Xasthur — Victims Of Time
A reborn from depressive-suicidal black metal to acoustic neofolk.

The mastermind Scott Conner captures the vacant stares of opiate addicts, hungry eyes of the homeless and dispossessed, the endless horizons of the Midwest, rain dripping mountain forests as well as urban nightmares of the American rust belt.
