This California trio, featuring members of THE FUCKING WRATH, first started making noise in 2011. It didn’t take long for the band to make a name for themselves with trad-metal maniacs from across the globe. In fact, shortly after establishing an online presence via Bandcamp, the organizers of Germany’s Keep It True Festival offered NIGHT DEMON a place on the fest’s 2014 line-up.

British metallic stylings reminiscent of Angel Witch, Raven and Iron Maiden are kicked into overdrive with an edgier and gritter dose of American venom. Consider NIGHT DEMON mandatory listening for any NWOBHM fan. The Shadow Kingdom Records CD release is remastered from the digital version and offers an undeniably superior sound.

A video for the song “Night Demon,” filmed, directed and produced by the band, is now playing below:

The band’s self-titled EP was made available on August 6th and can be purchased at http://www.store.shadowkingdomrecords.com.

Critical Praise:

“…raw, ass kicking metal.” – Sounds From the Mead Hall

“The call to join Night Demon’s ritual should be heeded by all those who can trace their metal roots back to the Eighties, or anyone who appreciates metal from the days when the only available prefix was heavy.” – BlackSundayMagazine.net

“Look out for this band; they have something special…” – AveNoctum.com

DEF LEPPARD “No Matter What” – #1 In A Series Of Celebrating Peace And Hope On Metal Odyssey

Keep Calm And Spread Some Hope - promo pic - Metal Odyssey

Within this week marking the anniversary of the horrific events that occurred in the U.S.A. on September 11th, 2001, I will be featuring songs of hope, love, inspiration, positive vibes and goodwill towards man. These songs will be pulled from the Hard Rock and Metal genres too. Hopefully, an attack like that will never happen again upon any country.

There currently is way too much conflict and suffering happening in the world today; our life on Earth is too short for such carnage and despair. War is not the answer and I cherish life, family, music and of course… Metal Buddies. Metal be thy name.
