NACHTMYSTIUM @ THE MARQUIS THEATER 7/29/12 DENVER-CO

“This is the exit, I’m always lost below, Unwashed and callous, Between unholy waves, Eyes never close, Hands are black and cracked, I choose my poison, May not see me again”

Nachtmystium is a psychedelic experimental black metal band from Illinois that formed in the late 90’s. They mix harsh, depressing USBM with psychedelic rock and industrial to create a hallucinatory trance full of misery and demons, a drone distorted existence. There albums are full of furious blast-beats, ethereal distortion, demonic anguished screams & shrieks, fuzz-tone riffs and pure bleak ambient black metal psychedelia, albums like “Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. II” “Instinct:Decay” “Assassins: Black Meddle Pt. I” and their newest masterpiece “Silencing Machine.”

Also playing: Murmur – black metal from Chicago, Krieg – black metal from New Jersey and Centimani – death metal from The Rockies.
