Hate to burst your bubble, but the best songs are those composed in a few minutes and laid to track. It took him two-plus-hours because he tracked it all by himself.
Joelissa manCrye this guy. Im a musician myself and its not easy to write a good song. lets see how well you can put a song together in a couple hours lol
This was fucking great! It's always nice to get into the head of an artist and see how they do their work. In this case it was beyond my expectations. Great job Athenar, you managed to recreate that first wave sound we all love and know!
The chords on the chorus reminds me of the main riff of Operation by Circle Jerks & that song i never noticed kinda sounds influenced by Sonic Reducer by Dead Boys.
One man in a room with his instruments. Metallica pays Rick Rubin a million dollars to make their warehouse full of equipment sound like this and their album sounds like garbage.
The visual is iconic and beautiful. But I think it would sound better without the mask (at least on studio). And apparently he also plays bass with gloves sometimes lol. Nice discovery anyway, deserves more attention.
Criminally underrated group of musicians. I love this band.
To my knowledge athenar is still the driving force and sole member of all studio recordings
Talented guy here. Midnight is awesome.
It’s all the same guy. He gets 2 fill ins for live shows. But as far the recording…it’s all him!
"We've got about 2 hours"
*Looks at wrist with no watch on*
Lmao
He's got no eyes either, how did he know where to look.....
I do this shit all the time too lmao
"sitting this style in the middle of the room is very comfortable."
*sits in a hallway*
haha AND the song rrrrrrrooooooooooocksssssssss
Bass is really the best instrument to play live. It’s so enjoyable to ride the song on a delicious bass.
You feel that shit in your bones when your amp is explosively loud onstage too.
Thanks for pointing out exactly what Athenar said…
...the spirit of Motörhead runs deep through this.
@Danny Dircio classic

@@ThDirtyCurfDrummer ...who bubble are you intending burst here exactly?
They always made me think of venom
Motörhead x Venom x early Bathory x Discharge x Mentors x Dead Boys= Midnight
Love the Motorhead thrash blackmetal vibe midnight brings too the table
What Band? Ohhh.. you mean Motörhead
Sounds great!
Ayy, Hellripper showed up to the party!
Right here after Hellish Expectations came out.
Another reason to love Midnight, it’s one guy’s vision and talent.
It takes some talent to write something like this in two hours
Not really.
Joelissa manCrye this guy. Im a musician myself and its not easy to write a good song. lets see how well you can put a song together in a couple hours lol
@@joelissamancrye2799 lol oh Id love to hear your song. Oh...wait...no I wouldn't.
Sounds like a tighter, more metal GG Allin channelled through Venom.
Fuck yes. Midnight kicks ass. I love GG Allin, Venom, and Midnight!
Always thought i heard a bit of gg allen in midnight but didnt think anyone else would agree...but here we are lol
@@superunknown2812 I could see GG tearing it up in a Midnight pit.
Edit: or collaborating with Athenar.
his isolated vocal is giving gg reading poetry in the bes way 😂
Everytime I see this guy interviewed I like midnight a little more
Athenar is amazing. Midnight rules. Super underrated but I sense they're going to soar with this new album
Hammersmashed68 I thought the new album was a bit underwhelming, but now that I know it is a one man band, I need to listen again.
There were MILLIONS of bands playing exactly like Midnight. They are not "underrated", they are rated just right.
M.P. Recomendations, please.
@@HamaChanCutter I don't recommend any of them. Just listen to Venom.
@@HamaChanCutter I'd check out Whipstriker if you want something along these lines.
This song needs to be released. Fucking love it. "They give you hell, you take their life" \m/
This was fucking great! It's always nice to get into the head of an artist and see how they do their work. In this case it was beyond my expectations. Great job Athenar, you managed to recreate that first wave sound we all love and know!
Ulver
@@devonscope6222 D
2:10 kinda reminds me of the Grim Reaper on Family Guy
You simply gotta love this dude!
This actually is pretty decent and has a lot replay value for a song done in 2 hours!
IstuvaRuumis agreed
For real
Punk, Raw and Genius... Athenar, you are a true rocker!
Didn’t expect to like it but really enjoyed the song. For a tune made in 2 hs it’s pretty amazing. Very punk rock, sounds great, solid tone, catchy.
