'malignant prophecy' on defective epitaph is an amazing song. might be his best after 'arcane and misanthropic projection', maybe alongside 'the prison of mirrors'

Title track on All Reflections Drained still sounds like Serge Gainsbourg backed by Einsturzende Neubauten. Seriously odd record, and I imagine there should be another one along soon.

Listening to Telepathic... for the first time right now and loving it. Anyone want to recommend similar stuff (I've got zero knowledge on this type of music)?

If you don't get many answers here, you may have more luck over at the Rolling Metal Thread 2010 thread.

If you're looking for more stuff about black metal in general, ILM's talked about it quite a lot:
Black Metal!black metal primerFavorite First Wave Norwegian Black Metal Act.
(You can also just search 'black metal' for more threads.)

he's looking not so much for BM as music with the sonic layering and doomy ambience of xasthur imo
― acoleuthic, Saturday, 3 April 2010 21:39 (fourteen years ago) link
"this type of music" is pretty vague — I imagine that, if he likes Xasthur, there'd be some other black metal he'd like too. but you're also right, i think he'd be into some non-BM that sounds similar too

in his case i would recommend 'subliminal genocide' and 'defective epitaph' right off the bat
― acoleuthic, Saturday, 3 April 2010 21:48 (fourteen years ago) link
NORTT! i recommend NORTT. and yeah subliminal is really, really good. and i'm not a xasthur fan at all.

Anyone digging Portal of Sorrow? It's the Malefic / Marissa Nadler album.

Anyone seen Xasthur live? He's playing in Seattle soon and, though I support his growth, I'm not interested to see him in 'doomgrass' mode.
― Yelploaf, Friday, 2 December 2016 20:19 (seven years ago) link
Haven't seen him but he is definitely in doomgrass mode on this tour.

Tf is 'doomgrass'?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 2 December 2016 21:48 (seven years ago) link
Doomgrass is the melancholy, finger-picked acoustic style that he's doing now. It's his term. He's put out a couple albums in that style under the name Nocturnal Poisoning. Good for him. Not for me.
― Yelploaf, Friday, 2 December 2016 22:11 (seven years ago) link
Thank you! I've got some catching up to do then, not heard of Nocturnal Poisoning before. Doesn't bode well though tbh.
