Saltpig have shared a guitar playthrough video for their new song “Demon.” This track will appear on their self-titled debut album, which is set to arrive on Halloween (October 31).

Mitch Davis told Ultimate Guitar the following about the song:

"'Demon' is one of those songs I love to play because it's got this classic metal/rock simplicity that's galloping while being so laid back in the verses that it's almost like falling asleep while you're driving. It's just moving along, then there's a guitar trill that's like shaking around trying to wake yourself up... And it all gets interrupted by these chords that hit you on the upbeats out of nowhere that feel like your head just fell down and you snap yourself back up and out of it. I'm not sure exactly what inspired that Blue Cheer-style vibrato in the guitar solos, but it was definitely intentional. I think it was partially just because it seemed like an 'anti-trendy' thing to do and also because it just felt right for the song. To my ears, 'Demon' has this badass mysterious confidence that doesn't feel like it needs to be filled up with a bunch of stuff. It's basically just the one rhythm guitar, solos, bass, drums and vocals. It breathes and it's comfortable in its own skin. This wasn't the first song I wrote for the album, but it is the first song I recorded vocals and finished the production on from the record. It set up the momentum for the whole thing."

He also added the following about the album:

"I get bored listening to a record where every song comes on with the same drum sound, same guitar sound, same vocal production. Maybe it's the producer in me or maybe it's a byproduct of how we listen to music on streaming services now. I wanted to create something that felt more like a mix tape. When I produced these tracks, I basically zeroed everything out from song to song and let the songs be their own entities. To force myself to write unexpected things, I changed tunings from song to song to force me away from what might fall naturally under my fingers. I even put a song on the album that's nearly 20 minutes long. The only rule I gave myself and Fabio was to disregard anything that could be considered a 'rule', and at the same time to not be jarringly different just for the sake of being different. It's more about just following a creative vision without having to be constrained by what is expected. It all sounds varied from song to song, but consistently Saltpig at the same time because, in the end, it's still me writing the songs, singing, playing the parts and producing/mixing the tracks with Fabio playing the drums, so It always sounds like Saltpig."
