KHOST - 'Many Things Afflict Us Few Things Console Us'





CSR313LP (20 September 2024)
Red LP Ltd 200 copies.
Barcode: 0641871746415

The 5th album from Birmingham-based industrial/doom metal band Khost sees the band forging new and at times nightmarish territories, alongside their signature walls of detuned guitar, corroded percussion and VHS atmospherics.

Inspiration for many of the tracks came from countless live shows and even soundcheck experiments in which extreme, harsh electronics evolved, as did punk/early industrial tempos, all of which were then fused into the DNA of "Many Things Afflict Us Few Things Console Us".

Khost remark: "We hoped that the experience would be something like venturing into an off-limits wing of some gallery after-hours, with each turn more disorientating than where you just were".

Collaborators include AXEBREAKER (aka Terence Hannum of Locrian), acclaimed cellist JO QUAIL, and Berlin-based sound designer MANUEL LIEBESKIND.

The LP edition features a different mix by Khost especially for vinyl.

Ltd Ed 200 copies on red heavyweight 180g vinyl in a reverseboard sleeve.

REVIEWS:

"Khost is a monumental force of aural destruction... describing the human condition through a prism of endless weightiness... hypnotic and discomforting soundscapes that expose and unnerve its listeners... If you are already familiar with Khost’s sonic patchwork, you’ll feel right at home (or deliciously uneasy), in the band’s trademark, often overwhelming, signature sounds: detuned guitars that could tip over the edge into chaotic collapse at any second, corrosive percussion that sounds like it was dug up from a post-apocalyptic cave, and VHS ‘throwback’ grime mixed with restless noise. All of this congeals into a heavy haze, rumbling under Khost’s sensory attacks. The abysmal bass, riffs and industrial buzz creates a very dirty experience—similar to the warehouse in which it may have been recorded. Layered on top of this, the vocals are stretched and contorted with a sound that goes beyond the range of recognition and reinforces Khost’s foundation" (Elevar Magazine).

"Khost is not just another average metal band... Their mixture of doom metal and industrial has opened some tight doors already through which they could share the stage with bands like Godflesh, JK Flesh, Con-Dom, Anaal Nathrakh and others.... In almost 70 minutes, divided over 18 tracks, they show humanity how it’s done, and it sounds fantastic! Their music is [an] emulsion with so much quality... and if you don’t mind a slight heaviness in your guitar, Khost will just as well fit any musical taste ranging from industrial to noise to metal to..." (Vital Weekly).

"Finally there will be a new Khost album, and an album it is! The sound is largely what we know and love Khost for. Very slow and dark doom metal with deep grunting vocals... Some of the tracks do sound very industrial... Also among the extra tracks is one of the dark ambient tracks with film samples that the band makes more often and two remixes. I particularly like the slow, dark tracks" (4/5, Gangleri).
