Project of Eviigne. Part of the Southern Elite Circle from Argentina, a group of anti-communist raw black metal bands with some neo-classical overtones (but still very minimal, not symphonic or typically classical influenced black metal).

Nachtgeblüt was born as a solo-project aside Eviigne's bands Ulfhethnar, Argenraza and Campo de Mayo, and its aim is to spread a new philosophy in the BM scene, spurning the typical dull jewish-satanism, the commercial romanticisms and tears, the pathetically easy piano melodies and conventional themes, and the resentful spirit of all the childish bands, and promoting the idea of the need of an aesthetical and intellectual improvement in the scene, more in accord with a Nietszchean style of life. The characters of the objective genius of Schopenhauer, of the Byronic and Wagnerian outcasts, and of the free spirit of Nietzsche are Eviigne's search, besides the high aesthetics and philosophy of the ancient Europe, but starting from a more radical quest. The first Nachtgeblüt demo-album, “Frozen streams of forgotten knowledge”, is just the throwing off of the old purposeless ideals, born from childish rebellion and resentment, and the enthroning of pride and self-overcoming as new ones. The second album, “Strange ways to ancient times”, divided in three Books (the third one released separately as “Ways that noone shall ever follow”), is positive instead and clearly points to a mighty homage to the occidental culture going from the Dark Ages to the Baroque and Romantic periods, both musically and lyrically, so that Eviigne deviated from black metal to classical music and from conventional lyrics to Miltonian exaltations of Nietzschean values, and even philosophically and aesthetically, where Eviigne wandered strange ways so to bring forth those ancient and aristocratic times again, waging war against the values of the socialist equalitarian and materialist modernity. These are Eviigne's own punctual ideals, not to be followed but as examples of the way of the creator.
