Xanthochroid formed in 2013 around two musicians who went by Syhr and Thanah. Their debut album 'Blessed He with Boils' came out the following year, establishing their atmospheric black metal sound with tracks like 'Blessed He With Boils' and 'The Last Relic Of Axen'.
Syhr left the band in 2018, leaving Thanah to continue with new musicians. They released 'Of Rust and Bone' in 2016 and 'Embers in the Dark' in 2018, with songs such as 'Deus Absconditus: Part II' and 'The Sound Of a Glinting Blade' showing their evolving approach to melancholic themes.
In 2019, allegations surfaced online about inappropriate behavior by a former member. Xanthochroid addressed this by condemning the actions and distancing themselves from that individual.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
