Xasthur is an American one-man ambient black metal band formed in 1995 by Scott Conner, who goes by the pseudonym “Malefic”. Although similar in terms of low-fi production and the wearing of corpse paint, musically and lyrically Xasthur’s focus is not on paganism, satanism or anti-christian blasphemy – as is common in the genre – but rather on astral projection, darkness, despair, suicide, hate, and death.

Malefic has toured with Sunn O))) and has joined Nachtmystium on stage, but stated in an interview for Pitchfork Media that he “will always keep Xasthur a band that will not play live.”

Malefic states Burzum and Mütiilation as main influences.

When you over use gay jokes and vulgarity people become desensitized and society starts to accept faggotry as O.K. While this could potentially increase the number of people with HIV/AIDS, it's not a big enough increase to outweigh the social liberties your idiocy will echo. Fuck you for making the world a better place.

The true Xasthur doesn't make music, fool. The idea of Xasthur causes dementia and psychosis in people who have heard it's name. They then transverse the gate through bloodstained mirrors into the realm of bleak necrotic paleness. When the true Xasthur comes the 'music' you hear is much like a deathrattle, signifying your imminent self-termination. All those albums for sale are just a failed scheme to invoke the true Xasthur in scene kids who think it's fashionable to play depressed. ONLY MEGAN MEIER IS REAL!
