Biografie : Khthon
As a three-piece, the band focused on writing material while actively looking for a drummer and bassist. This period led to the recording of the ‘Songs on the Grave Side’ EP in July 2008. The EP, consisting of four tracks of Epic English Doom, was recorded and mixed at Kewsound Studios (My Silent Wake), and mastered by Greg Chandler. The band’s sound is a unique combination of its members’ individual tastes. Benjamin’s folk and classical influences blend seamlessly with Kevin’s unending ability to craft monstrously heavy riffs. Together, they create music which is both subtle and powerful. Around this, Adam’s vocals weave dark poetry inspired by folk ballads, Romantic literature and a lifelong passion for all things metal.
In October 2008, Khthon welcomed bassist Mark Barnes to the fold. Immediately, Mark added a new dimension to the Khthon sound, providing an expansive rhythmical foundation to the existing songs and contributing immeasurably to new, as yet unreleased, material. The search for a drummer continues…
Early 2009 sees the release of the ‘Songs On The Grave Side’ EP and the band’s move into the live arena. World doomination shall surely follow!
