Bio:

From out of the darkness comes a new EP to sear your soul, “Night Demon” , by the band Night Demon hailing from Ventura, California. A self-titled debut from a terrific 3-piece that will remind you of everything great about Heavy Metal in the early 80s.Night Demon encompasses the best about that era, but they bring the genre into the modern day with ease. Although they've been compared to NWOBHM acts like Angel Witch, Saxon, Diamondhead, and Samson, as well as some American ones like Riot, they have composed material that sounds fresh in today's world.“Night Demon” is a classic, fist-pumping rock anthem right from the start, extolling the virtues of being Night Demon in verse. With the power of Metal your town is doomed by Night Demon!! Or at least your beer supply. Driving bass lines reminiscent of old Iron Maiden accompany vocals remindful of Guy Speranza of Riot. This first tune lets you know what the rest of the album will be like. They don't stray far from the formula of the era but they exercise everything that was good about it. Without missing a beat, everything that was awesome about the time is brought to new life.“The Chalice” rings true of some of the best of that power-driven metal that combines into a single, catchy, sing-along song, like every song on this album, really. Lyrically, it is one of those songs that just epitomizes what this style of music is supposed to bring. Sealing the selling of one's soul over a drink with the Devil is just another day for some. With deep bass lines, catchy guitar hooks, and an eerie vocal approach, it is perhaps the best executed song on the album.“Ancient Evil”. Now any song about Cthulu better be well done or you're toast. Good for these guys that they did it right!! Storytelling at its best drawing from H.P. Lovecraft's works, it is a fast-paced barn burner that chugs along like a freight train from opening to end. Steeped in classic metal, this cut depends heavily on the vocal performance being delivered properly while eliciting excitement from the listener. Mission is accomplished on this tune, with a delivery that shows the ability and range of Jarvis Leatherby's vocals.“Ritual” closes out the album with a classic double-time thrash piece. Kicking right off with pressing guitar riffs and thunderous drums, this song rips right into you from the start. As the EP started so it ends, reminding everyone that the “Ritual” involves Night Demon, circles of fans, and drinking to be sure. No town will be spared the devastation of a rampaging Rock Band. No magic will protect you from the Night Demon...Embodying everything that was fun and great of a past era, this band is definitely keeping it old school. They deliver with every song, and show no signs of slowing. Already they have played all over Europe in many festivals including Germany's Keep It True Festival 2014. The KIT is legendary for delivering metal to the masses year in and year out at sold out shows. This band isn't out to change any musical landscapes. They are simply recreating music from a time when great music was plentiful and drawing from its best examples. Whether it's thunderous and driving rhythms or searing guitars and vocals, this EP delivers the best of the era. It ends far too soon, doesn't overstay, and leaves you wanting more in just under 15 minutes.Consisting of Jarvis Leatherby on vocals/bass, Brent Woodward on guitar, and Dusty Squiers on drums, this is an amazing power trio with a ranged vocalist that allows the band to slide around so many of the great sounds of the times. We are destined to hear more of this band, so add their patch to your denim jacket and let the claws of the Night Demon pull you in...

Album:

With galloping riffs, anthemic choruses and searing guitar solos, traditional heavy metal, NWOBHM-inspired metal, call it what you will, always delivers when executed to a high standard. Many bands come forward with their inspirations firmly on their sleeves, obvious nods to forerunners and can often be good if unoriginal and just as often fade away after a particularly uninspired album that regurgitates ideas that have been done better elsewhere. However, as mentioned, when done well a band can really make their mark. NIGHT DEMON have been plying their trade over the last decade and with several albums and a compilation under their studded belts have set forth with an ambitious concept album for their new release. Combining all the main stylistic elements one would expect from the genre, yet still adding in a unique flavour, Outsider certainly sees the three-piece in fine form.As an album, Outsider represents a more cohesive and perhaps more well-planned release than their previous works. The approach of developing a conceptual theme between tracks is not new to NIGHT DEMON. Occasional flashes of storytelling links can be found on previous albums such as debut release Curse Of The Damned. However, the new album delivers a fully fleshed out and realised theme from start to finish. As a result, the band have stepped up their game both lyrically and musically. They’ve never come across as slouches when it comes to delivery and previous works show that they are more than capable of producing stand out riffs and hooks, but there is a striking difference that can now be found and it’s a unified sound that grabs the attention.From the opening Prelude that sets the scene and tone on an almost cinematic scale, NIGHT DEMON launch into the full-blown earworm of a lead single. The title track Outsider tears off the mark, with a full band wall of noise producing a catchy hook led track. The vocals soar above the mix with well-constructed harmonies lending weight to the chorus and elevating the already powerful punch provided by the instrumentation. The pace is rapid and the journey begins.Over the following tracks the band embark on the compelling conceptual path. The lyrics are interspersed with tales of the supernatural and horror themes which have been scattered throughout various other tracks in NIGHT DEMON’s back catalogue. These are mixed with very real human emotions of loss and regret that when delivered here and mixed with all the stylistic elements of traditional metal makes for a highly engaging and often times enthralling album.Tracks such as Obsidian, Rebirth and Escape From Beyond serve up wall-to-wall head banging riffs and air guitar inducing lead lines that are commonplace of this genre style yet are delivered with a bright, punchy mix marking them out as joyous highlights. Beyond The Grave and A Wake offer a slight change of place and shift the dynamics expertly with a more reserved approach while still packing a sonic wallop. The latter of the two delivers the box ticking lighter in the air ballad element of the album.Overall Outsider is an excellent slice of metal. The tracks have been well constructed and it’s clear NIGHT DEMON have got a solid handle on their craft and have developed an educated approach to their musical style, knowing exactly when and how to run riot and let the riffs do the talking, yet keeping the whole thing unified and coherent. The mix supplies a weighty presence and attack to the sound making Outsider not only a career highlight thus far for the band but also a contender for an album highlight of 2023.
