MIDWIFE ◆ DEVIN SHAFFER

𝗠𝗜𝗗𝗪𝗜𝗙𝗘 is the musical moniker of Denver, Colorado-based artist Madeline Johnston, who describes her sublime music as ‘heaven metal’.
In recent years, MIDWIFE has toured the US alongside acts like Deafheaven, Ethel Cain, Blood Incantation, Baroness, and Lingua Ignota and curated and performed as artist-in-residence of legendary Roadburn Festival. She has released two new critically acclaimed albums: "No Depression in Heaven" (The Flenser, 2024) and Never Die (Relapse), a 2025 collaborative LP with Matt Jencik.
Madeline Johnston is a self taught multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer, currently based in Southern Colorado by way of Denver, where she spent the last decade+ developing her sound and focusing on her artistic community. On stage, Johnston is known for her sparse, emotionally charged experimental pop music that can silence a room. On record, she produces intricate and lush sonic environments in her own little corner of the heavy music scene. She describes her work as emotional music about devastation: catharsis. Johnston writes primarily about grief, and the many faces it can inhabit.
This marks her first time touring Europe & the UK in many special venues and her first time in Vienna as well.
