Episode #31 - Run For Your Life - Part 1

This episode is part 1 of our coverage of "Run for Your Life,"
track 9 on Curse of the Damned. You'll learn about the origins of
the song dating back to May 2013 and hear snippets of early live
versions. The guys talk about how the Jarvis/Armand/Dusty version
of the song differs from the Jarvis/Brent/John iteration as
originally conceived. Hear them reflect on how "Run for Your
Life" captured a moment in time in the evolution of Night Demon.
This episode also explores in detail the Run for Your Life
recording sessions of what was initially intended to be Night
Demon's debut album, why those recordings were scrapped, and how
"Run for Your Life" was demoted from title/lead track status to
the revered deep cut it is today. Compare the initial recording
to that on Curse of the Damned to uncover differences in energy,
backing vocals and even sound effects. Above all, this episode
provides a lesson in Night Demon's perfectionist spirit and their
steadfast refusal to compromise, even if it entails jettisoning a
nearly-completed record along the way.
