Xasthur (/ˈzæstər/) is the project of American musician Scott "Malefic" Conner. Conner formed Xasthur in 1995 and released eight studio albums of black metal by 2010, when he announced the end of the project. However, he began using the name once again in 2015 to instead perform acoustic neofolk music. The first album with this new style was entitled Subject to Change, released in 2016.

Key Information

Etymology

[edit]

The name "Xasthur" is a combination of "Hastur" and "Xenaoth". Conner explained that he found the former name in a Necronomicon paperback and believed that it referred to "a demoness who kills people in their sleep". The latter name referred to a celestial deity he read about in a book on the Afro-Caribbean religion Santería.[1]

History

[edit]

Xasthur was created in December 1995 in Alhambra, California, after Conner had played with several local death metal groups in Southern California.[2] Initially, the band began rehearsing and recording in a home studio with an unstable lineup. A 10-track tape of these early rehearsals was circulated on the trade scene. While the original of that tape was destroyed, some tracks appeared on re-releases of later albums.

For a self-released split album with Orosius, Conner was joined on drums and vocals by friend Mike Pardi from the band Draconis, who used the stage name "Ritual." Subsequently, Xasthur became Conner's solo project, although Khaija "Blood Moon" Ausar (of Dacon and Crimson Moon) later appeared as a session musician on the song "A Curse for the Lifeless" (from Nortt/Xasthur) and the EP Xasthur, Mark "M.H." Hunter performed on Defective Epitaph and All Reflections Drained, and Marissa Nadler sang on Portal of Sorrow.

Before releasing their first official full-length album in 2002, Xasthur recordings were distributed in limited editions, which were later re-released by the Swedish Total Holocaust Records and other small underground labels.

The band's first album, Nocturnal Poisoning (recorded April–September 2001), was released by the Blood Fire Death label in 2002. Southern Lord Records re-released a remastered double-LP version in 2005. In the following years, Xasthur's releases were issued through a variety of labels including Bestial Onslaught Productions, Moribund Records, Profound Lore Records, Battle Kommand Records, Autopsy Kitchen Records, Hydra Head Records, Turanian Honour Productions, Avantgarde Music and Disharmonic Variations.

Xasthur released several split albums with other black metal acts such as Acid Enema, Angra Mainyu, Black Circle, Nachtmystium, Leviathan, Nortt and Striborg; contributed to tribute albums to Burzum, Ildjarn, Judas Iscariot, Katatonia and Manes; and appeared on various compilation albums. Additionally, Conner collaborated with numerous bands including the drone metal project Sunn O))), Mord (with Lugubre members), Celestia and Gravesideservice, and participated on the first album by black metal supergroup Twilight.

On March 26, 2010, Conner announced that he was wholesaling Xasthur's eighth studio album, Portal of Sorrow. He also stated that this would be the last album under the Xasthur moniker, as he was dissolving the Xasthur musical project.[3] Conner cited a lack of motivation, among other aspects, for ending Xasthur; he also stated that there would not be a reunion of this band. Conner remarked that another, non-metal musical project was in the works,[4] later revealed to be called Nocturnal Poisoning, named after his 2002 album. Nocturnal Poisoning released three albums between 2012 and 2014: Other Worlds of the Mind, A Misleading Reality and Doomgrass.

On September 30, 2010, Conner released the first and only music video to date under the Xasthur name, for the song "Walker of Dissonant Worlds" from the To Violate the Oblivious album.[5]

Conner was featured in One Man Metal, a 2012 Noisey documentary,[6] alongside Jef Whitehead of Leviathan and Russell Menzies of Striborg. Despite having been released in 2012, the interviews were conducted in 2009.

On March 5, 2015, Conner announced on the official Nocturnal Poisoning Facebook page that the band were reverting to the name Xasthur. In reclaiming the name, he said: "For five years, Nocturnal Poisoning was locked out and denied every opportunity or open door that Xasthur used to have, or would've had. I worked hard at building up both projects, starting both of them from nothing and nowhere, but I'm taking back what's mine. Xasthur doesn't belong to the greedy hipsters that milk the metal business; it belongs to me and it's mine to take back." He noted that a new Xasthur album would be available in 2016 on the Disharmonic Variations label, and that the current version of the band (including contributions from Nocturnal Poisoning associate members Christopher Hernandez and Robert Nesslin) would be a continuation of Nocturnal Poisoning's acoustic-driven music, saying, "There's no need to rehash old Xasthur songs, the acoustic ones are plenty dark, and sometimes they're not. If you've been listening, reading, thinking and getting it, we could call it Xasthur acoustic/unplugged with, whatever, a country, blues, 'folk', bluegrass, doomgrass or singer/songwriter style and technique in it".[7][8]

On April 16, Xasthur's first-ever live concert appearance was announced, to take place on June 19, 2015 at the Thirst for Light: Cascadian Summer Solstice II festival at Red Hawk Avalon in Pe Ell, Washington.[9]

On September 4, the title for the next Xasthur album was announced as Subject to Change;[10] it was released May 6, 2016 by Disharmonic Variations.

