This is one of two versions of this compilation of alternative mixes / recordings and performances from 'Blight Privilege's creative process and recording between 2020 and October, 2023 when the album was finalized and became 'Blight Privlege' as it was shipped of to Ken Sorceron (Abigail Williams) up in coastal Oregon for mastering (and a surprise new bass track from Ken for better tonal quality)

Blake Judd's home mixes of the "Blight Privilege' LP, 2024, prior to sending it to Ken Sorceron for mixing at his professional studio (with his professional skill set applied). Blake Judd engineered the majority of 'Blight Privilege' and tracked all his guitars, bass, synths and vocals by himself, edited them and prepped the stems for proper mixing (as he's untrained in this area of recording at this stage in the game). However, that didn't stop him from making his own reference mixes for Ken to use as a guide of what the band wanted it to sound like in terms of where everything sat within the mix, vocal effects, etc.

Quite remarkable what a difference some of the tracks have. We hear this (as the band), as the more feral and honest sounding of the two versions. No disrespect to the actual albums mix, this was a standard set by prior Nachtmystium recordings that we were expected to live up to. However, being fans of raw black metal our entire lives more or less, we felt it necessary to put this out for fans and as a testament to the first album in 25 years that Blake Judd engineered and recorded 90% of entirely alone.
