Are you ready to rock?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When it comes to today’s Traditional Metal scene, few acts do it quite like Night Demon<\/strong>. Sure, you have a spattering of Manilla<\/strong> Road<\/strong> clones, a few bands trying to cop Judas<\/strong> Priest<\/strong>‘s British variety of steel and a whole heck of a lot of Sabbath<\/strong>ian minions, but Night Demon? They’ve struck a perfect chord that mixes the poppier sensibilities of Thin Lizzy<\/strong>, the brute force of Mot\u00f6rhead<\/strong> and the grand storytelling of Iron Maiden<\/strong>. Yes, I just dropped all of those names. Yes, I’m serious. Yes, I’m sure this album was released in 2017.<\/p>\n First things first, if you aren’t familiar with Night Demon’s previous material you need to educate yourself right now. Follow this link for their eponymous debut EP<\/a> and this link for 2015’s infectious rocker Curse of the Damned<\/em><\/a>. Alright, so you’ve plowed your way through those? Pretty killer, aren’t they? Now, are you ready to have your mind blown further?<\/p>\n Somehow, some way, Night Demon have outdone themselves tenfold. Darkness Remains<\/em> is the culmination of the band’s hard work and dedication over their short, yet strenuous, career. The hooks are hookier, the choruses are chorusier and gottdangit the solos are soloier! Most bands can’t manage to pull off an instant classic this soon in their career, but Night Demon prove themselves as a force to be reckoned with while their fist-pumping, leather-clad sophomore album tears apart all those who oppose.<\/p>\n
