Midnight have released a live “Violence on Violence” visualizer ahead of Satanic Attack Live!, due November 6 through Metal Blade. The label’s October 14 announcement points to performances recorded at Knucklehead in Hollywood on May 28 and 29, 2026.

A three-piece live recording

The credited line-up is DK Vagslay on guitar, Athenar on bass and vocals, and Iron Possessor on drums. Mark Borders recorded the performances, with mixing and mastering by Zach Rippy. The two shows formed part of the band’s Satanic Royalty fifteenth-anniversary tour.

That guitar credit is worth keeping distinct from Athenar’s role as Midnight’s central figure: for this recording, the label specifically names Vagslay as the guitarist. No guitar model, amplifier or tuning is identified in the announcement.

The next dates

The announced North American itinerary runs from October 27 to December 12. It includes dates supporting GWAR and three separately marked Midnight headline shows. Fans should check the individual listing rather than assume the same bill applies to every night.

The official “Violence on Violence” visualizer is available now. The band’s album listing confirms the November 6 release date.
