biography
Flatlands create dark emotional and crushingly heavy music. The band have already made waves in the underground scene, touring hard with their unique brand of post-metal via doom. Merging the stripped down, elemental feel Neurosis and their ilk evoke on record with the painful torturous listening that is Khanate Flatlands sound is nothing but their own. Their originality was paid tribute early in their career by having the legendary Super-Fi Records releasing their two demo tracks on one side of a 12" with fellow experimental doomsters Sunshine Republic.

Recording their debut EP [due out Oct 16 on Sound Devastation Records] has been somewhat of a grim experience too - fitting some might say for the type of music Flatlands create. With a drummer fracturing his wrist only weeks before recording was planned the EP looked doomed to be pushed back. However, luckily doctors advised that drumming after a brief hiatus would be the best form of exercise and rehabilitation a wrist could have. The band are finishing up in the studio soon, and the release should hopefully be out before the group begin touring the UK and Ireland on the 20th October.
