NEW DIGIPAK CD EDITION W/SIGNED POSTER + ADDITIONAL INSERT, OUT NOW / JULY 2025!

The original attempted recording of Nachtmystium's debut album, 'Reign of the Malicious'. Five songs were recorded at Blake Judd's uncle's home recording studio in February, 2001. They were tracked on a fairly modern (at the time) digital 12 track home recording console. The band were displeased with the digital sound and returned to their rehearsal spot to record the album known as 'Reign of the Malicious' on their trusty Tascam Porta-02 four track machine that had served them so well on the two previous demo releases a year earlier.

Also included on the digipak CD is Nachtmystium's original track from our 2005 split 7" with Krieg, "Keep Them Open" (featuring MkM from Antaeus on vocals and the core members of Bone Awl as my bass / drum section), and then our 2013, studio-recorded cover of Burzum's 1992 classic, "Det Som Engang Var'', from 'The World We Left Behind' LP sessions in August, 2013.

Limited to 100 numbered digipak CDs!
