black midi from London, UK
black midi take their name from MIDI compositions that are so dense, the notes turn the page black. Combining elements of jazz, prog, noise, classical, post-punk, etc, the band's performances had generated a huge international following well before they had even released their 2019 debut, Schlagenheim. Last year's Cavalcade only pushed the envelope farther in all directions.

He made their airplane crash over the desert.
Hopefully they'll survive.
But I've got no idea, it's none of my business.
For all I know they may have gone down in flames.
Maybe they'll be on their way to Satan's lair.
I hope.
Who cares?
(upbeat music) I say that all in jest.
Really I hope they're all okay.
But hey, ho-hey, oh yeah, it's just another day.
I love that album.
That's where Deontay Wilder comes from.
Give them a round of applause for your next champion.
