One such band redefining the borders of the beloved (and severely protected) genre is Illinois's Nachtmystium. An interesting study in the evolution of modern metal in the US, Nachtmystium blends multiple genre staples and a unique vision with the essential roots of black metal. Founded by controversial figure Blake Judd, the band immediately gained followers for their unconventional breakout album Instinct: Decay. Excited by their new sound but spurred by the antics of Blake Judd, Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1 had many fans wondering if black metal in the US could ever see the kind of legitimacy it's worked so hard to achieve. On this 10-year anniversary of Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1, perhaps new and old fans alike will take a chance to revisit this emotional record and bear witness to the story and the journey of Nachtmystium. Prophecy Productions is excited and honored to reissue Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1 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 1 is a new record for a problem ever-married to rock and roll fame: indulgence, self-medication, and escapism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of These Nights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Assassins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ghosts of Grace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Away from Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Your True Enemy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Code Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Omnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Seasick (Part 1: Drowned at Dusk)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Seasick (Part 2: Oceanborne)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Seasick (Part 3: Silent Sunrise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prophecy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45006402748637,"sku":"884388409712","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3579463.jpg?v=1727220904"},{"product_id":"nachtmystium-assassins-black-meddle-pt-i-1","title":"Nachtmystium- Assassins - Black Meddle Pt.

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\"'s three tracks takes Nachtmystium through new nightmarish landscapes as the group pivot into slower tempi with washes of melancholy as the main sonic driver. Joining Nachtmystium leader Blade Judd are keyboardist Job 'Phenex' Bos, a Dutchman living in Bergen, Norway, where he moonlights with German black metallers Dark Fortress and performs live with black metal icons Satyricon and black-doom luminaries The Ruins of Beverast; bassist Martin van Valkenstijn, a Germany-based musician, who's played live with legends Empyrium, Sun of the Sleepless, and The Vision Bleak, forms half the rhythm section; and drummer Jean Graffio, an American musician, is the other half. Graffio also drums for California-based black metallers Sumeria. \"Resilient\" is the start of a new chapter for Judd and Nachtmytium. The EP kicks off with the title track, a full-bodied churn of sadness, desperation, and determination. The main melody is powered by a dreamy keyboard line with Judd employing a despairing riff as counterpoint. \"Silver Lanterns\" is more traditional Nachtmystium but with a shimmering centerpiece. Between the half-blasts and tremeloed riffs, the keyboards act as a foil, providing lift to the overall song. \"Desert Illumination\" is almost uplifting in it's doom-like tempo and sing-song melody line. That, however, is crushed when Nachtmystium invert the motif for a more malicious coda.

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\"'s three tracks takes Nachtmystium through new nightmarish landscapes as the group pivot into slower tempi with washes of melancholy as the main sonic driver. Joining Nachtmystium leader Blade Judd are keyboardist Job 'Phenex' Bos, a Dutchman living in Bergen, Norway, where he moonlights with German black metallers Dark Fortress and performs live with black metal icons Satyricon and black-doom luminaries The Ruins of Beverast; bassist Martin van Valkenstijn, a Germany-based musician, who's played live with legends Empyrium, Sun of the Sleepless, and The Vision Bleak, forms half the rhythm section; and drummer Jean Graffio, an American musician, is the other half. Graffio also drums for California-based black metallers Sumeria. \"Resilient\" is the start of a new chapter for Judd and Nachtmytium. The EP kicks off with the title track, a full-bodied churn of sadness, desperation, and determination. The main melody is powered by a dreamy keyboard line with Judd employing a despairing riff as counterpoint. \"Silver Lanterns\" is more traditional Nachtmystium but with a shimmering centerpiece. Between the half-blasts and tremeloed riffs, the keyboards act as a foil, providing lift to the overall song. \"Desert Illumination\" is almost uplifting in it's doom-like tempo and sing-song melody line. That, however, is crushed when Nachtmystium invert the motif for a more malicious coda.
