Khanate were the first great experimental metal band of the 21st Century but folded in 2006 due to intense internally generated pressures; they have returned with a stunning new album To Be Cruel released on Sacred Bones today, with news of live gigs and a full reissue programme. The four musicians speak to John Doran about breaking ground and eating livers. All photographs by Ebru Yildiz
