I've created possibly the best/scariest mantlepiece oddity of all time.

Released today!

So here it is, after 2 years of working on it i thought it was about time i released the new album. I made around 30 tracks for this, and i'm settling on these ten (some choices might suprise you).
It's probably the most challenging Xihilisk album yet, going from black-metal one track, to layered electronic-grandeur the next.

I wanted to do something a bit different with this one, instead of making a more polished album like the last few releases. This one is flawed, maybe even unlistenable in places, but bearing in mind this is probably the last Xihilisk album i'll ever make, i'm quite happy with it as a swansong.

Xihilisk - 'The Black Square' (2009)



Tracklisting:
01. The Black Square
02. Chrysalis March
03. PlussToo
04. Larvae of the Sloth
05. Eggshells
06. Massive in Flux
07. The Scene Where Everybody Dies
08. TSWTWTSEWO
09. Sake
10. Scraping the Barrel

We are always looking for new bands/artists to join CXCR6, so if you're interested then read on.!

http://www.cxcr6.com

About Us:

1)With CXCR6 there are no contracts, we don't want the rights to your tracks, more than anything we are a distribution platform. We put all releases out through a plethora of torrent trackers, and promote them there. We can't promise you a fucktonne of downloads, but we will try our best. Most of our artists so far have had thousands of downloads through us.

2)There is no money involved with CXCR6, although you can have a direct-donation button on the website so that people can donate directly to you.

3)To be on CXCR6, you need to have the original lossless (.wav, .aiff, .flac) copies of your music. This is so it can be converted into .flac (lossless) and Lame -V0 MP3 for the site. Exceptions can be made, for example if you only have your music in 320 MP3, but having the original WAVS is the most ideal situation. If you only have your music in low-quality mp3, or a transcoded format, it's no good to us.

4)Have a listen to the tracks on the site to see what kind of artists/bands we already have, and like. For example, if you're a ska-punk band, chances are we won't be interested. We very much like electronica, post-rock, but generally anything intelligent and original.

That's about it. CXCR6 is only a small netlabel, but we have good ideas, good connections and access to distribution methods that many don't. We know how music distribution and promotion is evolving, and we're already ahead of the curve.


To submit your music:

There are a few different ways you can do this.

1)Message me on either the CXCR6 myspace or the Xihilisk myspace, and i will check out your myspace.

http://www.myspace.com/cxcr6
http://www.myspace.com/xihilisk


Please send the message from the account you want me to look at.

2)Go to the CXCR6 mainsite, and use the soundcloud 'send me your track' button on the About page.

3)Send an email, with links only, !!not attached MP3s!!, to lloyd@cxcr6.com


That's it. So if you're interested, get in touch.
cheers,

Lloyd

Xihilisk-"EPTwo Special Edition"



Tracklisting:
1. Tunnel Physics
2. Autonomous Seashield
3. Amanda
4. Theme for Something
5. The Movement of Dogs
6. Inslider
7. Lye Flatley
8. PLUSS
9. Takenology


The original EPTwo was released in Jan'08, but i was never really happy with it. I had been working on it for a year and made 13 tracks, but i thought only 6 were good enough so i wrapped it up with those 6 and released it. Another 6 months has yielded the new tracks and time to make the others sound like they should have.

Every Xihilisk album ever made, for free :-)

EPTwo
(2008)
Tracklisting: 1.In Slider  2.Autonomous Seashield  3.Amanda  4.The movement of dogs  5.Lye Flatley  6.Takenology 














The newest release, probably my best yet. More electronic edged as a whole but has "Autonomous Seashield" which was made entirely from guitars (except the drums..)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

anEP (2007)

Tracklisting: 1.Unwrite These  2.Gregor, the Blacksmith 3.Hurry 4.As is Untitled 5.Orchanic  6.Angle Smoother













I made so many tracks for this album, but ended up cutting it down to 6 for an EP. "Gregor, the Blacksmith" is a fucking monster. Lots of variation on this one, its quite experimental.

0396 (2006)

Tracklisting: 1.My cat got fat  2.Argonaut  3.Warnist Tide  4.IDMftBjork  5.Nein die Katze  6.Venice is Burning  7.Comedown  8.These Howlls  9.Sleep Patterns  10.Trumunbass  11.Offshore Magnetism  12.Cocodamol  13.Wherewouldibewhereyou










This is a "Best-of" from the the late 2005-2006 period. It has some tracks that are on other releases with some tweaking on the mastering, and 6 originals that i made around that time. People seem to like this one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unreleased Stuff (2004-2007)

Tracklisting: 1.Turpentine  2.Some Acronym i believe  3.Fridayanditsraining  4.Lungchowt  5.Busta Remix  6.Lobster Mating Patterns  7.Out now, one to six  8.Cars  9.Fountains  10.Townsfolk  11.The end will be like this 











Stuff i messed up the production on (Lungchowt), stuff thats way too wierd (Lobster mating patterns) and stuff that just fell by the wayside. Be sure to check out "Townsfolk" for the lulz.

Instruction Manuals for Impossible Machines
(2005)Tracklisting: 1.IDMisdead  2.Sleep Patterns  3.Argonaut  4.Bloodshot  5.Cocodamol  6.Venice is burning  7.Aurora Rework  8.Suitable for Vegetarians












This was a turning point album, where i properly starting shaping actual songs instead of just ideas and jams. It was also the album where i started using Cakewalk Sonar for everything, and i love it to this day.

I like Coffee, Today (2004)

Tracklisting: 1.ILikeCoffeeToday  2.The factory exploded  3.An invasion  4.Shylock chronicles  5.ILikeCoffeeToday(Man behind the curtain remix)  6.The lonely piano  7.In defiance of god  8.The valley of the bean  9.Sunrise over the beanfield  10.Harming realities  11.Death tower  12.Burning Jerusalem  13.When planets collide  14.Drowning in concrete  15.Predetermined burial  16.Nooneleft  17.Losing control of a motorbike  18.UtDaLa  19.Bangin  20.The shady valley  21.Dragging a metal slug






A dark electronica/idm album. Fast and quite harsh in places. Inspired by chemical experimentation.

Burn in my Fires (2003)

Tracklisting: 1.Rub face here  2.Rotting stunt full of grit  3.Lenor  4.Registered trademark  5.Ghey  6.Burn in my fires  7.Eat it  8.Organ mutilation  9.Cure blag  10.The iron yak  11.The ladder  12.Featuring Kim 











This album is a challening journey through discordant grindcore and impossibly cheerful sounding acoustic guitar layering. An odd one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milk my Filthy Geishbar
(2002)

Tracklisting: 1.Destruction of the universe  2.When you realise you're nothing 3.Dark as fock  4.Urm  5.Athend  6.The piano  7.Killing you  8.Lee lucas  9.Geish  10.Paranoia  11.In you head  12.Too fokt  13.The frothy bits  14.Suffocation  15.Release  16.Psychotic










The most messed-up album ive made. I wasnt very good at making choons on the computer back then, and it shows. But what i lacks in technical merit, it makes up for in sheer-fuckedupness in spades. And yes, that is me on the cover :-)

The Effect (2001)

Tracklisting: 1.Purple Lift  2.All to be one of ours  3.My cat  4.Intense cataclysm  5.Try to climb  6.The beginning  7.Zulu













The first album i ever recorded. I had been playing guitar for about 2 weeks, and was rather into sickening necro metal at the time. Also contains my first electronic track, "Zulu". To say this album is challenging is a gross understatement.
