baalim What an impressive throwback heavy metal / hard rock album Firmament has released !

Erik Salazar Found a vinyl copy of this all the way in San Antonio, TX. Was so happy when I saw this for sale in the wild at a small record store there. This is some of the best heavy metal to come out this year (and there have been a ton of great releases in 2025). Venator show that for some bands, there is no second album slump. They’ve only improved upon what they established on album one with some of their catchiest tunes to date. Try not singing Steal the Night after you hear it. Go on, I dare you! Favorite track: Steal the Night.

Jørgen "Powerful and enchanting Heavy Metal haunted by the spirits of the 80s while pushing forth its own character..." www.nattskog.com Favorite track: Steal the Night.

Gojira Blume A darker Venator for darker times. Very strong second half. Favorite track: Fear the Light.

Richard Terry Cleveland Metal is an excellent new song. Fun album full of covers from bands and artists based in Northeast Ohio. If you enjoy Midnight, you'll definitely enjoy this album. Hails! Favorite track: Cleveland Metal.

sashavonkarl74 Super catchy, high-octane superlative Midnight, he did it again! Loved the YT video release I stumbled upon just before the full release.
It's a must have for Midnight fans.

Would love to see them on tour with Bewitcher and Night Demon. Favorite track: Cleveland Metal.

kiwigus Cleveland fucking METAL!!! Favorite track: Steel, Rust and Disgust.

Patrick Anderson Man, I NEVER thought I'd hear a psychobilly song covered by a thrash band, let alone by Midnight. This is a LEGIT cover along with 3rd Generation Nation by the Dead Boys - clearly Athenar has a diverse range of influences. Hell yeah. 🤘 Favorite track: Frenzy.
