About Xasthur

Xasthur is the brainchild of Scott Conner, an American musician born in 1978. Known for pioneering the depressive black metal genre, Xasthur began as a one-man project in 1995. Conner's work is characterized by its bleak, lo-fi production and dark, introspective themes, making a significant impact in the underground metal scene.

Xasthur's lyrics delve deep into the human psyche, often exploring themes of inner turmoil and conflict, overwhelming grief, and spiritual suffering. With a focus on mental self-reflection and emotional despair, Xasthur's music paints a haunting picture of existential struggle, resonating deeply with listeners who grapple with similar emotions.
