This week we continue our deep dive into Night Demon's new album, Outsider, by peeling back the curtain on the creative process underlying track 7, "A Wake." You will hear the genesis of the song in early riff tapes, and the pressure-packed circumstances under which the band rediscovered those riffs late in the Outsider writing sessions. The guys explain the necessity of not overplaying their parts, talk about the shimmering vocal harmonies, and lead you through the epic guitar solo at the end. You will also learn the thematic importance of "A Wake" to the narrative, and its significance to telling a story of consequence. The episode concludes with a recent live version of the track, and the band's reflections on its similarities to and differences from fan favorite "Darkness Remains."
