VIDEO: Sabbath – “Deacon”

Sabbath is back in the booth and back in front of the camera, dropping the official music video for his new single “Deacon,” presented by the Run Along Forever collective. If the name rings a bell, you’ve probably caught Sabbath on streaming pages tied to Run Along Forever’s growing catalog of indie releases — the kind of under-the-radar drops that quietly stack up plays before the algorithm wakes up and notices.

“Deacon” leans into everything fans have come to expect from the Sabbath / Run Along Forever camp: a moody, hypnotic atmosphere, sharp pen work, and visuals that feel pulled straight from a late-night drive playlist. The official music video, directed and rolled out under the Run Along Forever banner, gives the track the kind of grainy, cinematic treatment that pairs perfectly with Sabbath’s understated delivery — no over-the-top theatrics, just vibe, presence, and intent.

What makes this rollout interesting is the context. Sabbath has been steadily building a discography across platforms like Apple Music, SoundCloud, Audiomack, and Shazam, often in tandem with Run Along Forever collaborators. Recent singles like “Wobble” hinted that a bigger run was coming, and “Deacon” feels like the next step up — a record that’s confident enough to anchor a full visual rollout rather than just live as a streaming-only loosie.

For listeners who like their hip-hop closer to the underground end of the dial — where the production breathes, the bars do the work, and the visuals don’t try too hard — “Deacon” is worth the four minutes. And if Sabbath keeps this pace up, “indie favorite” probably isn’t going to fit on the résumé much longer.
