Addicts: Black Meddle, Part II
Addicts: Black Meddle, Pt. II is the fifth full-length album by Chicago band Nachtmystium. It was released via Century Media Records in the United States on June 8, 2010,[7] and by Candlelight Records in Europe a few days later. The recording took place in January 2010 at Volume Studios in Chicago, IL.[8]
Mainman Blake Judd said this about the new album:[9]
The new material is reminiscent of Assassins with more of a rock and roll edge over all. Our love for post-rock and industrial (a la Ministry, Killing Joke, etc.) is even more present this time around. We're hoping to make a record that will continue to push extreme music into uncharted territories.
The album artwork was made by Derek Lea, Jimmy Hubbard and Seldon Hunt. A promotional video on YouTube for the album was released by Century Media on YouTube on April 18, 2010.[10]
All music was written by Nachtmystium, all lyrics written by Chris Black, except "Ruined Life Continuum" which features lyrics by Blake Judd and Chris Black.
