"Demon Speeding" roars out of The Sinister Urge, Rob Zombie's second studio album from 2001, and in July 2002 it became the record's second and last single. It opens with a snatch of audio lifted from the film The Amazing Colossal Man before Zombie, who wrote it with producer Scott Humphrey, takes over on lead vocals, with Riggs on guitar, Blasko on bass and John Tempesta on drums. Humphrey and Zombie produced it, and Frank Gryner engineered and mixed it with Humphrey: an industrial-metal hot rod with the throttle taped down.
The song kept moving after that. Chris Vrenna, formerly of Nine Inch Nails, remixed it in 2002 as the "Black River Mix", which landed on the compilation NASCAR: Crank It Up and in the video game FlatOut 2, and the song also turns up on Zombie's compilation Past, Present & Future.
