khanate "Dead" video

[Calvert1212]

I like how the lyrics are written in free verse like a poem

[Defenseman619]

I love the part where he puts the gun to his head and kills himself. Seriously though, THIS is ART. I see a lot of commentary that seems to defend simplistic or minimalist metal... I say don't sweat it. I'm blown away by this and I could give a shit what anyone thinks... hence the objectivity of art/music.

[nestoftongues]

No talent? Idiots. It takes a superb sense of rhythm and timing from each band member to keep songs like this together. They are all capable musicians. I think many of you have shit for ears and are missing the point of Khanate completely.

[sloud5432]

this is amazing.

[funkypants99]

and this guy did a TV spot for Nickelodeon

[Loxxikus]

People say that this takes little or no musical talent. From a technical stand point, yes, it's extremely simplistic and anyone could play it. But it's really hard to write drone/doom that can hold people's attention with so little going on for so long. You can be a technically terrible player, but you need to be a decent song writer to pull it off. Just my thoughts, anyway. Love Khanate.

[panzerny]

the most intense 4 minutes of my life.

[ultraboard101]

i give him credit for making something cool with the video and all, like if thats the type of stuff he wants to create cool, but without the video i cant call this music, its more like something that should just be put to dvd with other vids.

[ultramouse]

this is more or less what I'd imagine a khanate video looking like

[sunkdevifull]

Probably the best video ever... and the song... well... Khanate, say no more...

[7dollarproductions]

This song... did not seem to posses much musical talent. It combined interestingly with the visual though.

[JordiSmulders]

Who can see the beauty in pain, suffering and hurting knows they are just emotions like joy, fun and happiness. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes it can be good to give your 'dark' self a littlebit of attention.

[pepemordor]

Fucking scary

[antirapmissle]

this is simultaneously the most harrowig yet beautiful thing you'll ever see.

[MataPadre]

sinistroSSSSS!!!!!

[trendycore]

This... is... beautiful... *_*

[nichelinese72]

troppo figo! Too cool!

[peloteltavissa]

creepy to listen this with full screen and totally drunk. :)

[ericsyre]

THIS IS DOOM!

[XMxOxRxSX]

suicide as a protest form..

p.s. the actor hi great

his face is perfect

[Gala614]

this is fuel for the hate

[jacob7207]

Suicide is painless, da da da da dada da.

[Splattersoffairytale]

Wait... but who's the band?

[kippeveer]

Khanate. Thank God i've seen one of their last gigs.

[Jazzbastard79]

One of the heaviest songs ever. I defy anyone to listen to that with the lights out and not piss your pants.

[Pr1est0fDoom]

@Jazzbastard

Actually I DID listen to the whole "Khanate" album at max volume locked up alone in my room with lights out... It was the best musical experience of my life :-D

[hoygevoyge]

alan dubin is the fucking shit.

suicide rules!

[xcash4hashx]

FCKNG GREAT !!!!!!!

[FA9082]

Very kewl video.

[DaCro313]

is this the real music video. it is just pure i dont know what but its great

[StealthParadox]

This have anything to do with American Beauty?

[redshaftedflicker]

My life sucks. But not as bad as this guy. Dubin ruled in O.L.D. as well.

[katakombinaatti]

Alan sure is a great editor. Wonder what other videos / stuff he's edited? By the way, Inoxia Records has begun shipping their pre-orders for Clean Hands Go Foul. Wouldn't it be something if the very first album I bought this year made it to the #1 in the Top of 2009 list? We'll see.

[ole9872]

Wow...!I have heard and seen a lot in my life.,but this...,new vibes.,new music...,fucking sweet folks..! :) Peace

[metalmakis]

I've pissed my pants with this voice. . .

[034056me780]

are you new to extreme metal or somethin'?

This is almost like dimmu borgir, only more whisppy and scarry....

[metalmakis]

you said it yourself. . .its more scarry!!!

[034056me780]

yeah but not scarry enough to piss your fucking pants:P

whats more to say, it fucking rules

[DisembowelMe]

Well, the difference between this and dimmu burger is that this doesn't suck.

