It’s just been revealed that a demo for the Heavy Metal-inspired action brawler, Brütal Legend, will appear on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PlayStation Network in the middle of next month (September). President of developer Double Fine Productions, Tim Schafer said:

“We just couldn’t wait. Villagers have surrounded our offices with torches, demanding the game,” said Schafer. “So we’re releasing a demo and hope that this taste of metal will keep the mob at bay until Brütal Legend comes out this Rocktober.”

While the full game releases on October 13th and 16th (in the US and Europe respectively), the demo for Brütal Legend will release on September 17th. Although no details on the actual contents of the demo were revealed, there was a hint in the press release, which reads:

“From the bowels of the druid dungeon to the tops of corpse mountains, the Brütal Legend demo is just the beginning of an epic journey.”

Let’s get rockin’!
