Midnight announce new album ‘Rebirth by Blasphemy’
MIDNIGHT have announced a new album!
Having already previously released the title track, today the band have now announced they will release their new album Rebirth By Blasphemy in January next year. The upcoming album will be released via their new home at Metal Blade Records.
“Rebirth By Blasphemy is a rebirth,” states MIDNIGHT‘s sole driving force, Athenar. “It’s a change in life and it’s a rebirth of doing whatever the fuck you want and seeing what happens after that. It’s about saying yes, taking opportunities, taking a fucking chance.”
Handling every instrument himself and being quite unfussy when it comes to production typically means that the recording process is a straightforward one for the band, and this time was no different. Staying in his home town of Cleveland, Athenar opted to record at Mercenary Studios with the assistance of Noah Buchanan, laying the drums down in a day, the guitars in a little more than that, bass in a few hours, and then tracking the vocals to two or three songs a day. “I think there’s really no production value on the album, it’s really just get in there, press record and see what happens. Maybe you can tell that the sessions went pretty quickly when you listen to it. There are so-called mistakes, of course, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.” He also wouldn’t have it any other way when it comes to touring this latest collection hard, with a lot of dates with a variety of bands already locked down. “It’s the rebirth, it’s saying fuck it and getting out there and doing what you’re supposed to do, and we’re supposed to play music. If people want to damage their ears by listening to it, that’s welcomed.”
