Episode #91 - Vysteria - Part 1

This week we begin exploring "Vysteria," the fourth 7" standalone single released by Night Demon in 2020 and a featured track on the new Year of the Demon compilation album. At the outset, the band members explain how this really isn't a pandemic song and how it's really about self-empowerment in the face of media manipulation and hysteria, all set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. You will learn the surprising origins and dictionary definition of the term "vysteria." Then we get into the musical genesis of the song, beginning with a jam tape dating back to August 2019 and carrying through multiple permutations and incarnations until March 2020. The guys explain how and why the song evolved over time. They also talk about whether they consider "Vysteria" to be the heaviest song in the Night Demon catalog, as well as its connection to thrash metal and how challenging it is to play. Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.
