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!
