All Reflections Drained is another step in Xasthur's slowly evolving descent into psychic isolation and misanthropic darkness. Recorded in 2007/08, All Reflections Drained marks yet another crucial transition for Xasthur, with the inclusion of guest vocalist . but to say it is the next logical step would be an uneducated statement. Malefic's musical progression is as reclusive and unsettling as the man himself, and that's a good thing.

All Reflections Drained was created between October 2007 and July 2008. Most songs recorded on 8 to 14 digital tracks. This music is agony, not entertainment.

Or, they'll assert that the term "ambient black metal" is an oxymoron.

He looks like any other regular Joe trying to look serious while wearing a hood. Over the course of many albums and even more splits and EPs, Xasthur has become perhaps the biggest name in American black metal. Ironically, a cult of personality has sprung up around him because he has shunned the spotlight
