When NACHTMYSTIUM released "The World We Left Behind" in 2014, the album received quite a lot of flak. Most of that had to do with the descent of the band's mastermind, Blake Judd, into a hard addiction to heroin that had started to grow years earlier out of opioid prescription and general drug abuse. And while the black metal scene has been quite forgiving of murder, arson, political extremism, and other crimes (after time was served and the culprits rehabilitated), being ill and an addict seems unforgivable to some. This led to "The World We Left Behind" being harshly judged for anything but its musical value and the album ending up in some kind of critical black hole. Blake has called this album "a final death-cry from the 'Black Meddle' era and line-up", which is quite an accurate description. New additions to the musical legacy of that glorious era are glimpses into the chaos behind the scenes, the inner darkness that held the band in its grip, and a brutal lyrical honesty. These elements fit the black metal genre only too well. It is about time to return to "The World We Left Behind" and for an honest re-evaluation based on its many musical merits that can hardly be disputed.
