Night Demon Heavy Metal Podcast

This week, we continue our exploration of all things Curse of the Damned in honor of the 10th anniversary celebration of that landmark album and the corresponding Ultimate Edition box set release. Our focus tonight is "Satan," track 3 from Curse. A deep cut, not often aired, with a tongue-in-cheek lyrical approach, chugging riffage, and an overall doomy vibe. Night Demon band members past and present break down the origins of the song, its lyrical content, the songwriting process, and its evolution from the rehearsal room to the stage a decade later. Along the way, you will hear clips of demo and live versions, with accompany commentary from those who were there.

This week's episode is devoted to an exploration of the title track of Night Demon's 2015 debut album, Curse of the Damned. The band members break down the component parts of the song, from the distinctive swing intro to the MXR Phase 90 guitar effect to the memorable singalong part near the end. You will hear about the musical and lyrical inspiration for the track, why its narrative style is unique for the band, how it fits in the live set, and why it represented an early attempt to diversify the Night Demon sonic attack.

We continue our deep dive into all things Curse of the Damned in celebration of the album's 10-year anniversary by examining album opener "Screams in the Night." Night Demon band members past and present explain how the song originated as an afterthought in the Curse writing sessions, but how it has gone on to become a fan favorite, a "hit," and a fixture in the band's live set. Among other details, you will hear about the song's connection to the Blood Sacrifice comic, the writing process, early demos, why Jarvis recorded the guitar solo on the studio version, how Armand plays it differently live, its impact in the setlist, lighting cues, notable mistakes, and why the song will forever remain a staple of the Night Demon live attack.
