Tonight Tonight in Music: Pentagram, Nachtmystium, Emeralds, Sol Negro, Witchburn
Posted by Chris Govella on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 9:00 AM
In Up & Coming tonight:
Pentagram, Nachtmystium, Emeralds, Sol Negro, Witchburn(Studio Seven) Chicago's controversial black-metal band Nachtmystium (see their Wikipedia page) flaunt ultratechnical instrumental flourishes, shredding guitars and vocal cords with equally sadistic relish. Led by guitarist/vocalist Blake Judd (aka Azentrius), they build up a helluva symphonic ruckus. If composer Richard Wagner were born in the 1970s, he'd probably be in a band like Nachtmystium. Maryland's venerable Pentagram emerged in 1971, when Ozzy was svelte and somewhat coherent, and they've maintained an on-and-off career as one of doom metal's most resilient post-Sabbath metallurgists. Local sextet Emeralds inject some liveliness into the stoner-rock template; their exciting dynamics and memorable riffs prove the green hasn't gotten the best of 'em yet. DAVE SEGAL