Influences

[edit]

Conner has noted other one-man black metal projects such as Burzum and Graveland[11] as an inspiration for his singular approach: "The main way that Burzum inspired me (contrary to popular belief) was that he could do it all on his own-- why couldn't I?" Although similar in terms of low fidelity production and the wearing of corpse paint, musically and lyrically, the focus of the first edition of Xasthur was usually not on paganism, Satanism or anti-Christian blasphemy – as is common in the black metal genre – but rather on astral projection, darkness, despair, suicide, hate and death.

Live

[edit]

Conner has toured with Sunn O))) and has joined Nachtmystium onstage.[12] Although he had previously stated that he "will always keep Xasthur a band that will not play live",[11] because he would not be able to recreate what he puts "into it",[13] Xasthur's first live concert took place in June 2015.[9]

Xasthur

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Xasthur is a solo music project founded by American musician Scott Conner (also known as Malefic) in 1995 in Alhambra, California. Initially rooted in the depressive black metal subgenre, it is characterized by lo-fi production, atmospheric soundscapes, and themes of isolation, suicide, and misanthropy, drawing influences from the second wave of black metal. Over its evolution, Xasthur has shifted toward dark folk and ambient styles while occasionally revisiting black metal elements, establishing Conner as a prolific figure in the underground extreme music scene. Conner began recording under the Xasthur moniker as a , self-producing early demos and full-length albums that emphasized raw emotional intensity over technical proficiency. The project's debut album, Nocturnal Poisoning (2002), set a template for its bleak, drone-heavy sound, followed by notable releases such as The Funeral of Being (2003), Subliminal Genocide (2006), and Portal of Sorrow (2008), which solidified its within communities. In 2010, Conner disbanded Xasthur to pursue acoustic dark folk under the name Nocturnal Poisoning, reflecting a personal pivot away from the aesthetic. He revived the project in 2015, releasing works like Subject to Change (2016) that blend folk introspection with ambient experimentation. A 2023 album, Inevitably Dark, marked a partial return to roots while maintaining Conner's signature personal and analog recording approach. As of 2024, Xasthur continued this adaptability with the dark folk album Disharmonic Variations, underscoring the project's enduring commitment to unfiltered artistic expression. Throughout its history, the project has remained independent and DIY-oriented, with Conner handling vocals, guitars, drums, and keyboards, often collaborating on splits with like-minded artists such as and Striborg. Xasthur's influence persists in niche metal circles, praised for its raw authenticity despite polarizing opinions on its unconventional style.

Background

Etymology

The name Xasthur is a portmanteau coined by Scott Conner, the project's sole creator, combining elements of "" and "Xenaoth" to form a term evoking otherworldly mysticism. "" derives from H.P. Lovecraft's , where it appears as a malevolent cosmic entity, and is further elaborated in fictional grimoires like the as a demoness who slays victims during sleep. Conner encountered the name in a paperback edition of the , interpreting it as tied to nocturnal dread. In contrast, "Xenaoth" refers to a benevolent celestial spirit described in literature on , an Afro-Caribbean syncretic religion blending Yoruba beliefs with Catholicism, symbolizing elevated spiritual forces. Conner drew this from a text lent by a friend, selecting it to balance the darker connotations of . This deliberate fusion underscores Conner's aim to craft an aura of esoteric duality—demonic and divine—distinct from overt , aligning loosely with Xasthur's explorations of and existential despair.

Musical style

Xasthur's early musical style is characterized by lo-fi, ambient featuring heavy distortion, tremolo-picked guitar riffs, and raw screamed vocals that convey a sense of isolation and . This approach draws from the atmospheric tendencies seen in projects like , prioritizing dissonant, droning soundscapes over traditional speed and aggression. The production was intentionally home-recorded and unpolished, enhancing the project's raw, introspective aesthetic within the depressive suicidal black metal (DSBM) subgenre. Following a hiatus, Xasthur's sound evolved post-2015 to incorporate acoustic guitars, drones, and structures, largely phasing out blast beats in favor of haunting, melody-driven compositions. This shift introduced elements of "doomgrass," blending folk and ambient influences for a more textured, melancholic atmosphere, while retaining core depressive undertones. Production techniques became cleaner and more polished in this revival era, supporting collaborative instrumentation and live-oriented arrangements that moved away from the solo lo-fi constraints of earlier works. Overall, Xasthur's genre classifications transitioned from DSBM to a hybrid of , experimental folk, and , reflecting a broader exploration of atmospheric and acoustic forms. This evolution maintains a consistent emphasis on emotional depth through evolving sonic palettes, from distorted dirges to introspective folk drones.

