NIGHT DEMON: Curse Of The Damned
- Thread starter KingsGene
- Start date
I saw them on Monday in Philly. They put on a great show. If anyone else is going to catch the show make sure you show up early and catch Visigoth. In fact, I thought Visigoth stole the show and they were the opening band. The second band Against The Grain was so so. Not my cup of tea. But do catch Night Demon and Visigoth by all means.
NIGHT DEMON Announces Curse Of The Damned – Ultimate Edition Box Set, Axe Wielding Eugene Action Figure, “Curse Of The Damned 10th Anniversary Tour”
"... Southern California power trio, Night Demon, have spent more than a decade honing their trademark heavy metal sound and have deservedly become the flag-bearers of the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal movement. First released in 2015, Curse Of The Damned was Night Demon’s first full-length album and quickly became canon for any true heavy metal die-hard. Now with three studio albums and a live album under their belts, Night Demon is thrilled to commemorate Curse Of The Damned in epic fashion. This special 10th anniversary box set includes many never-before-seen items including multiple vinyl, CDs, a cassette, a DVD, four posters, a comic book and much more...."
Frontman and bassist Jarvis Leatherby says:
The Curse Of The Damned – Ultimate Edition Box Set – limited to 1,000 hand-numbered copies – will be in stores September 5, and is available for pre-order here.
Additionally, brought to you by Night Demon and Carve the Five [the brainchild of veteran toy designers Kyle Wlodyga & Brian Lew (previously of Super7 and co-author of Murder In The Front Row)]: the Axe Wielding Eugene action figure, as featured on the cover of Curse Of The Damned!
The album’s sinister artwork introduced a key figure in Night Demon’s pantheon of rogues, Eugene. A black-clad figure shrouded in darkness save for his burning eyes and menacing axe, Eugene is the true demon of the night. The lethal power of axe-crazy Eugene is further enshrined in the “Blood Sacrifice” horror-themed comic that accompanied the release of Curse Of The Damned. Lest there be any residual doubt, you’d best heed the band’s warning about Eugene: “Look behind you / He’s coming to get you / With his axe in his hands …”
Pre-order the Axe Wielding Eugene action figure (also available September 5) here.

For the latest from Night Demon, be sure to tune into the “Night Demon Heavy Metal Podcast”, where the band will be diving deep into the material and specifics contained in the box set for a new season of Curse Of The Damned-related episodes starting Friday, June 13, and continuing consecutively each Friday with a brand new episode. Listen here.
The band made the daring decision to include three distinct vinyl variants of the album – each with their own story to tell. Indeed, these three iterations almost convey the past, present and future of Curse Of The Damned as a work.
The “Run For Your Life Sessions” are a fully-fledged recording of the album which, until now, never saw the light of day. Upon completion, the band realized that the over-production of this effort was not representative of their raw, unbridled sound and into the vaults it went.
They re-recorded the album entirely, creating the “Original Master” that the band first released to the world ten years ago. Now a decade later, the “10th Anniversary Remix” has given the band a unique opportunity to reimagine Curse as they had always dreamt it could be...."
