Ominous Fates - BLACK Vinyl

"Ominous Fates" contains all four XASTHUR songs from the legendary 2004 split EP "Xasthur/Leviathan" plus three bonus tracks from the Americans' archive. The split EP with LEVIATHAN is still considered a milestone of US black metal, its raw, dark and oppressive material still embodying the essence of both bands. Singer and multi-instrumentalist Scott Conner founded XASTHUR in 1995 in California, USA. Starting out as a dark black metal project in the wake of the Scandinavian Second Wave, XASTHUR quickly cultivated a reputation as pioneers and spearheads of US black metal, which the band maintained over the course of nine albums, numerous split singles, EPs and occasional demos. In 2010, Scott closed this first band chapter by announcing the end of XASTHUR.
