Blake Judd is the guitarist, vocalist and sole consistent member of the black metal band Nachtmystium. The band is about to release the album Silencing Machine, which is the follow-up to the acclaimed Black Meddle albums that present Judd and company’s musically adventurous side.
Here is a phone conversation I had with Judd in which he discusses his earliest musical memories, that awkward moment when a fan calls you your black metal pseudonym in front of your parents, his introduction to black metal, the new album, that scene in Family Guy with a guy who looks A LOT like him and more.
Here the full interview and examples of Judd’s work after the jump.
The issue of Spin that changed Judd’s life.

Whoa. That’s never happened before.
He’s right. You should check out their merch especially the signed Poster.
That’s awesome Blake Judd commented on your story! Also I love that pic of Trent Reznor- I’m pretty sure I had that pic on my geocities NIN fansite I made in middle school.
