Midnight are the definition of beer metal. Midnight sound like Motorhead if Motorhead accidentally took tranquilizers and forgot to write chord progressions and progressive minor-key heavy metal leads in their songs. Midnight are Motorhead if when Lemmy got arrested for drug possession in Canada in the early seventies while touring with Hawkwind, Lemmy did not merely get kicked out of Hawkwind and deported back to the United Kingdom; Midnight are Motorhead if the Canadians were really the Soviets who institutionalized and lobotomized Lemmy while forcing him at gunpoint to cart around a potent IV drip of anti-psychotics and sedatives for the rest of his life.
Shox of Violence is four new songs of mediocre Motorhead worship and thrash for drunks at bar shows who want to see a man with a bag over his head not party with them like Lemmy would. The thrash attempts are just as lame and boring as the speed metal. As bonus tracks on the CD version, Midnight also cover a bunch of NWOBHM and glam rock songs nobody cares about or ever cared about as those songs all sucked even back in the seventies compared to Maiden and Priest. Shox of Violence is just another cash grab released for something to sell before the summer festival season. The real question is how long it would take members of the one percent, actual outlaw bikers, to glass Midnight if Midnight went back in a time machine and opened for Sodom in the eighties? The world will never know.

Their beer metal fans and the “Metal Sluts” are some of the worst things to happen to metal. I don’t care if Athenar is a “lifer” or whatever. He makes terrible music. Take your rehashed bullshit and fashion show elsewhere. Maybe a generic street punk or d-beat show would be a more humble abode?
Quorthon was the first thrash metal hipster.
Anybody over 45 knows he was just a sad little bitchy bith.
Darn – I wanted my comment to be post under Mr Euronymous article. I not good with computer.
Ursäkta. But Quorthon, Fenriz wrong about him. I wanted him to be in Possessed ;;
YOU’RE DRUNK
GO TO BED
Venom + hardcore. The singer is surely a failed attempt a Chronos-clone.
It funny the stories of what a straight business man the main guy is, how he doesn’t drink or blow coke. Why in the fuck would you make sloppy retarded party music if you don’t party? This is a true poser band for braindead scenster posers, this is metal stolen and bastardized by hipsters, these are the true hipsters.
Alcoholocaust the beer metallers.

Rape machine.
Lol.
MONEY AND ATTENTION
Attention and vodka enemas for all!
The hipsterization of neo-first wave black metal must die.
Hopefully the heroin in Cleveland will eventually do the trick here.
Jamie says FUCK YOU!!!
Yeah and? His band is still the crunk club rap of hipster black metal, a good time for all posers everywhere , have a beer and rock out with a smile, right guys?
