Nachtmystium goes on hiatus

Nachtmystium, the "psychedelic black metal" founded by Blake Judd, is apparently done (for now, at least). Though an official statement doesn't seem to exist online anywhere as the band recently deleted their Facebook page, the following update began making the rounds on April 1st:
"We are sorry to inform you that Nachtmystium have decided to cancel all their live activities in the foreseeable future. The band has parted ways with their long time lead guitarist, Andrew Markuszewski, and their recording engineer/synth player, Sanford Parker. The remaining three bandmembers of Nachtmystium as of today are going to bring the band to a state of hiatus."
UPDATE: Judd has subsequently clarified his remarks, stating that the band is alive and well but not currently playing shows. "The band has gone through some personnel changes in the last few months and I've made the decision to cancel all of our summer tour/festival plans while the band regroups. Instead of touring, we will be writing and recording our next full length album in the coming months, to be released on Century Media world wide sometime in late 2013."

Sounds like some plan to make people care when they put out a new album in a couple years.

Sanford Parker...what a fcking douche name.

anonymous 4/15/2013 11:47:27 AM

Nachtmystium is to busy combing their facial hair. Dudes suck, last album sucks. Horns on a black metal album? Seriously? Kill yourself. And while your at it, your other band Atlas Moth, is fcking terrible too.

anonymous 4/15/2013 1:39:26 PM

^ not the same dude in both bands twat.

anonymous 4/15/2013 3:48:34 PM

No one in Nachtmystium has a beard. Bands been around playing black metal since 1999 and had years of time in other bands in the underground dating back to 1996 when they were teenagers. So, get your fcking facts straight, because you just sound like a moron.

anonymous 4/15/2013 3:50:26 PM

Oh, and the band hasn't broken up, they're on hiatus from live shows - nothing else, working on a new album currently, and no one is suing Blake...that's another rumor going around. Don't you people have something better to do? If you don't like something, ignore it.

anonymous 4/15/2013 4:47:28 PM

That's great. The world needs less closet Nazi, heroin addicted, false black metal pssy shit like this anyway. fck this band. Vanflip 4 ever/get killed.

anonymous 4/15/2013 5:37:45 PM

^ You're a fcking moron. Die.

anonymous 4/15/2013 7:49:11 PM

U mad, bro?

cocaine is a hell of a drug

Hahahhaahahaja

anonymous 4/16/2013 6:12:11 AM

Ohhh...they're undergound. I don't care if they've been suckling the t-t since 1990, they're still a shitty band with shitty band members.Christ, so many people will jock this band because of who they've toured with. Chris Black was the only redeeming part of this band, and anything he's done has been 1000s better.

cgrind3000 4/16/2013 10:18:10 AM

Heroin is stoked

anonymous 4/16/2013 8:11:57 PM

lol at dudes in the US talking about "false black metal". Nobody on here is in their 40's and from rural Norway.

anonymous 4/16/2013 8:30:04 PM

anonymous 4/17/2013 4:03:56 PM

I love Nachtmystium but Blake is a scammer. he ripped off the whole band and moreover the fans, that's true reality !!!!!!!! he deleted the facebook page because fans were complaining about merch stuffs never sent… this is a shame !

anonymous 4/17/2013 5:15:04 PM

just gotta call it quits this time fools. foolish band, so foolish.

anonymous 4/17/2013 10:59:23 PM

LoydChristmas 2 days ago Sanford Parker...what a fcking douche name. You regularly frequent an internet message board as a fictitious 1990's comedy character... but yeah, that guy's a douche.

anonymous 4/18/2013 8:07:16 PM

"we were gonna break up, but then I found more heroin, so shit's cool again." - Blake Judd
