Yeah, the music threw me for a while, I'm coming around to it though. One of the tracks is very Khanate though, especially in the beginning of the song.
I agree, which is probably why the music repelled me when I first heard it. I wish Sunn decided to break up instead of Khanate. So much wasted potential. Sunn seems to be more of a money scheme anyway.
There are a number of releases O'Malley has put out, that one could literally just plug in a guitar, strum one chord, achieve the same sound, and not waste money.
