Thursday, December 19: Night Demon, "Obsidian"

A strong work ethic can go a long way, as Jarvis Leatherby turned Night Demon into a viable working band through sheer persistence, touring relentlessly and with absolutely anyone willing to bring them along, tirelessly promoting the band and calling out virtually every NWOBHM act that ever existed in hopes of gaining attention anywhere it could be offered.  The music itself was perfectly fine, not super memorable but enjoyable enough while it was playing, but its sweatiness effectively conveyed the group’s workhorse nature.  So by the time Outsider came out Night Demon was at least accepted if not especially beloved, and “Obsidian” was a high-octane headbanger that dripped with enthusiasm and a sense of craft that came from years on the road.  Neither the riffing nor vocals were all that catchy, but they were clearly trying really hard, so that was something.  To be sure, there was actually something endearing about how much affection Leatherby had not only for the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, but also the z-grade ‘80s indie metal bands that built small followings around the Midwest, because that’s who Night Demon truly emulated.  “Obsidian” was the kind of thing that almost immediately slips from memory after it’s finished, but feels like a slamming banger while it goes and does the job in the moment.

BLIND GUARDIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey folks sorry for running 72 hours late, better late than never, here's my 4th review of 2024, Blind Guardian!!!!! It had been 8 years since I last saw them which was at Wacken Open Air 2016 and that show was absolutely electric. It had been 9 years since I last saw them in Toronto and that was at Danforth Music Hall with Gravedigger as the opening act. This was also the 4th different venue I've seen Blind Guardian play, which I will elaborate later on.

Let's begin the festivities!

Firsr band up was NIGHT DEMON!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had heard of this band via seeing their name circulate around social media but never checked them out beforehand. I will say they had a great live show as frontman and bassist Jarvis Leatherby, who if you asked me looked like Jonathan Davis and Glen Benton had a love child together, and guitarist Armand Anthony, who looked like Rotting Christ frontman and guitarist Sakis Tolis, had great stage presence and energy. My only disappointment was the lack of banter, but I suppose the reason for that was time limitation in which their set lasted for 45 minutes, which is a great amount of time for an opening act. At one point their mascot came out with a chalice to pour invisible red wine or blood. Here's their setlist:

1. Outsider

2. Screams in the Night

3. Escape From Beyond

4. Dawn Rider

5. The Howling Man

6. Beyond the Grave

7. The Wrath

8. Welcome to the Night

9. The Chalice

10. Night Demon

After Night Demon it was time for BLIND GUARDIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 4th time seeing them and as I mentioned earlier, I last saw them 8 years ago at Wacken Open Air when they were one of the headliners alongside Twisted Sister, Iron Maiden, and Whitesnake, and it was the day after I saw Maiden play and the day before I saw Twisted Sister play, and I remember that show was absolutely awesome as I got to see BG play in their home country and the crowd was electric especially during The Bard's Song and Valhalla, which was their last song at the time. I also remember half the field being empty during Ministry and Testament's sets as the crowd was spent after BG finished. Also before BG, Tarja was performing and the crowd grew impatient as they were craving BG. This show was great but definitely not as great compared to seeing them at Kool Haus when the sound was crystal clear, same with Danforth Music Hall when the sound was clear, once again Rebel dropped the ball with their muddy sound. Hansi Kürsch not only sounds phenomenal live especially since he's pushing 60, he's hilarious in between songs because before Blood of the Elves he said the following "Another tough night for me *crowd laughs* I'm sure we will get you sooner or later. We do everything possible, what exactly? I do not know IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK HERE TORONTO!!! *Crowd roars* This is how we imagined a Canadian welcome. *crowd cheers* You approve I know. *crowd laughs* We will help you on that, why so confident on that? It's quite easy because of the guys behind me. That's all the praise thinks of you're right. Well but (Marcus) him he knows all the tricks, he's a great guy. He's not wasting too much time on music anymore. He's indulging in his 'Witcher' career *crowd laughs*. A role model for almost everyone, apart for the people who want to play guitar. But uh maybe when we come back next time, he will improve. He's also not that good a Witcher as we will find out on the next one. But he's good for having that. Even you do not know whatever you're cheering now right? And it means all the hard work for you, let's protect the Blood of the Elves" man that was amusing how Hansi had said that Marcus Siepen having gone totally grey was cosplaying as the Witcher as a means to roast him. I'll also highlight this was the 6th time overall I've seen Hansi Kürsch live as I saw him twice with Demons & Wizards 5 years ago before Jon Schaffer's legal woes which would lead to D&W breaking up in the process. In conclusion this show was great, but Wacken Open Air 2016 tops them all. Here's their setlist:

1. Imaginations From the Other Side

2. Blood of the Elves

3. Nightfall

4. The Script For my Requiem

5. Violent Shadows

6. Skalds and Shadows

7. Into the Storm

8. Secrets of the American Gods

9. The Bard's Song - In the Forest

10. Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill)

11. Lost in the Twilight Hall

Encore:

12. Sacred Worlds

13. Bright Eyes

14. Valhalla

15. Mirror Mirror

Overall a great show and a great way to spend a Thursday night.

HEAVY METAL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
