Xasthur: 2005 Demo CD / 12" out February 23rd on Hydra Head!

One of America's most prolific and unapproachable underground metal musicians. - Billboard

It's so unnerving at times that it's easy to forget that this is just one Californian, one human like any other... except he hates everything he sees with a Nietzschean passion. - Decibel

If your into de/opp-ressive black metal, and like... who isn't? then your already a massive Xasthur fan... And so, you're already overwhelmingly aware of the fact that no outfit or individual in the Black Metal community, absolutely no one, is capable of reflecting and drawing the listener in to such a near tangible presence of distress...

The Xasthur record in question, 2005 Demo, is two lost, completed demo tracks that were recorded prior to the time that Subliminal Genocide was... and in a sense these two previously unavailable recordings come across like a much belated extension of Subliminal Genocide. And that record rules, so that's good news, right? Hydra Head has since mastered 2005 Demo so the listen will be enjoyable for Black Metal heads across the board, not just completest kids with b-side collections from here to Asgard.


2005 Demo Tracklist
1. Untitled 4/05 (7:02)
2. Untitled 5/05 (9:12)

Josh said...

wow! I suppose it will be like "black" gay metal again, and it will be worst if M.H is on vocals.
shit !!
malefic is in love or what? jajaja

jeff said...

i think it will sound good, at least better than the newer shit stuff.

later xasthur will not be blackmetal, His brain now is without ideas, and this gives as result the "limiting" black metal that he said.

I think he has replaced M.H with a singer by the name of Marissa Nadler. The demo is from 2005 so I don't think either one of those two are on it.

O said...

whatever, M.h is shit. jaja
I would prefer Marissa, or "Scott"

That’s all I have to say

Clair said...

hahaha massive conspiration... good idea.
malefic is better on vocals, i prefer the drum programming, because the real drums really sounds horrible.

you are rigth JEFF, ¿limiting black metal ? oh please, im musician ,black metal has infinity or variations, and this "black metal limit" announces the end of the best of xasthur

I don't think it said limiting black metal but instead finding black metal to be limiting. As read on here: http://xasthurnews.blogspot.com/

pretty sure if the files were lost they wouldn't be fucking released. Also there is a misspelling of "your" in the beginning.

"Hydra Head Records

Rejecting Technology Since 1995"

LOL....such hypocrites for writing this on your BLOG.
I wonder how many of you would know of Xasthur if it wasn't for the damn "technology" and if Xasthur as we know it would exist at all. (programmed drums)
