Releasing the Demons is a song by the heavy metal band Godsmack from their third studio album Faceless and was written by frontman Sully Erna.
Godsmack lead singer Sully Erna is a Wiccan, and in the Wiccan religion, there is a threefold rule: Whatever you send out, whether it be good or bad, comes back to you threefolds. In this song, Sully had released demons from his body resulting in more demons returning. In the middle of the song, Sully speaks of the demons coming back at him threefolds with laughter.
The riff of this song is frequently used by conservative radio talk show host Michael Smerconish as bumper music at the end of on-air segments.
