Nachtmystium Reissues Coming From Earache Records

(Metal Hammer) Earache Records have acquired the rights to the bulk of Nachtmystium's back catalogue. The British label plan to reissue a number of titles over the coming months - with a collection of previously unreleased tracks, covers and remixes titled Retox currently in the works.

The band were dropped by Century Media in 2014 in the aftermath of unfulfilled album orders taken directly by frontman Blake Judd, who was suffering from drug addiction at the time. He'd said the delay was a result of incorrect paperwork and insisted fans wouldn't be "ripped off" - but later took down his band's Facebook page and website following widespread backlash from fans.

Judd now says he wants to "make things right" with fans who didn't receive their order during that period - adding that he'd give away "every single record and CD" he receives if necessary in order to make amends.

He says: "Understandably many people, due to some issues that occurred in the past that I am very ashamed of, will be quick to jump on me personally and most likely Earache for announcing new releases without having directly addressed and taken action regarding the past issues mentioned above."
