Hope you all have been well this Rocktober!!
As usual, we’ve been busy beyond busy as of late. First of all, it’s official – we’re heading into the studio in two weeks to record our full-length album, which will be released on Witches Brew Records!! We’ll be documenting the process and providing you all with studio updates. Keep it locked on our Facebook page for real-time updates and perhaps even going Facebook Live for the first time ever! Hey, we have to slowly adapt to modern technology one day…right??
With the good news comes the bad but hopeful news. Our next concert, Rockers Against Leukemia, is next Saturday, November 5th at Champs in Trenton, and it is a fundraiser for Shawn Lydon of Iron Front. He was just diagnosed with leukemia on his 28th birthday, which was about three weeks ago, so we have banded together with Inari One, Shattered Skin, Souls of Rebellion, and Depraved Indifference to help raise some money for Shawn! It’s a $10 suggested donation and there will be a bake sale and a raffle. Doors are at 5, all ages! Come out and support a great cause!! If you would like to donate but cannot attend, you may find the donation information on the event page.
For those who haven’t heard yet, we have the honor of supporting UDO Dirkschneider at the Starland Ballroom on Friday, February 3rd, as he performs a two-hour set consisting of ACCEPT-only material! This will be the last time in his career that he will be playing any of those songs, so you surely don’t want to miss it! Tickets through us are face-value of $20.00, which saves you shipping, fees, and taxes – nowhere else will you find this deal!! Save between $15 and $50 per ticket, which is a LOT of dough!!
Tickets available here!!
It’s gearing up for the winter months, and we have the perfect addition to your winter apparel collection – the MIDNITE HELLION “Ressurection” long-sleeve shirt!! Featuring print on both sleeves, as well as the front and back, it’s surely to be a head-turner, as well as to keep you nice and cozy as the nights get longer and the days get shorter. Secure yours here, as well as all official Midnite Hellion merchandise that you need to add to your collection
Also, we were just interviewed by Jacque Howard from the Trenton 365 Performing Arts, which was a great time! Tune in to learn more about us here! If you prefer to read it, you may do so here, transcribed by our own Barbara Blackthorne!
Speaking of Barbara, you all may have not gotten a chance to see her in action yet, but you may check out her KILLER first show here.
Last, and CERTAINLY not least, we have been charting on 89.5 WSOU for the past three months and counting!! Thanks to everyone who has requested us, pushed for us, and demanded for us to be played! This is all because of you!! Thank you!!

Speaking of the new album, we’re finally going to head into the studio to record it this Spring!! The name has yet to be unveiled, but it will feature EIGHT songs to rattle your HEAVY METAL heads!! The album will be released by Witches Brew on both CD and vinyl, and we will be working again with Len Carmichael for the recording and Five Miligrams for the artwork!! All Kickstarter campaign supporters, please note that we will be in touch as the album process progresses to confirm details about your orders.
We’ve also started to embrace modern times and are now on Instagram! Follow us at http://www.instagram.com/midnitehellion
Thanks to everyone for the continued support, see you all at the shows!!

HUGE Thank you to everyone who came out and welcomed us back with open arms this past Wednesday!! Also, an extremely HUGE thank you to everyone who had lent us a hand that night – total unity among the bands and supporters! Too many people to list (don’t want to accidentally forget someone), but you all know who you are!!
Well Hellions, those who had attended Wednesday’s show might have noticed that there is a completely new lineup featuring four brand-new members!! Please welcome the girl with the pipes, Kate Smith, and our new lead guitarist, Jeremy Moles!! In addition, our new rhythm section includes bassist Roy Romano III, replacing Roy Romano II (who lacked sleeves and a moustache), and a doppelganger of drummer Drew Rizzo has replaced the original Drew Rizzo.
Come catch the new lineup on Saturday, May 14th at Roxy & Duke’s Roadhouse in Dunellen, NJ at VengeanceFest 2 "Festimony of Vengeance"!! In the meantime, check out the video from the show here and rock until you drop!
