Xasthur: Malefic (vocals, guitars, cello, keyboards, bass guitar, drums). Recording information: 03/2006-04/2006. Enigmatic black metal one-man band Scott "Malefic" Conner is as close as the genre comes to a superstar. His lo-fi compositions combine the colossal grandeur of his black metal forebearers with a unique, almost indie-rock ethos. The charged, electric guitars that cascade ominously over each song owe more to the livewire tone of H?sker D? than the adamantine crunch of Immortal; and the thick storm of ambient, repeated noise, and feedback evoke the more experimental end of the shoegaze sound. DEFECTIVE EPITAPH offers a cleaner, more focused Xasthur than on prior efforts. Though with the howled vocals suspended in the abrasive murk, this still sounds like rust, hail, pain, and despair. |
