We were given an advanced copy of Nachtmystium's upcoming release, Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. II and I got to say, it's pretty fucking awesome. Frontman Blake Judd straddles the line between black metal and indie rock. You might be saying, uhh what line? But somehow, he has found it, and has created a brutal album that hipster beardos certainly show their friends who prefer the smooth sounds of Interpol. The reason I mention this is because the band has decided to start playing new material on the road, including at Roadburn festival which happened earlier in the week in the Netherlands. A fan with a shitty cellphone camera hit record and PRESTO your first, low-fi taste of an album that you will definitely enjoy if you're a Nachtmystium fan. UPDATE: Newer pro-shot footage has sufraced:
Update 2: Stereogum is hosting a free mp3 download of one of the catchier tracks on the album, "No Funeral"
Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. II will be released June 8th on Century Media.
