Album Notes & Community Reviews

American extreme metal solitary Malefic utilized real acoustic drums for the very first time in Xasthur's studio history on 'Defective Epitaph'. The remarkably bleak recording maintains the project's signature dense, echoing layers of sorrowful keyboards and agonizing vocal distortion.
