Kublai Khan TX are a metalcore quartet from North Texas with an aggressive, punishing sound that combines monstrous riffs and thrashing blastbeats with thoughtful lyrics that address issues such as racism, depression, and addiction. Not to be confused with the '80s speed metal band of the same name, Kublai Khan TX issued their punishing debut full-length, Balancing Survival and Happiness, in 2014. The band inked a deal with Rise Records ahead of the release of 2017's Nomad, and continued to explore hardcore subgenres on subsequent efforts Absolute (2019), Lowest Form of Animal (2022), and Exhibition of Prowess (2024).
