Twilight was 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 Neill Jameson), "Malefic" (real name Scott Conner) and "Wrest" (real name Jef Whitehead). Lyrical themes reveal a fascination with darkness, , hate and death, rather than more common black metal subjects such as Satanism, anti-Christian blasphemy and paganism.

Although Twilight has so far released only one album and have not performed in public, they have been described as a "supergroup" of sorts on the American black metal underground. [For which, e.g., see: [http://www.southernlord.com/band_TWI.php Twilight bandpage] on Twilight Southern Lord Records, and reviews listed above.] The band members have, namely, gained their recognition with such outfits as Draugar, Krieg, Leviathan, Nachtmystium and Xasthur.

It was recently announced that Twilight has been 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. [ [http://www.battlekommand.com/twilight/twilight.html Twilight bandpage] on Battle Kommand Records.] For their second album Malefic (Scott Conner) was suppose to be replaced by Aaron Turner (of Isis and Old Man Gloom).
