Self-Titled Album/Cassette Drops October 31st
“I wanted a video that was a cross between the random shit they used to project on the walls in rock clubs and something you’d find buried in the woods on some sketchy video tape but with some sort of arc. The visual version of how the music sounds to me. I feel like these visuals do a better job of explaining the music than words ever could because it’s a mood describing a mood. I edited and constructed the video in the same way as I wrote, performed and produced the song. That’s why it feels so connected to my eyes and ears. Editing video is kinda like an extension of making music in the studio. It’s just working with video files instead of audio files, so when I make the videos, I’m just picking up where I left off in making the record. It’s like adding a 4th dimension to the music. It’s affecting another one of your senses to put you in a mindset beyond what audio is capable of. It’s like a film score in reverse. I’m scoring the album with images and hopefully it adds for other people what it adds for me as a viewer.” – Mitch Davis
“Demon” hits with a clean accessibility, the likes of The Queens of the Stone Age, with stoner rock feels…

About SALTPIG:
SALTPIG is a two-man metal band with its members living practically on opposite ends of the globe. Mitch Davis started writing this debut album and enlisted drummer Fabio Alessandrini (playing with Annihilator at the time) early on in the process. Even though they are separated by an ocean with Mitch based in the US and Fabio in Italy, technology allowed them to make a record as easily as if they were in the same room.
Mitch Davis has worked with and recorded bands/artists such as Damon Albarn, U2, Mark Lanegan, Billy Squier, Danger Mouse and Stephen Malkmus. He has also co-written the four latest LA Guns records since the Tracii Guns / Phil Lewis reunion and the Sunbomb album with Michael Sweet. But the SALTPIG project is in a decidedly darker and much less commercial direction while still being very memorable and hooky.
