Episode #40 - Heavy Metal Mixtape - Part 6

Night Demon Heavy Metal Podcast

This week concludes our six-part investigation of the Heavy Metal Mixtape, a limited-edition cassette released on Night Demon Records in October 2015. Find out about a planned volume 2 of the Mixtape that - at least, thus far - has not come to fruition, and the improbable Bryan Adams dimension of that project. Discover how Iron Grip Records is keeping the cassette compilation alive in the form of periodic Mystery Metal Mixtapes. Hear the words of the artist responsible the cover artwork and layout for the Heavy Metal Mixtape. And get the inside scoop about the Mixtape contributions of Volture, Hessian, Harbinger and Widow. With respect to each contributor, you will hear detailed commentary from Jarvis, as well as band members, about the band's history, its connection to Night Demon, and the significance and meaning of the song. In the end, Jarvis reflects on the meaning and impact of the Heavy Metal Mixtape, expounding on how it and the Frost and Fire Festival combined to celebrate the unity, brotherhood, and cohesiveness of this nascent music scene on American shores in 2015.
