Ventura, California’s heavy metal heroes Night Demon are currently electrifying audiences around the world as they tour relentlessly in support of their 2023 magnum opus, ‘Outsider’.
Along the way, the band has heard loud and clear from fans worldwide demanding physical copies of albums from Night Demon’s illustrious back catalog, including the legendary debut album ‘Curse of the Damned’ and the incendiary follow-up, ‘Darkness Remains’.
Unfortunately, both albums have been out of print (at least, in certain formats) for quite some time, leaving collectors’ desires unsatiated and unfulfilled.
Night Demon decided they could no longer ignore these insistent, growing cries.
So earlier this year, they answered the call by releasing Deluxe Editions of these seminal albums on their own Night Demon Records imprint for territories outside of Europe.
On October 4, 2024, SPV/Steamhammer will proudly bring these new and improved Deluxe Editions of ‘Curse of the Damned’ and ‘Darkness Remains’ to European shores to the certain delight of vinyl and CD aficionados looking to round out their Night Demon collections.
Initially seeing the light of day in April 2017, ‘Darkness Remains’ found Night Demon forcefully silencing any speculation of a sophomore slump or a one-album wonder.
‘Darkness Remains’ delivered all the expected NWOBHM-inspired thrills and chills for the Night Demon faithful.
It also represented a bold step forward, as the band honed their songwriting chops, developed more of an individual sound, sharpened their attack, and took some chances along the way.
Heralded by the compelling lead single and video track ‘Welcome to the Night’, ‘Darkness Remains’ also contains audience favorites and live set mainstays such as ‘Dawn Rider’, ‘Black Widow’, ‘Hallowed Ground’ and the haunting title track.
The album took Night Demon to the next level both creatively and commercially, and represented a watershed moment in the trio’s storied career.
The 2024 Deluxe Edition of ‘Darkness Remains’ presents the original album in its entirety, buttressed by a new remastering job courtesy of Night Demon six-stringer Armand John Anthony.
In terms of extras, this version brings together a pair of songs lifted as bonus material for various territories on previous editions of the album, including a raucous cover of Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’ and a mighty run through Black Sabbath’s ‘Turn Up the Night’.
The Deluxe Edition of ‘Darkness Remains’ is available on marbled red/yellow vinyl, as well as CD packaged in a jewel case with an O card and poster.
