This week we continue our coverage of the historic Frost & Fire V Festival held in Ventura, California in October 2025. We begin by exploring why Bombay Bar & Grill is the perfect - the only - venue for this festival. It's not only Night Demon's history with the place, but also the physical layout and the relationships with ownership.  Then the band and crew talk about logistics, gear, and issues / challenges to devise suitable lighting solutions. The lineup for Day 1 was meant to commence with Saber; however, the band broke up shortly before the festival, so San Diego's Wally World came on to replace them, to decidedly inauspicious results.

This week we wrap up our trilogy of episodes chronicling Night Demon's historic performance at the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, in August 2025. We begin by setting the stage: the location, the vibe, the full moon, the crippling heat. Then we dig into Night Demon's setlist, including Curse of the Damned in its entirety, the special "Black Sabbath" cover, and the unexpected bonus of "Black Widow." The guys discuss the crowd reaction, the Rock Hall reaction, and their own feelings of gratitude for a very special night in a very special place with very special fans. Along the way, you will hear a generous helping of audio from the band's electrifying Rock Hall performance.
