This week we resume our chronicle of Night Demon's fall 2024 tour supporting King Diamond and Overkill. We pick up the tale with Night Demon confronting a 3,000 seat venue outside St. Louis, Missouri, with a huge stage and a massive crowd. They explain how they called an audible to include "Hallowed Ground" in the setlist tonight, and how they started changing up the set on a nightly basis thereafter. From there the tour proceeded east to a fancy theater in downtown Kansas City, where you will hear how the seated show worked to Night Demon's advantage, King Diamond the artist made it fun, and the boys ran out into the crowd to mow them down during "Night Demon."Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

An exciting accessory to the Curse of the DamnedUltimate Edition boxset is the Axe-Wielding Eugene action figure. To highlight this cool merch item, Night Demon enlisted the services of longtime friend and former Midnight guitarist Shaun Vanek to create a 30-second commercial.

Among other things, they talk about the exchange of ideas culminating in the video concept, the technology employed to create the commercial, the fact that no actual Eugene figure was present during the shoot, the challenges of telling a story in 30 seconds, and various touches that enhanced the campy, comedic vibes the creators were aiming for.

This week we conclude our 10-year anniversary retrospective on Night Demon's Curse of the Damned track by track, by exploring the album closer, 'Save Me Now." Although this track was covered in depth in Episodes 202-203, we revisit it now and expose new nooks and crannies, details that have never before surfaced.  Among other nuggets, you will learn how "Save Me Now" got Dusty the gig as Night Demon drummer, why Jarvis is so proud of it from a writing perspective, how the keyboard / organ sections came to be and when they were reproduced live, how it has the longest pick slide in the history of recorded music, why the track eventually faded from the live set, and why it's a tricky song to nail live, In many ways, "Save Me Now" is a "hit song" that wasn't, and the band are very fond of it.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

Originally intended as the title track of the album, it eventually became relegated to track 9, an overlooked deep cut rarely aired on stage.  In this episode, you'll find out why and hear the band members' impressions of the song, in both a studio and live context. You will hear how the song evolved over time and why Night Demon are enthused to bring it back to the setlist for the tenth anniversary shows.

This week we continue our track-by-track exploration of Night Demon's debut album, Curse of the Damned, on the occasion of its tenth anniversary by digging into the song "Mastermind." A rock/metal hybrid with a distinctive swing and a positive message, "Mastermind" is unique in the Night Demon catalog in multiple ways. You will hear about how the band were influenced to write this song, how and why it came late to the Curse writing sessions, the origins of various parts of the song, and its evolution from early demos to final recording to the live version they play today. Special attention is paid to the lyrical content, what Jarvis's inspiration was, why this message is important to him, and how it can have practical application to your daily life and mental outlook.

As we continue our track-by-track exploration of Curse of the Damned in honor of that record's tenth anniversary, we now reach one of the deep cuts. "Livin' Dangerous" is a straight ahead, no-frills rock'n'roll song that Night Demon rarely plays live. In this episode, you will learn why. The guys talk about influences for the song, when it was written, how they woodshedded it live the same night they wrote it, and how the song evolved over time. You will hear whether this track is or is not a ripoff of a Motorhead song, why it was left off the Live Darkness album, and what redeeming qualities the band members find in it today lyrically and from a live performance standpoint.

This week, we continue our coverage of the tenth anniversary of Night Demon's iconic debut album, Curse of the Damned. We turn our attention to the song "Heavy Metal Heat," perhaps Night Demon's ultimate party anthem. We hear from the guys how the song came into existence, how that riff is fundamental to the band's identity, how it progressed from demos to final version, and why it works so well as a singalong moment in the live set. Night Demon explain how the song is a cry for freedom, a statement that metal is life, and a party anthem all in one. Listen at nightdemon.net/podcast or anywhere you listen to podcasts!
