American drone doom metal band Khanate formed in 2000 and disbanded in 2006. They reunited from 2009 to 2010, and reformed again in late 2017. Known for their ultra gravitational hellish brooding black doom metal sound, the band's unique style is characterized by inhuman vocal constructs.

The band consists of Alan Dubin on vocals, Stephen O'Malley on guitars, James Plotkin on bass, and Tim Wyskida on drums. Together, they create a powerful and intense musical experience that captivates audiences.

With their distinctive sound and influential presence in the genre, Khanate has left a lasting impact on the music scene. Their dark and atmospheric compositions continue to resonate with fans around the world.
