I love how this video isn't about stereotypical black metal visuals like snowy forests and all that typical shit. it's about homeless people on the streets that give you an idea of what it's like to be trapped, wounded and with nowhere to go. this is why Xasthur always stands out among all the other black metal bands that try to be just like each other.
xashtur is really different then others, they just racist, bad guys. But Xashtur is trying to understand universe and humanity's pain.. not like other unsympathetics..
***** have you ever seen the movie "Begotten"? amazing, dark film. black and white, coarse grainy film, no dialogue. gorgeous misery. check it out if you already have not.
I reside in Phoenix. I see this everyday. At first the prejudice hits you, "Homeless...stay away from me!" and then the human soul that is just takes over and says "They're people just like me and you...They had homes, jobs, and families once. That could be me tomorrow." Seeing and living with the despair and hopelessness they struggle with really hits me hard sometimes. I look around and see BMW, McDonalds, Coca Cola, etc. all around. And just a few feet away stands someone far far less off than I. It does gnaw at you sometimes.
I know this comment is 9 years too late but I agree with you. It makes me contemplate what life really means why I see people suffer so immensely or if an afterlife even exists for them to be given another chance. Makes me wonder…
@@vasiliaskobliska3242not 9 years too late. Some how 9 years later and late at night living in Middle Tennessee now, I revisited this video. The feeling I had when I originally posted that comment is as relevant right now I'm typing this as it was then.
I also live in phoenix, I know this comment is old but nothing has changed. I was nearly homeless after a bad experience with luck and when I talk to my friends about it they STILL wanna say “well most homeless people are just lazy”… well than why does homelessness massively increase when the economy goes down? Why does homelessness get worse when we prioritize the rights of landlords and housing companies? I get very angry when people resort to mindless classism it makes me sick how little empathy some people have
I have such a pointless life, they've just fired me from a job I really enjoyed, I worked on it because it made me happy, I saved some money but I really enjoyed it, now I'm unemployed again, it will be hard to find another job that satisfies me again, I didn't do it for the money but because it made me very happy. I'm sick and tired of trying and trying, I'm almost 30 years old and I feel like I'm 70. I live with my mom and i can't help her too much as I wish, she's not angry but I believe she expected something else from me. Right now I have no expectation for life, I don't want to eat, sleep, go out or anything else, I don't have energy to go and seek for another job once again. Every single day I think why am I living? What's the point? I don't like people, I don't like society and I have no friends at least for help, so I can find a job that makes me happy again, I don't want to spend my life something I don't enjoy. I don't even have the balls to kill myself!
My friend. My dear friend. I wish you the best. I really hope you turn for the better. In the meantime, consider watching some of Prof Jordan Peterson's lecture videos. It really helps trust me. That man is good for motivation. Real true sincere words of encouragement.
Dude, I totally fucking feel you. I'm 29 and but I feel so fucking old. I used to have so much hope, ambition and passion but that is all gone now.I feel like cynical, sad and bitter old man. I have turned into a walking fucking cringy farce. I had a good job a while back... but my mental state kept deteriorating so I came to the conclusion that the only morally correct thing was to leave. I didn't want to end up killing myself or having a complete breakdown midproject and leave my friends with tons additional work and the company looking like a place that hired mororns. After that I was unemployed for a long while... and I'm a software developer with a fucking degree in CS and I couldn't get a fucking job anywhere. And we CS graduates have the best fucking job market the world has ever seen... or so I have been told. Life just feels so wasted now. I used to have so much potential, there used to be so many options, I was born with every fucking door opened. Well, I'm still a white man in an industrialized society so I guess the doors are still open, but I have lost all the will and energy to even consider going trough them. Sorry for the fucking rant. Don't know why I wrote it. Hope you are doing better. Peace.
I have been in that boat quite a few times, even twice in the last 2 years. You will eventually find something enjoyable worth your time. This life is short enough as it is. My only brother died in homelessness so I realize how shitty existing can be.
This song and video reminds me so much of when I was a full on Black Metal kid in my highschool years. Going on long walks around my hometown alone, with a bunch of dark thoughts running through my head. Weird phase of my life when I think back on it.
Do you ever miss those times? I had similar phase, and i have this weird longing about it. I mean why? I was deebly depressed and felt like total scum stain failure, tried to en my self etc... Still i have nostalgic feel about all of it. This indie game night ind the woods brought it all back. That and this song.
Look into eastern orthodoxy, maybe you find your home there. I have abandoned god long time ago but right now Im going through some bed shit and it seems like I have nowhere to turn to.
Hope you found your home, friend. I see someone else here recommending the Orthodox church and while I'm still an inquirer it's done me a lot of good. Check out Death To The World and ROCOR, may God bless you with spiritual peace.

Very interesting concept. Typically Black Metal videos deal with forests and misanthropy but this is a whole other kind of misery being reflected, the misery of urban life. It's an interesting American take on the genre. It's like the white man version of "fuck da police".

