Night Demon is a classic-sounding heavy metal power trio whose energetic, riff-centric take on the genre descends directly from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Their spare, bruising early recordings like 2015's Curse of the Damned stuck close to the sound of their influences, but by the time of 2017's Darkness Remains they'd added complexity to the songs and increased the production values. The record's success meant the band was a must-have at metal festivals worldwide in the years that followed. On the trio's third affair, they delved into the time-honored tradition of the concept album. 2023's Outsider dealt with alternate realities and the supernatural as well as all-too-real issues of isolation and despair.
