MIDNIGHT Unleashes Hell with 'Satanic Attack Live!'

By Jason •
Cleveland's filth metal saviors deliver a raw, unhinged live experience with their latest release.

In a blistering display of chaos and carnage, the notorious MIDNIGHT ripped through two sold-out shows in Los Angeles on May 28-29, 2026, leaving the audience gasping for breath and begging for more. As part of their 'Satanic Royalty 15th Anniversary World Tour,' the band unleashed their brand of unrepentant filth metal at the legendary Knucklehead, capturing the very essence of their live ferocity in what’s set to be a monumental release: 'Satanic Attack Live!' out on November 6 via Metal Blade Records.

Recorded by the ever-reliable Mark Borders and meticulously mixed and mastered by Zach Rippy, 'Satanic Attack Live!' features a savage setlist that brings ten tracks from their seminal 2011 album 'Satanic Royalty' back to life. Coupled with five additional tracks like 'Shock Til Blood' and 'Fucking Speed And Darkness,' this album is not just a record; it's a visceral experience designed to drown you in a sea of lust, grime, and pure metal mayhem.

Jamie 'Athenar' Walters, the man behind the madness, humorously reflects on the improbability of such a live album coming to fruition. 'Did I ever think there would be a MIDNIGHT live, in concert record album? Haha shit, naw!,' he chuckles. 'But if you're reading this, you are probably holding a copy in your bloody semen/leukorrhea-dripping paws.' With help from the likes of D.K. Vagslay and Iron Possessor, along with an army of die-hard Hollywood sleazeballs, they’ve crafted a document of disgust that no true metalhead can ignore.

Fans can get a taste of the chaos with the video for 'You Can't Stop Steel,' which showcases the band's unapologetic energy. 'Satanic Attack Live!' will be available in multiple formats, including CD, digital, and vinyl with a limited-edition poster in various color variants, ensuring that collectors and fans alike can revel in MIDNIGHT's unholy offerings.

The tracklist is a ferocious journey through MIDNIGHT's legacy, featuring fan-favorites like 'Unholy And Rotten' and 'Savage Dominance.' Athenar, despite being a one-man-army, has become a titan in the underground scene, bringing his twisted vision to life for over two decades. Originally from the metal band BOULDER, he formed MIDNIGHT to break free from the shackles of band politics, opting instead to unleash his unfiltered creativity in a way that only he can.

For those who revel in the unbridled chaos of metal, prepare to be engulfed by 'Satanic Attack Live!'—a testament to MIDNIGHT's reign in the underbelly of the metal world.
