Originally released in January 2015, Curse of the Damned refined and expounded on Night Demon’s signature sound as debuted on their self-titled EP a few years earlier. It also inspired fanatical devotion amongst the heavy metal faithful, garnering widespread critical acclaim and being voted the #1 album of 2015 by listeners of WCJU’s Metal on Metal radio show in Cleveland, Ohio. To promote the record, Night Demon hit the killing road for the better part of two years, crisscrossing both sides of the Atlantic Ocean on multiple treks, as well as Mexico, Latin America and South America. With each successive tour, Night Demon’s reputation as a must-see live band grew exponentially, as did their fanbase.
The 2024 Deluxe Edition of Curse of the Damned showcases the entire original album, freshly remastered by Night Demon guitarist Armand John Anthony. It also includes a pair of bonus tracks compiled from various prior editions, in the form of a cover of Riot’s “Road Racin’” and a re-recording of Night Demon’s classic “The Chalice” entitled simply “The Chalice ’15.” This special reissue of Curse of the Damned is available on blood-red vinyl, as well as CD housed in a jewel case with an O card and fold-out poster.
