1) A British … Read Full Bio ↴Demon is the name attributed to more than one artist:
1) A British hard rock/heavy metal band associated with the NWOBHM.
Formed during the first wave of NWOBHM by lyricist/vocalist Dave Hill and guitarist Mal Spooner, with Paul Riley on bass, Clive Cook on guitar and John Wright on drums, the Midlands, United Kingdom quintet hooked up with Clay Records supremo, Mike Stone, in 1980, to release their first single, 'Liar'. Issued on blood-red vinyl, in a limited edition run of just 5000 copies ,Dave Hill and Mal Spooner were in a glam rock band Iron Cross before forming Demon. "Liar" marked the beginning of an incredible story spanning two decades - and counting.
January 1981 saw the band venture into the studio to record their first album, 'Night of the Demon', whilst Clay Records struck a licensing deal with Carrere Records, to secure the album's release. Half tales of mystery and imagination, half straight-ahead rock, 'Night of the Demon' was both powerful and thoughtful - polished metal of the highest quality. Another single, 'Ride the Wind', also taken from the album, followed. The Demon machine was starting to gather momentum, which was infused with energy by the interest of Radio 1 DJ Tommy Vance. Invited to the BBC's studios at Maida Vale, in London, to record four tracks for broadcast on Tommy's Friday Rock Show, Demon produced one of the Radio 1 sessions of the year with rousing renditions of 'Full Moon'/'Night of the Demon', 'One Helluva Night', 'Father of Time' and 'Decisions'. As the second single from the album, 'One Helluva Night', was released, Riley and Cook left the band, to be replaced by Chris Ellis and Les Hunt, respectively.
1985–1992
The following release Heart of Our Time (1985) showed that the remaining members of the band were determined to continue, and it was the start of a new songwriting partnership between Hill and Watts. Although the album is regarded as the weakest of the band's releases, it paved the way for the critically acclaimed Breakout (1987) and its follow-up Taking the World by Storm (1989). Demon released two more albums in the 1990s: 1991's Hold On to the Dream and 1992's Blow Out, before splitting up in 1992 which, according to singer and founding member Dave Hill, was because of fatigue.
Reunion (2001–present)
Hill reunited the band with new members in 2001, and released a new album called Spaced Out Monkey. The band has since gone onto release a further three albums: Better the Devil You Know (2005), Unbroken (2012) and their latest release Cemetery Junction, which was released on 28 October 2016.
All of the band's post-reunion releases have received positive reviews from the press, leading the band to go on and play many festivals across Europe - including the Bang Your Head!!! festival and Sweden Rock Festival - but to rarely embark upon full tours. The band toured with Magnum singer Bob Catley in 2005, and in 2018 celebrated the 35th anniversary of The Unexpected Guest by touring the UK, playing all of the songs from the album, plus some other classics.
On March 26, 2024 the band announced a new album: Invincible, to be released May, 17.
2) Demon AKA Jéremie Mondon is a French House producer, who has already left behind him an unusual and promising trail. Though he was influenced by artists from a wide range of disciplines (Kitano, Bukowski), Hip-hop was his first musical love (Mobb Deep). Correspondingly, in the early '90s, while Rap is exploding in France to full effect, he produces an aggressively underground album ("Symbiose"), already beyond classic conventions and inspirations. For Demon, it's the creation of a label, 20000st, that in turn allows him to widen his musical horizons. From November 1997, he produces "A-Typique", his first 5-track EP, ahead of its time, claiming the combined influences of Hip-hop and Funk. This EP experienced an incontestable commercial and media success, the programming of "Lil'Fuck", highlight of this EP, was equally explosive on Radio as on the House scene. April 1998 was marked by the release of Demon's second EP, "Electronic Boogie", as precursory as ever, with its electro edge foreshadowing the present trends. Solid, the famous Parisian label, then chose to bestow on him responsibility of creating Poumtchak #6, following in the footsteps of Dimitri From Paris, Alex Gopher or indeed La Funk Mob. Given rave reviews in numerous magazines (NME, I.D., Magic, Groove Germany) this record achieved as equal a success in France as on the other side of the Channel. After having created remixes for Alex Gopher, Jean-Louis Murat, Mr. Oizo, Etienne De Crécy and a good many others, Demon launched his first LP "Midnight Funk" on february 2000. This LP confirmed the hopes made about the young phenomenon, who is already considered as one of the best artist of the "french touch" movement. Filled with melodic, groundbreaking house sounds, this opus is an end-of-century musical synthesis. "Midnight Funk" blends various styles (Hip-hop, funk, electro) on a trip to an imaginary world where a city resounds with music that is both melancholic and celebratory.
The extraordinary world success of Demon vs. Heartbreaker hit "You Are My High" and its sulphurous video, left us eager to discover Demon's future relases. This totally innovative video, nominated at the "Victoire de la Musique", is the essence of the single and has greatly contributed to give the single a large publicity in the media.
In 2002 Demon is nominated at the MTV Music Europe Awards for the "Best French Act", next to artists such as Manu Chao and Daft Punk. The same year, Demon worked on a new original music project, "Branding", a new album with famous and exclusive remixes, skilfully combining a variety of surprising rhythms. "Branding" is the result of Demon numerous works for various artists who asked him to mix some of their singles, such as Etienne Daho, Bran Van 3000, Benjamin Diamond, Roy Davis Jr., etc...
