Demons, the Virginia Beach-based heavy music project started by longtime Mae guitarist Zach Gehring, is premiering their new track ‘Always Your Own’ via BrooklynVegan. The song appears on the band’s upcoming debut full-length, ‘Embrace Wolf’.
“I came up with the initial idea for the song in Austin (while on tour with Mae). We were playing the Mohawk and it was storming really bad so the show was delayed. I had all this nervous energy waiting to see if we were going to be able to play or not, and I started going between these two chords and it kind of caught my mood at the time – anxious, frustrated, uncertain. Once I brought it to Demons it developed really quick. I love how short it is, we love playing the song live because of that break down, and it was the first song that was written for the new record. Lyrically the song is about cowardice; self-critical black holes, self-imposed limitations, and the rationalizations of those limitations that can disguise the root of the problem.” – Gehring tells BrooklynVegan.
‘Embrace Wolf’ will be released on December 1st via Spartan Records.
