For over two decades, 100 Demons have stood as one of hardcore’s most uncompromising forces — a band built on raw conviction and a sound that refuses to be boxed in. With Embrace the Black Light, their long-awaited third album on Closed Casket Activities, Connecticut’s own deliver twelve tracks that push the boundaries even further.
Recorded and fully realized within the walls of Silver Bullet Studios in Burlington, Connecticut, Embrace the Black Light marks a new chapter in the 100 Demons story — one forged with patience, intention, and an ear toward something lasting. Written by Pete Morcey, Rich Rosa, Rick Brayall and Jeremy Braddock, alongside Sean Martin rejoining the group. Produced and recorded by Greg Thomas and engineered alongside Chris Teti, the album was built brick by brick over the course of 2025, allowing each song to breathe and find its shape. The result is the most fully realized record of their discography.
“Writing and recording this last record was an experience like no other. We were able to take our time and carefully craft every single song on this release. Working with Greg Thomas and Chris Teti at Silver Bullet made us realize we would not have been able to do this record without them. And with the guidance of Justin from Closed Casket Activities, we know they brought out the best of us on every level.” - Pete Morcey, Vocals
The album opens without losing any of the band’s signature ferocity. Elsewhere, Embrace the Black Light stretches without losing its footing, adding texture and dimension to an album that earns every moment of its runtime. Mastered by Will Putney of Graphic Nature Audio and featuring the artwork of James Bousema, with guest vocals from Twitching Tongues/God’s Hate members Colin Young and Taylor Young.
