Midnight is a one-man blackened speed metal project formed in Cleveland, Ohio, by multi-instrumentalist Athenar (real name Jamie Walters). Since the early 2000s, Midnight has built a cult following with its raw, no-frills blend of black metal, thrash, punk, and rock 'n' roll energy. Known for leather-clad performances and masked live shows, Midnight delivers a high-octane mix of sleaze, satanic themes, and old-school metal attitude.
The project made waves in the underground metal scene with early demos and EPs before gaining wider attention with full-length albums like Satanic Royalty (2011) and Rebirth by Blasphemy (2020), the latter released through Metal Blade Records. Midnight has become known for tracks that embrace both speed and filth—earning a loyal fanbase drawn to the band’s DIY ethos and unrelenting sonic assault.
