In this week's episode, we bring you in-depth commentary and audio clips from the final three gigs of Night Demon's September 2022 European run. These shows - all in Germany - were in the towns of Schrobenhausen, Kassel and Trier.  You'll hear about a freezing cold performance in a tent late at night, as well as Night Demon's long and triumphant history in Kassel, and what it was like to play "Satan" in a church-owned youth hall in a town they had never played before.  You'll also get the lowdown on how the band almost missed their flight from Frankfurt in the early morning after the Trier gig.  The episode concludes with Jarvis, Armand and Dusty touching down in Montreal to commence the "Canada or Bust" leg of the tour.

 This week's episode is part 2 of the extraordinary story of Satan's Den, a superfan's garage in the cornfields of Hilliard, Ohio. Find out how Night Demon came to be booked to play at a house party in the middle of nowhere not once, but three times, and how Satan's Den got its name. Hear from the Ohio faithful how Night Demon and Satan's Den galvanized the scene and created a rallying point for the Ohio heavy metal community to unite. There is detailed discussion of Night Demon's second show there on May 3, 2016, including the pressure on Armand, the legal wrangling that nearly derailed the gig, the memorable setlist, and the recollections and observations from those in attendance. Then we fast forward to Night Demon's third performance at the Den on August17, 2018, including the layout improvements at the venue, the reaction of out-of-towners experiencing the Den's magic for the first time, and the awesome "Stranglehold" cover included on the set. You'll hear what Satan's Den means to the band and the fans, and why Satan's Den will always hold a special place in the heart of the Demon.

This week's episode is "Night Demon at Wacken part 2."  Have you ever wondered what it would be like to perform in front of 10,000 screaming metal maniacs at the most important heavy metal festival on the planet? This is your chance to find out. Jarvis, Armand and Dusty pull back the curtain and give you the inside scoop about the events of August 4, 2018, when they rocked the Wacken stage. Interspersed among extensive audio clips from the gig, the guys run through everything from setlist selections to pre-show nerves to gear setup to feeling the pressure to perspectives on playing to such a large audience. You will hear about Jarvis having to dial back his energy, Dusty's near-catastrophic equipment failure, and Armand's quick thinking solution. Finally, band members and die-hard fans share their reflections on what it meant for an underground band of outcasts to play such an important, high-profile festival.

This week's episode is Night Demon at Wacken part 1, and is devoted to the lead-up to Night Demon's historic performance at the fabled Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany on August 4, 2018.  You'll hear background about the history and importance of the W:O:A Festival to heavy metal, and why it is referred to as "Holy Ground."  The band and others talk about the significance to Night Demon of performing there, and why Wacken is a rite of passage for any metal band or fan.  The guys run through the festivals and gigs they performed in summer 2018 prior to Wacken, and offer a glimpse behind the curtain at the logistics of the check-in process and the backstage accommodations.  There's a hilarious vignette about the Night Demon van being stopped by the German police en route to the festival, which culminated in a classic promo video shared on Night Demon's social media at the time. This episode carries you right up to the moment when the intro tape begins to roll and the band prepares to hit the vaunted Wacken stage in front of 10,000 metal maniacs on Holy Ground.
