SHOGUN 8.0 IS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF CINEMATIC COMPOSITIONS THAT EXIST AS AN HOMAGE TO THE DRAMATIC PIECES THAT INFLUENCED NKRIOT BOTH MUSICALLY AND CULTURALLY.
“CREATING SHOGUN 8.0 WAS MY ODE TO THE FUTURE FALLEN SOLDIER OR UNSUNG HERO IN ALL OF US. TAKING WHAT WE FEAR THE MOST AND USING IT AS FUEL TO DRIVE US TO A MOUNTAIN OF COURAGE. AND NEVER FORGETTING THROUGH OUR STRUGGLE WE LEAD A PATHWAY”
“SHOGUN 8.0” -- ARRIVING IN STORES ONLINE FRIDAY APRIL 13TH IS THE FIRST SINGLE TO BE RELEASED FROM THE ULTIMATELY CLIMACTIC EP, WHICH CAN BE EASILY DEFINED AS A NEW PHASE IN THE ALL LIVE ELECTRONIC ARTIST’S CATALOG. TRUE TO HIS DEFINITIVATE EFFORTS TO REINVENT HIMSELF THROUGH CONSTANT INNOVATION, THE ADVANTAGEOUS NK ARTISTICALLY WEAVES A SOUND MORE OF A RONIN, THAN SHOGUN IN THE SINGLE, AS AN ELECTRONIC VAGABOND.
COMPOSED ENTIRELY BY NKRIOT AND RECORDED IN HIS BOYLE HEIGHTS STUDIO, SHOGUN 8.0 HOLDS EVERY KEY COMPONENT THAT IS OF THE ELECTRO-ALT-PUNK DEFINITION; GOJI. TO TRANSCEND FURTHER THE CINEMATIC ESSENCE OF THE SHOGUN 8.0.
