USBM "all-star" band formed in San Francisco in 2004.
With people from Nachtmystium, Leviathan, Isis, Minsk and more. Formerly also with Malefic from Xasthur on their first album before they split-up... just check the description below to fully understand that crazy line-up.
This one is their second and last album to date.
Strongly recommended if you like your BM to be progressive.
Better check it!
"When Twilight’s self-titled debut was delivered in 2005 it was an explosive new time for American black metal, where several stateside acts were captivating the world’s attention. It was during these times that a crew of henchmen hailing from said acts covertly assembled to formulate a collaborative album, under the banner of Twilight. Then comprised of members of Nachtmystium, Leviathan, Kreig, Xasthur and Drautran, the album’s gritty and varied content was an instant cult classic for the genre.
Due to personal differences within the unit, Twilight officially disbanded a year later, with no plans of a new record on the horizon. Yet in early 2009 several members resurrected a modified lineup. These alterations would expand this “follow-up release” into a full-blown masterpiece.
Twilight’s massive lineup on the upcoming Monument To Time End includes three founding members - Blake Judd (Nachtmystium), Wrest (Leviathan, Lurker of Chalice), and N. Imperial (Kreig), - and new recruits Stavros Giannopolous (The Atlas Moth), Sanford Parker (Minsk, Buried At Sea) and Aaron Turner (Isis, Old Man Gloom), as well as vocal contributions by Robert Lowe (Lichens, OM).on three tracks.
This wholly forward-thinking alignment of artists presents this Twilight release as an entirely new entity. Undoubtedly, the harsh and cantankerous black metal underbelly of the foundation of the unit is still intact throughout Monument To Time End, but it’s the visual hell the listener feels personified through the more dissonant, demented and ethereal realms of utter madness explored, where seemingly psychotropic nightmares come to life with an ethereal, beautiful vengeance."

"To give Twilight a bit of background and some elemental info to the uninformed, this combination integrates metal’s crème de la crème, the jeez of the cookie monster, this is the We Are the World team for Satan, the Brat Pack clad in black, so to speak. But the Twilight of 2010 is hardly the Twilight of 2005. At the time the project featured Xasthur’s Malefic, Nachtmystium's Azentrius (or Blake Judd) and Draugar’s Hildolf amongst others. By all accounts it was a purer black metal experiment. Now, with only three fifths of the first line up the range is far wider and the blackness is psychedelic. Back for a second serving are Wrest from Leviathan, vocalist N Imperial, who’s worked with Krieg amongst many others and Blake Judd. Joining them are Isis’ Aaron Turner, The Atlas Moth’s Stavros Giannopolous and studio maverick Sanford Parker in charge of the mini Moog and the special effects.
All those familiar with the works of those above can get an accurate picture of how the new Twilight sound like simply by imagining a mixture of black metal with layers of shoegaze and plenty of post metal hues brushed above. The collective result of Monument to Time End is expected. That’s a good thing, by the way. With all this talent there was almost no way to go wrong. There is so much music here. It must have been a daring task just to engineer this mammoth. Parker really had his hands full. The songs are super charged with sound, guitars and more guitars, screams and a plethora of psychedelic sounds, which gives Monument to Time End certain sci fi allure."
