Catacombs is a funeral doom solo project of Xathagorra Mlandroth[1] (born John Del Russi[2]). The band's music was deeply inspired by Lovecraftian horror and the Cthulhu Mythos, often directly referencing it lyrically.[3] The project followed Xathagorra's other endeavor Hierophant but was concluded when Xathagorra began releasing all his subsequent music under the name Xathagorra through his record label Xathagorra Industries.[4] Xathagorra Industries re-released Catacombs albums in physical format as well as through Xathagorra's Bandcamp page.[5]
