Nachtmystium prepare for big 2008 with two new CDs

Experimental death-metal stalwarts Nachtmystium are readying two new releases to tickle your eardrums in 2008. First on the band's plate is a five-song EP titled Worldfall, which will be available through Century Media and iTunes. The disc will feature two new original songs, including the title track and "Depravity;" a re-recording of their song "Solitary Voyage" from the Demise album; and two covers – Death In June's "Roseclouds of Holocaust" and Goatsnake's "IV."

The Worldfall tracks were originally recorded to release as a split-CD with fellow metal bands Leviathan. Due to legal issues with Leviathan's record label., the collaboration has been delayed. Nachtmystium will be recording new tracks later this year and releasing the split-CD at a later date.

In June 2008, Nachtmystium will release a new full-length album titled Assassins: Black Meddle Part I. The ten-song album will be released by Century Media in the United States and by Candlelight Records in Europe. Vocalist/guitarist and band founder Blake Judd says, "we are very excited and honored to be working with Century Media, a label whom over the years has showcased a ferocious dedication to extreme music."

Formed in Chicago in 1999, Nachtmystium began life as a raw, box-yer-ears-in black metal band. Through the years, the band has released albums on such underground metal labels as Autopsy Kitchen Records and Battle Kommand Records, honing their sound and adding a psychedelic dimension to their metallic, hard rocking sound. Over the past three years, Nachtmystium has toured heavily, performing with such fellow travelers as 1349, Boris, Goatwhore and SunnO))).
