Khanate - To Be Cruel - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Khanate's self titled debut (2001) has all the pleasant ambiance of a plane crash site, a bleak urban waste of mangled and torn metal beams and hissed alarms. When Khanate first issued instructions to the void in 2001, the band was embraced as the next iteration of guitarist Stephen O'Malley's tube-cracking forays into amplifier variance; a fascinating further step of vocalist Alan Dubin and low-frequency shifter James Plotkin's space charts; and a warning forthe crawling-pace hammers of Tim Wyskida's drums. But Khanate was not preaching of coming doom or offering emotional catharsis. The band was totally post-dread. The worst had already happened, and would continue to happen, over and over. The 5 songs on Khanate sound like an Inchorchestrated root canalInch (Julian Cope). Album Tracks 1. Pieces of Quiet 2. Skin Coat 3. Torching Koroviev 4. Under Rotting Sky 5. No Joy

Originally a side project for members of outbreak, Cruel Hand has evolved from a band that never meant to tour into a band that has done three full US tours, a full European tour and is releasing their sophomore full-length. Combining early Metallica, Madball, and a crossover hardcore style that sounds like a modern Agnostic Front or DRI, Cruel Hand is set to show you that hardcore can be metal or metal can be hardcore.
