Would there ever be such a thing as...

[Craysh3]

A song by Xasthur that doesn't make you want to crawl into yourself in utterly bleak hopelessness?

 

[Brooks]

If there was, would there be a point in listening to Xasthur?

He wants you dead.

Love the production on that shit. I consider Xasthur to be Burzum's american cousin.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Fascinating.

Agreed. Then we wouldn't have the godlike "Telepathic..." and "To Violate..."

I actually sold a bunch of my Xasthur shit recently... I pulled out The Funeral of Being one night and decided that it really wasn't that good at all so I sold everything (except for the self titled EP that I found yesterday; I'll sell that soon enough.)

I didn't get much for any of it though... probably because Xasthur fans don't buy albums.

 

[The Emptier]

If he has nothing on Varg then this must be terrible.

 

[~Lynn~]

Sounds like he records in the tank of his toilet.

Nah. Outhouse in the forest.

Edit: Thats a pretty good record name, actually. I think I should use that before someone else does. I'll do some Velvet Cacoon type shit and just record the hum of a guitar for an hour.

 

[~Lynn~]

Mmm yes. I think you've got it.

 

[vikk]

it took me quite sometime to move out from black metal. worse move ever. Recommend me some Xasthur albums.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I recommend Leviathan instead

You've got to be kidding, I don't know how I ever listened to that garbage save for a few good bands.

But Max is right, I recommend Leviathan instead.

 

[Craysh3]

Leviathan/Xasthur split EP anyone?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Even better: Lurker of Chalice.
