Vastum is an American extreme metal band, formed in 2009 in San Francisco, California. The current line-up of the band consists of bassist Luca Indrio, guitarist and vocalist Leila Abdul-Rauf, vocalist Daniel Butler, drummer Adam Perry and guitarist Shelby Lermo.[1]

The band is noted for its lyrics, which deal with themes such as sexuality and eroticism,[1][2][3][4] and are influenced by French writer George Bataille and psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche.[5] Musically, the band's releases feature death metal and crust punk sound[6] based on "slow to mid-tempo, grinding grooves, interspersed with up-tempo shifts, and a bellowing, enunciated growl."[5]

The band's third studio album, Hole Below, was listed as number 19 on Pitchfork's list of "The Best Metal Albums of 2015."[6]
