MIDNIGHT (Ohio, USA) - Sweet Death And Ecstasy (2017) (sealed LP copy) (2021 Metal Blade Re-issue on Pink and Mint Melt vinyl).  Although Sweet Death and Ecstasy is not a wild departure from 2014's No Mercy For Mayhem,
 it pursues modest new ambitions with triumphant success. After all, simplicity is the name of 
Midnight’s game. 
Band leader Athenar has said he has zero interest in blemish-free 
recordings or pursuing perfection. He isn’t an elite guitar virtuoso, 
but when his solos are center stage they still sizzle. 
Midnight is an 
example of an artist/entertainer pounding away at his compulsion to 
create, finding new ways to keep both himself and his fans invested by 
carving out his own devoted corner of hell. Metal Blade Records – 3984-15803-6
