The new song “Umbrella Unit” by Malak Shalom, better known by his stage name Shavirus, is a powerful and thought-provoking experience. The song dives deep into a dystopian world, mixing emo trap vibes, haunting guitar melodies, and tight bass lines to paint a chilling picture of societal collapse.
Lyrically, “Umbrella Unit” depicts a world engulfed in violence, corruption, and hopelessness; it’s a zombie apocalypse of humanity, where greed and manipulation cause hope to wane. Shavirus’s criticism of contemporary systems and societal indifference is emphasized in lines referring to “dead people,” “big pharma,” and “false leaders.”
The production’s music, which combines dark trap beats with an emotional edge, is notable for its catchy flow and strong emotional energy. Shavirus’s performance is captivating, both unvarnished and purposeful, drawing audiences into his chaotic world and provoking thought about the state of the world today.
Shavirus proves himself as an artist who isn’t scared to take on difficult subjects with “Umbrella Unit,” fusing poignant narrative with contemporary trap production that has a powerful aural and thematic impact.
