XUL//EXCELSI Jyt jou eie radio gebou met parte wat op die mensdom se laaste vullishoop gevind is. In die see van vormlose geruis vind jy die swak sein van ‘n opgeslote doemprofeet in ‘n ondergrondse toetsinrigting-kom-bomskuiling wat ‘n lewe se jolyt, woede, ekstase en hartskeur in klank omskep vir sy eie argiewe, sonder hoop dat enige oor kan hoor of verstaan. Die black metal joernaal van ‘n siel wat vrywillig agtergebly het na die wegraping. ‘n Onderdrukkende opheffing waarop net stilte kan volg. Favorite track: Side A.

TemazroS Multi-instrumentalist 𝐃𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 dishes up the hideous brand of black metal that seperates the diehards from the wimps. There's nothing even remotely accessible here. And at times the pulsing disarray of blackening drone gets downright dirty. Elaborate yet never boring, these pulsating reverberations explore several shades of unlight, through which 𝐗𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭 moves like a hidden predator.

Boris von Boris Suffocating and bleak. It's like Ildjarn and Moëvöt had a demented, deformed baby. Favorite track: Side A.

Choco Latte Xothist lull you in, and then they bury you alive. I love the way they layer everything with disorienting vocals, buzz saw guitars, mechanical sounds, and pounding drums. Favorite track: Side B.

Grimmrobe One of the best black metal bands to emerge from the voided womb. Favorite track: Side A.

about

Harrowing and disorienting ambient black metal.

Originally released in 2011 to 46 copies on cassette by BLEAK ENVIRONMENT, the debut offering from XOTHIST showcases mechanical black ambient that appears to draw influence from acts such as DARKSPACE and XASTHUR, while creating a feel that is completely unique unto itself.

Re-mastered in 2012 by Xothist specifically for this release. Limited to 330 copies. Copies come with patches until they don't.

Black metal psychedelia at its finest. Eerie, unnerving yet comforting and smoothly flowing at the same time, the beginning of SKAPHE. liltito

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

There is a disturbing turned-inside-out feeling to the music of Skáphe which I am addicted to. Though the voice sounded more inhuman on the debut, their music keeps its unreal shape. Entleiber
