Cleveland, Ohio's solo project Midnight has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, speed metal and punk and this is a review of his 2025 album "Steel, Rust And Disgust" which will be released on May 23rd by Metal Blade Records which consists of a couple of originals tracks and mostly covers.
A very heard and heavy sound starts off the album along with some melodic metal/punk guitar solos and leads a few seconds later. Vocals are done in more of a first wave black metal style while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the music also adds in a lot of speed metal elements.
Among the groups that are covered on the album are Kratos, Synastryche, Rocket From The Tombs, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Rubber City Rebels, Dead Boys, David Allan Coe, False Hope and Electric Eels. Most of the newer versions of those songs covered are changed into a way that they can pass for original tracks written by the band performing these songs.
Some of the guitar riffing also shows an influence of thrash metal along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow and mid paced parts, when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard and the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction and the production also sounds very professional.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Midnight and if you are a fan of this solo project, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cleveland Metal" "Final Solution' "Rock N' Roll Fever" and "Agitated". 8 out of 10.
