When the world came to a standstill in March 2020, Night Demon's extensive tour plans were derailed; however, their creative flame burned brighter than ever. During the spring and summer of 2020, the band released a series of five standalone, limited-edition 7" singles, which were devoured by their loyal fans; all physical copies sold out instantly. Aside from the original songs (which were also released on digital/streaming platforms), the single recordings were exclusive to the 7" vinyl pressings; they were never made available to the public for purchase in any other format—until now, with "Year of the Demon."
