Xasthur - Defective Epitaph
Monday, 17. September 2007, 16:38:56
A closer inspection of the Dis-order webshop reveals that Xasthur's new albumn "Defective Epitaph" is also set for a September 28th release. I believe this is a co-release (European/American) between Hydrahead and Displeased. As mentioned here before, this album will feature acoustic drums for the first time as well as a cello.Tracklist:New masterpiece of loathing miserable bleakness !
The CD can be preordered from Dis-order now, and probably soon from Hydrahead.1. Souless Elegy 02:42 2. Purgatory Spiral 04:29 3. Cemetery Of Shattered Masks 06:03 4. Malignant Prophecy 05:40 5.

there's a 2xCD version being released by Daymare in Japan. the 2nd disc contains about 30min of unreleased (and never to be released other than on this Japanese release...so they say) material. they're taking orders for it now and it's about $32ppd (to the US). it ships on 09.21.2007.

Just picked it up...kinda weird and spooky...less riff-oriented than Subliminal, I think..

I concur - to me SG was the razor blade you slit your wrist with, while DE is your reflection in the mirror when you feel like crap. Good stuff though, again.

Ummm...the drums sound just...piss poor? In both sound and instrument skill. If it's this or drum machine I'll take drum machine. I understand some BM has the whole 'high school demo' feel on purpose, but this is pretty hard to swallow at points.
