Metal Blade, New Music Release

⚙️ MIDNIGHT Announces Filthy Covers Album “Steel, Rust And Disgust” — Out May 23rd via Metal Blade Records 💀

Cleveland’s resident high priest of sleaze and grime, MIDNIGHT, is back to make your speakers weep with Steel, Rust And Disgust — a full-length covers album hitting the streets May 23rd on Metal Blade Records.

The one-man wrecking crew Athenar delivers ten raw-as-hell covers alongside two brand-new original tracks, all soaked in the rust-belt rage and dirty swagger that’s defined MIDNIGHT for over two decades. This time, it’s a love letter to his birthplace and its gritty musical underbelly.

“The original title was going to be Throw Ups, a nod to Bowie’s Pin Ups,” Athenar jokes. “But I needed six syllables. I just wanted to rip through songs by bands who shared the same sights, sounds, and sewage of my region of birth. Do yourself a favor—check out the original versions… if you want to transform into a total fucking slimebag.”

Directed by My Good Eye Visuals, the video is exactly what you’d expect: loud, lurid, and gloriously unwashed.

🩸KING810 release K6: Rustbelt Nu Metal — A Monument Forged in Fire 💀

It’s done. K6: Rustbelt Nu Metal is in the can—and what happened inside that room was nothing short of legendary.

What was captured can’t be measured: not in decibels, not in hours, not in tracks.
It was raw devotion, feral love, and total surrender to the moment.
A monument was built in sound—and you were the mortar.
Every scream, every voice—your voices—now live inside this record.

🩸 Even the careless mind will never forget what happened here.

To our crew: your planning and execution made this impossible thing breathe.
To you, our FAMILY—whether you were in the room or pre-ordering from the shadows—this belongs to all of us.

We’ll reunite in June 2025 for K7 and build the next chapter. But until then, K6 is now in the hands of the mix and master engineers. It’s coming. Soon.
