There is more than one artist with this name: an indie acoustic rock act formed in London, UK in 1995, and a heavy metal band formed in Wellington, New Zealand in 1996.
1.) Shakhan is an indie acoustic rock act formed in London, UK in 1995. The line up consisted of Davyd Homan and Shoshanah Homan. The founder and mainstay of Shakhan is Davyd Homan who is from New Zealand.
Shakhan released their debut album The System in 2004, a collection of protest songs. This met with some reaction to its lyrical content. In 2005 Shakhan (Davyd Homan) moved to Australia where he chiselled away at recording technique and writing new material. The result of this was a double release in 2011 of The System (remix) a remastered re-release with acoustic versions added of Religion (acoustic) and Silent Screams (acoustic). 3 new songs were added. The album Forgotten Tree a collection of 18 tracks shows the same focus on lyrical tightness and has a mixture of band and acoustic tracks. Shakhan’s recent return to his native New Zealand has launched a new phase in his music.
