Night Demon - Curse of the Damned artwork the song titles, such as 'Screams in the Night', 'Full Speed Ahead' 'Run for Your Life and even the album artwork, show the band - a classic three-piece, very much in the Raven mould - wearing their influences very much on their sleeves (or should that be their denim cutoffs?). And the songs are exactly what you would expect, treading the sort of retro path which the likes of White Wizzard, Skull Fist, Amulet and others have trodden before them.
