The Xun Protectorate

by Khonsu

supported by

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.

Romain Li Could not miss the opportunity to get this absolute masterpiece of industrial black metal for that price.

chipkali I keep going back to this. The atmosphere makes it one of my perennial favourites.

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
