Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Industrial doom meets cerebral shimmering darkwave! Khost sound like Godflesh summoning Ragnorak from a Birmingham steel mill furnace, while Deep Cross are a subaquatic Lycia kept alive by glitching plankton. Where else but Dark Alchemy?"

Dark Alchemy are proud to present DEEP CROSS + Khost
DEEP CROSS (USA)
Meditating on the left hand and eventual immortality. Since 2016 Deep Cross have explored the negative spaces of Post-Punk, Industrial, Doom, Sludge, Psych and Drone to create a musical language that is quaquaversal in approach.

KHOST
“An aura of cult-like spiritual reverence… its hazardously industrial environs an exhausting maze of rubble that truly tests the stamina.” (Metal Hammer)
Since their inception in 2013, the Birmingham-based industrial doom duo of Andy Swan (Iroha/Final) and Damian Bennett (Carthage/Cortex/Gauge/Deathless/Techno Animal) have toured extensively with Godflesh and Conan as well as sharing the stage with Asphyx, Gnaw Their Tongues, Locrian, Vodun, Moss, Anaal Nathrakh, OvO, Final/JK Flesh. They’ve toured Europe, Israel, Russia and USA. With numerous releases on Cold Spring, studio collaborators have included Eugene Robinson of Oxbow, Jo Quail, Cabaret Voltaire, Tunnels of Ah, Daniel Buess and other sources providing saxophone, cello and voice for their wide-ranging recordings.
"Khost may just be the future of doom, drone, and just plain old loathing... This is what Godflesh was supposed to sound like" (Deaf Sparrow)
“…slabs of twin guitar drone and snail paced gargantuan riffs, marshalled into order by immense overdriven drum machine soldiers, while lulls in the assault are dominated by ethereal voices, found sounds and rather lush and spellbinding ambiances.” (Midlands Metalheads)
