One moves at a normal pace, and the other, who may well be a demonic replicant &#8211; moves at an alarming pace. It&#8217;s hard to say what the relationship is between the pair; friends or foes? Working towards an amicable partnership, or will one destroy the other?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The song starts with an industrial thumping, and moves on towards an atmospheric bridge, before exploding into the hard rock chorus. Even without the video it&#8217;s a great listen and a wild sensory ride. The clip is gory and spectacular, and should come as no surprise, considering director Robyn August specialises in unique horror stories, such as his 2017 film, &#8216;Doggy See Evil&#8217;, which saw a dog pitted against a sinister phantom. August knows his way around music videos as well, he&#8217;s been the frontman for LA band, Rival Tides. We see the twin SHIMs faced with the problem of what to do with a body in a sack. They head off to the graveyard, and one begins to dig &#8211; while the other has a lethal surprise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about SHIM online on his <a href=\"http:\/\/shimmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/shimonmooreofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.
