Midnight are a solo project from Cleveland, Ohio that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a mixture of black, speed metal and punk and this is a review of his 2024 album "Hellish Expectations" which will be released in march by Metal Blade Records.
A very heavy 80's influenced sound starts off the album which also brings in elements of speed and thrash metal. Vocals are done in more of a first wave black metal style while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the music also capturing the raw energy off punk rock at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain very true to an old school style while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. The songs also take a retro style and make them sound modern again along with all of the tracks also sticking to a heavier direction.
On this recording Midnight goes for more of a mixture of black, thrash, speed metal and punk. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Hell, Satanism, Blasphemy, Death and Darkness themes.
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 "Expect Total Hell" "Dungeon Lust" "Deliver us To The Devil" and "Doom Death Desire". 8 out of 10.