Influences and themes

Primary musical influences

Xasthur's sound draws heavily from the raw, atmospheric pioneered by , particularly in its lo-fi recording aesthetics and immersive, dissonant instrumentation. Scott Conner has explicitly credited with inspiring his one-man project format, noting that "the main way that inspired me... was that he could do it all on his own—why couldn't I?" This solitary approach enabled the creation of dense, layered tracks featuring tremolo-picked guitars, echoing synths, and reverb-drenched production that mirror 's early albums like , emphasizing isolation and otherworldly dread through minimalistic yet evocative arrangements. Graveland provided an early template for Xasthur's epic structural elements in composition, influencing the use of prolonged, repetitive riffs to build a sense of grandeur and repetition. While Graveland's work often integrates nationalist motifs, Xasthur adapts these structural borrowings purely for sonic expansion, avoiding any ideological content and focusing instead on hypnotic, meandering progressions that enhance the project's depressive atmosphere. Within the depressive suicidal black metal (DSBM) sphere, Xasthur's riffing and ambient textures reference the suicidal thematic intensity found in contemporaries like and Nortt, where slow, dissonant guitar lines and cavernous soundscapes convey emotional desolation. These elements manifest in Xasthur's use of buried, wailing melodies and droning passages that parallel the raw emotional riffing in 's The Tenth Sub Level of Suicide and Nortt's brooding , contributing to a shared subgenre palette of sonic despair. Conner's pre-Xasthur experience in death metal bands also infused ambient influences, incorporating dark, droning guitar tones reminiscent of early .

Lyrical and thematic influences

Xasthur's lyrical content draws heavily from Scott Conner's personal struggles with depression, channeling raw emotional pain into explorations of despair, , and . Unlike conventional , which frequently delves into or , Xasthur's themes center on introspective , hopelessness, and chaos, often evoking a sense of alienation from humanity. These influences stem directly from Conner's life experiences, with serving as a mirror for processing mental illness, , and societal observations rather than fictional narratives or genre tropes. Early works emphasize and contagious despair as pathways to broader destruction, reflecting a depressive suicidal ethos. Over time, the thematic focus evolved toward existential isolation and spiritual detachment, prioritizing self-awareness and personal growth amid ongoing darkness, without endorsing or . This shift aligns with Conner's rejection of ideological rigidity in , despite citing albums such as 's Thousand Swords for their evocation of hate devoid of politics. Xasthur has faced controversy over perceived associations with (NSBM), stemming from musical influences like and attributed past statements by Conner expressing neutrality toward the subgenre.

History

1995–2010

Xasthur was formed in December 1995 in , by Scott Conner, who performs under the Malefic, initially as a solo project after dismissing early band members who had contributed to rehearsal tapes. The project drew from depressive influences, including the raw, atmospheric style of , establishing a foundation in lo-fi production and themes of isolation and despair. Conner's debut full-length album, Nocturnal Poisoning, recorded between April and September 2001, was released in 2002 through independent labels Total , , and Red Stream, marking Xasthur's entry into the underground depressive suicidal (DSBM) scene with its hazy, suffocating soundscapes and anguished vocals. Subsequent releases built on this foundation, including A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors in 2001 on , followed by The Funeral of Being and To Violate the Oblivious in 2003 and 2004, respectively, both on Total Records, which expanded the project's exploration of ambient elements. The 2004 album Telepathic with the Deceased, also on Total , further solidified Xasthur's reputation for innovative, trance-like compositions blending with passages. Xasthur's growth accelerated with reissues and label affiliations; Southern Lord Records released a remastered double-LP edition of Nocturnal Poisoning in 2005, introducing the project to a broader audience within the community. Later albums shifted to , with Subliminal Genocide in 2006 and Defective Epitaph in 2007, the latter featuring session contributions from vocalist Mark Hunter for added atmospheric depth. Collaborations enhanced visibility, including a prominent 2004 split with on , showcasing side-by-side tracks that highlighted Xasthur's ethereal torment against Leviathan's more chaotic aggression, as well as a 2007 split with Striborg on Autopsy Kitchen Records. Additional splits with acts like Nortt and Acid Enema during this era fostered connections in the DSBM underground. As a predominantly solo endeavor, Xasthur occasionally incorporated session musicians to handle elements like keyboards—such as Khaija "Blood Moon" Ausar on the 2005 Nortt split via Southern Lord—or drums in early rehearsals, reflecting challenges in maintaining a consistent live presence amid Conner's reclusive approach and focus on studio experimentation. This solitude contributed to Xasthur's cult status in the DSBM subgenre, where its raw, unpolished recordings and themes of psychic torment pioneered a wave of atmospheric American , influencing peers and earning acclaim for capturing profound emotional desolation without mainstream polish. The period culminated in Portal of Sorrow, released on March 26, 2010, through Disharmonic Variations and later Hydra Head, serving as Xasthur's final album before Conner announced the project's end to pursue acoustic and folk directions under a new moniker.

