Year of the Demon

In spring 2020, Night Demon released their first new music in three years. On April 3, 2020, the band released a new single called "Empires Fall", featuring a cover of "Fast Bikes" by obscure NWOBHM band Le Griffe as the B-side. On May 8, 2020, Night Demon released a second single entitled "Kill the Pain", with the B-side being a cover of Cirith Ungol song "100 mph". During the spring and summer of 2020, three more strictly limited 7" singles followed: "Are You Out There" (b/w Thin Lizzy cover "The Sun Goes Down") released on June 5, 2020; "Vysteria" (b/w Iron Maiden cover "Wasted Years") released on July 3, 2020; and "In Trance" (Scorpions cover b/w "Top of the Bill" both recorded live with Uli Jon Roth) released on August 7, 2020. All five of the 2020 7" singles sold out almost instantly. Many diehard fans were unable to obtain physical copies. And none of the B-sides of these singles were ever released on digital/streaming platforms. To bring these songs to a wider audience, Night Demon will release a special compilation album entitled Year of the Demon via Century Media Records worldwide on March 25, 2022, in various physical and digital formats. Year of the Demon collects all 10 songs from the 2020 standalone singles in a comprehensive repository, and adds stunning new artwork to the package.
