![]() ![]() The seven-minute video is replete with a two-minute cinema introduction, similar to those first popularized by Michael Jackson. The San Francisco Moto video is a creative blend of 1980s cell animation popular on Saturday morning cartoons, early CGI, and pure retro style. It’s a fusion of funk and high octaves that, once again, I can’t recall hearing elsewhere. At the same time, synth beats are complimenting the track. All this is happening while funky bass lines, high pitched lyrics, and solos, both guitar and bass are jamming. We got some exaggerated B-Movie fight scenes, a Delorean highway chase, and the classic fire tracks of time travel that are left behind after Razor hits 88 miles per hour. It’s a cyberpunk style bar filled with punks good and bad, a motorcycle gang, and Rex Razor. The King of 1984 is the first music video by Thrillkiller. Therefore, the success of these videos is owed to a growing partnership the band seeks with fellow music and video lovers. ![]() The production was fully fan-sourced by Kickstarter campaigns. These two videos, in addition to being a stylish throwback to cult classic films and cartoons like TRON, Back to the Future, Videodrome, Thundercats, Voltron, He-Man and more, were also crowd-funded. Thrillkiller produced two cinematic Cyberpunk/Sci-Fi music videos for tracks, San Francisco Moto and King of 1984, to really bring the album to life. Theme of Rex Razor, the most synth track on the EP opens up the album, really setting the aesthetic. It’s a cult classic Sci-Fi plot and the aesthetic is captured perfectly by the album. Razor is chasing down a chronotech hacker named Moto, who is alleged to be part of a gang run by rogue time cop Sebastian Snyde. #Timecop 1983 lovers lyrics fullBest heard as a full package, “San Francisco Moto” is a mini sci-fi pulp, following the trials and tribulations of Rex Razor: Time Cop. Fresh off their hit album “Showdown”, the upcoming EP “San Francisco Moto” is a continuation and a refinement of their work, while also being a huge evolutionary step for the group. The Baltimore-based band started by vocalist Rob Bradley (Aries and Visionary) and guitarist Maxim Sobchenko is now a five piece group with the addition of bassist Sebastian Ochoa, co-lead guitarist Derrin Ruschell, and drummer Daniel Tipton. Every song shreds, screams, and delivers. More importantly though, these guys kill it. Stylish and perhaps glamorous in the vein of Judas Priest and James Dio? Hell Yes. Every track is filled with screeching melodies, killer riffs, and epic solos. Styles previously considered opposite one another are seamlessly fused to produce a soundtrack for past, present, and future endeavors. Thrillkiller also forges a new legacy, creating a truly undefinable fusion of sound, which defies borders and rejects convention. So many sounds from the golden age of guitar solos and high pitched vocals are resurrected, paying homage to the greatest musicians of the 1970s and 80s. Blending elements from synthwave, funk, power metal, glam metal, pop, and a range of rock styles Thrillkiller is both the past and future of music and video. Thrillkiller is a band which proves that time, at least in the world of music, does not go in a straight line. ![]()