[IgorGiganskiANtiatom]

@DisembowelMe Αnd this isn't made pozer-ish

[panzerny]

@034056me780 , how cane you compare one of the best drone bands ever to lame dimmu burger?

[034056me780]

this video is genius

[metalmakis]

great vocals!!!what kind of metal is this?havent heard anything like that before. . .

[034056me780]

Extreme Drone Doom Metal. ITs fucking great!!

[DarkeningAsia]

booooooooooooorring...

[Vatraxotsipoura]

HOLY SHIT.... i didnt think there would be something that would make me feel sick in the doom metal scene... i was wrong xD great job

[aidenmnuroff]

i would love to be friends with whoever made the vid, A FANTASTIC JOB! i am in love with the vid! PERFECT!

[SaintVitus]

It would be perfect if it wasn`t too damn short...

[gdogg6891]

HOLY FUCK that is intense...

[drphonic7]

Swans are not "drone"; they are sick, but they're not drone....by any means

[thesonglessbird]

Their earlier stuff did inspire a lot of drone bands though.

[guitarx94]

anybody know where i can download this song...besides limewire?

[Ceb773]

look up vixy on google. it's a program where you can download videos from youtube, but you can choose to only get the mp3 or whatever. i'd download the thing if i were you cause using it from your browser takes a fucking year

[NietzscheanDisdain]

Soulseek.

[BaddGear]

guitarx94 Soulseek

[CrazyCanuck42]

whoever flagged this is a pussy

[bbielin]

film najwyższej klasy. muzyka tylko potęguje atmosferę lęku... world class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[almightyjoey]

For Halloween, I'm totally going to sit in the dark, and listen to Khanate. Creepiest shit ever.

[NeasNihil]

Good video... But, Justin Broadrick wants to sue...

[drewbene]

I should smack you for saying that

[NeasNihil]

So, I should be smacked for saying Justin Broadrick (Godflesh)

on a drone metal video?

Well, if belligerence is your game, then I guess your flame will catch up eventually...

[drewbene]

Look, believe me, i know who Justin Broadrick is. Hell ive seen Godflesh live. What i dont understand is why you would say that he would want to sue...

[NeasNihil]

Just testing the knowledge of the viewers that is all...

Do you have any suggestions from this band because I like Godflesh and Jesu, but I don't really know any other drone bands.

[AeonCatharsis]

Neither Godflesh nor Jesu are drone. For good drone look up (early) Earth, Sunn O))), Asva, and Nadja.

[NeasNihil]

I like Sunn O))) and Earth, but you forgot SWANS as far as drone innovators go...

Thanks I will check out Asva and Nadja

[SufferingLuka]

Khanate - four professional musicians not some teenage emo faggots. Do you research.

[drewbene]

o man. you really typed all that didnt you...

[6meta66]

Drone/Doom Metal stuff is stuff for people who understand it and like it. You're probably some Slipknot emo fag dickhead...

[preparationH3]

Slipknot's not gay, i happen to like them a lot and am straight. Also, i am not emo either.

[SufferingLuka]

I really don't get the point of your insults because in my reply I didn't insult you. To be honest I don't really care and it's fuckin' funny that you've typed that all lol. Suffering Luka is a nickname taken from a CRUST PUNK* band "Suffering Luna"... So my dear little ignorant friend who insults with no reason at all, DO YOUR FUCKING RESEARCH.

[gorgolbutt]

Tämä bändi on tarkoitettu ihmisille, jotka eivät ymmärrä Doom Metalista yhtään mitään.

[Wexnar]

eikä : <

[1000fot]

Beautifully shot. Khanate is the shit.

[iamcruelty]

well fuck me. lol

didnt expect to find khanate on here

[ironlungnoise]

pure fucking evil!!!

[spadthebad]

seriously fucking cool video and great song.

[SufferingLuka]

No matter what anyone says Khanate is a great fucking band.

[Kallebongoa]

aleast no mtv fagot shit

[evilmoussaka]

superbe travail sur l'image et esthetique tres etudiée ,mais tout de meme franchement deconseillé aux ames sensibles !!

