"A true Head banging, fist pumping fury from start to finish." - metalwarrants.com
"...from the opening title track Midnight Idols scorch this gig, laying down
a proud pounding metal assault that is sure to please fans of the old school of
rock." - maximummetal.com
"I've not heard a riff cooler than the opening to "Satan's Son" since 1985,
believe it. If the NWOBHM and the Sunset Strip mated and created a bastard child of
excessive proportions, it'd sound something like the Midnight Idols." - antidoterecords.com
"...If I didn’t know any better, I would swear that
“Nightrulers” was an unearthed gem from around 1981,
rather than a 2008 release from a band formed in 2004.
Everything about the album, from the production, to the
guitar tone, to the mild Punk influences sounds so
authentic, that listening to “Nightrulers” is like taking
a time machine to a simpler era of Metal.
...for anyone still proudly sporting the patch-covered
denim jacket, even if only in spirit, “Nightrulers” will
whip you into a headbanging frenzy faster than you can
say “Murders In The Rue Morgue" - metal-observer.com
"There are solos everywhere, soaring high-pitched vocals
and plenty of musical references to the likes of Saxon,
Axehammer, Fist, Accept and early Iron Maiden and Judas
Priest. The use of analogue recording techniques has
helped to capture a rough, vibrant, live sound and the
production work of Kurt Bloch (Nashville Pussy etc) has
lost none of the band’s obvious energy and enthusiasm." - metalamuk.com
"There's obviously still a market for some good old
NWOBHM music. MIDNIGHT IDOLS proves it can be done with
heart and soul, even in this modern age. Recommended!...
Let 'em show you all their wares. " - peacedogman.com **July 08 Pick of the Month**
"It's not often a simple act of putting on a CD becomes
also a time-travel device but this disk by Midnight Idols
will bring you right back to about 1982, other than the
updated quality production that is." - battlehelm.com
Seattle's Midnight Idols are thrilled to announce that they have signed with Italy's Metal on Metal Records™! The band's label debut, and third full length release "Sworn to the Night" is slated for June '09 release!
The Idols continue their mission to bring back "True Metal": Their pure Metal sound has drawn comparisons to Classic NWOBHM giants, Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Judas Priest, while their blazing live show that leaves the crowd screaming for more!
Midnight Idols have have achieved impressive sales, and international acclaim for both their self-produced debut "We Rule The Night" and the follow-up, "NIGHTRULERS", done with renowned producer Kurt Bloch (Supersuckers, Zeke, Nashville Pussy...) at the console... Not bad for having no label support!
In fall '08 the Idols returned to the studio to record an EP: The heaviest, most aggressive Idols release yet...
Speaking of which; the band just let a limited pressing EP slip to labels, radio stations, zines, and the hardcore fanbase. The EP is titled "Sworn To The Night", and the title track recently enjoyed a nice run (4 wins!) as KISW FM 99.9 Seattle's Loud & Local Cock Fight Champion!!
Although the band was originally considering a bigger pressing and broad-scale release of the EP for general purposes, the limited run EP garnered some serious label interest, and the band wound up securing a deal with Italy's Metal On Metal Records™. Look for the band's label debut Summer 09!
With the powerful vocals and undeniable charisma of frontman Diamond C., the high-flying twin guitar assault of Thermo and Rizz, and the powerhouse rhythm section of Rumbles and Smiley, you will experience Heavy Metal returned to its fist-pumping, foul-mouthed, leather-clad glory! Do not miss an opportunity to see this Band LIVE!!!
Midnight Idols, along with their new label, are challenging the world with their campaign for global domination. Submit now or be taken by force!!
