Filthy, belligerent, and hateful, Midnight makes music to start fights. Since 2003, one-man band Athenar has been delivering unholy racket, churning out countless demos, splits, and EPs. In 2022, he returns with Midnight's fifth album, *Let There Be Witchery*, which offers more of what one expects from his deranged mind, a catchy, relentlessly compulsive blend of black and speed metal and dirty punk rock. "I still want it to be loud and nasty," he states. "That kind of thing never gets old with me. How funny will it be to see myself at 77 – if I make it that far – sitting on the porch blasting Hellhammer?"
