Khanate was an American drone doom supergroup formed in 2000 that brought together James Plotkin and Alan Dubin (OLD), Tim Wyskida (Blind Idiot God, Manbyrd) and Stephen O'Malley (Burning Witch, Sunn O)))).
Most of their songs last more than 10 minutes and are characterised by extremely slow tempos, harsh layers of feedback and a torturous shrieking.
As of September 24, 2006, they’ve split up, Plotkin stating the reason was the “lack of commitment from certain members”.
