prairie country

We drove a few hours south to Nashville this past weekend to play with Across Tundras for the release of their new album, 'Old World Wanderer'. What can i say?..This is one of my favorite cities I've had the great pleasure of visiting in the past few months. It's always a good time stepping back into the sludgy south.

AT played a most solid set consisting almost entirely of cuts off their new record. They didn't waver much from what seemed at times like a perpetual riff conducting a gliding magic carpet across psychedelic sands. I certainly hope that we'll have the pleasure of meeting up with these guys again!

The Groove is an awesome place. Louis, Andrew, and the rest of the crew there are stellar people. Make sure to drop in and check out their stash of amazing vinyl and cds. p.s. Andrew took some video with his iPhone of us playing Khnum...go check it out on our myspace...annd, our friend Monty filmed the entirety of this show and some of the AT set in hd. so maybe we'll upload some of that soon too.

Stuff. People are wanting stuff...as far as that goes we are almost finished with the album art and we have a new tee design in the works as well. We'll have both posted on this blog as soon as we get em'.
So in the meantime...come hang with us this weekend in Johnson City, TN. We will be playing w/ locals Cerements and Audible Burst (KY)

cosmic guidance

Planets must've aligned favoring loud and heavy during the last few days of February. We were fortunate enough to make some great new friends, reconnect with old one's, play a few shows with some very able bands, and drink our weight in porter and mead before returning home safely. This weekend provided proof that heavy music is alive and well throughout Kentucky.
Along the journey we crossed paths with Louisville's, Seidr, and definitely recommend checking these guys out. Their songs go beyond sound alone, and we're currently working on collaborating with them on shows and maybe more.
Our first release is on the cusp of completion and we're looking forward to recording a number of splits in the spring. While no official release date has been scheduled for, 'St. Anthony's Fire', I can reveal that it will be freely available in April.



Khnum Khufu. Recorded at Wiseguys - Somerset, KY on 2/26/10

Also, this past weekend we were informed by a close comrade that we will be sharing a venue with the one and only, Pentagram. They will be performing in the big room at the Soughgate House on the same night that we play in the parlour with Old One and Highgate. Needless to say were excited as hell about this one! See you there...
