Released this week on the mighty Hydra Head Records, are two of the most groundbreaking, and heavily anticipated albums to come out of the metal community in the first half of 2009.
The first release is the new and final album from legendary New York doom-metal supergroup, KHANATE. Titled "Clean Hands Go Foul," the four song mini-epic features James Plotkin and Alan Dubin, (OLD), Tim Wyskida (Blind Idiot God) and Stephen O'Malley (of Burning Witch and Sunn O)))). Khanate has and will continue to be renowned for their ability to create some of the most terrifying and nightmarishly extreme music to ever emerge from metal's expansive catalogue. * Super limited CD / DVD also available on Hydra Head.
Next comes the newest offering from US Black Metal maestro, XASTHUR. Entitled "All Reflections Drained," the album marks the first Xasthur release with guest vocalist and ambient aficionado M.H. The CD version includes a second disc of bonus material, and includes alternate versions, unreleased songs, and several covers. The 2xCD is housed in DVD style digipack, with cover art provided by Tim Lehi and photography by Faith Coloccia (Everlovely Lightningheart).
