Episode #263 - Curse at 10: Full Speed Ahead

August 08, 2025 • NIGHT DEMON HEAVY METAL PODCAST • Episode 263

This week we continue our exploration of Night Demon's landmark debut album, Curse of the Damned, on the occasion of its 10-year anniversary by diving into "Full Speed Ahead." The guys explain why the song is regarded as a Night Demon classic and a fan favorite that features prominently in the live set. You will hear about the musical inspiration for the track and the influences that shaped it. Jarvis talks at length about how and why the song was written for Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead for a planned collaboration that never materialized. The boys also take you through the minutiae of how "Full Speed Ahead" is a different animal live than on studio recordings.
