Twilight (band)

Although Twilight has so far released three albums and have not performed in public, they have been described as a "supergroup" of sorts on the American black metal underground. The band members have, namely, gained their recognition with such outfits as Draugar, Krieg, Leviathan, Nachtmystium and Xasthur. The first album was "recorded on four-track cassettes sent back and forth through the mail by the five members" and "captures the myriad sonic idiosyncrasies of the individual players, from Xasthur’s charred synth ambience and Leviathan’s expert d-drum patterns to Draugar’s cavernous vocals and Nachtmystium’s ruthless guitar torture". Metal Hammer journalist Gunnar Sauermann listed Twilight as an essential US black metal album. and that recordings commenced in the Spring of 2007, but no release date was ever announced. Malefic left the band in 2007 In November, 2013, the band finished recording its final studio album, ''III: Beneath Trident's Tomb''. It was released on 18 March 2014. == Musical style ==

According to Sauermann, the members are egocentric and assert themselves at diverse points in the recordings, leading to influences from black, thrash and death metal appearing through a "washed-out" production, which hides "great melodies, bare hate and leaden solitude". == Members ==
