STREAM: SHOGUN – ‘NEZUKO’
Kicking into high gear with a pulsating rhythm, ‘Nezuko’ immediately infiltrates eardrums, injecting a commanding soundscape. The entrancing opus serves a transcendent ambiance, setting the atmosphere with twinkling synth manipulation. Serving a palpably raw tension, the track builds up to a pulse-raising, oscillating intensity. The intoxicating amalgam of sonic highs and lows showcases Shogun’s expertly-crafted production style, providing an exciting precedent as for what fans and listeners alike can expect from him moving into the second half of the year.
“The main story of Demon Slayer deals with the main character Tanjiro and his relationship with Nezuko, his sister. It’s about 2 people looking out for each other, surviving, and going up against all odds, but in the end, they prevail. It’s a very emotional story and I wanted to capture this feeling in the track. ”
