Midnight announce new album ‘Hellish Expectations’

MIDNIGHT have announced a new album!

Titled Hellish Expectations, the upcoming album from the Cleveland, Ohio-based blackened speed metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Let There Be Witchery, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Metal Blade Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, band mastermind Athenar says, “it’s a knuckle dragger with a fat cutof. 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.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; F.O.A.L.. Speaking about the new song, Athenar says, Fuck Off And Live is an ode to the people who peacefully want to die to escape the realities of life, while they should really live and suffer.”
