{"product_id":"4988044089907","title":"Canate TO BE CRUEL Japan Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003cbr\u003e\nContent Introduction In recent years, while various bands and artists have made comebacks, there has never been a return in the heavy music world that has been received with such shock. The legendary drone\/doom\/sludge\/heavy music band KHANATE has made a comeback. Formed in New York in 2001, they were seen as a supergroup bringing together top talents of the scene: James Plotkin (B: OLD\/SCORN\/solo etc.), Alan Dubin (Vo: OLD), Stephen O'Malley (G: SUNN O)))\/BURNING WITCH), and Tim Wyskida (Ds: BLID IDIOT GOD). Their live performances, dominated by a sense of tension, were so legendary that each one became a story in itself. Despite releasing three excellent albums?'Khanate' (2001), 'Things Viral' (2003), and 'Capture \u0026amp; Release' (2005)?the tension among the members, mirroring their sound style, dominated their relationship, leading to their disbandment in 2006. Their final album, 'Clean Hands Go Foul', was released in 2009. Since then, the four members have pursued individual projects, with Stephen's SUNN O))) in particular making a global impact with its heavy drone sound, often seen as high-end art, and remaining at the top for a long time. The extremely minimalist, heavy drones and the percussive, all-out ensemble playing evoke a sense of intense sparring, while the death-throes vocals convey a sense of hopelessness, as if expressing humanity's final cry. This minimalist sound demands such intense concentration that it steals the listener's breath. This album began with all four members sharing a session that Stephen and Tim had conducted in 2017, and the album's production proceeded as a top-secret matter known only to the members. It was almost completed in the summer of 2021 amidst the pandemic, and everything, including the artwork, was finished by the end of 2022. To perfectly prevent any information leaks, those involved shared the project under the codename \"Manbyrd.\" Like their previous works, this lengthy 61-minute album of three tracks is dominated by a suffocating sense of tension and has a finish that evokes a new apocalypse. Tracklist: 1. Like a Poisoned Dog 2. It Wants to Fly 3. To Be Cruel Media Reviews and More When the door to pitch-black darkness opens once again...
