The wait for Midnight’s new album, Rebirth By Blasphemy, is almost over – and according to mastermind 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.”
We’ll have some of that, and so can you: Feasting your ears on ‘Fucking Speed And Darkness’!
As sole protagonist, Athenar’s recording process was a straight-forward affair, and with the help of Noah Buchanan at Mercenery Studios, he spat the whole thing out in no time:
“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.”