Been watching this clip for several years. When I was younger I liked it even if it is not "typical black metal" as others have mentioned, but only this. Just liked it. Being 30 years old now and still watching it, I feel such a deep pain in my chest. Every day I see people like these on the streets of my town and so many including me bypassing them. "Oh, he's crazy", "Oh he is a drug addict", "Oh, he is lazy and doesn't wanna work". These are some stereotypical thoughts of the so called normal people. Is it very weird that I, a person with a house and access to food and clean water, feel like I have to commit suicide just to express how sorry I feel for them being in a situtation like this while most people like me complain for such stupid things every day? I feel like a walker of the shittiest realities. And I haven't seen not even the 1/100th of the world's shit.
This was one of my favorite Xasthur songs from way back then. Been almost 10 years. All the depression and dark days from then are a blur nowadays. It's cool to see Scott making music even though he moved on from Black Metal.
I love the video. No reason to offend the people who made it. I guess this is exactly as how they wanted it. It's kinda atmospheric that the camera is shaking because this highlights the fact that this is reality. There ARE people like in the video.
xasthur is a genius. Best wishes to him. I believe he is the only one that he is not playing the drum, guitar or bass, he is playing loneliness, maybe his music is the only thing that keeps him sane...
You I understand the poetic nature of saying “we exist for nothing” and all but I would say that the fact is that we can all connect to this video and feel the darkness sadness and ironic beauty of it and if nothing else that is a reason to live... for great music that can make you truly feel something in a world of insanity
I’ve watched this a lot over a long period of time. Started when I was doing super well, thru living in my car, to now doing great on paper. It’s all the same man. You got the light or you don’t you know? I really think about ditching everything and riding the rails. Making a long line of hobbit holes to wander along.
great track and video.. so dark.. changes your perspective.. makes you think from the point of view of homeless and how they ended up like that.. track and video together creates an atmosphere which shares their struggle, misery and dispair with you.. as well as scot's really enjoyed this..
***** at last a real different visual approach of that particular musical genre !!! smart ,sensitive , human !!! keep on doing it , you' re definately in the right direction !!!
This video is absolutely genius. Scott is someone who actually expresses true feeling and reflects himself through their music. I know he doesnt want this from anyone, but i really feel sorry for him. I understand the place he is coming from to a certain extent. That place is directly reflected in his sound.

This hits hard . Intense the dispare . How can people feel hatred to the brokenness of human beings suffering. Music deeply moving .Greatful to see this reality raw keeps my heart in the right place compassionate and doing simple things daily to help is this epidemic / pandemic. 💔🧠
when i hear this i think of a knight clad in beaming beaten armor riding a black horse sword drawn glinting in the smoke filtered light head first in to an onslaught of wretched sin and evil. sin that seeks to devour a mind. When i see homeless people, i mean any human being truly suffering with honesty and devoured by bad circumstance or choices, i see them, metaphorically, as a soul clad in armor sword drawn attempting to be as honest as they can be with themselves and the world every day. People think homeless have it bad emprisoned by their minds or drugs, the ones who really have it bad are those consumed by a consumeristic culture stuck on their fucking cell phones all day, no eye contact, wanting to be told by every stimulus that they are outwardly beautiful and if you do A and B you will be loved, afraid of not being accepted, not being accepted like a homeless person.
I want to see a Malefic Video Interview!!!! Malefic is a musical genius and is to be admired. Good Work!! Definitely eager to see what he comes up with next.
God this song is so beautiful! Very well executed with the feeling of emptiness and despair. If borderline personality disorder’s depressive episode had a song song this would be it.
@@nehemiahtrevino8470 I got ptsd from seeing death and dealing with abuse its hard to deal with ptsd is probably the worse thing to ever have to go through
Only DSBM artists have the ability to portray feelings without lyrics, just pure melancholic instrumentals. And i think this one is the strongest of all.
this is raw fucking emotion. i love american black metal. if the viking/satanic theme is predominant in the western euro black metal scene, emotion is definitely a major theme of american stuff. simply mindblowing
Wouldn’t it be a shame if the makers of this video allegedly exposing the insanity and futility of life were trying to provoke homeless people into acting insane and futile in order to film them?
Es hermoso el sentimiento de vacío, inestabilidad emocional y la tristeza ... Que se siente al escuchar al gran Scott Conner aka. Malefic !!! Hail Xastur ...

penssmell997 this isn't normal black metal, it's a specific subgenre known as DSBM or depressive/suicidal black metal
Maybe those bands have forests in their videos and album covers because they love nature????????
It's nice as an experiment. But it does not fit the atmosphere of DSBM as well as the nordic European atmosphere does.
The "quality" of the video is exactly what we wanted it to be. We are musicians, not video producers. Get over it. To me it feels right.

Hey princess I heard it when I was maybe 19 now I'm 34; I'm not sure how I found it again but it's powerful
Makes you forget the one's that left but at the same time makes them immortal in the heart. Thats how this song is to me....
This hits hard more than I could wish.

