Initially, the band began rehearsing and recording in a home studio with an unstable lineup. Xasthur was created in December 1995 in Alhambra, California, after Conner had played with several local death metal groups in Southern California. The latter name referred to a celestial deity he read about in a book on the Afro-Caribbean religion Santería. Conner explained that he found the former name in a Necronomicon paperback and believed that it referred to "a demoness who kills people in their sleep". The name "Xasthur" is a combination of " Hastur" and "Xenaoth". The first album with this new style was entitled Subject to Change, released in 2016. However, he began using the name once again in 2015 to instead perform acoustic neofolk music. Conner formed Xasthur in 1995 and released eight studio albums of black metal by 2010, when he announced the end of the project. Xasthur ( / ˈ z æ s t ər/) is the project of American musician Scott "Malefic" Conner.
