Last week, Ventura, California’s heavy metal institution Night Demon unleashed their third full-length, OUTSIDER, via Century Media Records. For a preview of OUTSIDER, the new video for album track “Beyond The Grave” (directed by Ben Liepelt and the band’s own Jarvis Leatherby) can be viewed below:
Jarvis Leatherby (Vocals / Bass) comments: “‘Beyond the Grave’ marks a pivotal moment in the ‘OUTSIDER’ album. This concept record follows a storyline, and here our main character finds himself in a dire situation, having to confront the darkest aspects of his own psyche. It’s an ode to waging war and making peace with our own alter egos.
“The music video builds on these themes. We explore the darker aspects of ourselves, expressed on screen through magickal ritual and dark mirror gazing. We’re immensely proud of this next single and video, and we hope it strikes a chord with our fans.”

For more than a decade, Night Demon have defiantly flown the flag of traditional heavy metal, unwavering in the face of shifting industry trends and unscarred by global calamities. With new concept album OUTSIDER, the band have challenged themselves musically and lyrically, pushing creative boundaries and evolving their sound far beyond their NWOBHM-worshipping origins into something truly singular.
“Whether straightforward songs or ambitious compositions, Leatherby’s persistence has paid off. He and his mates have made a record that not only speaks to those who know early-’80s metal inside out, but whose appeal to metal nerds of all generations is universal – a blazing, heart-felt, insanely fun reminder of why we all got into this music in the first place.” – Decibel Magazine
“‘OUTSIDER’ is conceptually in no way overloaded and offers purely musically everything that the headbanger heart desires (…) Night Demon occupy the throne of traditional metal with ‘OUTSIDER’.” – Rock Hard
“Night Demon, with the self-titled debut single off their third full length, reassert their status as frontrunners in the pack. To these ears, ‘Outsider’ is the power trio’s best track yet.” – Loudwire
“While a good storyline doesn’t necessarily equate with a good musical album by default, in the case of ‘OUTSIDER’, Night Demon has hit a home run. The grandiose narrative is indeed matched by songwriting that’s much more expansive compared to all that came before. It’s familiar and rooted in what Night Demon has built over the years. Yet there is no mistake that they boldly reached beyond with a forward-thinking mindset.” – Blabbermouth
“…the concept/storybook tale, initially begun in July 2020, is a masterwork.” – Brave Words
“Fans of classic NWOBHM songs should be delighted with the eight songs on ‘OUTSIDER’. Hail the Night Demon!” – Rocks Magazine
“Still hell-bent on classic metal, Night Demon’s new record soars along the NWOBHM-aligned trajectory their last two records established.” – Invisible Oranges
