Khanate (band)
Khanate is an American drone doom supergroup that brought together James Plotkin and Alan Dubin, two members of the defunct band OLD, as well as Tim Wyskida of Blind Idiot God and Manbyrd and Stephen O'Malley of Burning Witch and Sunn O))). Keeping some similarity with O'Malley's previous band Burning Witch, Khanate produces songs that usually exceeded the 10-minute mark, characterized by extremely slow tempos, harsh layers of feedback, and vocalist Alan Dubin's torturous shrieking. On September 24, 2006, Khanate split up, with Plotkin stating that the "lack of commitment from certain members" led to the split. In the January/February 2009 issue of ''Rock-A-Rolla'' magazine, vocalist Alan Dubin stated: "We had a few festival offers hatsparked some talk of a reunion but they didn't pan out in the end." He went on to say, "I highly doubt a reunion will happen." On May 19, 2023, the band released a surprise album titled ''To Be Cruel'' digitally and announced preorders fo ...
