Biography

Khlyst is a drone doom project that features guitarist James Plotkin (Khanate, Phantomsmasher, OLD), vocalist Runhild Gammelsæter (Thorr's Hammer), and drummer Tim Wyskida (Khanate, Blind Idiot God).

The band's debut album, Chaos Is My Name, was reviewed by Max Deneau of Exclaim! , who stated, "There's plenty of buried melody to be found, and the disc is overall deceptively mellow, once you're desensitized to the vocal presence." [1]
