New Cyberpunk 2077 Track — Never Fade Away by SAMURAI (Refused)
- Thread starter dex3108

Doesn't the "refused" in the title imply that it will NOT be part of the soundtrack in the final game?
It's the name of the real band who wrote the song.
It's the name of the real life band who performed this and the last song.
Samurai is the name of the in-game band this song is supposed to be by, Refused is the name of the real band who actually made the song.
It's fine... not awful by any means but it's kind of just... there and doesn't do much, not to mention the production and mixing is messtastic. I like that their mixing more genres in than just synthwavey stuff even though I like that. I would prefer something more rock-electropop-ish like RedHook/Crashing Atlas/Fifth Dawn rather than milquetoast punk.
i really hope we get a custom radio station like in the gta pc version
I'm sure there will be multiple genres. They've only released 2 songs from Johnny Silverhand's band.
I liked most of it so far (Bullet, Hyper, their first and now canned version of Chipping in, etc).
This one and Chipping in 2.0... Definitely not a fan.
Well, at least it's not rap.
This track is from the in-game band Samurai, with front man Johnny Silverhand.
Johnny Silverhand is a rockerboy. This is his style of music.
They're basically releasing real-life music of a band that appears in Cyberpunk 2020 and the game.
I expect some heavy inspiration around 80s/90s electro-industrial sounds, and also cheesy italo/german neo-disco because that music was contemporary and (even distantly) inspired by the cyberpunk movement. At least more than neo-classic hard-rock or snythwave, but why not, the game is going to be long with many radios to listen while driving. Tracklist and soundtrack are two different things.

Not that bad. But I want more of the game's score and more bizarre over-the-top dark electro songs.
If they do include rap I could totally see something along the lines of CLIPPING's "Nothing is Safe".
May not be "cyberpunk" but neither is this, despite being by a punk band it lacks any real punk.
Or even some rock electro pop with some elements of rap like RedHook.

Isnt that just his actual accent? Not like he's putting it on
You say that but this track actually sounds like it's straight from the early 2000s...
That sounds dope!
That's what it would have sounded like if Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda were replaced with a woman.
I don't hate it.
Much like the first one, it's not terrible just a little underwhelming.
Refused vocals have worked pretty well with electronica in the past
