Biography
American death metal band formed in San Francisco in 2009, centred on vocalist Daniel Butler and guitarist and vocalist Leila Abdul-Rauf. Vastum's five albums for #20 Buck Spin#, from 'Carnal Law' (2011) to 'Inward to Gethsemane' (2023), pair slow, grinding riffs and dual vocals with lyrics on sexuality and abjection influenced by Georges Bataille. 'Hole Below' (2015) brought wide critical attention, and the band remain a leading Bay Area underground act.
