Nachtmystium met an interesting end in 2013 when guitarist and vocalist Blake Judd was jailed, released, wasn't sure exactly what was going on anymore and then decided that he could no longer keep the band going. It was a pretty crazy string of events but it ended in probably the best decision- Judd getting himself some help. Also there were some t-shirts floating around that were unkind to Judd, which of course we have pictures of. Of course before the band breaks up they'll get one last record in there, which will be the aptly-titled The World We Left Behind due out at some point this spring via Century Media.
The band took to Facebook earlier in the morning of Friday, Feb. 14, to announce they'd be headed back into the studio sometime in March to put the finishing touches on the record.
"Nachtmystium will be returning to Belle City Sound in Racine, WI early next month to put the finishing touches on the bands final full-length album, "The World We Left Behind", which is scheduled for release on Century Media Records worldwide in late spring, 2014. The album was recorded in July and August, 2013, but the band was not completely satisfied with the end result and has decided to revisit the recording and add some additional guitar tracks, synths, etc. Upon completion of this session, the album will be mastered and then immediately submitted to Century Media for release. More news and another track premier will come at the end of this pending session. Stay tuned for more news. In the meantime, see earlier posts below here to check out a rough mix of the song "Voyager", the first track the band has released online from the new and final Nachtmystium album."
