"Satanic Panic Attack" is Midnight Guest's newest release, the EP has featured
four tracks. Mixed by Daniel Stunges, mastered by Arthur Joly and cover
by Juarez Tanure, the release features musical influences from Black
Sabbath, Type O’Negative and alternative rock.
The
"Satanic Panic Attack" EP features a play on words; "Satanic Panic"
comes from the "Satanic Panic" of the 1980s, where people blamed
everything on something supposedly involved with Satanism; they burned
rock records and said that Dungeons & Dragons was something of the
devil. A mix of hysteria and witch hunts. "Panic Attack" comes from a
theme that appears in 3 of the 4 songs on the EP: anxiety and panic
attacks. Midnight Guest put together one of the things that most
surfaced during the pandemic: the increase in anxiety among people and
also the witch hunts and fight against windmills that we have seen
mainly from this crazy government and its supporters, although that
seems to me to be a global phenomenon.
About the songs:
"Sounds
Like Doom": The initial inspiration was the fall of Constantinople in
1453 and what it would be like to be inside a besieged city. The subtext
is about panic syndrome, anxiety and trying not to be paralyzed by
fear.
“The Hour of the Wolf ": The lyrics are inspired by Ingmar Bergman's movie of the same name and the 16th century poem "The Dark Night of the Soul". A line from the movie sums it up well: “The Hour of the Wolf is the hour between night and dawn. It is the hour when most people die, when sleep is deepest, when nightmares are most real. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their deepest fear, when ghosts and demons are most powerful. The Hour of the Wolf is also the hour when most children are born.” "Everyone has their wolf hour in their dark night of the soul," mentions Daniel Stunges as he composes the track.
"If
I Could": is about anxiety caused by being bombarded with too much
information, the weight of choices and feeling paralyzed. It's a song
that tries to be minimalist, hypnotic and has a Bridge/solo section
inspired by Thin Lizzy.
"Carve
Heaven Outta Hell": It is the first song composed by Daniel
Stunges together with the other members of the band. Musically it's
super Black Sabbath, very slow, heavy and full of dissonance. The guitar
solo at the end was played by vocalist Kjetil.
As
a bridge between the present and the past, Midnight Guest tunes 1970s
heavy rock and occult rock with a modern look. The project created in
2020 by guitarist Daniel Stunges joins the vocals of Kjetil Landsgard,
straight from Canada, and musicians Tadeu Correa on drums and Eduardo
Oliveira on bass. The genesis of Midnight Guest comes from the desire to
create within the occult rock genre, popularized by names like Black
Sabbath and Ghost, but which also had a punk attitude mixed with metal,
as is the case with Motörhead and Misfits. This more analogue sound
guided the entire production.
