The Xun Protectorate

by Khonsu

supported by

Dmitry Nevozhay Extraordinary prog/avant black band and their latest masterpiece album. The same level as best efforts of Arcturus. Atmospheric, melodic, diverse, complex, epic, impeccably performed. Among AOTD(ecade) Favorite track: A Dream of Earth.

InfernalDoggo Khonsu made me realize that fusion of electronic and black/death metal music can be done very well without losing its darkness and atmosphere. Pure dystopian madness 👏 can't wait for new release. Favorite track: A Dream of Earth.

Michele De Lorenzi This album is a trip.
I was not convinced about buying it by the 2-3 songs that they released before its publication. It was only after listening to it as a whole that I was convinced.
I am listening to it over and over again. And it is really a trip.
I can't wait to receive the cd so that I can read all the lyrics. I guest that's going to be another trip into a sort of science fiction/potential long long term scenario real story.
A great work.

about

Khonsu Bergen, Norway

Heavy guitars are slicing and crushing with stunning precision and elegance. Massive and thundering keyboards weave dense textures. Metal and Industrial collide to shape dark forms and structures. The falcon headed Egyptian moon-god KHONSU becomes incarnate. ... more
