(Century Media) Few bands today embrace their own individualism to ultimately craft something truly unique and genre defying regardless of its sales potential. Enter the Chicago-based Nachtmystium who embrace the true spirit of individuality and intolerance forming solely as an outlet to express the dark musical visions and summoning of those involved.This vicious, uncompromising quartet, led by mastermind Blake Judd return with the Doomsday Derelicts four-song EP that was recorded at Electrical Audio Studio in Chicago, in May 2008.
The guys basically found out Steve Albini's studio (Electrical Audio) had an opening, so they all went in and recorded some songs. It was just a laid back, have a few beers and record some thrashy, more straight ahead metal stuff vs. the psychedelic nature of Assassins. These four songs were engineered and produced by Sanford Parker (Minsk), with the CD version released on Blake's own Battle Kommand Records. The digital version is available beginning today
