Nachtmystium hit the stage for the first time in roughly five years over the weekend. The band’s first show back took place at the 5 Star Bar in Los Angeles, CA this past Friday, July 07th with a performance at ‘Festum Carnis‘ taking place in Wisleyville, CA the day after. Both sets saw special full-album performances. Alongside mastermind Blake Judd, the group’s revamped live lineup includes: Jacob Dye on guitars, Øystein Albrektsson on bass and Jean-Michel Graffio on drums.
Notably, the band were setup at the merch booth issuing refunds to those who ordered merch from Judd and never received it during 2012-2014. As you may recall, Judd scammed various fans for pre-orders during the height of his heroin addiction. The band commented on that over the weekend:
“Its happening….now. Nachtmystium‘s first show in nearpy five years. The band goes on at midnight. Nice big crowd here….we are thrilled to be back and to see all of you that are here tonight. Merchandise is available AND we are issuing cash refunds / merchandise for anyone whom may have ordered between 2012 – 2014 and didn’t receive an order. Just come see us at the merch table, we will get you sorted out and also refund you for the fee you were charged at the door…the show tonight is on us of you were victimized in the past. 1 hour, 37 minutes ’til stage time…. \m/”
The group have a new effort titled “Resilient” in the works for a release through Earache Records and also currently have the below shows booked:
07/25 San Diego, CA – Til-Two Club (performing “Reign Of The Malicious“)
09/29 Louisville, KY – Louisville Deathfest