No matter how happy i feel this song always induces feelings of despair and anxiety, i fucking love it.
Brilliant music...
Xasthur has never dissapointed me.
A complete masterpiece... insane melodical and visual delivery
This video is the most real black metal I ever seen
extreme world: nostalgia, histeria, desesperanza, desatino, desarraigo, intriga, dolor, exclusión, locura, ira, incomprensión plasmada en combinación con melodías atmosféricas. very nice.
Perfect for gardening on a Saturday morning! I just love Xasthur!
This is a beautiful interpretation, very cinematic and emotional.. just like the music.
You I understand the poetic nature of saying “we exist for nothing” and all but I would say that the fact is that we can all connect to this video and feel the darkness sadness and ironic beauty of it and if nothing else that is a reason to live... for great music that can make you truly feel something in a world of insanity

bro i feel like i am nothing but a dream while the wisp of the living and the dead blows away ,endless sorrows from a earth that never existed
Really superb... this is my favourite song, congratulation...
10 years ago I heard this song and it became my anthem so each time I remember those days it feels the same all over again it sucks
when i hear this i think of a knight clad in beaming beaten armor riding a black horse sword drawn glinting in the smoke filtered light head first in to an onslaught of wretched sin and evil. sin that seeks to devour a mind. When i see homeless people, i mean any human being truly suffering with honesty and devoured by bad circumstance or choices, i see them, metaphorically, as a soul clad in armor sword drawn attempting to be as honest as they can be with themselves and the world every day. People think homeless have it bad emprisoned by their minds or drugs, the ones who really have it bad are those consumed by a consumeristic culture stuck on their fucking cell phones all day, no eye contact, wanting to be told by every stimulus that they are outwardly beautiful and if you do A and B you will be loved, afraid of not being accepted, not being accepted like a homeless person.
Right in the feels!!!
Such a classic, love the video and how it correlates to the song feel
I want to see a Malefic Video Interview!!!! Malefic is a musical genius and is to be admired. Good Work!! Definitely eager to see what he comes up with next.
Super travail! J’adore la musique et la vidéo !!!! Bravo :)
That was pretty emotional but at the same time it reminded me of BUM FIGHTS so then I giggled
Bling bling
lmfao
Still have my copy!!
Im normally a Hip Hop, Underground, and Oldie kinda person.... But damn my Genre of Music has changed... This is So Dope!
This video is a work of art I'm still thinking about it and seeing the imagery long after I first looked at it
God this song is so beautiful! Very well executed with the feeling of emptiness and despair. If borderline personality disorder’s depressive episode had a song song this would be it.
I have bpd and this song and the video is how I feel everyday and is probably how I will feel for the rest of my life if I don't end it
Michael Sucky I feel you this is the same for me too. I have bpd, ptsd, and Major Depressive Disorder
@@nehemiahtrevino8470 I got ptsd from seeing death and dealing with abuse its hard to deal with ptsd is probably the worse thing to ever have to go through
@@raidermike9960 same...
Love this video..awesome footage to go with the hopeless feeling of the music..
that's the world of Malefic, hail Scott for this awesome song!!!!
Very impressive! This is so different to most other Black Metal stuff. I really like that 🖤
This song, this video... fucking perfect. This is life...
This is the single most polite conversation anyone has ever had on youtube. bravo gentlemen.
Xasthur and Leviathan are the only bands I’ll listen to in the BM world any more
I think that's about one of the best promotional videos ever made and I am NOT being ironic.
Only DSBM artists have the ability to portray feelings without lyrics, just pure melancholic instrumentals. And i think this one is the strongest of all.
this is raw fucking emotion. i love american black metal. if the viking/satanic theme is predominant in the western euro black metal scene, emotion is definitely a major theme of american stuff. simply mindblowing
i love it when nobody is arguing on xasthur videos. keep it that way people
I'm in love with this song!
Great work during the pass years, thank you for inspiring me!!!
I could read his mouth moving at 5:00, he's saying "STOP IT!!!"
And then at 5:09, he's saying "STOP MAKING FUN OF ME"
Tormented he’s probably rambling nonsense
Wouldn’t it be a shame if the makers of this video allegedly exposing the insanity and futility of life were trying to provoke homeless people into acting insane and futile in order to film them?
@@Cod3Thr33 Oh that’s a fucked thought
Esta Canción En Vez De Parecerme Triste, Más Bien Me Parece Bastante Relajante Y Reconfortante.
Love this, love the man behind the music.
What a beautiful song
GREAT PIECE,
I HOPE THIS GET MORE&more visuals.
Keep this channel äłīvə
🔥🔥🔁™
This is beautiful....
Es hermoso el sentimiento de vacío, inestabilidad emocional y la tristeza ... Que se siente al escuchar al gran Scott Conner aka. Malefic !!! Hail Xastur ...
“To violate the oblivious” is just fantastic
PERFECT!
its a flame burning inside... xasthur will always be healthy for my soul... by the way: the video coalescence with the music...
this song slices my thoughts into pieces.
i would listen to this song particularly during rain time back in 2007/08. never imagined thisll be a video year later!.
