''Zehn essenzielle USBM-Alben als Einstiegsdroge''. In: ''Metal Hammer'', August 2007, p. 89.〕 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".〔J. Bennett: (''Twilight'' ).〕 ''Metal Hammer'' journalist Gunnar Sauermann listed ''Twilight'' as an essential US black metal album.〔 An announcement was made that Twilight disbanded. Battle Kommand Records had previously issued a statement that writing for a second album had begun in 2006〔(''BATTLE KOMMAND RECORDS'' ).〕 and that recordings commenced in the Spring of 2007,〔(''BATTLE KOMMAND RECORDS'' ).〕 but no release date was ever announced. Malefic left the band in 2007〔 and 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.
