This week’s episode focuses on “Ancient Evil,” an underrated classic on the four-song Night Demon  EP. Jarvis goes into detail about how the writings of American horror author H. P. Lovecraft influenced heavy metal, Night Demon, and this song specifically. The lyrics’ numerous references to Lovecraftian characters and concepts are explained.  You will hear how this song was written, why it is Armand’s favorite track on the EP, and how the tempos have accelerated on “Ancient Evil” from the demo stage to the studio recording to the current live version.  Jarvis hints at a strong comeback for this oft-overlooked track in upcoming Night Demon setlists, and describes how it works so effectively live when sandwiched in between “Road Racin’” and “Satan.”
