Khost
Many Things Afflict Us Few Things Console Us
The 5th album from Birmingham-based industrial/doom metal band Khost sees the band forging new and at times nightmarish territories, alongside their signature walls of detuned guitar, corroded percussion and VHS atmospherics. Inspiration for many of the tracks came from countless live shows and even soundcheck experiments in which extreme, harsh electronics evolved, as did punk/early industrial tempos, all of which were then fused into the DNA of 'Many Things Afflict Us Few Things Console Us.' The CD is reinforced with 7 extra tracks including Adrain Stainburner's incredible remix of 'Yellow Light' featuring Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire, Wrangler) on vocals, and Bereneces adding his signature deep, dark D&B sound to the track 'Death Threat.'
