Episode #55 - Ancient Evil

This week’s episode focuses on “Ancient Evil,” an underrated
classic on the four-song Night Demon  EP. Jarvis goes into
detail about how the writings of American horror author H. P.
Lovecraft influenced heavy metal, Night Demon, and this song
specifically. The lyrics’ numerous references to Lovecraftian
characters and concepts are explained.  You will hear how
this song was written, why it is Armand’s favorite track on the
EP, and how the tempos have accelerated on “Ancient Evil” from
the demo stage to the studio recording to the current live
version.  Jarvis hints at a strong comeback for this
oft-overlooked track in upcoming Night Demon setlists, and
describes how it works so effectively live when sandwiched in
between “Road Racin’” and “Satan.”
