The "Incultus" EP by Xanthochroid is one of the most beautiful, crushing, dark, and well-composed metal albums of our time. It combines an unparalleled sense for composition with brutal technicality and an unmistakably dark, beautiful, and unique atmosphere. This is but the first chapter in the Xanthochroid Legend, the full length "Blessed He With Boils" is due out in late 2012; then we will truly see what this band is capable of. Don't be caught off guard, purchase "Incultus" and prepare your ears for the might that will be unleashed at the full-length release.
