Definitely enjoying this. Not nearly as quirky as the Black Meddle releases, but still unquestionably Nachmystium. Diggin' the depressive atmosphere and mid-paced song structures, and the production is spot on: muffled vocals, top-heavy drums, hazy guitar riffs...

Interest in new metal releases restored, if only temporarily.

A great black metal release! I pretty much never enjoy newer bands trying to sound like black metal did in the 90's. But Nachtmystium surely know how it's done, they got the good old and cold "mountains, snow and frost" feeling like older albums by Darkthrone and Immortal. Good job!

I so want a club in my city where I can dance to music like this.

This is really good, not great, but im enjoyng this one

I don't like when they go double bass with melodic riff, which happens a lot sadly and sounds really generic, but there are some really good songs.

So enchanting.Great atmosphere.Amazing riffs.

I want to give this a 7 but it's so flat in so many places. Still to me sounds like an inferior, more generic black metal Castevet (though still with a bit of post-hardcore influence, mostly in those vocals). Better than the Assassins stuff but still not exactly riveting either way.

I'll stick with this. More dynamic, more interesting, more betterer:

Interesting that they went back to their lo-fi roots and cut out most of the industrial and psychedelic elements the previous one had. It's still a good album though I reckon.

Definitely a solid album. I'm really enjoying the vibe on the album. Great riffs and Sanford Parker did a nice job on the production.

Couldn't understand a single word that was said in that clip. Bad sound + bad comedy accents = wall of incomprehensible sound

and you forgot "bad comedy" as such

The Lepers Of Destitution is one of the best atmospheric black metal songs ever written IMO. God, those chord progressions... Great album from start to finish, much, much better than Black Meddle I: Assassins.

Good album i don't thing is better that black meddle and the insinct decay, but i like it

I got into Nachtmystium after listening to "Black Meddle", and this album sounds a bit different, but I still like it. Some songs are wickedly catchy in their depressiveness.

Paying good homage to second-wave black metal while having the upbeat aesthetics of alternative metal.
