NACHTMYSTIUM Frontman Discusses New Album, PINK FLOYD Influence In New Interview
July 2, 2008, 16 years ago
MetalSucks' Vince Neilstein recently had the opportunity to interview NACHTMYSTIUM singer/guitarist/brainchild Blake Judd to pick his brain about the band's new album, Assassins: Black Meddle, Pt 1. (Century Media).
Judd shared his thoughts on Assassins, his PINK FLOYD fetish, black metal, and other interesting tidbits.
An excerpt from the interview follows:
MetalSucks: Obviously your new album Assassins is inspired by Pink Floyd in more than just a passive way. How and when did you first get into Pink Floyd?
Blake Judd: "You¹re absolutely right on about the record. I first heard Pink Floyd when I was probably 5 years old. My parents bought me a turntable, as I was obsessed with music by the time I learned to walk, and they gave me a stack of their old vinyl (they both had killer collections, so I got the doubles they had left over), and there were Floyd records in there. I believe it was Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon. The song 'Welcome to the Machine' from W.Y.W.H was probably the first really dark music I¹d ever heard and it had a profound impact on me. Since then, I¹ve been a devout fan of the band and most of Gilmour and Waters' solo works."
