Nachtmystium
Although he's employed a number of sidemen over the years, Nachtmystium is essentially the work of Chicago native Azentrius, who began recording demos in 1998 and continues to unleash regular examples of raw, misanthropic, Scandinavian-style black metal (think Darkthrone, early Mayhem, Satyricon, etc.) on releases such as 2002's Reign of the Malicious, 2004's Demise, and 2006's Instinct: Decay. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide[more]

Nachtmystium are an atmospheric black metal band that hails from the US. They are strongly influenced by the low-fi sounds of Darkthrone and Burzum and in recent years gathered additional influences from ambient and psychedelic artists. This new album showcases the bands most prolific and expansive sound to date with guests from Yakuza and Pharaoh making their marks as well. Dive deep into a world of black metal madness!

VINYL FORMAT. Pure black emotion (or the denial of it) and the invocation of darkness with no regrets. Music aficionados and novices alike cannot dispute the sincerity and quality of this work. Nachtmystium manages to stand alone in a highly over-saturated US metal scene. This album contains some very introspective songwriting. Without expulsing torrents of rage, without waging auditory or lyrical/ideological war, Demise brings sorrow into its own definable dimensions. With each guitar passage, the m [ read more ]

Here's a challenge for the extremely brave out there -- try and decipher any of the lyrics on Nachtmystium's self-titled EP from 2002. Unless you have an extremely sharp ear (or a lyric sheet in front of you), this would be quite a daunting challenge. It's impossible to determine if vocalist Zmij is actually uttering words or just offering guttural belches, screams, and groans throughout. Originally released on the Regimental label, this six-track EP was out of print for a few years, before the fin [ read more ]

That may be about to change with 2006's Instinct: Decay, an album that generally stays true to the group's intentionally primal and lo-fi black metal roots, while simultaneously plunging over the aby [ read more ]
