Midnight Worship is on an ambitious mission to target the pinnacles of progressive metal and worship rock aesthetics. The project of brothers Terry (lead vocals, guitars & keyboards) and Trevor (drums & percussion) Friesen realizes a goal of ‘mixing meditative metal with God’s Word for humanity’ but does so within a framework of worship songs that draw upon portions of the Bible that focus on God’s nighttime creation.
Musically, Midnight Worship is not that far removed from the brother’s renowned Sombre Holiday project (of which it has recorded six albums) with its reinforcing of equal parts Gothic and doom metal but separates with added emphasis on acoustic guitar and keyboards interwoven with ethereal ambient music. The groups February of 2026 third album Remember The Dawn stays true to such themes from focusing on ‘progressive metal as devotion: heavy yet patient, sorrowful yet confident, grounded entirely in Scripture’ (quoting the groups press material). Moreover, ‘It is an album for late nights, long prayers, and anyone waiting for the morning’ (also, the groups press material).
