Episode #6 - Welcome To The Night - Part 2

Join us for part 2 of the "Welcome to the Night" deep-dive. We explore the now-iconic intro to the song, from the decision not to deploy it as a standalone track to scrutiny of each sonic layer and the vintage gear used to record it. You'll hear about its impact at live shows, the longstanding intro it replaced, and the band's pre-show playlist ritual.  From there, we turn our gaze to the "Welcome to the Night" single, the single cover artwork, the origins of the Night Demon sigil, and its deep connection to the fans.  Be on the lookout for Part 3 of the "Welcome to the Night" discussion, coming next week!
