Over the course of nine albums and a host of split-singles, EPs, and occasional demos, Xasthur's individual, particularly depressive style became highly regarded within the extreme genre. In 2010, Scott announced the end of Xasthur and returned with an acoustic dark folk project under the banner of NOCTURNAL POISONING. In 2015, the American artist returned to the name Xasthur, but insisted that his black metal days were over. On his so far latest album, \"Inevitably Dark\", Xasthur have partly lifted the self-imposed ban on black metal, simply because Conner simply did like he felt.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolding Yourself Hostage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNone of Us\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraffic in Seclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShit Creek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProven to Be Broken\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrespassing on Your Own Land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParole Fearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurning Tricks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Voices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown on Their Luck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom the Inside Looking in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShare the Poverty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 884388872882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prophecy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.6.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Xasthur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291483639889,"sku":"81451","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4238497-3027575.jpg?v=1760729820"},{"product_id":"funeral-of-being-colored-vinyl-gate-slv","title":"Funeral Of Being [Colored Vinyl] (Gate) (Slv)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSilver mauve marble vinyl.

Xasthur founder Scott Conner sure ain't one of them. The always open wound of his life suppurates in a constant flow of sonic blood into and out of his latest album \"Disharmonic Variations\". The thirteen bitter, painful, dirt-stained, and sometimes even hopeful tracks sure ain't pretty \"Goldberg Variations\" either. Rather the title \"Disharmonic Variations\" serves as both the program and the message. Music is not just what Scott does. He does not lead a picture book life. There is only music. Scott does not write and record just 8 songs a year. He makes music 24\/7 on his own time and in his own way. Scott does it analogue, in the hard old-fashioned way, with his gear and instruments piled up in the room where he stays at the time. In this musical flow of consciousness, this diary of an artist, all considerations of style are a luxury that Scott does not have. His current form of expression on \"Disharmonic Variations\" tends towards the acidic taste of American dark folk with one detour into ambient sound. There is no guarantee for the direction that Xasthur will take next. Whatever happens depends on what Scott feels. Xasthur were originally conceived by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Scott Conner in the year 1995. Although started in the sunny state of California, USA, the project started out in the vein of bleak black metal of the Nordic second wave. In 2010, Scott announced the end of Xasthur and returned with an acoustic dark folk project under the banner of NOCTURNAL POISONING. In 2015, the American artist circled back to the name Xasthur, but insisted that his black metal days were over. On the previous release \"Inevitably Dark\" (2023), Xasthur have partly lifted the self-imposed ban on black metal, simply because Conner felt like it and therefore did it. With \"Disharmonic Variations\", Xasthur deliver their next 'take it or leave it' recording. To Scott Conner it does not matter what other people think about his music. Curse him, praise him - he still only does what he wills and that remains his true artistic achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeginning of a New End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMirrors Made of Misery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaunted By the Living\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling Yourself to Die\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho Will Smash the Mirror of Lies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychedelic Darkness in Reality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMessenger of Your Reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Existence Is Not Enough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther Blind Believers 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs You Point Into Guilty Mirrors 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFairytale Ideologies 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheep in Wolves Clothing 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCounterfeit Pennies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 884388872035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prophecy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Xasthur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291665764433,"sku":"159363","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4338091-3178446.jpg?v=1760732118"},{"product_id":"all-reflections-drained-silver-blue-marble-slv-lp","title":"All Reflections Drained - Silver\/Blue Marble (Slv) [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e2LP Gatefold (silver\/blue marble vinyl). Xasthur's 2009 full-length \"All Reflections Drained\" is still firmly based on a black metal foundation of the band's earlier works although this phase came to a preliminary close only a year later. At the time, this album was originally released under the name NOCTURNAL POISONING, but it was later added by the artist to the canon of his prime band and redesignated accordingly. The (according to the new count) seventh Xasthur full-length can be heard as the soundtrack to a bleak fairytale of broken hearts and sinister horrors. This symphony of abomination and misery emphasises the cinematic aspects of black metal where dark emotions turn into images of the mind.

It has mostly led a life of a hidden gem in the band's catalogue as it transforms the ominous, melancholic, and dreamlike aspects of black metal into an acoustic sound. Yet, despite the difference of expression, \"Other Worlds of the Mind\" retains the brooding, sinister, and mysterious atmosphere that have marked the earlier works of Xasthur. The album also conveys the same raw, unfiltered, and painful emotions as before. Xasthur were originally conceived by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Scott Conner in California, USA in the year 1995. The project started out in the vein of bleak black metal in the tradition of the Nordic second wave. Over the course of nine albums and a host of split-singles, EPs, and occasional demos, Xasthur's individual, particularly depressive style became highly regarded within the extreme genre. In 2010, Scott announced the end of Xasthur and returned with an acoustic dark folk project under the banner of NOCTURNAL POISONING. In 2015, the American artist returned to the name Xasthur, but insisted that his black metal days were over.