In 2002, after the release of WUZ, a project he has been working on with Alex Gopher, Demon released his second album "Music That You Wanna Hear".

Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Même si c'est la merde
On trouve toujours un subterfuge
Mets un uppercut sur ces superputes
Même si c'est la merde
On trouve toujours un subterfuge
Mets un uppercut
Endurance de champion
Ils m'ont cru mort, mais des
Ténèbres, j'suis de retour, flow assassin
J'reviens les baiser un par
Un comme De Niro, montre en main
J'ai résisté à l'ignorance
J'ai combattu contre la France
On voulait ma tête au bout d'une lance
Il n'y aura pas d'autres souffrances
Calibre sous la burqa
Ça va péter comme à Raqqa
J'ai vu fuir mon avocat
Faut que j'trouve une planque en Alaska
Le Sheitan fait tout pour me distraire
Faut que je reste lucide
Que je calme mes nerfs
Sinon je vais en tuer un, le monter en l'air
Lui fonce-dé la porte de sa mère
Seul Dieu peut me juger
Trop de péchés à me faire pardonner
Tu pèses que par l'poids d'tes hassanates
Ta destinée est d'jà actée
Y a pas pire que de quitter
Cette Terre sans science ou endetté
Ou sans savoir la vérité
Beaucoup ne pensent qu'à profiter
Hanté par mes démons la nuit
J'suis confronté à leur
Le principal, c'est de rester en liberté
En bonne santé
Je suis rusé comme un renard de l'Est
Tu vas me sucer avec ton regard de braise
Tonnerre de Brest, j'suis en colère
J'te baise quand on me verse deux verres
Même les obèses me plaisent
Y a que devant Dieu que je me prosterne
Et surtout pas devant un poster
Je fume que les épices à Prosper
Puis j'arrive avec des grosses cernes
Mauvais garçon drogué
Je te baise même sur une jambe
Dans ton salon de beauté
Je fourre des foutues juments
J'me suis mal comporté
Bientôt l'heure du jugement, grand
On sera convoqué les cadavres vont sauter
Tous tes gars sont choqués
Je crache des flammes comme le
Putain de dragon doré
Ou le dragon de Moro, mec
Je suis pas ton poto
Car je sais très bien que
Sur moi t'as comploté
Les dés et les bites sont pipés
On baisera quand tes parents iront dîner
Ce soir je sors couvert, j'ai mis mon gilet
Pédé de flic
Mets le dans ton cul ton sifflet
Dans ta chatte: je fais une soufflette
Oui, t'es tout stone comme Whitney Houston
Regardez tous ces bouffons
Bouffent mes roustons nique l'Amerloque
J'flotte sur la mer Morte
Faut de la naie-mo pour mes mômes
J'ai le signe euro pour mémo
Balle dans la tête négro fait belek
Y a pas de tête-à-tête
La rue t'encule direct, salam aleykoum
C'est la récidive, tu connais le récit
Si tu savais ce que j'avais dans la tête
T'aurais pas fait l'imbécile
Je fais pas la lessive
Je lave mon linge en famille
T'as fait ton fou, tu t'excuses après ça
C'est pas la folie
Vas te faire enculer, faut assumer
Ils sont pas crédibles comme un fumeur
De doré qui sait pas rouler
Ils vont tous couler ils m'ont tous saoulé
Vaffanculo, j'encule à sec, au culot
Ils vont reculer
Bats les couilles de leur places, de
Leurs buzz, à la base, nous on les baise
C'est pas eux qui paient le loyer
C'est pas eux qui mettent le fils à l'aise
À peine réveillée, elle veut sa levrette
Popaul levé, il me faut des lovés
Le tout en vitesse oK l'ami, tu connais la
Magie, j'ai commencé, c'est fini
OK l'ami, tu me connais la magie
Y a pas de feat sans feeling
Cartel Records pupupupupupupupupupute
Même si c'est la merde
On trouve toujours un subterfuge
Mets un uppercut sur ces superputes
Même si c'est la merde
On trouve toujours un subterfuge
Mets un uppercut
The song "Streets" by French rapper Demon addresses themes of self-confidence, perseverance, and defiance against adversities. The lyrics reflect the artist's determination to succeed and overcome obstacles, even when faced with opposition and discrimination. The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "On trouve toujours un subterfuge" (We always find a trick), suggests that one must be resourceful and adaptable in order to thrive in difficult circumstances.
The first verse of the song emphasizes the artist's tenacity and resilience, describing himself as an endurance champion who has fought against ignorance and oppression. He also alludes to the challenges of being a Muslim in France, as he mentions the possibility of being targeted for violence due to his religion. However, he asserts that he will not be broken, and plans to find refuge in Alaska if necessary. The second verse is more confrontational, with the artist boasting about his sexual exploits and insulting his enemies. However, he also acknowledges the inevitability of judgment and reckoning, and warns others to take responsibility for their actions. The overall message of the song is one of strength in the face of adversity, and a refusal to be defeated or silenced.
