XavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffX - Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia CD

Official Limited Edition First Press CD of the new EP from South Africa's most unhinged extreme metal export.

You know what Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia means? Fear of long words, and XavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffX™ just weaponized that fear into a five-track linguistic bloodbath.

XAVLEG is entering a new chapter. Founding vocalist Duncan Bentley will steer the band forward with this as his first solo EP while he assembles a fresh, devastating lineup.

“Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia” is the EP that weaponizes sesquipedalian excess. Five tracks, five mouth-melting monoliths of vocabulary violence. From the fear-fueled title track to the 189-letter buffet-slaughter of Track 4, Xavleg set out to break tongues, and records... one syllable at a time.

Pop this disc into a car stereo or crusty old CD player and let it chew up your tongue, your speakers, and your remaining brain cells.
