In case you don't remember, reformed American black metallers Nachtmystium announced last year that they had signed with Prophecy Productions. At the time, they confirmed a new EP, titled Resilient, but now the label has also revealed the re-release of Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1, originally released back in 2008.

Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1 is going to be re-released to celebrate its 10th anniversary on November 30th on LP and as limited artbook edition with bonus CD, featuring three additional tracks. Available in their US shop exclusively.




As for Resilient, spearheaded by Blake Judd, the reconfigured Nachtmystium picks up where acclaimed full-lengths The World We Left Behind and Silencing Machine left off but sheds unprecedented darkness on Judd's artistic turmoil. The violent introspection spread across Resilient's three tracks takes Nachtmystium through new nightmarish landscapes as the group pivot into slower tempo with washes of melancholy as the main sonic driver.

Joining Blake Judd are keyboardist Job 'Phenex' Bos, a Dutchman living in Bergen, Norway, where he moonlights with German black metallers Dark Fortress and performs live with black metal icons Satyricon and black-doom luminaries The Ruins Of Beverast; bassist Martin van Valkenstijn, a Germany-based musician, who's played live with legends Empyrium, Sun Of The Sleepless, and The Vision Bleak, forms half the rhythm section; and drummer Jean Graffio, an American musician, is the other half. Graffio also drums for California-based black metallers Sumeria.
