Atmospheric DSBM band Xathrites, showering down the blades of beauty through the wilderness of Iraq, has inked a deal with Sliptrick Records.
The band was formed in 2005 to play raw black metal music. Then there was war, and it was like living in a ghost city; every day experiencing the grief of a loved one's death. The change was obvious already by walking down the street. The air was hard to breathe, the sky turned grey, and the atmosphere of depression showed on every face. It seemed like no one would ever be happy again. Xathrites focused all its sadness, hate, grief and depression into its music; the riffs sounded more doomy and sad, the lyrics talked about those themes, and the band turned to depressive black metal.
The group - scarred by the war, was forced to flee the country. Given the danger that creating this type of music represented in its cultural environment, the band was on hold for years. In 2013, the first self-produced album got released, whit over a million views before Youtube censored it due to its themes. The notoriety of Xathrites exploded, but the difficult conditions in which the band's founder lived prevented him from moving forward. Another well-received album was released in 2020, while the latest, No Room For Another Wound, saw the light of day in November 2022 after a new line-up formation and, compared to the previous albums, with a higher production quality.
No Room For Another Wound will get released again via Sliptrick Records in 2023; check on it (again)... Link
