Seeing that we didn't do any press work / PR stuff with the Doomsday Derelicts MCD, the reviews online are fairly limited...however, our friends at the great San Francisco music hub Aquarius Records have included a pretty glowing review of the new EP in their mandatory-music-reading weekly email updates they send out.  Find it below!  Still some copies in stock from us directly, or you can support Aquarius and buy it from them, we've set them up with a hearty stock of the EP.  Here's the review....

NACHTMYSTIUM "Doomsday Derelicts" (Battle Kommand / Century Media)
cd ep 8.98
Hell YEAH! Chicago's reigning lords of spaced out, immensely
psychedelic black metal return with this 4 song rager, and if for some
reason you needed more proof that Nachtmystium was at the top of their
game, look no further. Few metal bands, black or otherwise, could pull
this kind of thing off without looking like the half assed amateurs
they undoubtedly are. Nachtmystium, on the other hand, expertly
utilize buzzing Moogs (and even piano!), tons of atmospheric FX, Blake
Judd's throat-shredding vocals, and enough thrashy riffs to keep this
thing going on repeat all night. It's not that any of these elements
in themselves are so unique, but Nachtmystium's approach is just so
classy, and while the results reveal plenty of impeccable influences
throughout metal's long and glorious history, the only band they sound
like at this point is Nachtmystium. They've got balls, and they aren't
afraid to go against the accepted "rules" of a genre that, in its own
way, is just as regimented as anything else. Unlike many metal bands,
Nachtmystium possess a strong sense of actual songcraft, which
ultimately makes them that much more potent, and in the end, it can't
be denied that Nachtmystium are one hell of a rock n' roll band. There
is just such a perfect understanding of how to groove. These riffs are
going to stay in your head for days, while the outstanding production,
courtesy of the band's new synth wrangler, Sanford Parker (Minsk,
Buried At Sea) clearly put these dudes multiple steps beyond the
competition - if there is any competition.
