BASEMENT GIG – KHAN

KHAN (AU) – ‘That Fair and Warlike Form’ European Tour – Glasgow w/ Skin Thief (AU)

Australian progressive heavy psych band Khan are bringing their ‘That Fair and Warlike Form’ Tour to Europe for 20 shows across September and October. The Melbourne-based trio meld hazy psychedelia with heavy stoner riffs, progressive rhythms and dirge-like crescendos. Their songs range from haunting melancholy to empyreal awe, with vocals shifting between ethereal falsetto, hypnotic crooning and impassioned wailing punctuated by occasional guttural screams.

Khan released their fourth studio album, ‘That Fair and Warlike Form // Return to Dust’, in October 2025 through Full Contact Safari Records. It is a concept album of two 23-minute songs exploring the suffering of a man possessed by the god of death Erlik. The band will perform material from the new album live for European audiences on this tour. They’ll be joined for their first ever show in Glasgow at Nice N Sleazy by fellow Australian post-metal trio Skin Thief.

Heavy instrumental trio Skin Thief play a progressive style of post-metal featuring grinding bass riffs, chopped rhythms and brooding hypnotic atmospherics that build into explosive crescendos. Their album ‘Frozen in the Act of Breaking’ was released in 2025 through Full Contact Safari Records; this will be their first European tour.
