Reviving the Glory Days of 80s Hair Metal: Midnight Snack Emerges from the Shadows

In a time when leg warmers were all the rage and big hair reigned supreme, a group of musicians found themselves drawn together by a shared love for the sound and spirit of the 80s. Enter Midnight Snack, a project that embodies the essence of 80s hair metal and pays homage to the glorious era of rock 'n' roll excess.

The origins of this musical endeavor can be traced back to 2012 when guitarist and founder Andrea Lucente, drummer Elia Heutschi, and bassist Raffaele Lorenzetti, already active in various bands, stumbled upon each other's company. Fueled by their mutual passion for 80s music, they found themselves jamming and composing songs within the confines of an old bunker. These initial jam sessions birthed a collection of songs that were tucked away, waiting for the perfect moment to shine.

Fast forward to 2021, and Andrea Lucente, driven by a newfound inspiration, reaches out to his musical comrades, accompanied by the addition of vocalist Damiano Guarnieri. Together, they set out to dust off those forgotten tunes and breathe life into an album of unreleased tracks. With Andrea at the helm as the songwriter and producer, the vision for the album begins to take shape.

To bring their sonic dreams to fruition, Lucente's enlists the expertise of recording and mixing engineer Stefano Scenini at Cimo's Stairway Studio. Under his guidance, the album begins to take form, capturing the essence and energy of the 80s hair metal genre. And to ensure a polished final product, the mastering is entrusted to the skilled hands of George Nerantzis.

As the anticipation builds, Lucente's tantalizes fans with the release of their first single, "Waste My Time," on September 1, 2022. The track serves as a delicious appetizer, offering a taste of the band's high-octane sound and infectious melodies. With its catchy hooks, blistering guitar solos, and anthemic choruses, "Waste My Time" transports listeners back to the glory days of arena rock.
