Imagine Dragons is an American pop rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada,
consisting of lead singer Dan Reynolds,
lead guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman. The band first gained exposure
with the release of their single "It's Time",
followed by their award-winning debut studio album Night Visions(2012), which resulted in the
chart-topping singles "Radioactive"
and "Demons".
Rolling Stone named
"Radioactive", which holds the record for most weeks charted on the Billboard
Hot 100, the "biggest rock hit of the
year". MTV called them "the year's biggest breakout band", and Billboard named them their "Breakthrough Band of 2013" and
"Biggest Band of 2017". and placed them at the top of their
"Year In Rock" rankings for 2013, 2017, and 2018. Imagine Dragons
topped the Billboard Year-End "Top Artists – Duo/Group" category in
2018.
The band's second studio álbum Smoke + Mirrors (2015) reached
number one in the US, Canada and the UK. The album was preceded by the top 40
single "I Bet My Life", and second and third
singles, "Gold"
and "Shots".
The band then embarked on a ten month long world tour,
which led to a brief hiatus in 2016, with occasional performances and
soundtrack contributions throughout the remainder of the year.
The band released their third studio album, Evolve (2017) which resulted in three chart-topping singles, "Believer",
"Thunder",
and "Whatever
It Takes", also making them the artist with the
most weeks at number-one on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart.
The album reached the top five in many countries.
After the Evolve World Tour was completed, Imagine Dragons released their fourth studio album Origins,
on November 9, 2018. "Natural" and "Zero" were released as the first singles
off the album. Afterwards, "Machine" and "Bad Liar" were also released. A
previously released single titled "Born to Be Yours"
was included on a deluxe version of the album. While all four albums were
commercially successful, critical reception was mixed.
Imagine Dragons has won three American Music Awards,
nine Billboard Music Awards,
one Grammy Award, one MTV Video Music Award and one World Music Award.
In May 2014, the band was nominated for fourteen Billboard Music Awards,
including Top Artist of the Year and a Milestone Award, which recognizes
innovation and creativity of artists across different genres. In April 2018,
the band was nominated eleven more times for Billboard Music Awards.
Imagine Dragons have sold 35 million RIAA certified singles in the US and 20 million albums worldwide. They
were the most streamed group of 2018 on Spotify and are the
first rock act to have two songs, "Believer"
and "Thunder"
to surpass one billion streams each.
Imagine Dragons have the top three rock songs
of the 2010s on the Billboard charts, "Believer",
"Thunder", and "Radioactive".
"Demons" is a song by American rock band Imagine Dragons. It was written by Imagine
Dragons and Alex da Kid, and produced by Alex da Kid.
The song appears on their major-label debut extended play,
Continued Silence, and also makes an
appearance on their debut studio album, Night Visions,
as the fourth track. "Demons" was solicited to American triple-A radio stations on January 28, 2013 and to modern rock stations on April 1 and
serves as the album's overall fifth single and was released as the third single
from Night Visions in the United States, and was later released to contemporary hit radio stations on 17 September 2013 as an official single. The lyrics
portray the protagonist warning the significant other of his or her flaws.
The
song was a commercial success, becoming their second top ten single after
"Radioactive". It spent
twelve weeks in the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100,
four of which were spent at its number six peak. It is Imagine Dragons' second
song to stay more than one year on the Hot 100 (61 weeks). Within two years of its release, more than 4.1 million
copies were sold in the United States, making it the eighth most downloaded
song in rock history. It has also been a moderate commercial success worldwide,
charting in several countries. The song won a MuchMusic Video Award for International Video of the Year – Group (2014) and an iHeartRadio Music Award for Alternative Rock Song of the Year (2014).
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh
I'm waking up to ash
and dust
I wipe my brow and sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in,
shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Oh, oh
I'm waking up
I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new
age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm radioactive, radioactive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm radioactive, radioactive
I raise my flag, and
dye my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Oh, oh
I'm breaking in,
shaping up
Then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Oh, oh
I'm waking up
I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new
age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm radioactive, radioactive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm radioactive, radioactive
All systems go
The Sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones
Straight from inside
I'm waking up
I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new
age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm radioactive, radioactive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm radioactive,
radioactive.
