Xasthur: Spotlight On Noisecreep

Dubbed one of America's "most prolific and unapproachable underground metal musicians" by Billboard, the California-based one-man-black-metal-band Xasthur has been creating dark despair since forming in 1995.

Though the first album came out in 2001, the '2005 Demo' in question is made up of two lost tracks that were completed before 2006's 'Subliminal Genocide' was released. According Xasthur mainman Malefic's label, "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?"

Hails from outer regions! I'd really wish an e-interview with Malefic about his thoughts and views for a small-print paper 'zine to be released this year. Weight in interviews put on individuals, their tools to understand (or cope with) the cosmos and thoughts, rather than past deeds or facts about records.

Yo, mang -- Billboard didn't say this. The site simply bit All Music Guide's review (see the end of the blurb).
