Episode #112 - Flight of the Manticore

Night Demon Heavy Metal Podcast

This week's episode is devoted to "Flight of the Manticore," the standout instrumental track from the Darkness Remains album and a staple of the Night Demon live set to this day. You'll learn what a manticore is, how the song came to receive its unusual title, and why the guys in Night Demon are so enamored of instrumentals. You will hear about the song's unlikely origins in Montana and how Armand helped to shape and develop it into final form. Jarvis, Armand and Dusty explain why "Flight of the Manticore" never received vocals and identify the musical passages in this song that they love the most. They also talk about how it works as a live track. Along the way, attentive listeners will pick up on numerous clues and hints about the new Night Demon record, including an exclusive scoop near the end of the episode.
