Of the Best Black Metal

"Nachtmystium did wonderfully in breaking outside the typical black metal sound. This album is an exceptional journey. It slows down and speeds up, has guitar solos! remains heavy as hell, but makes me admire them a lot for not remaining confined in a box, rather integrating different techniques..."
Awesome

""Instinct: Decay" was probably my favorite releases of 2006, every minute of this album is brilliant! Nachtmystium really redefined their sound and found their own unique sound.
Lo-fi primordial Norwegian black metal buzz curred with weed smoke and loaded with psilocybin. Songs mellifluously transforming from thrashy, harsh riffs into gloriously reverb-soaked metallic crescendos. This is black metal psychedelic art.
For fans of everything from Pink Floyd to Darkthrone. So good!"
