Background information about 'Subject To Change'

What happens when a black metal mastermind decides to completely reinvent himself? Xasthur delivers the answer with "Subject To Change", a breathtaking artistic metamorphosis that sees Scott Conner trading blast beats for banjo strings and tremolo picking for haunting folk melodies. This ninth full-length isn't just an album – it's a fearless leap into uncharted territory that somehow feels like the most natural progression imaginable.

Conner's journey into dark Americana territory is nothing short of mesmerizing. The minimalistic approach that defined his black metal era remains intact, but now serves a completely different master. These twelve tracks paint a vivid portrait of America's forgotten corners, where broken dreams and shattered hopes create their own twisted symphony. From the opening despair of "Holding Yourself Hostage" to the closing melancholy of "Share The Poverty", every moment feels like a transmission from the darker side of the American experience. The acoustic guitars weave tales of isolation and desperation with the same intensity that once fueled his most devastating black metal compositions.

For fans of:
Chelsea Wolfe, Wovenhand, 16 Horsepower, Swans, Current 93