4:51 EPIC! Hail Athenar, Hail Midnight
This is a cool idea for a series
This guy gets done in 2 hours more than what I get done in a week
Will always remember this decade or less as the black-crust-dbeat-rnr-motorhead-venom soundalike metal
Love it
So DOPE please bring this out soon
I just heard of this band 30 minutes ago..... they are freaking awesome
That solo is the greatest ass pull ever
Fn amazing watching Athenar in the studio working his magic, killer song too!!
It's sort of like if Toxic Holocaust and Motörhead had a masked baby.
Basically what midnight is
Add Venom to the mix
Toxic suck.
Awesome! I'd love to see tons of people/bands do this 2 hour challenge, but probably hard to beat athenar judging by this!
He sings just like Cronos.
M. P. Exactly.
Motörhead x Venom x early Bathory x Discharge x Mentors x Dead Boys= Midnight
Cronos was a ginormous influence
Every time I see the thumbnail i think of mgła
Reminds me of Venom
Midnight's like the glorious lovechild of Motörhead and Venom
How why
Motörhead x Venom x early Bathory x Discharge x Mentors x Dead Boys= Midnight
@@lowriderskin this guy gets it!
So great! Love Athenar! This video is very inspiring!
Discovered Midnight by accident. Absolutely awesome and the mask adds mystique
Got my VIP tickets to see them this month in albuquerque
Wait a minute...you mean he doesn't already write all his tunes in 2 hours?
when u have corona virus but still need to get interviewed by Metal Injection*
When varg is waiting for you outside in the forest but you still gotta record
2:04 Quoting lord Schank himself.
ATHENARRRR
So like when can we listen on Spotify or single release?
Good enginner, great works
Pretty rad. Good work
I feel some Motörhead and venom vibes in this song
Lemmy would be very proud of this.
All Hail! Black rock n roll!
Yessir!!!
i hope this is tongue in cheek
Motorhead!!!! Motorhead!!! And venom influence!!!!
I wanted to hear this live.
The chords on the chorus reminds me of the main riff of Operation by Circle Jerks & that song i never noticed kinda sounds influenced by Sonic Reducer by Dead Boys.
Lemmy now smiling, feeling proud of his heritage \m/
Yes!
Love the Mike Shank American Movie reference.
Sounds a bit like GG. I’m into it
Hell yes!!!
Cool song awesome job Athena!
This is awesome af 🤘🤘🤘
saw these guys friday it was fucking great
Midnight does in two hours by himself what it takes Beyoncé six months and an entire team of writers/musicians.
That bass tone 🔥🔥
Definite Venom influence here.
Its a kicker for 2 hours from scratch.
One man in a room with his instruments. Metallica pays Rick Rubin a million dollars to make their warehouse full of equipment sound like this and their album sounds like garbage.
Tbh I didn't know Athenar could play drums and guitar I thought it was just bass
He plays Bass live, but he does everything on their studio releases
Does anyone know what tuning his bass is in
Awesome
Black knife wants to do a split with midnight! Sounds like a ripper! Hails..
Midnight fucking rules
Killer.
Very good
Me and my buddies also did a song in 2 hours. We didnt have good equipment tho but it was something like this.
Awesome🤘🤘
We do this stuff as well. Good boy
Fucking awesome!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 amo!
Actually probably one of his best song’s oddly enuff ahaha
Venom and motorhead 🤘🏻
Nice song...Nice watch too..😆
Fkkn legend
🖤
See you at Kilkim Žaibu!
Not bad at all... When it comes to these challenges I think 66Samus takes the cake, but this is one is great as well!
midnight is cool
Fucking Yeah💥
is he the only member? when i saw them years ago i thought there were more people in that band.
He writes everything, the band is a supporting one
Gnarly 🤘🏽
Legacy of Venom and Motörhead ''Midnight ''
I like it
Venom sound....
With a touch of Motorhead
The visual is iconic and beautiful. But I think it would sound better without the mask (at least on studio). And apparently he also plays bass with gloves sometimes lol. Nice discovery anyway, deserves more attention.
Not bad
Every local bar band ever. Still rips and would drink to this
"My brain's fartin' again"
VENOM VENOM VENOM
Motorhead I like it
1000% real
RENEGADE !
black n rolllllllll
This is more OUGH! than war metal
fucking A bro! yo some motorhead and GG Allin brother badass my friend!!!!!!!!!
This sounds like Venom
Well, it sounds better than Venom
