THURSTON MOORE* joined TWILIGHT**???????
This is the only black metal news I've been excited about in YEARS AND YEARS
*Sonic Youth
**BM supergroup, not ambiguously gay vampires
In his post (?) Sonic Youth career, Thurston Moore has taken a bit of an aesthetic turn: he's joined the black metal supergroup Twilight. Nachtmystium guitarist/vocalist Blake Judd, also a member of Twilight, revealed this in an interview with the 1st Five.
For their upcoming album, out this fall on Century Media, the Twilight lineup will consist of Moore, Judd, producer Sanford Parker, Stavros Giannopoulos from the Atlas Moth, Wrest of Leviathan, and Imperial from Krieg. Judd told the 1st Five that he hopes to get Isis' Aaron Turner, Lichens' Rob Lowe, and Malefic of Xasthur to also contribute.
Judd told the 1st Five:
You know Century Media could offer us a hundred thousand dollars to make that Twilight record and say: 'Blake, you get ninety percent of that money but Thurston Moore's not gonna be on the record, or, you can be on it and we'll give you ten grand and that's what you have to make it work.' And I would, I would take the ten grand and work with Thurston. That's like how much I love Sonic Youth.
Judd alluded to Moore's involvement in an interview with Brandon Stosuy for a recent "Show No Mercy" column, and explained how they met:
Pitchfork: It's the same lineup as the last record?
BJ: Pretty much. I know [the Atlas Moth's] Stavros [Giannopoulos] and Sanford will be involved and there's talk of Thurston Moore being involved. He was really interested in doing it and he's a big black metal fan. Sanford knows him because his old studio was run with a guy named Jeremy Lemos who was Sonic Youth's sound man for a long time, so that's our connection to them. Sanford had spoken to him when we were doing the last album about maybe getting involved. Timing wasn't right then, but he said he was super interested in doing something down the line. So if we add anybody else, that's who it will be.
Moore is also playing with his new Matador-signed band Chelsea Light Moving, which he fronts. Just over a week ago, Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo told the BBC that the band is preparing archival recordings and films for release.

...and why would a record company offer you less money to include a popular musician who could bring in a whole a different fanbase of potential album buyers?

Agreed. But I still want to hear this. 80s Sonic Youth is some cold, heavy tune-age that really sounds like nothing else ever, and may work in a black metal type project. Moore usually knows what he's doing, and would definitely NOT be hopping on a bandwagon.

Musically I quite like the first Twilight album, but I'll be damned if the entire lot of them don't look like hipster faggoths.

They've kept it pretty damn respectable, though. They released a shitload of albums since then, and a couple of them are near-classics. Mainly I was thinking of a stylistic POV. Their 80s stuff was much weirder and darker.
