KHA’NOS - The Uncreation (SCUM Compilation 2009)

KHA’NOS was a death metal band from Santa Cruz, CA that was active from ~2008-2010. Featuring Riley McShane (currently of Allegaeon) on vocals, Phil Rudock and Shane Terry on guitars, and Fynn Jones on drums. I joined on bass in Summer 2009 and played with the band until it dissolved about a year later. Shane and Fynn would go on to form the black/doom metal band Gloam. A four-song demo was recorded before I joined, and the band was playing local shows. While I was in the band, we played about a half dozen shows, recorded “The Uncreation“ for the “Santa Cruz Underground Metal“ 2009 compilation CD, wrote new material, and started pre-production for a release, which was never completed. In 2021 I revisited the pre-production files and began work to finish the recording of the release.
