who sang for Old Lady Drivers way back when. He manages to make the line "I did this for you" into the creepiest thing you've ever heard. What exactly did he do, I wonder? It couldn't have been a nice thing, that's for sure.

Also featuring James Plotkin and Stephen O'Malley, of whom you probably have heard. I can't explain why it feels so good to listen to something so depressed and depressing and grim (but not frostbitten). It just does.