2010–2015 hiatus

Following the release of Portal of Sorrow on March 26, 2010, Scott Conner announced that the album would mark the end of Xasthur in its form, signaling a deliberate cessation of the project to pursue alternative creative paths. He cited creative exhaustion as a primary factor, describing himself as having grown "very bored" with after extensive exploration, noting that he had "heard everything" and felt there was "nothing that can be done to it, or with it anymore." This burnout extended to a broader sense of stagnation, as Conner explained that continuing under the Xasthur banner was no longer viable "musically or personally," leading him to release the project to regain "a bit of peace of mind." The hiatus was shaped by Conner's recent experiences in the black metal scene, including his involvement with the supergroup Twilight, which recorded its final album Red Sector A in 2010 (released 2014) before disbanding amid internal disputes; these events contributed to his overall fatigue with the genre's demands and interpersonal dynamics. During this five-year period, Conner channeled his energies into the acoustic project Nocturnal Poisoning, debuting with Other Worlds of the Mind in 2012 on his Disharmonic Variations label, followed by A Misleading Reality (2013) and Doomgrass (2014), which fused folk, bluegrass, and doom aesthetics for a more introspective and instrumentally focused sound. He described this shift as therapeutic, stating that music creation served as "therapy" amid the transition, allowing fresh ideas to flow without the constraints of his prior style. No new material was issued under the Xasthur name during the hiatus, though Conner occasionally granted interviews reflecting on his past work and evolution. In these discussions, he portrayed Xasthur as a foundational but ultimately limiting phase, one that "never empowered" him and had become a "dead end" mentally, emphasizing his relief in moving beyond depressive suicidal themes toward personal renewal.

2015–present

In 2015, Scott Conner revived the Xasthur project, shifting its focus from its origins to a and ambient-oriented sound. This revival marked a deliberate evolution toward acoustic and experimental elements, with Conner performing under the Xasthur banner for the first time live on , 2015, at the Complex in , in an unplugged format featuring acoustic guitars and minimal vocals. The project's post-revival output emphasized introspective, folk-infused compositions. Key releases included the full-length album Subject to Change in 2016, which explored gothic country and dark folk themes through raw acoustic arrangements. In 2021, Xasthur collaborated with Casket of Dreams on the split album The Hallucination Tunnels, blending dungeon synth and ambient textures to evoke disorienting, hallucinatory atmospheres. This was followed by Inevitably Dark in 2023, a double album that incorporated atmospheric black metal riffs alongside ambient and death metal influences, delivering a sense of unrelenting anxiety and introspection. Most recently, Disharmonic Variations arrived in 2024, a dark folk record comprising thirteen tracks of solemn, wound-like emotional depth, released via Lupus Lounge. Recent developments have sustained the project's momentum into 2025. In May 2023, Xasthur released the single "A Future to Fear II," a sinister track previewing the themes of dread in Inevitably Dark. The following year, on April 9, 2024, Conner announced the upcoming Disharmonic Variations, accompanied by the single "Messenger of Your Reflection," highlighting the album's bitter and dirt-stained folk style. Additionally, between 2022 and 2024, Xasthur reissued early material on , including the 1997–1999 rehearsals in June 2023 and volumes of splits from 2002–2004 and 2007–2009 in March 2024, making previously obscure recordings more accessible to fans. Xasthur's evolution since 2015 has centered on live performances and experimental folk explorations, contrasting earlier isolation with increased . Conner has prioritized acoustic sets and collaborations, including a show in on July 5, 2025, and a planned 2026 North American tour with featuring dates in Portland (January 22) and (January 23). This period has seen Xasthur address gaps in historical documentation by reissuing archival material and maintaining a steady output of innovative, theme-driven works that prioritize emotional rawness over genre conventions.

