he's looking not so much for BM as music with the sonic layering and doomy ambience of xasthur imo

"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

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.

Can we have a split EP with Scott Walker?

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.

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.

Thank you! I've got some catching up to do then, not heard of Nocturnal Poisoning before. Doesn't bode well though tbh.
