Night Demon Heavy Metal Podcast

This week we bring you three wild days in the history of Night Demon. We pick up the story on November 16, 2024, with the boys supporting King Diamond and Overkill in the friendly territory of Salt Lake City, Utah. The next morning, the touring party split, with some heading south to Mexico City for a Cirith Ungol festival gig as the others headed north to Vancouver, Canada. Remarkably, both the Ungol fest show and the next night's Vancouver performance went off without a hitch. And Night Demon just kept on rolling through Canada.

In mid-November 2024, Night Demon continued to power through a North American tour supporting King Diamond and Overkill. Fresh off a triumphant gig in Minneapolis, the band hit a setback in Waukee, Iowa, as Jarvis endured painful complications from his vocal surgery. The show went forward through sheer force of will, with a savvy adjustment to the setlist ("War Pigs") to cushion the blow. After two fortuitous days off, Night Demon returned to full force to play a blinder of a gig in Denver in front of a house full of friends and ardent supporters. Leaving the Rocky Mountains in their rear view mirror, the tour rolled on to Utah. Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber .
