Demons


"Demons" by Imagine Dragons is a pop rock track from their debut studio album Night Visions, released in 2012. Written by a collaborative team including Dan Reynolds and producer Alex da Kid, the song blends introspective lyrics with a stripped-back arrangement built around clean guitar tones and steady rhythmic strumming. For electric guitar players, it offers an accessible yet expressive piece to study dynamics, chord voicings, and the restrained playing style that defines Imagine Dragons' signature sound.

  • "Demons" first appeared on the Continued Silence EP before being included as the fourth track on Night Visions.
  • The song was written by six collaborators, including band members Dan Reynolds, Ben McKee, and Wayne Sermon alongside producer Alex da Kid.
  • "Demons" was released to American triple-A radio stations on January 28, 2013, serving as the album's fifth overall single.

Fender Telecaster

Wayne Sermon's primary instrument for Imagine Dragons, the Telecaster's bright single-coil pickups and natural clarity enable his precise palm-muting technique and aggressive downpicking to cut through without heavy effects. The high-output bridge pickup paired with increased action prevents buzz during the band's clean-to-slightly-overdriven tones, making every picking articulation audible.