[exsesaw]

Wow... que video mas impresionante... en serio... y que buena actuacion.. que bueno todo... la verdad... en serio quede muy conforme..

[AntonOemar]

it so epic!!!

[Rastij1234567890]

never seen a music video like this, very good

[Rastij1234567890]

Great video, great acting and great effects

[BirleyBoatzing]

anyone who manages to play that role should be rewarded an oscar, a dead oscar that is.

[metalindustrial666]

muy voladoo

[3n0n]

DOOOOO))))))MMMMM

[OverFjell]

....Wow

[cookieman38111]

I miss Gen.

[nuclearlost]

Droneeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[bennybagofdonuts]

First time hearing Khanate, and I can tell I'm gonna love them.

[davebellard]

Directed by Alan Durbin, Khanate vocalist - correct?

[bgdoomly]

Great song and video..

Khanate R.I.P...

[H3nkk]

ehm boring

[floweringsilverzero]

wow, stunning

[DecemberFlower]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEED GLORY !!

My favorite band.

[kotrampalos]

love them!!!RED GLORY!!!!l want to see the commuted song video

[bigbowlowrong]

Uh... where's the second part of this video, the part with the music

[miisu]

Just do it...

[malsas]

Khanate contains nothing I normally like about metal; yet they are one of the most artistically brilliant bands I've ever heard. I'd like to see the actor's other work. His facial expressions showed that he was hallucinating so well that the mirror phantoms were entirely unnecessary. The blood roses, however, were a nice touch.

[stabyourcat]

Best vid, I've seen in a while. No one does it like Khanate.

[snailduck]

Absolutely beautiful. Regardless of wether you like the music genre or not the video is an art piece on it's own. Khanate fucking owns, one of the most intense live acts I've seen, more so than most extreme metal concerts I've been to. Less is fucking more.

[masssalem]

I waited for the song to start but it never did..........

[metalmuzzle]

i don't think you ate enough shrooms.

[SkinnKilla]

Drains out the will to live. Yup, that's a compliment.

[waxingfervor]

Very well done indeed.

Love the range of his emotions - anger, depression, fear, relief, bewilderment, surprise, joy, etc. I like the look on his face at 2:25 when he think's he's not dead, and wonders what's just happened.

[Crapzorsbutachin]

not a lot of joy going on. NO JOY.

[AeonCatharsis]

Intense.

[surfer4987]

ok. apparantly you can make a song using 3 chords

[LarsYenin]

khanate is the best band to ever slappa dat ass.

what is dubin up to since they split up? i want to follow his career...

[BrodieFBM]

Absolutely Fantastic.

[AntonOemar]

loveeee it yeah!!!

[hideHYDEimcoming]

gigernotasaurus is what i say

[braincras]

extreme.

[devdude06]

genius

[mikebott]

holy shit, am i impressed. having not seen this, my appreciation of the band only augments.

the first power chord at :30 is a genius of placement.

[KingCrimson82]

its always amazing that poeple still think slow is simple!!!!!they dont have an idea, how hard it is to play that stuff on point!

can8 FOREVER!!!!!!

[Disgustipated777]

amazing video, about time some band made a thought provoking an visually stunning video rather than prancing around on stage with girls like the majority of crappy music nowadays

[MALKUSMELKOR]

FUCKING SICK CLIP

[hideHYDEimcoming]

eat my fiery arse of triple deluxe vindaloo doooooooooooooooooooooom

[Immortalerik]

I LOVE THIS CLIP AND SONG!!!!

[bohemion]

and fuck that, they're immensely talented. it's harder to play slower.

[yth8er76]

of course your going to say that. because your that kind of person

[itzSommyJr]

You're so smart.

Everyone else is so dumb.

[bohemion]

true, khanate is not about talent, just feeling.

JUST FEELING

emotional doom. there.

