NACHTMYSTIUM have been dwelling within the U.S. black metal underground for a period of time in which this enigma have clearly spearheaded themselves as one of North America’s most prominent acts within the scene. Where in the beginning, we witnessed NACHTMYSTIUM portray a bleak sound-picture by incorporating the many facets that became synonymous with the brand of traditional, raw and primitive black metal that was surfacing from these shores, it was quite evident that the promise that such an act showed in it’s early stages, was just a mere warning of what was inevitably to come. Surely though, NACHTMYSTIUM have always shown their distinct histrionics on their interpretation on how they liked to portray their black metal art.  Through morose and mournful hymns that displayed a scenario where sadness and hatred were the two dominating emotions that bled from band leader Azentrius’ instrument.
