Welcome to album review Tuesdays here on the channel and tonight we are having a look at an absolute underground classic with Xasthur-Defective Epitaph. Released in 2007 on Hydra Head Records. So before we get into the review im going to give you guys some background history on Xasthur. Xasthur was a black metal one man project from Alhambra, California. The project was born in 1995. The "band" consisted of a single member whose name is Scott Conner, better known by his pseudonym Malefic.
Xasthur was formed in December 1995, in Alhambra California, after Conner played in various Californian local bands, at first, the band started to record in a house with an unstable lineup. A tape was recorded containing 10 songs, this tape was distributed to friends and close people to Conner. It is believed to have been destroyed, although some of these songs appear on posterior releases of the band.

During the recording of the split with the band Orosius, a friend of Conner from the band Draconis recorded backing vocals and drums, he acted under the name of Ritual, after this Xasthur started to act as a one man project, although Blood Moon appeared on the albums A Curse for the Lifeless & Xasthur.

Before recording Xasthur's first full lengtg Nocturnal Poisoning (2002), earlier works were limited to an amount of copies, and after this some works were re-released by the label Total Holocaust Records.

After the release of his first album, Xasthur appeared in splits with bands such as Acid Enema, Nachtmystium , Angra Mainyu, Leviathan and Nortt. During this time, Conner joined the Black Metal supergroup Twilight.

Xasthur's eighth studio album, Portal of Sorrow. He also announced that this would be the last album under the Xasthur moniker, as he stated that he was dissolving the Xasthur musical project. Malefic cited a lack of motivation, among other aspects, for him ending Xasthur; he also stated that there will not be a reunion of this band. Malefic remarked that another musical project was in the works, this one not being a metal project.

The new project is called Nocturnal Poisoning, named after his 2002 album. The first album is planned to be released in 2013.

Malefic released the first, and only, music video under the Xasthur name, for the song "Walker of Dissonant Worlds" from the To Violate the Oblivious album on September 30, 2010.
