Buy here: The new album “Hellish Expectations“ will be out March 8, 2024. One-man-army, Athenar, has been churning out an ungodly racket, dropping countless demos, splits, and EPs for over two decades, ultimately slaying the metal/punk underground with his own, highly addictive brand of lust, grime, and sleaze. Filthy, belligerent, and unapologetically obnoxious, MIDNIGHT makes music to start fights to and in 2024 Athenar returns with Hellish Expectations, a ten-track sonic assault of blackened heavy metal nefariousness. “It’s a knuckle dragger with a fat cutoff,” elaborates Athenar, “Pure testosterone meat. Probably the most concise and straight to the point MIDNIGHT album to date, and all written in a weekend. The album was written on pure reaction upon leaving the studio after listening to raw tracks from the previous album Let There Be Witchery. The final mix of that album was good, but at the time of laying it down in the studio, I didn't like what I was hearing and demanded a new leviathan of an album to be written that weekend.“ LYRICS: Why would i want you to die? So you could be free? Don't want to see you in hell Not next to me Leave you to revel in pain No signs of remorse The hammer of fate hits hard With violent force Fuck off and live! Fuck off, fuck off and live! Fuck off, fuck off and live! Some may say it's enough to FOAD So reek rot decay gloriously, gloriously Fuck off and live bastard! Fuck off and live! Fuck off, fuck off and live! Fuck off, fuck off and live! Don't waste your time to pray For terminal grief Your fortune is fester Your spirit never released Crawl on your knees to the grave And hope it's the end The reaper denies all pleas For your soul to rest, no rest from the reaper Fuck off and live! #midnight #metalbladerecords #hellishexpectations
