ShockOne returns with “Run,” featuring The Bloody Beetroots, the premier single from his highly anticipated second studio album. He has been quiet on the LP front since the 2013’s release of his critically acclaimed “Universus” album, but the new track proves that ShockOne has only sharpened his production prowess with time. From the moment that “Run” opens with undulating, cinematic synths with hints of heavy metal, you know you’re in for a wild ride; the drop delivers driving basslines and ominous vocal clips, building a dystopian atmosphere that is depicted in stunning visuals in its accompanying music video. This tune marks the debut of ShockOne on Monstercat imprint.
“I couldn’t be happier to join the Monstercat roster. It’s a brand known for pushing boundaries and a label releasing some of the most forward-thinking releases for my genre of music. It really is the perfect home for A Dark Machine and excited to have them work this record to every corner of the world alongside my long term home label Warner Music.”
Watch the “Run” music video as ShockOne unfurls complex and creepily poignant footage, hinting that sometimes the darkest parts of ourselves are more frightening than anything in the outside world.
After listening to “Run” we have no doubt that “A Dark Machine” will introduce us to a ShockOne who is bigger, better, stronger than ever before. Keep an eye out for the full release of “A Dark Machine” LP on August 01 on Monstercat, for which ShockOne draws inspiration from the soundtracks of producers like Giorgio Moroder, Vangelis and the scores to old school slasher flicks from John Carpenter.
