Music video[edit]
An MTV report on the "Demons" music video stated that it would "fit nicely with the artful imagery of 'It's Time' and the thoroughly out-there puppet grappling of 'Radioactive'."[5] Released on May 7, 2013 and shot in Las Vegas, Nevada at the band's performance at The Joint on February 9, 2013, the video features a mix of live footage of the band and a companion narrative.[3] Various characters with personal hardships are depicted, including a victim of parental abuse, a military veteran, and an anorexic man who stares at himself in a mirror.[3] The clip ends with a dedication to Tyler Robinson, a fan of the band who died at the age of 17 in March 2013 ( 1995-2013) following a battle with cancer.[3]
