Night Demon-Curse of the Damned
I saw them open for Anvil in St. Petersburg a few weeks ago. Simply put, these guys put on an amazing show *(see below for the one flaw in the show). By far the best of the opening acts these guys are so loud and fast that I expected their album to be like Mortal Treason or Norma Jean but instead, it's more like Kiss meets Megadeth. That's not an insult, in fact it's a compliment-but the overall sound of the band is totally different then what they are live.
"The Chalice" is the best song on the album but "Run for Your Life" and "Screams of the Night" are fantastic as well. While it's much too early and it's a different time than it was back in the 70's-early 90's, Night Demon could have been the next Iron Maiden if they were a few decades older. They still have potential to be a fantastic band and this is a great album.
*during their live show they had a guy in a skeleton costume come out on stage, wave a chalice around and pour a liquid from the chalice on the audience members. It was supposed to be scary, but it failed miserably. All I could think of was the movie "Spinal Tap." A few people in the audience were laughing. A band this good doesn't need silly gimmicks like that.
