The genre-defining psychedelic black metal masterpiece returns! Reissue of the seminal 2008 album.
Originally released in 2008, Assassins: Black Meddle Pt. 1 saw Nachtmystium shatter the conventions of United States Black Metal (USBM). Moving away from raw, lo-fi aesthetics, mastermind Blake Judd and producer Sanford Parker created a druggy, 70s-influenced psychedelic soundscape that retained its black metal bite. This reissue presents the landmark album with improved clarity, reminding listeners why it is a vital, "must-own" record of the 2000s metal scene.
