Episode #31 - Run For Your Life - Part 1

This episode is part 1 of our coverage of "Run for Your Life," track 9 on Curse of the Damned. You'll learn about the origins of the song dating back to May 2013 and hear snippets of early live versions. The guys talk about how the Jarvis/Armand/Dusty version of the song differs from the Jarvis/Brent/John iteration as originally conceived. Hear them reflect on how "Run for Your Life" captured a moment in time in the evolution of Night Demon. This episode also explores in detail the Run for Your Life recording sessions of what was initially intended to be Night Demon's debut album, why those recordings were scrapped, and how "Run for Your Life" was demoted from title/lead track status to the revered deep cut it is today. Compare the initial recording to that on Curse of the Damned to uncover differences in energy, backing vocals and even sound effects. Above all, this episode provides a lesson in Night Demon's perfectionist spirit and their steadfast refusal to compromise, even if it entails jettisoning a nearly-completed record along the way.
