More on Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1
Description from Wikipedia:
Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1 is the fourth full-length album by Chicago band Nachtmystium. It was released via Century Media Records in the United States on June 10, 2008, and by Candlelight Records in Europe on June 23, 2008. The record was recorded in December 2007 at Sanford Parker's Volume Studios. The album contains such experimental musical flirtations as saxophones and other non-black metal musical "meddling".
The album's subtitle itself incorporates the title of Pink Floyd's 1971 breakthrough album Meddle, while the album's opening track, "One of These Nights", is a homage to the Meddles "One of These Days."
According to the Chicago Tribune, Blake Judd, the band's founder, claims the idea for the album's name came from his desire to reestablish Nachtmystium's image in the music community. He states, "The idea of 'Assassins' is that an assassin kills, gets rid of or destroys something. It's not directly about us. We want to assassinate all these preconceived notions about where the metal community feels we belong in music and want to do our own thing. And what we do is black meddle."
The band uploaded "Your True Enemy", a song from Assassins, onto their MySpace page in February of 2008, and the title track "Assassins" in April 2008.
Daymare Recordings will be releasing a Japanese version of Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1 with bonus tracks on June 20, 2008.
