About Midnight
Midnight is the project of Athenar, who started it in Cleveland in the early 2000s and handles bass and vocals while writing most of the material. On stage the band performs in black executioner-style hoods.
The music is short, fast and deliberately rough: punk-speed songs with heavy metal riffs, blackened rasped vocals and lyrics about Satan, sex and excess. The early albums Satanic Royalty, No Mercy for Mayhem and Sweet Death and Ecstasy came out through Hells Headbangers before the band moved to Metal Blade for Rebirth by Blasphemy in 2020 and Let There Be Witchery in 2022.
