Episode #91 - Vysteria - Part 1

This week we begin exploring "Vysteria," the fourth 7" standalone
single released by Night Demon in 2020 and a featured track on
the new Year of the Demon compilation album. At the outset, the
band members explain how this really isn't a pandemic song and
how it's really about self-empowerment in the face of media
manipulation and hysteria, all set against the backdrop of the
COVID-19 pandemic. You will learn the surprising origins and
dictionary definition of the term "vysteria." Then we get into
the musical genesis of the song, beginning with a jam tape dating
back to August 2019 and carrying through multiple permutations
and incarnations until March 2020. The guys explain how and why
the song evolved over time. They also talk about whether they
consider "Vysteria" to be the heaviest song in the Night Demon
catalog, as well as its connection to thrash metal and how
challenging it is to play.
