Nachtmystium has shared the single, ”Survivors Remorse,” which is the third tune taken from the band’s forthcoming ninth album, Blight Privilege. The full-length has been scheduled for release on All Saints’ Day, November 1. “Survivors Remorse” sees Nachtmystium shaking the background with vein-shaking instrumentation and a heart-jolting vocal performance.
While talking about the ditty, Nachtmystium says: “The opening track, ‘Survivor’s Remorse’, tells a tale of coming back from a state of oblivion to find a world that you no longer recognize. It is a world that has been destroyed by dogmas and insanity.”
With their ninth studio album, Blight Privilege, Nachtmystium are once again presenting a masterpiece that can even compete with the trilogy of albums that many view as the peak of the earlier career of the American black metal trailblazers: Instinct Decay (2006,) Assassins Black Meddle Pt. I (2008) and Addicts Black Meddle Pt. II (2010).
Like an infernal sniper, every song on Blight Privilege hits straight on target. All the darkest elements, required and longed for, are there with harsh, rasping vocals, the fierce hum and whirr of guitars burning with an ice cold fire, moments of ecstatic and exalted beauty in hellish soundscapes.
