Reigning in hell, screaming like a storm, Midnight’s obscenely intense aural display of lust, filth, and sleaze ripped the Los Angeles faithful a new one at two sold-out shows on May 28th-29th, 2026.
As part of Midnight’s “Satanic Royalty” 15th Anniversary World Tour, the incendiary gigs at Hollywood venue Knucklehead were recorded in all their sweaty, filthy glory, resulting in “Satanic Attack Live!”, set for release on November 6th, 2026, via Metal Blade Records.
Recorded by Mark Borders with mixing/mastering done by Zach Rippy, “Satanic Attack Live!” captures ten tracks off 2011’s landmark “Satanic Royalty” LP – live and in the original album running order – plus five additional songs, including “Shock Til Blood”, “T.A.P.”, and “Fucking Speed and Darkness”.
“Did I ever think there would be a Midnight live, in concert record album? Haha shit, naw!”, says the band’s aural architect, Athenar. “But if you’re reading this, you are probably holding a copy in your bloody semen/leukorrhea-dripping paws. With the help of D.K. Vagslay, Iron Possessor, and about 300 dirt merchants and headbanging Hollywood sleazeballs, it was possible to concoct such a document of disgust”.
Watch the live video for “You Can’t Stop Steel” below.
“Satanic Attack Live!” will be released on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl with included poster in the following color variants:
• Blue White Black A Side B Side (US)
• 180g Black (EU)
