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.

An exciting accessory to the Curse of the DamnedUltimate Edition boxset is the Axe-Wielding Eugene action figure. To highlight this cool merch item, Night Demon enlisted the services of longtime friend and former Midnight guitarist Shaun Vanek to create a 30-second commercial. In this episode, you will hear all about how that commercial came to be through an entertaining conversation between Shaun and Jarvis. Among other things, they talk about the exchange of ideas culminating in the video concept, the technology employed to create the commercial, the fact that no actual Eugene figure was present during the shoot, the challenges of telling a story in 30 seconds, and various touches that enhanced the campy, comedic vibes the creators were aiming for.

As part of the 10th anniversary celebration for Curse of the Damned, Night Demon have unveiled their first action figure for Axe-Wielding Eugene, the sinister black-clad figure on the album cover. In this episode, we tackle the questions of why Night Demon decided to do an action figure and how the character came to be named Eugene. The bulk of the episode consists of Jarvis's interview with Kyle, toy designer at Carve the Five who is responsible for creating this timeless piece of Night Demon memorabilia. Listen in as Kyle walks you through his history in the business and his connection to Night Demon, as well as a step-by-step description of all phases of the design and manufacturing processes.

This week we conclude our 10-year anniversary retrospective on Night Demon's Curse of the Damned track by track, by exploring the album closer, 'Save Me Now." Although this track was covered in depth in Episodes 202-203, we revisit it now and expose new nooks and crannies, details that have never before surfaced.  Among other nuggets, you will learn how "Save Me Now" got Dusty the gig as Night Demon drummer, why Jarvis is so proud of it from a writing perspective, how the keyboard / organ sections came to be and when they were reproduced live, how it has the longest pick slide in the history of recorded music, why the track eventually faded from the live set, and why it's a tricky song to nail live, In many ways, "Save Me Now" is a "hit song" that wasn't, and the band are very fond of it.

As we continue our track-by-track rundown of Night Demon's Curse of the Damned album for its 10th anniversary, we reach the penultimate song, "Killer." One of the most rarely aired tunes in the band's catalog, "Killer" epitomizes an underrated deep cut.  In this episode, Night Demon members discuss the musical and lyrical inspiration for the song, walk you through multiple demos, explain why they view it as a strong album track but not necessarily a strong live track, and present you with a warts-and-all live recording from 2023 in St. Johns, Newfoundland.
