1. An occult black metal band formed in 1999 by Nox Corvus and Alcameth in Colorado (and joined by their third member, Ophis, a year later),
In 2000/2001, Nightbringer partook in a Horde of Darkenwood compilation CD with two songs and then recorded another two songs in 2002, “The Void” and “Mors Philosophorum”. These later two tracks were eventually used for the Nightbringer / Temple of Not “Rex Ex Ordine Throni” Split CD released on FMP in 2005, with the addition of two new songs recorded between 2003 and 2004 entitled, “The Dark and the Silence” and Nightbringer's “Vir Sapiens Dominabitur Astris”. Nightbringer's music on the Nightbringer / Temple of Not “Rex Ex Ordine Throni” Split CD has been described as "dark, scathing occult black metal of a higher caliber." Temple of Not is a project of Nightbringer's members and appears on the release with two lengthier tracks of amorphic black ambient. The Nightbringer / Temple of Not “Rex Ex Ordine Throni” split album was also released on gatefold double LP vinyl by Forever Plagued Records, U.S.A.
Nightbringer recorded their debut full-length "Death and the Black Work" late 2008. Nightbringer describe “Death and the Black Work” as a “major undertaking” and a “more complete vision of what we began with ‘Rex ex Ordine Throni'; descent into the corrosive waters of Lethe, falling into the two-fold death.”
The second full-length album titled "Apocalypse Sun" was released May 2010 featuring ten tracks which are comparatively shorter than on previous works.
2. Nightbringer is also a hardcore punk band from Ann Arbor, MI.

Nightbringer Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
I offer my flesh and blood that I may pluck a feather from the wings of the Angel of Death
May it be a quill with which I scribe the forms of thy sacred names
From the sanguine of my heart and open the gates to the labyrinth beyond slumber and death
Relinquishing my corporeal form to shadow as I will pass beyond in luminous form
With serpent tongue I summon those shades that would taste of the gifts of the living
I, psychopomp to the agape of the stygian maze
But one star shines tenebrous upon these colossal depths
Sup upon these vestments I cast away, oh shambling eidolons and shadow forms of murk and drear
And lay bare the knowledge unbegotten of any god
I ride the currents of Erebus upon ebon wings into aphonic gulfs unending
As a star new born I have become
A beacon in the abyss.
Come unto me Seraphim de Sopor Seculum
Approach me, angels of eternal sleep
I offer my flesh and blood that I may pluck a feather from the wings of the Angel of Death
I sacrifice myself to gain knowledge from the embodiment of death
May it be a quill with which I scribe the forms of thy sacred names
Let this feather be the tool to transcribe your divine names
From the sanguine of my heart and open the gates to the labyrinth beyond slumber and death
By using my blood, I unlock the gates to the realm beyond sleep and death
Relinquishing my corporeal form to shadow as I will pass beyond in luminous form
Leaving my physical body behind, I will transcend into a radiant form
With serpent tongue I summon those shades that would taste of the gifts of the living
Using my persuasive words, I call forth spirits desiring mortal experiences
I, psychopomp to the agape of the stygian maze
I, a guide to the gaping depths of the underworld
But one star shines tenebrous upon these colossal depths
Yet, amid the vast darkness, there is one faint light
Nefarious pulsing Daemon's Head, risen in culmination above the atramentous wastes
The wicked and powerful head of a demon emerges above the desolate darkness
Sup upon these vestments I cast away, oh shambling eidolons and shadow forms of murk and drear
Consume the discarded garments, oh wandering spirits and murky shadows
And lay bare the knowledge unbegotten of any god
Reveal the forbidden knowledge that even gods do not possess
I ride the currents of Erebus upon ebon wings into aphonic gulfs unending
I traverse the endless depths of silence, riding the currents of the dark abyss
As a star new born, I have become
Like a recently formed star, I have transformed
A beacon in the abyss.
A guiding light amidst the abyss.
