Background
On March 12, 2009, Entity Paradigm announced its official return by performing for first time in over four years. The performance was held at LUMS and was attended by an enthusiastic audience. Without Xulfi and Sajjad A. Khan, the current formation of the band includes Fawad Khan on rhythm guitar and vocals, and Ahmed Ali Butt on keyboards and vocals, Hassan Khalid on bass, Salman Albert on lead guitars, and Waqar Khan on drums. Unfortunately, the reunion did not make big news in the press and media.
Shortly after their reunion they went on performing in Karachi at Ramada Hotel on May 1, 2009[5] where the band debut their new song "Shor Macha".[6] They also announced that their second album will be released in December, 2010.

Music video
The main concept and theme of the video is very eye catching and activating. The plot of the video wheels around highlighting the current problems and dilemmas confronted by Pakistan and later in the video the focus deflects on the past glorious accomplishments. Through the lyrics the message about a safer and stable future is given towards the end. The video unfolds with the images from deserted streets of the inner Lahore and disappointed faces of the children and young men. The starting part is very captivating and unique in its own way. The nation is being asked to get up from the deep slumber, voice their feelings, show some enthusiasm, change their thoughts and do something on their own. Meanwhile, all the band members are seen during the starting phase. The video initially shows EP performing in a digitally created stadium concert; which again is a message of hope, that someday somehow Pakistan would likely have huge gatherings like this without any alarms.
The video is shot on various locations from Pakistan;
The video of the single "Shor Macha" is directed by one of the most awards winning directors of Pakistan, Bilal Lashari, who has previously come up with sterling music video concepts as well. Wardrobe and styling by Munib Nawaz and make up is given by Mahram Azmat, who are very popular in the Pakistani fashion industry. Moreover, the production of the video is done by Creative Village.
