Midnight announce new album ‘Let There Be Witchery’
MIDNIGHT have announced a new album!
Titled Let There Be Witchery, the upcoming album from the blackened heavy metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Rebirth By Blasphemy and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Metal Blade Records.
“I always want it to be loud and nasty,” band mastermind Athenar asserts about the upcoming album. “That kinda thing never gets old with me. How funny will that look to see me at age 77 – if I reach that point – sitting on the porch blasting HELLHAMMER?” When it came to tracking the record, Athenar returned to Mercenary Studios in Cleveland, OH and producer Noah Buchanan, who makes it very easy for him to cut loose and make noise, choosing to once again record all the instruments himself despite having a live band that could step in and help out. “It’s still just me and my science project gone awry. I realize I’m musically handicapped, but there’s a charm to it.”
Mulling over the question as to why anyone should actually give a shit about the band, he once again comes up with a typically Athenar answer: “If I were to give actual good advice, I would say stay clear of anything to do with MIDNIGHT. But I’m not a rational thinker, so as usual, I will give terrible advice and say punish your earholes and play this album as loud as your stereo goes, go out to a gig and mingle with others that you don’t know, lick their faces and rub upon each other’s sweaty torsos to the hellish, neanderthalish noise of a band called Midnight! You gotta release your demons somehow! That’s why you should give a shit, or two.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; Szex Witchery.
