On January 24th, Ohio-based blackened speed metallers Midnight will release their new album, Rebirth by Blasphemy, via Metal Blade Records, and to give fans a taste of the filth to come, the band has debut a brand new track titled "Rising Scum," which can be heard below.
The track is a super simple one and a lot slower than the Midnight you may be used to hearing, but it's also insanely catchy and Evil with a capital "E."
"Rebirth By Blasphemy is a rebirth," states Midnight‘s sole driving force, Athenar. "It’s a change in life and it’s a rebirth of doing whatever the fuck you want and seeing what happens after that. It’s about saying yes, taking opportunities, taking a fucking chance."
These sentiments are backed up by the notorious – and prolific – underground band’s trademark blend of speed metal, black metal and punk rock, sounding both fuller and more raucous than ever before.
NYC fans can hear Rebirth by Blasphemy (with the band!) before its release by attending the official listening party at Saint Vitus Bar on January 10th from 6-9PM. See the below event flyer for more details.
