Right so yesterday I got this question from a commenter asking what Dean Blunt’s “demon” actually means. Like is it about evil spirits? Drugs? Just some dark arts crap? Said fuck it, let’s dig for real answers.
Started With YouTube & Spotify Like Everybody Else
Opened Spotify first, shoved “Dean Blunt demon” into the search. Played that track “Demon”. Sounds like… muffled guitars, distorted vocals repeating “demon, demon”, maybe some whispering? Couldn’t make out a damn word. Lyrics sites were useless – just shrugged with “lyrics not found”. Dead end already. Jumped over to YouTube. Found the official upload for “Demon”. Same mess. Comments full of people saying “this is deep bro” or “he’s summoning something” but zero actual explanations. Some weird animated videos slapped the song on too – all occult symbols and dark figures. Felt more like fan art than clues.
Dove Into The Weird Forums & Blogs
Googled harder. Typed “Dean Blunt demon meaning reddit”. Found threads in experimental music subs. People comparing it to “anti-pop” or “artistic nihilism”. Whatever that means. Saw posts calling him a “performance artist” messing with his audience. One dude linked an old blog rant Blunt supposedly wrote ages ago about media manipulation. Checked it out. Site looked like GeoCities threw up. Found phrases like “the demon is the public eye” and “feeding the beast” between curse words and rambling. Couldn’t tell if he meant it or was trolling. Someone else mentioned an interview snippet where he dodged the question entirely and insulted the interviewer. Classic Dean.
Hit The Brick Wall (& His Weird Label)
Looked up recent interviews. Nothing new about “Demon” specifically. All he ever says is “it’s just music, innit” with that bored stare. Dead eyes. Not helpful. Tried World Music, his label. Their site is one black page with outdated tour dates. No press kit. No explanations. Emailed them asking for context? Radio silence obviously. Then remembered one user claiming he leaked an unreleased demo called “Banishing Ritual” years ago via a defunct SoundCloud link. Found archived forum posts freaking out about it. Track was gone. Wayback Machine couldn’t grab it either. Probably vanished or never existed.
Ended Up With More Questions
Sat back. Scratched my head. Realized chasing a single word meaning with Dean Blunt is useless. He builds whole personas on mystery and pissing people off. The music itself? It sounds like a broken radio broadcasting static… maybe that is the point? Like it’s not a demon to define, it’s the feeling of something dark and nameless. Or maybe I wasted two hours. Both? Probably both. Left a comment saying “Dunno mate, probably just him messing with us again.” Case closed… for now. He wins. Again. Whatever.
