Episode #49 - Birth of the Demon - Part 1

This week we bring you the Birth of the Demon. When Night Demon
was spawned at a jam session in a warehouse in Ventura,
California on March 5, 2011, it was not conceived as a serious
thing, or even as a side project. The members all had other
musical priorities, including Jarvis who was completing the first
full-length Heartbeats album. The band (then called The Chalice)
was intended only as an outlet for their shared love of the New
Wave of British Heavy Metal, a decidedly “uncool” style at the
time in Ventura. There was no pressure, so the creativity flowed
freely. At the initial jam session, the band not only played
Diamond Head’s “Lightning to the Nations,” but worked on an
instrumental that became the song “Night Demon.” By the time of
the first proper The Chalice rehearsal the following week, Jarvis
had prepared lyrics for “Night Demons” (with an “s”), about a
group of awesome dudes, and the band discovered the guitar/bass
harmonies that went on to become a Night Demon trademark. At that
time, the band briefly changed their name to Knight Demon (with a
“K”).
