Our Take
Our Take
KHANATE's latest album, "To Be Cruel," is a sonic onslaught of epic proportions. This record is not for the faint of heart, as it delves deep into the dark and twisted corners of the human psyche.
From the opening track, "Pieces of Quiet," to the haunting closer, "Every God, Risen," KHANATE delivers a relentless barrage of noise and aggression. At times it feels like being trapped in a metal workshop during a thunderstorm, with the sound of crashing drums and screaming guitars enveloping you from all sides.
Vocalist Alan Dubin's guttural growls and shrieks add an extra layer of intensity to the already chaotic mix. His delivery is raw and unapologetic, cutting through the cacophony like a sharp knife through butter.
The album's production is as heavy as a sack of bricks, with every instrument and vocal track hitting you like a ton of bricks. The guitars are razor-sharp, the drums are thunderous, and the bass is as thick as molasses.
"To Be Cruel" is not an easy listen, but it rewards those brave enough to venture into its murky depths. If you're a fan of extreme music that pushes boundaries and challenges conventions, then this album is a must-listen. Just make sure to buckle up and hold on tight, because KHANATE is not here to hold your hand.
