The highly influential Khanate return with their first album in 14 years, developing their singular and signature precise, temporal abstract doom beyondall thresholds.
Khanate are Stephen O’Malley (Sunn O))), KTL), James Plotkin (OLD, Scorn, Phantomsmasher), Alan Dubin (OLD, Gnaw) and Tim Wyskida (Blind Idiot God).
This album has been in the works since 2017, when O’Malley and Tim Wyskida recorded some initial sessions in the UK. They didn’t set out to make a Khanate record, but the tone was undeniable, and it has grown organically over time with each member adding their own mark and influence. They all clearly had more in the tank than they realised for this project. The record feels mature and weathered. Confidently slower than their debut and more focused than Capture and Release.
Overall, To Be Cruel is not just a triumphant return, it’s some of the best work that Khanate have ever created. All three tracks have stand out moments, but they also work together as a curated collection. This isn’t an album you’re going to put on when your parents pop in for a cup of tea.
It’s an album you’ll want to listen to alone in a darkened room with your own thoughts. This is music for grown-ups. Embrace the gloom and see where this remarkable album takes you. (heavyblogisheavy.com)

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
