Khantra

Khantra was a four-person augmented hardcore band hailing from northern New Jersey. Originally formed in 1998, Khantra was well-known for a unique experimental sound not limited by typical genres and constraints. Along with this dynamic nature, the band maintained a consistent emphasis on intense live performance, layered vocal arrangements, and detailed yet powerful song structures. Khantra had been around for many years in various forms, even prior to NotRock, as evidenced in their 1999 self-released split with Annoying Customer (RIP).