Band members

Current members

Scott "Malefic" Conner remains the sole current member of Xasthur, serving as the project's founder, primary , and performer of vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, and all other instruments since its in 1995. As the only constant throughout the band's history, including the 2015 revival under a more acoustic and neofolk-oriented style, Conner maintains full creative and performative control without additional full-time collaborators. This solo structure has defined Xasthur's output in the post-revival era, allowing Conner to explore personal themes through unaccompanied recordings and occasional live appearances.

Former members

Mike "Ritual" Pardi served as Xasthur's drummer and provided additional vocals from 1996 to 1999, contributing to the project's early era. His performances appear on the 1999 with , where he played drums on tracks 3 through 5 and added backing vocals. Pardi's involvement helped shape the raw, lo-fi sound of Xasthur's initial recordings before the project transitioned to a solo endeavor led by Scott Conner (Malefic). Robert Nusslein provided vocals for Xasthur in 2015, contributing to the early post-revival EP Subject to Change. Christopher Hernandez joined Xasthur in 2015 following the project's revival as an acoustic and neofolk-oriented outfit, handling , vocals, harmonica, and bass until 2021. He contributed to several releases during this period, including bass, vocals, harmonica, and guitars on the 2016 EP Subject to Change, as well as vocals and on the 2018 split Self Deficient/Upscale Ghetto and the 2021 album Victims of the Times, where he also assisted with mixing and production. Hernandez's departure in 2021 marked the end of his multi-instrumental role in the band's post-revival acoustic phase. Rachel Roomian joined Xasthur in 2016, contributing guitar, bass, and vocals until 2018 during the acoustic phase. Her involvement supported live performances and recordings in this period. Joe Larriva participated in Xasthur from 2018 to 2021, primarily on , supporting the project's evolving and acoustic direction. His contributions are noted on releases such as the 2021 album Victims of the Times. Larriva is regarded as a former full member due to his involvement in band sessions during this timeframe, though his status post-2021 remains unconfirmed in available records.

Session musicians

Xasthur, as a primarily solo endeavor by Scott Conner (also known as Malefic), has occasionally relied on session musicians to augment recordings, particularly for vocal or atmospheric elements that complement its depressive and later acoustic styles. A prominent example is folk artist , who provided guest vocals on multiple tracks of the 2010 album Portal of Sorrow, infusing the material with her distinctive, melancholic to heighten its themes of sorrow and isolation. This approach allows Conner to maintain creative control while incorporating external talents for specific projects, bridging Xasthur's raw, lo-fi aesthetic with broader sonic textures.

Live performances

Pre-revival attempts

Throughout its early years, Scott Conner, the sole creator behind Xasthur, maintained a firm stance against live performances, viewing the project as a purely studio endeavor due to its solo nature and his personal challenges with social interaction. In a 2006 interview, Conner explicitly stated, "I will always keep Xasthur a band that will not play live. I don’t work well with others for too long, if at all," emphasizing his preference for independent creation inspired by acts like , where he could achieve complex results without collaboration. This position was reinforced by his introverted disposition, as highlighted in the 2012 Noisey documentary One Man Metal, which explored how one-man projects like Xasthur grappled with and anxiety, further solidifying Conner's reluctance to engage publicly. During the , rare attempts to assemble a lineup for potential performances ultimately failed, with Conner noting that efforts to rely on others "never worked out" due to unreliability and his own difficulties in collaboration. No documented live appearances occurred prior to 2015. This resistance aligned with the broader ethos of the underground depressive suicidal (DSBM) scene, where projects often prioritized introspective, bedroom-recorded expressions of alienation over communal live rituals, allowing artists to channel personal torment without the demands of onstage exposure. Xasthur's approach exemplified this trend, focusing on atmospheric depth and emotional rawness in isolation rather than transient performance.

