”XASTHUR”’s "Disharmonic Variations" is a hauntingly hypnotic journey through depressive Black Metal. The album, fully instrumental, weaves dissonant yet captivating melodies, immersing the listener in a world of atmospheric tension. Tracks like "The Beginning of a New End" and "Mirrors Made of Misery" blend acoustic elements with the ethereal and chaotic, offering moments of meditative reflection amidst the dissonance. Though the production occasionally lacks clarity in its more intricate sections, the album excels in creating a dark, introspective soundscape, cementing it’s place as a master of depressive Black Metal.
