Episode # 268 - Curse at 10: Run For Your Life

September 12, 2025 • Night Demon • Episode 268

As we continue our track-by-track analysis of Night Demon's influential debut album, Curse of the Damned, for its tenth anniversary, this week we reach the unheralded song "Run for Your Life." Originally intended as the title track of the album, it eventually became relegated to track 9, an overlooked deep cut rarely aired on stage. In this episode, you'll find out why and hear the band members' impressions of the song, in both a studio and live context. You will hear how the song evolved over time and why Night Demon are enthused to bring it back to the setlist for the tenth anniversary shows. Additional details about "Run for Your Life" - and particularly the lyrical content - can be found at Episodes 31 and 32 of this Podcast.