The year 2018 saw Xasthur reaping the rewards of frenzied creativity with two albums hitting the street: first \"A Misleading Reality\" and then \"Other Worlds of the Mind\". At the time, both albums were originally released under the name NOCTURNAL POISONING, but were later added to the canon of the prime band and redesignated accordingly by the artist. Although the expression had shifted from black metal to a more acid folk-like approach, the spiritual core of the music remained the same. Xasthur meticulously chronicled the experiences of many Americans and folk around the globe that failed to meet the relentlessly rising cost of merely existing. All the elements that made the band unique are still there on \"A Misleading Reality\": the ominous and deranged, the melancholic brooding and the dreamlike, the sinister and the pain. It's high time to lift this overlooked musical treasure from the gutter again and it will be released on vinyl for the first time.

With Scott on guitar and\/ or drums, and aided by nameless musicians directed by Scott, the rehearsals were recorded on a cassette walkman at his home. The outcome of these recordings are very raw, dirty, lo-fi, live demo tracks, mostly instrumentals, with tracks 5 and 6 featuring vocals [by an anonymous helper]. All potential band members were soon dismissed. Today, Scott and Prophecy Productions unleash this excavated artifact. Ten tracks, long buried, from the original 2013 CDR, for the diehard extremist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 884388871533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prophecy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.23.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Xasthur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58292329021521,"sku":"439993","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4204375-2971760.jpg?v=1760742185"},{"product_id":"gate-through-bloodstained-mirrors-gate-180-gram","title":"Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors (Gate) [180 Gram]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"A Gate Through the Bloodstained Mirrors\" is the full-length release of US Depressive\/Suicidal Black Metal masters Xasthur from 2001.

Xasthur's 2009 full-length \"All Reflections Drained\" is still firmly based on a black metal foundation of the band's earlier works although this phase came to a preliminary close only a year later. At the time, this album was originally released under the name NOCTURNAL POISONING, but it was later added by the artist to the canon of his prime band and redesignated accordingly. The (according to the new count) seventh Xasthur full-length can be heard as the soundtrack to a bleak fairytale of broken hearts and sinister horrors. This symphony of abomination and misery emphasises the cinematic aspects of black metal where dark emotions turn into images of the mind. The characteristic lo-fi fog of Xasthur's sound is deliberately designed and backed by years of experience. \"All Reflections Drained\" will be released on vinyl for the first time. Xasthur were originally conceived by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Scott Conner in California, USA in the year 1995. The project started out in the vein of bleak black metal in the tradition of the Nordic second wave. Over the course of nine albums and a host of split-singles, EPs, and occasional demos, Xasthur's individual, particularly depressive style became highly regarded within the extreme genre. In 2010, Scott announced the end of Xasthur and returned with an acoustic dark folk project under the banner of NOCTURNAL POISONING. In 2015, the American artist returned to the name Xasthur, but insisted that his black metal days were over. With their latest full-length \"Inevitably Dark\", Xasthur have partly lifted the self-imposed ban on black metal, simply because Conner felt like it and therefore did it. Tracklist: 01.

The year 2018 saw Xasthur reaping the rewards of frenzied creativity with two albums hitting the street: first \"A Misleading Reality\" and then \"Other Worlds of the Mind\". At the time, both albums were originally released under the name NOCTURNAL POISONING, but were later added to the canon of the prime band and redesignated accordingly by the artist. Although the expression had shifted from black metal to a more acid folk-like approach, the spiritual core of the music remained the same. Xasthur meticulously chronicled the experiences of many Americans and folk around the globe that failed to meet the relentlessly rising cost of merely existing. All the elements that made the band unique are still there on \"A Misleading Reality\": the ominous and deranged, the melancholic brooding and the dreamlike, the sinister and the pain. It's high time to lift this overlooked musical treasure from the gutter again and it will be released on vinyl for the first time. Xasthur were conceived by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Scott Conner in California, USA in the year 1995.

The production has audibly been cleared up, even though Conner still aims for the recording process to feel live, organic, and real. \"\"Open to Misinterpretation\"\" probably feels more complete because these songs have already been performed live on stage due to Xasthur's prior touring activities on both sides of the Atlantic.
