Xasthur Pre-Order Still Available.

The pre-order for Xasthur's "A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors" is still available through Hydra Head Records until January 29th. (Tuesday).

Hydra Head has this to say about the album...
"Recorded in 2000/01 and initially issued on a mere 150 CD-Rs, "A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors" is a crucial transitional release in Xasthur’s blackened oeuvre, the turning point at which mastermind Malefic was thrust into the unenviable (but ultimately more satisfying) position of running Xasthur as a one-man operation for the first time. As such, "A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors" is the accursed genesis of Xasthur as you know it/him today: cold, black and solitary, the sequestered misanthrope with a heart full of hate and no “band members” to impair his bleak and terrifying visions..."

"Hydra Head’s deluxe 2xCD package—the last-ever edition of "A Gate Through oodstained Mirrors" —includes that definitive version of the album in all its miserable mono-aural glory, complete with Burzum (“Black Spell Of Destruction”)
and Mütiilation (“Eternal Empire Of Majesty Death”) covers and a six-track bonus disc of unreleased material from the same era. It’s impressive, we know—but let’s just say we’re doing our part to keep hate alive."


The double disc also comes with a t-shirt featuring Xasthur artwork originally created at about the same time as the album in 2000/01. The shirt will become a permanent feature in the Hydra Head Records store, but not until after this pre-order is over.



You can PRE-ORDER IT HERE

Hurry through because they only have size SMALL and LARGE left in the t-shirts.
