Illinois, United States (1999 – present)

Nachtmystium is a psychedelic metal band from Illinois that has featured members from other american black metal acts such as Weltmacht, Krieg, and Judas Iscariot.

Formed in 1999 by guitarist Blake Judd (aka Azentrius), Nachtmystium debuted with their first demo, Holocaust of Eternity, and a split with USBM band Zalnik. Their first full-length, Reign of the Malicious, was released in 2002, and since then, they have released 4 EPs, Nachtmystium (2003), Eulogy IV (2004), Worldfall (2008) and Doomsday Derelicts (2009), and 3 full-length albums, Demise (2004), Instinct: Decay (2006) and Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1 (2008). Nachtmystium has had various splits with the major USBM bands, including Xasthur and Krieg, and an upcoming split with Leviathan. A new song entitled “Pitch Black Cadence” has been posted on their Myspace-page.

Azentrius is the owner of Battle Kommand Records. He also is an active member in USBM supergroup Twilight.

This has to be one of the worst bands that has ever pretended to play black metal.

What members were in Judas Iscariot and Weltmacht? Oh right Imperial was, and he only played session bass for an album wtf... way to talk up the band. I like songs by this band, they can't keep me interested for a whole album. A Seed For Suffering is an awesome song though.

Although Instinct is my favourite, I still like Assassins a lot. It's a very self-aware recording in that it doesn't try to do or be anything but what it actually is -- a simple and thoroughly enjoyable rock-influenced black metal album, a throwback to the blues-based and psychedelic music of the 70s. It's a black metal record that appeals to my pop sensibilities, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that in my opinion. There's a place for it in my collection.
