Children of the Night

In Children of the Night, the band Survivor explores a sonic atmosphere that strays from the more direct energy of other tracks. The piece, clocking in at 4:45, stands out for its construction and the way elements are integrated. The production, handled by Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan, aimed for a distinct sound, with recording engineering carried out by Phil Bonnano, Mike Clink, and Hill Swimmer.

This track is part of the album Eye of the Tiger, released in 1982. That record, the band’s third, had a considerable impact, reaching number two on the Billboard charts in the United States. The album’s lead single, Eye of the Tiger, topped the charts in both the U.S. and the U.K. The album itself received a double platinum certification from the RIAA in October 1994.
