Following two successful support tours in the US and extensive touring in Europe, Ventura CA old-school heavy metal trio Night Demon embarked on the most epic journey of their career thus far, setting out to traverse as much of America as humanly possible. The tour began on May 2nd 2015 with its first destination of Phoenix AZ, and ended in Los Osos CA on July 12th, 72 days, 18000-plus miles, 30 states and 44 shows later.
In the process, Night Demon played a wild variety of venues in towns big, small and obscure. A majority of these shows were headline gigs, and a handful were done as a support act for bigger touring/hometown acts.
The tour witnessed further development of the band’s live show, with an expansion of the set list through previously unplayed songs off of the debut full-length album ‘Curse Of The Damned’, and the addition of new stage props. But most importantly, the band impressed one and all whenever and wherever they took the stage, not leaving a single attendee disappointed or underwhelmed, and established a stronghold in every corner of the country for regular touring in the future.