Post-revival shows and tours

Following the project's revival in , Xasthur made its live debut on June 19 at the Thirst for Light: Cascadian Summer Solstice II festival in Pe Ell, Washington, performing an all-neofolk setlist as a trio that emphasized acoustic introspection over the project's earlier roots. Additional performances followed later that year, including an unplugged show on at The Complex in , where the set highlighted raw, folk-infused renditions of material, drawing praise for its punk-like intimacy despite the genre's traditional aversion to stage presence. In 2016, a handful of U.S. dates expanded on this approach, building momentum for broader touring while Conner balanced live commitments with studio work. The project's most extensive post-revival activity came in 2017 with an acoustic North American tour alongside Warren, spanning over a dozen dates from May to June, including stops at venues like Kung Fu Necktie in and Neurolux in Boise. These shows featured stripped-down arrangements of older Xasthur compositions adapted for guitar and vocals, often evoking a haunting, campfire-like atmosphere that contrasted the project's ambient studio evocations. After a period of relative quiet focused on releases like the 2023 double album Inevitably Dark, Xasthur performed a one-off show on April 21, 2024, at The Resident in . In 2025, the project undertook more extensive touring, including select dates supporting on their North American tour from January 8 to February 14 (approximately 8-9 shows across the U.S. and ), followed by additional U.S. performances such as a June 23 set at Across the Moon Tattoos in . These shows remained U.S.- and -centric, with Conner prioritizing a balance between live commitments and studio work. Setlists during this era evolved from predominantly neofolk covers of pre-hiatus tracks—such as acoustic takes on "A Living Hell" or "Loss and Inner Distortion"—to incorporate newer ambient pieces like "Doomy Blues" and "Messenger Darkness," reflecting the project's shift toward immersive, projection-based soundscapes in live settings. By mid-2025, performances maintained this hybrid approach, underscoring Xasthur's ongoing adaptation of its catalog for stage viability.

Nocturnal Poisoning, Xasthur's debut full-length, establishes the project's raw DSBM foundation with fuzzy guitars, layered keyboards, and distorted vocals creating a cold, grim atmosphere influenced by . Strengths lie in its emotional intensity and complex songwriting, with representative tracks including the 15-minute title track for its slow-building epic quality and "Soul Abduction Ceremony" for haunting melodies; reviewers praise its immersive bleakness despite some finding it overrated. The Funeral of Being expands on the debut's atmospheric style with somber, riffs and ambient passages, emphasizing themes of isolation and despair through mid-paced structures. It is lauded for its emotional depth and production that balances rawness with clarity, though some critiques note repetitive elements; key tracks like "The Funeral of Being" highlight tragic melodies. Telepathic with the Deceased introduces more ambient and doom-tinged elements to the DSBM sound, featuring keyboards and painful shrieks that convey nihilistic sorrow, drawing comparisons to early Legions acts. Reviewers commend its instrumentals and lyrical impact, with standout tracks such as "Slaughtered Useless Beings in a Nihilistic Dream" and "Cursed Revelations" for their tragic atmospheres, though a minority view it as bland. Subsequent early albums like To Violate the Oblivious and Subliminal Genocide refine the ambient-DSBM hybrid with increased experimentation in dissonance and melody, maintaining focus on depressive themes; they received solid but mixed acclaim for evolving the sound while preserving emotional core. Later releases such as Defective Epitaph, All Reflections Drained, and Portal of Sorrow explore darker, more abstract ambient territories amid the project's pre-hiatus phase, with progressively lower ratings reflecting divisive shifts toward minimalism over traditional aggression. Post-revival albums beginning with Subject to Change mark a stylistic pivot toward and acoustic introspection, blending folk elements with residual black metal undertones to address personal and societal alienation. Recent works like Victims of the Times, Inevitably Dark, Disharmonic Variations, and the 2025 reissue Doomgrass (originally a Nocturnal Poisoning release) continue this evolution, incorporating chamber folk and experimental structures for a more mature, varied sonic palette.

