Southern California power trio NIGHT DEMON have spent more than a decade honing their trademark heavy metal sound and have deservedly become the flag-bearers of the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal movement. First released in 2015, Curse of the Damned was NIGHT DEMON's first full-length album and quickly became canon for any true heavy metal die-hard. Now with three studio albums and a live album under their belts, NIGHT DEMON is thrilled to commemorate Curse of the Damned in epic fashion. This special 10th anniversary box set includes many never-before-seen items including multiple vinyl, CDs, a cassette, a DVD, four posters, a comic book and much more.

Frontman and bassist Jarvis Leatherby says: "When compiling this box set, we wanted to make sure it was a definitive representation of our debut full-length album and touring cycle with nothing left on the table. Our purpose was to over-deliver on value and keep the price point as low as possible. For the fans that have pushed us along in our journey for the past ten years, this is for you. Thank you!"

The Curse of the Damned - Ultimate Edition Box Set -- limited to 1,000 hand-numbered copies; scroll to the bottom of this page for all contents and details -- will be in stores September 5th, 2025 and is available for pre-order now via: cursedamn.com

Additionally, brought to you by NIGHT DEMON and Carve the Five [the brainchild of veteran toy designers Kyle Wlodyga & B>Brian Lew (previously of Super7 and co-author of Murder In The Front Row)]: the Axe Wielding Eugene action figure, as featured on the cover of Curse of the Damned!

The album's sinister artwork introduced a key figure in NIGHT DEMON's pantheon of rogues, Eugene. A black-clad figure shrouded in darkness save for his burning eyes and menacing axe, Eugene is the true demon of the night. The lethal power of axe-crazy Eugene is further enshrined in the "Blood Sacrifice" horror-themed comic that accompanied the release of Curse of the Damned. Lest there be any residual doubt, you'd best heed the band's warning about Eugene: "Look behind you / He's coming to get you / With his axe in his hands ..."

Pre-order the Axe Wielding Eugene action figure (also available September 5th, 2025) now via: cursedamn.com

To further commemorate this milestone anniversary, NIGHT DEMON will be performing the Curse of the Damned album in its entirety at select shows across the globe -- most notably at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on August 9th. In addition, the band will be co-hosting the Metal on Metal radio show on 88.7 WJCU on August 8th. See below for all dates!

For the latest from NIGHT DEMON, be sure to tune into the "Night Demon Heavy Metal Podcast", where the band will be diving deep into the material and specifics contained in the box set (also detailed below) for a new season of Curse of the Damned-related episodes starting Friday, June 13th, and continuing consecutively each Friday with a brand new episode. Listen here: https://nightdemon.net/podcast

The band made the daring decision to include three distinct vinyl variants of the album-- each with their own story to tell. Indeed, these three iterations almost convey the past, present and future of Curse of the Damned as a work.

The "Run For Your Life Sessions" are a fully-fledged recording of the album which, until now, never saw the light of day. Upon completion, the band realized that the over-production of this effort was not representative of their raw, unbridled sound and into the vaults it went.

They re-recorded the album entirely, creating the "Original Master" that the band first released to the world ten years ago. Now a decade later, the "10th Anniversary Remix" has given the band a unique opportunity to reimagine Curse as they had always dreamt it could be.
