Cleveland, Ohio-based black \/ thrash metal project Midnight have filmed a music video for the track \u2018Szex Witchery\u2019. Directed by David Brodsky, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Midnight issued fifth full-length studio album Let There Be Witchery<\/em> on March 4th, 2022 through Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n

Let There Be Witchery<\/em> was recorded at Mercenary Studios in Cleveland with producer Noah Buchanan once again, with mainman Jamie \u2018Athenar\u2019 Walters also recording all of the instruments once again. \u201cIt\u2019s still just me and my science project gone awry. I realize I\u2019m musically handicapped, but there\u2019s a charm to it,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I were to give actual good advice, I would say stay clear of anything to do with Midnight,\u201d Athenar continued. \u201cBut I\u2019m not a rational thinker, so as usual, I will give terrible advice and say punish your earholes and play this album as loud as your stereo goes, go out to a gig and mingle with others that you don\u2019t know, lick their faces and rub upon each other\u2019s sweaty torsos to the hellish, neanderthalish noise of a band called Midnight! You gotta release your demons somehow! That\u2019s why you should give a shit, or two.\u201d<\/p>\n
