At the same time, the band have also announced special vinyl reissues of their first two albums, 2001's self-titled debut, and 2003's monstrous Things Viral, both having been out of print since 2016.
"We convened at a grimy practice space in Jersey City. The entire first album was tracked while we were finding our footing together with tones and meter, timing and tension," recalls Stephen of their debut. "Revelling in that first fire of enthusiasm and new exploration, ambition was there from the first meeting. The self-titled album is a cruel beast – ugly, raw and extreme. But also full of new ideas and optimism as musicians. It climbed quickly."
On the differences between the debut and their second album, drummer Tim Wyskida says that, “Khanate had grown confident in the power of our ideas, which allowed us to dig more deeply into dynamics, detail, spaciousness and manipulation of time.
"This was a development from the first album, where we relied more heavily on muscle and volume knobs to give our newly birthed sound sufficient power. Things Viral is a favourite amongst the band and established many of the fundamental aspects of our sound which are in place to this day."
The reissues drop on December 1 via Sacred Bones. Roadburn takes place in Tilburg, Netherlands, from April 18 – 21, 2024.