Split albums

Xasthur has released several split albums, featuring shared EPs with other depressive and ambient artists, where each contributor provides distinct tracks emphasizing themes of isolation and despair. These collaborations highlight Xasthur's raw, atmospheric sound alongside kindred projects. The 2004 split with , released on November 17 by as a limited-edition colored vinyl (500 copies), presents Xasthur's side under the banner Ominous Fates. It includes seven DSBM tracks: "The Eerie Bliss and Torture (of Solitude)" (4:47), "Keeper of Sharpened Blades (and Ominous Fates)" (5:07), "Conjuration of Terror" (7:23), "A Curse for the Lifeless" (4:28), "Achieve Emptiness: Part I" (3:02), "Achieve Emptiness: Part II" (2:19), and a cover of Katatonia's "Palace of Frost" (5:00). Leviathan's contributions complement with dissonant, chaotic , creating a dual exploration of . In 2005, Xasthur collaborated with Danish project Nortt on the split Hedengang / A Curse for the Lifeless, issued by Southern Lord Recordings as a limited vinyl edition (1,000 copies on two colors). Xasthur's portion consists of three tracks delving into desolate magick and loss: "A Curse for the Lifeless" (4:28), "Possession of Desolate Magick" (3:48), and a cover of Ulver's "In the Woods... (Where Have the Wolves Gone?)" (4:18). Nortt's side offers slow, funereal dirges, enhancing the shared ambient dread. The 2007 split with Australian act Striborg, released in June by Autopsy Kitchen Records as a limited clear 7" vinyl (800 copies), features a single track from Xasthur: "A Tortured Shallow Grave" (6:12), a haunting, lo-fi piece evoking and torment. Striborg's "The Epitome of " (5:45) mirrors this with misanthropic rawness, forming a concise exchange of misanthropic intensity. These early splits were reissued in compiled form on Xasthur's via Lupus Lounge, with Vol. 1: Splits 2002–2004 (March 29, 2024) incorporating alternative mixes from the and Nortt eras, such as "Doomed by Howling Winds" and "A Curse for the Lifeless," alongside other obscure material; Vol. 2: Splits & Bonus 2007–2009 (also 2024) includes "A Tortured Shallow Grave" from the Striborg release and tracks from additional splits like Cryostasium. These volumes preserve and remaster the collaborative essence for modern audiences.

EPs and singles

Xasthur's EPs and singles represent concise explorations of the project's atmospheric and depressive themes, often serving as bridges between full-length albums or standalone expressions of Scott Conner's evolving sound. Early releases in the captured the raw, lo-fi intensity of the band's initial phase, while post-revival digital singles in the reflect a more polished, experimental edge tied to broader album eras without comprising full-length works. The following table summarizes key EPs and singles, focusing on official standalone short-form releases:

These releases highlight Xasthur's shift from cassette-era DIY aesthetics to modern , with early EPs emphasizing buried vocals and droning guitars, and recent singles incorporating ambient dissonance for thematic previews of contemporary works.

Demos and rehearsals

Xasthur's demos and rehearsals document the project's nascent phase as a solo endeavor by Scott Conner, initiated in 1995 as a personal outlet for depressive experimentation rather than commercial release. These informal recordings, captured in home settings without band collaboration or performance ambitions, focused on raw sonic exploration and atmospheric riffing central to the genre's underground ethos. The 1997–1999 Rehearsals stand as the earliest documented material, comprising lo-fi, live-style sessions that emphasize primitive structures through distorted guitars and rudimentary percussion. Mostly instrumental, the ten tracks exhibit a dirty, unpolished quality typical of second-wave influences, with raspy vocals limited to two pieces performed by Conner alongside an anonymous contributor. Originally private tapes, they were reissued digitally via on June 23, 2023, and on limited-edition vinyl by Prophecy Productions later that year, preserving their archival value as foundational sketches. Around 2000, Conner produced additional unpublished tapes that continued this developmental trajectory, honing the project's signature blend of bleak atmospheres and tremolo-picked melodies absent any distribution plans. These efforts underscored Xasthur's evolution from solitary ideation to structured compositions, subtly informing the thematic and sonic groundwork of the 2002 debut album Nocturnal Poisoning.

Compilations

Xasthur's compilations primarily consist of retrospective collections of early split recordings and contributions to albums honoring influential acts. These releases highlight the project's archival efforts, particularly in the post-revival era, by curating previously scattered material for broader accessibility. In 2024, Xasthur issued Vol. 1: Splits 2002-2004 via and Prophecy Productions, compiling alternative mixes and tracks from early split releases with bands such as Acid Enema, Angra Mainyu, , and Nortt. Notable inclusions are "Doomed by Howling Winds (Alternative Mix)" and "A Curse for the Lifeless (Alternative Mix)," remastered to preserve the atmospheric, ambient-infused style while providing high-fidelity access to material originally available only on limited cassettes and CDs. This double-LP set, available in black and blue vinyl editions, underscores the enduring demand for Xasthur's pre-2010 output. Following in 2023, Vol. 2: Splits & Bonus 2007-2009 extends this archival series, aggregating later split tracks and bonus material from collaborations during Xasthur's transitional phase toward more experimental sounds. Tracks such as "The Eye Upon the (Part II)" from the split with Striborg and "A Tortured Shallow Grave" from the Crimson Moon collaboration are featured, alongside rarities like "Torment" and "Ominous Fates." Released as a double vinyl in black and transparent blue variants, it captures the project's evolution amid Conner's stylistic shifts, with digital and CD options broadening distribution. Xasthur also contributed to several high-profile tribute compilations, paying homage to black metal pioneers. On Gathered Under the Banner of Strength and Anger: A Homage to Ildjarn (2004, Pestilence Records), Xasthur covered "Chill of the Night (Returning)," adapting Ildjarn's minimalist aggression into a droning, depressive interpretation. For - The Tribute (2005, Ash Nazg Productions), the project delivered "Erblicket Die Töchter Des Firmaments," a faithful yet ambient rendition emphasizing Burzum's early rawness. Similarly, on To the Triumph of Evil: A Tribute to (2006, ISO666), Xasthur's take on "The Cold Earth Slept Below" infuses the original's epic melancholy with layered distortion and isolationist themes. These appearances, limited to one track each on and vinyl formats, reflect Xasthur's place within the U.S. scene's interconnected tribute culture.

