    Got to meet Midnight at a sound check with my 15yo son last year. Super nice guys and even asked him “what song do you want to hear?”. They played him All Hail Hell, per his request. The term, never meet your hero’s, doesn’t apply to these guys. He’ll never forget it. Thanks Midnight!

    I saw Midnight at the Fillmore in Denver with Merciful Fate (2022) and bought the cd twice, because I dropped the first while headbanging. Great night, awesome performances: thanks Athenar. Thanks J-Dawg for having more of the Midnight catalogue (the bonus live cds were a nice addition).

    I just checked out Midnight because of this interview. I'd heard there name come up here and there, but, I never actually listened to them. I've been looking for a band like them! Best of Motorhead, Venom/Early Black Metal, and Speed/Thrash metal all rolled into one! Really dig their sound and energy on stage.

This is about as under-rated an album that you'll ever encounter. Happy hunting with that.👍

There was all kinds of stuff, but the ones I still remember were the Venom: Nightmare disc and two or three of those Samantha Fox ones, which are really nice to look at. I would like to get all of them at some point myself.
