Khanate: Full Band Takeover on The Brian Turner Show May 14th

Anticipation is high for the first American dates of the reformed Khanate,  and in advance of their June 3rd show at Le Poisson Rouge, the entire band will be splitting up a full two-hour takeover of Brian Turner’s show on Wednesday, May 14th 4-6pm ET on East Village Radio  Khanate’s return to activity since a break in 2010 has also seen the release of To Be Cruel via Sacred Bones, another powerful document of the unit’s inimitable slow-crawl doom aesthetic in full swing. Tonal mayhem, crushing volume, suspension of sound punctuated by looming dread are all heightened by the scarifying screech of vocalist Alan Dubin (who has also recently paid visit to EVR’s Two Hours in Tongues for a visit, archived here.

For the takeover of Brian’s show on May 14th, Dubin (also a veteran of OLD and Gnaw) returns to program selected favorites along with cohorts Stephen O’Malley (Sunn O))), KTL), James Plotkin (OLD, Scorn, Phantomsmasher),  and Tim Wyskida (Blind Idiot God, Insect Ark). Besides the May 14th radio special, you can hear an encore airing Saturday, May 31st 6pm ET on EVR, and Brian’s archives on EVR. Other tour dates beside NYC include Thalia Hall in Chicago (May 30th) and Prepare the Ground in Toronto (June 1st). All info at khanateofficial.com.
