Hydrahead, September 12th.

Who's looking foward to this?

NFU · August 22nd, 2006, 07:54 PM

i think xasthur gets perpetually predictable, but hopefully this next album wont be the case. im looking forward to it with extremely mild interest.

i hope malefic has improved the drums and the production on this one. if he has, we might be in for a treat

i put a song from 'oblivious' onto a mix cd project a few years ago for my 70 year old history teacher who grew up listening to jethro tull and various german nazi-era music. she liked it a lot. oh and im sort of interested in hearing the new one.

Wake me up when Opeth's new album is announced

The production has been improving steadily. Hopefully working with Twilight and Sunn has inspired Malefic to try some more new things this time around. I'll pick this one up regardless, I guess.

Subliminal Genocide has a lesser production level than what To Violate The Oblivious did, but it is a good album. In some ways quite different from the rest of the discography, but I must say that To Violate The Oblivious imo is still the definitive Xasthur release.

Tom is right - the lo-fi aspect of xasthur is great, but I do feel that it suffers from the muffled production as the music is already minimal itself.

Perhaps with the final release of Subliminal Genocide the production will approach that of To Violate The Oblivious, which could open up the album more.

And how do I know what Subliminal Genocide sounds like you ask? I've had it for ages
