This week, we shine the spotlight on the phenomenal Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick in our second home, Cleveland Ohio.
Originally founded by Raymond Buckland, the man credited with bringing modern witchcraft to the US in the 1960s, the witchcraft museum is a must-visit destination for anyone with even a passing interest in magick and the occult. Night Demon and crew were lucky enough to wrap up our recent tour with Blind Guardian in Cleveland and made the time to stop by.
Museum Director Steven Intermill took us on a guided tour that included everything from Aleister Crowley's personal possessions, carved mandrake roots, funerary figurines, tasseomancy teacups and even a Rosaleen Norton painting with its own spirit attachment. Steven is wildly entertaining and has doubtlessly been possessed to some degree by the spirit of Pan which adorns so many of the museum artefacts. He even donned a ceremonial Odd Fellows robe and his own "Cleveland Ooser" mask for an impromptu photoshoot with our mascot Rocky!
If you're planning a trip to Cleveland, be sure to stop by. Steven takes small groups by appointment, outlining the history of the collection and taking visitors on a wild ride into the murky depths of magick and witchcraft. Advance booking is essential. There's also a rad store in front servicing all of your occult needs. Check this place out and tell 'em Night Demon sent you!
Today we shine the spotlight on the awesome Haunted Objects Podcast. Night Demon has always loved the paranormal, and spooky themes make their way into our lyrics, artwork and so much of what we do as a band. If you’re a fan of the weird, the supernatural and the strange, this one is for you!
Greg and Dana are the duo behind the Haunted Objects Podcast. Along with their team Connor, Karl and Keelin, they delve into all manner of high strangeness, from ghosts to cryptids to UFOs and everything in between. These folks provide some of the most unique and fresh perspectives on all these otherworldly affairs that you’ll find anywhere.
The Haunted Objects Podcast is available anywhere you listen to podcasts but for the full effect, we totally recommend watching it on YouTube!
Our Spotlight Saturday for July 8, 2023 brings attention to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal Legends Raven and their brand new album All Hell's Breaking Loose! While the band's last two albums "Extermination" and "Metal City" were no slouches, this latest effort smashes everything in its path and brings their "athletic rock" to a whole new level. Night Demon has a very special relationship with Raven. These guys took us on our very first nationwide U.S. tour back in 2014 and we have played countless festivals around the world with them ever since. We are personally looking forward to hearing these songs live in person when we will be sharing the stage with them again, somewhere in the far east of the planet... wink...wink... For now, we reccommend all of you give this masterpiece a spin and try to hold on for dear life, cause its a fuckin' burner!!!!

Our Spotlight Saturday for June 17, 2023 points to Kyle Toucher: the legendary guitarist, vocalist and lyricist for the seminal punk/metal band Dr. Know.

Kyle's latest books "Life Returns" and "Live Wire" are now available on paperback, kindle, and Apple Books.
