LIVE AT THE ROADBURN 2010

Vinyl LP pressing. Throughout, NACHTMYSTIUM once again demonstrate that a black metal band does not have to be just that. Doom rock, trance, traditional metal and even elements of pop are at play here and the inclusion of two additional musicians adds a delicious uncertainty to the live frenzy. Yes, this is clearly a band with brutal metallic power at its heart, but with an intelligence and huge elements of improvisation in its top-three inches to clearly distinguish themselves from the USBM pack. Whilst ultimately IAEd advise those new to the band to invest in the mesmeric aeAssassinsAE and the genre-bending aeAddictsAE albums over this, Live At Roadburn is a positive confirmation that there are few bands out there who can match NachtmystiumAEs ferocity and finesse.