Collaborations

Scott Conner, known as Malefic, joined the black metal supergroup Twilight upon its formation in 2005, serving as a core member alongside musicians from bands such as , , and Krieg. He contributed guitar, synthesizers, and vocals to the project's output during its active period through 2009, including the debut Twilight (2007) and the farewell release Monument to Time's End (2009), which featured complex, atmospheric compositions blending raw aggression with experimental elements. In 2021, Xasthur teamed up with dungeon synth project Casket of Dreams for the collaborative full-length The Hallucination Tunnels, marking their first joint album after over two decades of parallel paths in the underground scene. Released on May 14 via Appalachian Noise Records in CD and LP formats (with cassette editions on Ancient Meadow), the 40-minute record delves into "funeral synth"—a haunting offshoot of dungeon synth—across eight tracks like "The Crystal Curse," "Disorienting Within Casket Walls," and "Elixir of Vampiric Minds," evoking discordant, ghastly atmospheres rooted in their shared history.

As Nocturnal Poisoning

Nocturnal Poisoning is a solo acoustic project founded by Scott Conner, known as Malefic from , in 2010 shortly after he announced the end of his primary endeavor. The project emerged as an outlet for Conner's exploration of dark folk and bluegrass elements, marking a deliberate shift from the layered, atmospheric of Xasthur toward simpler, instrumental-driven compositions centered on fingerpicked guitar. During its run from 2010 to 2015, Nocturnal Poisoning issued three full-length albums, all self-released or through independent labels in limited editions. The debut, A Misleading Reality (2012), features brooding acoustic tracks that evoke melancholy through sparse arrangements and subtle percussion. This was followed by (2013), expanding on ethereal, doom-tinged folk motifs, and Doomgrass (2014, ), which incorporates more pronounced bluegrass influences like and alongside Conner's guitar work, creating a murky, treacherous (reissued under Xasthur in 2025). No splits, EPs, or singles were produced under the moniker, keeping the output focused on these core albums. Thematically, Nocturnal Poisoning overlaps with Xasthur in its emphasis on isolation, despair, and nocturnal , but it adopts a more primitive aesthetic via unadorned acoustics, eschewing and vocals for depth—Conner has described it as technically challenging yet mellow compared to his earlier drumming-heavy efforts. Primarily a one-person operation, the project occasionally featured guest contributions, such as vocals from Robert Nesslin, but remained under Conner's direct control. Nocturnal Poisoning was discontinued in 2015 when Conner opted to fold its acoustic direction back into the revived Xasthur banner, motivated by label disputes and a preference for the original name's established recognition. This post-hiatus pivot allowed Conner to continue similar explorations without fragmenting his further.

Guest appearances

Scott Conner, known as Malefic, has made several notable guest contributions to other artists' recordings, primarily in the realms of , drone, and during the 2000s. These appearances highlight his distinctive vocal style and instrumental versatility, often enhancing the atmospheric and depressive qualities of the host projects. His most prominent early collaboration came on Sunn O)))'s album Black One (2005), where he provided vocals, guitar, and keyboards on the track "Báthory Erzsébet," contributing to the album's oppressive drone- fusion; legend has it he recorded his vocals while locked in a casket to amplify the sense of . The following year, Conner delivered haunting vocals on "Coma Mirror" for the Sunn O))) and split EP Angel Coma (2006), a dense, ritualistic drone piece that drew from sessions related to Black One. In 2009, Conner appeared on two releases by other acts. On Manes' retrospective compilation Solve et Coagula, he supplied vocals for the second part of the title track, a brooding neofolk-infused piece originally from the band's 1990s demos, sharing the composition with Shining's Niklas Kvarforth on the first half. Similarly, he contributed guest vocals and keyboards to "Call of the Redwood Forest" on Striborg's Perceiving the World with Hate, adding layers of eerie ambience to the Australian project's raw depressive black metal sound.
