Xiphoid Dementia appearance on Sky Burial’s “There I Saw the Grey Wolf Gaping”
September 30th, 2012
“There I Saw The Grey Wolf Gaping” marks a return to the shorter compostions which comprised Sky Burial’s first few releases. These tracks reflect the width and breadth of sounds which inspire Sky Burial’s brand of sonic eclecticism, from kosmische/krautrock, music concrete, and early industrial to shoegaze, ambient/drone, and avant-garde composers. Athough inspired by diverse genres, Sky Burial has created a cohesive sound of its own, often citing esoteric and mythological subject matter as a muse. This album features guest artists Danny Hyde (Coil), Jarboe, Anni Hogan (Marc and The …

Xiphoid Dementia – Might is Blight review in Special Interests #2
August 23rd, 2010
The boys over at Special Interests have been kind enough to write an extremely comprehensive and detailed review of Xiphoid Dementia’s Might is Blight CD released by Existence Establishment and still available from the shop.
Here is the review in it’s entirety:
Comparing this to past CDR works I have heard from this American project, and most of all comments I have heard from less open-minded noise crowd, I must say I was taken by surprise. Progression has been great. And even steps towards originality and more ambitious fields of creation. Xiphoid …

Review of “Might is Blight” CD from Musique Machine
May 25th, 2010
Musique Machine just published a new review of Xiphoid Dementia – Might is Blight CD which has been added to the press page and is still available from the shop.
‘Might is Blight’ offers up quite a varied, original and often bleakly epic mixture of: electronic and junk based industrial textures, powerful and avant grade tinged neo-classical elements, animal and environmental field recordings, power electronics and cinematic tinged noise.
Each of the six ten minute plus tracks that make up the album seem to tell their own distinctive sound story and tale …
