Title: black midi - Hellfire
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 2022, Art Rock, Experimental Rock Progressive Rock, London, England 9/26
Condition: New (BC) | Members: black midi (N/A)
Cultural Facts:

1. School Band: The members met while attending London’s BRIT School, the same performing-arts school associated with artists like Amy Winehouse and Adele. Instead of emerging as polished pop graduates, they built one of the strangest guitar bands to come out of the school’s orbit.

2. Teenage Drummer: Morgan Simpson was already an absurdly accomplished drummer before black midi became known. He won the UK’s Young Drummer of the Year competition while still a teenager, years before audiences started watching him tear through the band’s deliberately difficult arrangements.

3. Windmill Lore: black midi built its reputation at The Windmill in Brixton, playing chaotic shows before they had a conventional catalog for people to buy. Word spread through live footage and people telling friends they had seen something bizarre, giving the band genuine mythology before its debut album even arrived.
