lyrics
Until the day romanticized
Brittle bones unmask my thinly veiled intentions
The cold constricts the ego of a burdened soul
Drunk on its own beauty and contentment
Every glance askance
Disaffected from afar
Disown, detesting every last unworthy one
Civilized I come yet above it I rise
Born or molded to be of the kind that abhor
If oddity is power
A living god am I
Overman: a living parchment
Poised for scribe’s written word
Reincarnate Byronic immortality
Transfigured everlasting
To drink of prose fermenting
Embalmed in ink, eternity stained
In my name forever reign
[Jake Solo]
Many blithe fellows cast an unhappy shadow
Flaunting power atop the chain
To be mad as a beast feels the most natural thing
And thus, the sigil dries upon
The sojourner’s deification
[Jake Solo]
[Aaron solo]

Music: Jake Hackett
This album is raw emotion from start to finish. The guitar work is great, but I think this album really shines in its vocals. You can hear the emotional anguish in his voice, highly recommended. -Jake Astringency
This album is amazing, evil-sounding death metal. The production is raw, but never at the expense of the music. The lead guitar work is especially memorable. -Cameron Astringency
This album is an awesome callback to 90's symphonic black metal, and the production offers a modern take on classic sounds, like Emperor and Dissection. A must listen for fans of the genre! -Aaron Astringency
i checked out bands coming to my town, and xoth were on the list. at first i thought they were cheesy since i only liked metal to be deep, dark, and atmospheric .
i did enjoy the technical complexity, so i gave them another chance. i equated shredding with jockishness (ugh), but i now see it as a creative choice. i just had to approach it on my own terms, and xoth was the perfect gateway for this. they really opened up a new world for me. quasiotter
Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire
Channeling philosophical quandaries into cavernous death metal, the Australian trio turn modern power struggles into an aural advantage. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 13, 2022