[yth8er76]

well you take these lyrics and it only describes basically death (trying to dumb down my comment so you all can understand) and you have no musical talent. it basically sounds like just noise. This band doesn't have musical talent whatsoever. i expect more out of them

[d8mstix]

you're just stupid

but im glad u dont like khanate

makes me happy

this is not for everyone :)

IF YOU HATE EXTREME DOOM

YOU WILL

HATE

KHANATE!!!!!!

[kfant]

pretentious twat.

[itzSommyJr]

Yeah, you're right -- this would be way sweeter if it were played at 150 BPM and had a blistering guitar solo with pinch harmonics!

[etherbreath]

they are geniuses

[blobirpinia]

very intense video

i like this song and khanate

[zombie666yen]

esto si que es musica oscura ... y no mamona .. excelente este drone doom metal ...genial el video .. muy bien hecho

[jesseeckerlin]

insane. the embodiment of catharsis in metal.

[MaThTrash]

sick - i love this video !

[KidRichter]

no greater mistery than misery!

[Crapzorsbutachin]

i dont think this song is at all about the liberation, it's so drawn out not because it's great to be killed but because how dark this world can be, and how and why he felt his life wasnt worth living.

A Stunningly awesome song (in the non slang definition of awesome).

[fiouzd]

dope

[undeny]

beautiful

[FurryRoo]

Lovely song, incredibly disturbing. Great video too, probably the best video I've seen for any song.

[Cuntlava]

Great, great video!

[wildhoneypt]

we all know how a person dies..ridiculous video..they are so strong and dark..lol

[ArchEquilibrium]

Too bad the roses screw everything.

[youtumor45678]

I disagree. I think that by adding an element of beauty to it (the roses), it renders the whole thing that much creepier. I can see how someone might call it cheesy as well. To each his own.

[BrokenTealeaf32]

Actually, I think it represent the liberation he feels at the moment of his death. Look deeper than the video itself.

[braincras]

it doesn't screw everything for me, but the opposite, you fforget that the guy is now seeing the roses because he is dead; directly linking them together.

who thought about the roses as a death sign?

maybe the only way to see roses, is to die.

[thechoke666]

i love Alan Dubin's vocals!

nice video

[youtumor45678]

That was the heaviest video I've ever seen. This is so awesome.

[cyphlon]

AMAZING!!!

[deathtosam]

scares the piss right out of me

but i like the slowness of it, and i am an agoraphobic nosebleed, psyopus fan.

sounds like blacksabbath on tranqs.

[ladrugaddicto]

beautiful.

and it's the best extreme-doom/noise-rock since early Swans.

[wristofkings]

I have trouble watching this..... brrrr.

[Aniland]

This was fantastic.

[nekrolich]

Evil..\m/

[arndawg]

Fake.

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Sorry, were you expecting someone to actually commit suicide for your entertainment? Of course it's fake you fucking moron.

Love this vid, it's very grim.

[lolcorp]

well its obviously a fake death, you idiot.

[whackmybonobo]

it's real you fools

[jahanders]

OMG you are really stupid.

[mikebott]

who's stupid ?

[doxliesobachki]

oh fuck....it's fucking great. Khanate is one of the my favoryte band....after Esoterik!

[tindyo]

fucking great...

[apostel13]

very very nice video ^^

perfect sound / image

[editae]

fantastic video..filming and editing are awsome and the dude can act.

[iamzacky]

that was some depressed shit! love it!

[cosmiksquirel]

this truly is an amazing video.

[Xardomorr]

Happy ending at least, he dies. :)

[Ciapek88]

Freaky || Kurde niezłe klimaty:/

[skaterforfun]

pretty darn freaky...but SOO COOL! well not the fact that the guy killed himslef but ya no wat i mean..SWEET

[FlowerElectronics]

Bloody Hell! I need to buy myself a Khanate discography.

[yth8er76]

not as dark as tool but its worth it

[VIKINGDEATHCHANT]

Not as dark as Tool? Comparing Tool to the likes of KHANATE is like comparing no name dollar store brand ginger ale to embalming fluid.

[yth8er76]

no a guy on a tool video said KHANATE they were darker than tool. WOW A GUY COMMITTING SUICIDE! SOO DARK! that happens like every day.
