Episode #38 - Heavy Metal Mixtape - Part 4

Join us for part 4 of our ongoing deep dive into the time capsule known as the Heavy Metal Mixtape, a limited-edition cassette released on Night Demon Records in October 2015. You'll learn about the challenges of getting a cassette manufactured in 2015 and how the stick-to-your-guns philosophy paid dividends for National Audio Company. The focal point of this episode is the Mixtape contributions of Steel Prophet, Black Death Resurrected and Midnight Chaser. For each band, you will hear detailed commentary from Jarvis, as well as band members or label bosses, about the history of the band, the band's connection to Night Demon, why the song was selected, and vignettes about the meaning and inspiration of the track. There is also discussion about a long-lost station ID that unexpectedly surfaced as an audio clip on the Mixtape.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.
