Nachtmystium was an American psychedelicblack metal band formed by Blake Judd, formerly known as Azentrius, and Pat McCormick. The band's name is derived from the German word Nacht meaning "night", and the made-up term mystium which resembles the Latin adjective mysticum. Judd and McCormick combined the words to create the band's name, which they state means "Encompassing Darkness". Nachtmystium released multiple critically praised albums between 2005 and 2012, including Instinct: Decay (2005), Assassins: Black Meddle, Part I (2008), and Silencing Machine (2012). Controversy marred the band's success in 2013, when Judd was arrested for theft charges and publicly admitted he had a severe drug problem. Over their 13-year run, Nachtmystium released seven full-length studio albums and headlined multiple concert tours.
History
Nachtmystium was originally founded by Blake Judd and Pat McCormick as a side project. The band was heavily influenced by second-wave black metal bands, such as Darkthrone and Burzum, evidenced in their low-fi first release Reign of the Malicious in 2002. The band’s next release, Demise (2004), was described by Judd as Nachtmystium's "last straight forward 'raw black metal' record." The band's following two releases, Eulogy IV (2004) and Instinct: Decay (2006), incorporated psychedelic and experimental musical elements that were pioneered by bands like Black Sabbath, The Doors and Pink Floyd.Instinct: Decay received general positive feedback from critics. DEAF SPARROW Zine praised the album for its innovation, while Decibel Magazine went even further to name Instinct: Decay as the fourth best album of 2006. The band released Assassins: Black Meddle, Part I on June 10, 2008 in America. The album received a generally positive critical reception, especially from Pitchfork Media and MTV's Headbangers Ball, who both stated that it was one of the year's best releases.
Regimental Records: CD limited to 1000 copies.
Painiac Records: vinyl version limited to handnumbered 400 copies.
Battle Kommand Records re-release done in November 2005, with new artwork.

http://www.prophecy.lnk.to/nachtmystium-resilient
Reformed American black metallers Nachtmystium have returned from the shadows on new EP, Resilient, their first for Prophecy Productions. Spearheaded by enigma Blake Judd, the reconfigured Nachtmystium picks up where acclaimed full-lengths The World We Left Behind and Silencing Machine left off but sheds unprecedented darkness on Judd’s artistic turmoil. The violent introspection spread across Resilient three tracks takes Nachtmystium through new nightmarish landscapes as the group pivot into slower tempi with washes of melancholy as the main sonic driver.

https://prophecy.lnk.to/nachtmystium-assassins
Prophecy Productions is excited and honored to re-issue Assassins: Black Meddle, Part I on it’s 10-year anniversary. The last decade has seen many changes for the Nachtmystium, it’s members, and the entirety of the metal genre. This record captures the very essence of internal conflict with destructiveness of choice and the idealism of youth and fame. Sang with the sorrow and hollowness embodied by blackened metal, Assassins: Black Meddle, Part I is a new record for a problem ever-married to rock and roll fame: indulgence, self-medication, and escapism.
