Night Demon Heavy Metal Podcast

Join Night Demon this week as we celebrate our 200th consecutive weekly podcast episode. For this special retrospective episode, host Nesbit looks back on the history of the podcast, from its humble beginnings as an unnamed 14-minute proof of concept all the way through today. Along the way, we highlight defining features of the podcast, including unheard mixes, demos, inside commentary from the studio, and Night Demon's remarkable history with St. Johns, Newfoundland. You will hear some things that no one has ever heard before, including the unreleased 20'20" instrumental demo that evolved into a large chunk of the Outsider album. Thank you for your support. Here's to the next 200!

This week we bring you the fourth installment of our retrospective of Night Demon's first major North American tour, playing with the mighty Raven in 2014. This episode finds the boys grappling with finalizing their contractual commitments for licensing and distribution of their first album, Curse of the Damned, Simultaneously, they were preparing for their tour kickoff show in Atlanta, which turned out to be a success despite various technical difficulties. From there, the tour rolled on to a disastrous gig in Memphis, followed by a day off in treacherous New Orleans. Just days into the tour, the Night Demon boys were realizing that road burn is real.

This week we continue our track-by-track deep dive into the Night Demon EP by investigating “The Chalice.” You will hear how Jarvis was influenced by the Scorpions in writing the riffs and why it was important for this song to have a different feel than the other EP songs. Using isolated guitar, bass and vocal tracks, the guys break down the bass intro, guitar solo, drum patterns, lyrical content, and other aspects of the song. They shed light on the old studio tricks and sleight-of-hand magic behind some of the effects captured in the recording. And the band explains the reasons for the rerecording “The Chalice ‘15” bonus track on the German edition of the Curse of the Damned LP, and why it feels markedly different from the original.

This week's episode is devoted to a deep dive into the track "Prelude," the introductory piece to the forthcoming Night Demon album Outsider. Not only does it set the tone for the album, but it also introduces the title track and lead single. The guys explain how "Prelude" began with a bass riff that Jarvis wrote back in early 2020. They then walk you through the layer-by-layer build of the track, including utilization of a Roland Jupiter 8 synthesizer, a piano, guitar parts, and ultimately drum parts performed by all three members in unison. You'll hear how every piece of "Prelude" came together, with an Easter egg linking this song to a very obscure sound effect in a particular horror movie soundtrack. The band teases how this intro might be performed live in the months and years to come. They also describe how they view this song as a natural progression from the intro to "Welcome to the Night" on the Darkness Remains album.
