Scandroid - Thriller (Official Lyric Video)

Purchase/Stream 'Monochrome'
fanlink.to/monochrome
Released just in time for the Halloween season, the lyric video for Scandroid's cover of "Thriller" pays homage to the original Michael Jackson music video, featuring shots of robotic zombies and werewolves performing "Thriller's" classic dance moves.
"I knew when I started the album (Monochrome) that I wanted to do a Halloween-related track. It only took me 1/4 of a second to conclude this would be my perfect chance to cover a track I loved during the 80s. I probably watched the 'Thriller' music video 100+ times on my parents VCR after I recorded it from MTV." - Klayton
"Thriller" appears on Scandroid's upcoming sophomore album Monochrome, available October 27th, 2017.
Scandroid returns with the full-length sophomore album Monochrome, available Friday, October 27th. Featuring 13 tracks, from the retro-synth pop hooks of "Afterglow," "Rendezvous," "Future Bloodline," and "A Thousand Years," to the instrumental epics "Oblivia" and "Searching For a Lost Horizon," Monochrome imagines an alternate future where truth is hidden in "Monochrome."
The album includes modern synthwave covers of John Williams’ famous Star Wars opus "The Force Theme" as well as a hauntingly powerful cover of Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" to be released on Friday the 13th of October. The album concludes with a bonus remix of "Thriller" from mysterious synthwave artist/producer PYLOT.
Following the international success of the debut Scandroid album (Top 10 iTunes Electronic Album USA, Russia, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Australia & #5 Billboard Electronic Album), Monochrome continues the journey of ‘Red’ & ‘Aphelion’ in a cyberpunk storyline set in Neo-Tokyo in the year 2518.
"...in a world of color, I see in Monochrome."

Little do people know that the robots actually moved like that. When they built the robots for this video, they actually started to move on their own, as if they were possessed by Michael Jackson's ghost. They took advantage of it and started recording, that's how we got this awesome music video.

Takes a lot of guts and confidence to do any song by MJ. Good job.

Omg, this is goosebumps central. I'm sure if Jackson was still with us, he'd commend Klayton for this chilling/funky cover, and its ability to evoke the same emotions the timeless gem gave us all :D
Your Vincent Price was on point. Great job Klay, Robozombies and MJ, nothing gets better.

This song is SO COOL!
Michael. You are a legend.
Omg Klayton, you never cease to amaze me, when I already consider you my most favourite musician ever. I'm even getting BIONICLE vibes from the video!

Perfect. This could bring MJ back to life.
Being a big fan of Michael Jackson as well as Klayton, this is bringing tears to my eyes because it's the best cover song of Jackson I have heard in years, no other artist has seemed to capture the soul of his songs before. If Michael Jackson were alive, I think he would've loved this
My God. What a beautiful sight.
I first heard this on LobroWatch's Twitch stream and I'm obsessed with this version!
Best Thriller cover I've heard
Dancing werewolf robots!? Perfect! Also, this cover was done so well. I love Klayton's work. He's a true musical genius that is always enjoyable to listen to on so many levels.
Originally, I was on edge about whether or not I'd like this. . . Why do I even bother doubting Klayton anymore. He's a damn god.
I CAAN'T WAIIIT to BUMP THIS ON MY CAR STEREO!
Dude, Scandroid, you have the best synthwave music. 20/10. I started with your Star Wars Force Theme, and all your music is impressive! I hope you become super famous!

One thing I've always criticized cover music on youtube for is creating covers that are not properly adapted using the musician's personal style. This is definitely not one of those cases. Klayton, dude, you nailed it just right and perfect! My mind was blown!
Klayton covering MJ's singing mannerisms is so fucking good.
You had me at Thriller, but totally sold me at the dancing robots. This is AMAZING!!
We need a t-shirt or something featuring that wolf-borg!
