NotesBuried Steel is the fourth album from Birmingham industrial metal duo Khost, following the 2017 release Governance (CSR 237CD, 2017). Themes and sonics of Buried Steel range from granite and impassive to dream-like and somnambulistic, in keeping with the promise - and threat - of the title, dwelling on slow, infallible ruination: a gravitational downthrust upon misshapen monuments and structures which are mangled, overgrown and increasingly forgotten. A monochrome landscape where nature reclaims and redefines us as time passes. Recording of the album was marred with events such as an electrical fire which damaged some equipment. As a result, a number of tracks on the album had to be pieced together from damaged analogue elements such as reel-to-reel (Khost reel-to-reel RIP). From this point, the dynamic of some of the songs was altered, shifting their eventual outcome, particularly the tone of ambient work on Buried Steel. Guests include Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire, Wrangler), Syan, Eugene Robinson (Oxbow), Manuel Liebeskind, Daniel Buess (16-17, MIR), and Stephen Ah Burroughs (Tunnels Of Ah, ex-Head Of David). Six-panel digipak with artwork contributions from Talitha Bell, Syan, and Craig Earp. Includes a remix by Mothboy.
