1) Midnight Sun is a heavy metal band formed in Summer 1996. Still under the name of Tranquility the group gave a series of club shows all over Sweden and - after changing the band name to Midnight Sun – recorded their debut album, Another World in the ´Roasting House` Studio.

2) Midnight Sun was a Danish rock band in the 1970's.
Denmark's Rainbow Band was formed in late 1969 as a supergroup consisting of Peer Frost (ex-Young Flowers), Lars Bisgaard (ex-Maxwells), Carsten Smedegaard (ex-Beefeaters), Bent Hesselmann and the former jazz players Niels Brønsted and Bo Stief (they had backed American jazz musicians at Copenhagen's Café Montmartre). The idea was to play jazz-influenced progressive rock in the style ofBurnin' Red Ivanhoe and Traffic's second album. These influences were strongly evident on their 1970 album. It's a very good effort, still very indicative of the hippie era. The rhythm section still produced the powerful 60s beat, forcing Peer Frost to squeeze out some of his best guitar solos. Lars Bisgaard was replaced by Allan Mortensen (ex-Tears) at the end of 1970. A Canadian group was already using the name Rainbow Band, which forced the Danish group to change their name into Midnight Sun in July 1971.

Midnight Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unleash the beast, metal mayhem.
We are the legion of the damned
So strong with power in our hands
In pride we ride the machine
With a thousand horsepower we enter the night
Filled up with nitro, filled up with pride
We raise our fists towards the sky
Feel the thunder
Hear it scream...The roar from the metal machine....
We spread the word, information
Carbonic monoxide domination.
[spoken]
1907 Glenn Curtis's bike reached 220 with an aircraft engine
1935 Malcolm Cambell hit 483 on land
Gary Gabelish was the first to reach a thousand in the rocket powered "Blue flame"
Now's the time to go supersonic, now's the time to unleash hell, Get into the
Metallic groove, get off to the roar of the metal machine....
The lyrics of Midnight Sun's song "Metal Machine" essentially become a celebration of speed and power, representing the thrill and pride of riding a powerful machine like a motorcycle. The opening lines of "Chrome construction, a lethal weapon" seem to suggest the metallic beauty of such machines which can be used as a "lethal weapon". The song invokes a feeling of a group of rebels or outlaws who ride these machines with the power and pride, who feel the thunder and hear it scream. These outlaws are united in their love for speed, power, and danger, and are almost invincible because they are on "Metal Machines".
The chorus emphasizes the pure exhilaration of the ride, with the words "Feel the thunder, Hear it scream... The roar from the metal machine...". The lyrics are packed with references to speed and power - "With a thousand horsepower we enter the night, Pedal to the metal, no stop signs in sight." They even mention historical events such as Glenn Curtis's bike which reached 220 with an aircraft engine and Gary Gabelish who was the first to reach a thousand in the rocket-powered "Blue flame," establishing the historical contexts of speed and technological advancement. The song becomes a tribute to the passion for speed and rebellion, riding like there is no tomorrow, as opulent and free as the machines they ride.
