How would you compare it to Defective Epitaph? I really liked that album, worth the money. And there are also some tracks [like the first two songs] that are really slow and trance-like, at least ofr me lol. Anyway... so, could you compare it in some way? ---- Written by BloodTears on 19.08.2011 at 18:29 Like you could kiss my ass Written by Milena on 20.06.2012 at 10:49 Rod, let me love you. Loading...

I kind of stopped listening to Xasthur for a little while, and then this album came out, and brought me back and reminded me how much I love the atmosphere and how Scott never disappoints me! Xasthur FTW!! I also stopped listening to Xasthur for a while, I haven't got the new album yet, I take it that its good? Well I like it, but it depends. Xasthur is a "love or hate" band. I happen to be one of those who enjoy most of his material. I do think this album is awesome though, it's one of his slower and ambient releases. Cheers dude, I gave it a listen just earlier and I did indeed enjoy it. I like the sorta slower/ambient feel, one of my fav releases from him. ---- Formerly Desolate Gale Loading...

Which album should I start with first? Take your pick really, 'Telepathic With The Deceased' is my personal favourite but his style doesn't vary very much so whatever one you go for won't be all that different. 'Defective Epitaph' was also rather good, but again more of the same kind of thing. Might wanna avoid 'Subliminal Genocide' though, is a little on the bland side (and annoyingly the only Xasthur album I own) Loading...

Well that's from Subliminal Genocide which is arguably Xasthur's least interesting album =p I really can't stress how little he changes from each album though so you can't really go wrong with Xasthur if you like Malefic's style Loading...

Is good but could have been better. I appreacite his effort in having real drums, it's not like the previous sounded bad because of the drum machines... but it just sounded better with real ones. The cello here and there was cool too. ---- Written by BloodTears on 19.08.2011 at 18:29 Like you could kiss my ass Written by Milena on 20.06.2012 at 10:49 Rod, let me love you. Loading...
