Episode #85 - 100 MPH

This week we examine "100 mph," which was the B-side to the "Kill
the Pain" single released in May 2020.  Originally a Cirith
Ungol song appearing on the 1986 album One Foot in Hell, Night
Demon's rendition of "100 mph" will be included in the
forthcoming Year of the Demon compilation album released on March
25, 2022.  We begin with a brief overview of the history of
Cirith Ungol, and the back story of "100 mph" as told by Cirith
Ungol members Robert Garven and Tim Baker.  The Night Demon
guys explain their decision to cover the tune, why it means a lot
to them to record a Cirith Ungol song, and how they decided on
"100 mph."  You will hear about the recording process for
this song under the watchful eye of Metallica producer Flemming
Rasmussen.  The band gets into specifics of how they
Demonized "100 mph," describing what changes they made and
why.  Jarvis and Cirith Ungol vocalist Tim Baker discuss how
they traded vocal lines.  We look at how the lyrics
resonated with Night Demon, and even get into the cover art
created for the digital single in January 2022. Both Night Demon
and Cirith Ungol express optimism that the two bands will join
forces to perform the song live someday soon.
