Nachtmystium is an American psychedelic, atmospheric black metal band formed by Blake Judd (aka Azentrius) in 2000. While they have performed in corpse paint, released albums on black metal labels such as Battle Kommand Records and Southern Lord Records, and toured with other black metal acts (such as 1349, Angelcorpse, Goatwhore, and Watain), Judd claims that his band should not be considered black metal per se."We are NOT a black metal band and wish not to be branded as such, the future of Nachtmystium lies within no boundaries, no scenes, genres or cliques." (From Nachtmystium's MySpace Homepage, accessed June 21, 2007.) Over the years Nachtmystium has been augmented by a long roster of musicians.Initially strongly influenced by the low-fi sound of Burzum and Darkthrone, on later releases the production quality has improved, while the musical style became more influenced by ambient and psychedelic rock. Lyrical themes occasionally deal with anti-Christianity and hell, as is common
