Khanate were a drone DoomMetal band formed by [[Music/SunnO Sunn O)))]] guitarist, Stephen O'Malley. Like Sunn O))), they are known well for being NightmareFuel in music form. Other band members are James Plotkin (bass), Alan Dublin (vocals), and Tim Wyskida (drums). Their band name is a term for a government or country which is under a ruler known as Khan, usually in ancient Asian countries.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: 11, no question. May cause pain to listen to from the pure heaviness. Though sometimes they can sink below a 9 on songs like "Wings From Spine" and "Torching Koroviev" (the latter which doesn't count as much as the former as it is an interlude track.)

* MindScrew

* MetalScream: All the vocals (except the whispered ones) are screamed, but one of the few times Alan holds a long note is at the beginning of "Skincoat".

* CarefulWithThatAxe: They do this all the time. '''ALL THE TIME!'''

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: In spades.

* MadnessMantra: Oh man, this band has PLENTY: ''"RED GLOOORY!"'' ("Commuted"), ''PLEASE DON'T BREATH!!!'' ("No Joy"), ''HELLLLLLLL!" ("Every God Damn Thing")

* ColdBloodedTorture: "Pieces of Quiet" appears to be about sawing a person apart because they won't stop crying.

* MadnessMantra: Oh man, this band has PLENTY: ''"RED GLOOORY!"'' ("Commuted"), ''PLEASE DON'T BREATH!!!'' ("No Joy"), ''HELLLLLLLL!" ("Every God Damn Thing")

* PsycopathicManchild: A lot of their music gives off this impression, due to the simplistic but disturbing lyrics and screamed delivery of the vocals.

* MetalScream - All the vocals (except the whispered ones) are screamed, but one of the few times Alan holds a long note is at the beginning of "Skincoat".
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness - 11, no question. May cause pain to listen to from the pure heaviness. Though sometimes they can sink below a 9 on songs like "Wings From Spine" and "Torching Koroviev" (the latter which doesn't count as much as the former as it is an interlude track.)
* EpicRocking - Their entire catalouge. Their longest are "Under Rotting Sky" (18:17), "Release" (25:03), and "Every God Damn Thing" (32:52).

* IndecipherableLyrics - Well, the vocals are screamed, so...
* LastNoteNightmare - "No Joy" and "Too Close Enough to Touch".

* TitleDrop - From "Too Close Enough to Touch" the band drops the title of the album the song is on: ''Outside...ugly...things viral...''
* SanitySlippageSong - Their entire catalogue. Especially "Every God Damn Thing". Read the lyrics and you'll know what I mean.

* MadnessMantra - Oh man, this band has PLENTY: ''"RED GLOOORY!"'' ("Commuted"), ''PLEASE DON'T BREATH!!!'' ("No Joy"), ''HELLLLLLLL!" ("Every God Damn Thing")

* EpicRiff - A notable example is the main riff of "Pieces of Quiet". Also, if you mean "epic" by long, then every riff counts.

* LoveItOrHateIt - Many people believe Khanate are truly frightening and disturbing, but others can pass it up as a bunch of stoned dudes trying too hard, and this unfortunately applies for alot of drone/doom bands.
