Nachtmystium
Nachtmystium is an American psychedelic black metal band formed by Blake Judd, formerly known as Azentrius, and Pat McCormick. The band's name derives from the German word Nacht meaning "night", and the faux Latinism mystium, which resembles mysticum. Judd and McCormick combined the words to mean "Encompassing Darkness". Nachtmystium released multiple albums between 2005 and 2012, including Instinct: Decay (2006), Assassins: Black Meddle, Part I (2008), and Silencing Machine (2012).
Controversy marred the band's success in 2013 when Judd was arrested for theft charges and admitted he had a drug problem. Nachtmystium went on a four-year hiatus until 2017, when Judd reformed the band to record new studio material and perform at four concerts. Judd disbanded Nachtmystium in 2020, but temporarily restarted the project in 2024 to release a new album.
