“Unfiltered, savage and animalistic.” That\u2019s how Midnight main-man Athenar describes his second long player for Metal Blade Records (his fifth studio record overall), and I for one, think he\u2019s hit the (nine inch) nail bang on the head with that description, because \u2018Let There Be Witchery\u2019 is indeed, a total beast of a record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the blistering opener \u2018Telepathic Nightmare\u2019 (which sounds like Discharge jamming with Hellhammer) through to closer (and perhaps one of the album\u2019s most \u201ccommercial?\u201d tracks) \u2018Szex Witchery\u2019, what you get is a set of songs that are, without question, Midnight\u2019s strongest to date. You can forget the comments I made when reviewing their last album – \u2018Rebirth By Blasphemy\u2019 – for RPM that Midnight might be about to do a Ghost and break through to the mainstream, because the ten tracks contained here are a massive middle finger to anything even remotely resembling compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
