Twilight is an American black metal band formed in 2005 and originally commissioned by the Swedish underground label Total Holocaust Records. Members of the band all go by pseudonyms: "Azentrius" (real name Blake Judd), "Hildolf" (real name Tim Lehi), "Imperial" (real name Neill Jameson), "Malefic" (real name Scott Conner) and "Wrest" (real name Jef Whitehead).
Although Twilight has so far released two albums and have not performed in public, they have been described as a "supergroup" of sorts on the American black metal underground.[1] The band members have, namely, gained their recognition with such outfits as Draugar, Krieg, Leviathan, Nachtmystium and Xasthur.
An announcement was made that Twilight disbanded. Battle Kommand Records had previously issued a statement that recordings for a second album commenced in the Spring of 2007, but no release date was ever announced.[2] For their second album Malefic (Scott Conner) was supposed to be replaced by Aaron Turner (of Isis and Old Man Gloom).
In 2009 Twilight reformed with original members Blake Judd (having dropped the "Azentrius" alias), Imperial (now called "N. Imperial"), and Wrest (referred to simply as "W.") joined by new members Sanford Parker, Aaron Turner, and Stavros Giannopolous (along with guest Robert Lowe of Lichens) to record a new album called Monument to Time End, recorded in 2009 and released in 2010 by Southern Lord Records.
