Musical style and lyrical themes


Kublai Khan play a style of metalcore reminiscent of the early 1990s metallic hardcore scene (Integrity, Earth Crisis, All Out War, Hatebreed). The band employs heavy, slow breakdowns, heavily downtuned guitars (sometimes 7 string guitars tuned to drop G#) and raspy vocals.
They also touch on socially conscious issues such as racism ("Color Code", "No Kin"), human rights, violent police profiling or brutality ("True Fear"), organized religion ("B.C."), depression ("Belligerent"), social anxiety ("The Hammer"), and violence against women/the sex trade ("Swan Song").
