Athenar, the one-man army behind Midnight, has been creating a relentless racket for over two decades, dropping numerous demos, splits, and EPs. Slaying the metal/punk underground with a highly addictive blend of lust, grime, and sleaze, Midnight is known for its filthy, belligerent, and unapologetically obnoxious sound. In 2024, Athenar returns with Hellish Expectations, a ten-track sonic assault of blackened heavy metal nefariousness.

Athenar shared the following:

It's a knuckle dragger with a fat cutoff, Pure testosterone meat. Probably the most concise and straight to the point MIDNIGHT album to date, and all written in a weekend. The album was written on pure reaction upon leaving the studio after listening to raw tracks from the previous album Let There Be Witchery. The final mix of that album was good, but at the time of laying it down in the studio, I didn't like what I was hearing and demanded a new leviathan of an album to be written that weekend.
