Kemböle:
"Roope played some drums with me last FAWM so I wanted to do something with him this year too. Out of the dark Roope sent me a drum track and told me to compose something on it. I came up with the guitars and the bass, Henri sang and wrote the lyrics, Riki Sorsan veli played a guitar solo. Only chopped a extra part to fit the long guitar solo, otherwise its all there from the original drum track. Odd time signatures and all. Thanks everyone, I'm so happy to make music with such talented folk!"

HMorg:
The first time I took a listen to what Kemböle and Roope had done so far, I happened to be watching the Twitch streamer dinossindgeil's stream, where he was in the middle of a challenge run called God Run 3 SL1 (that's 7 From Software games hitless on level 1 in a row, he finished the run the next day after nearly 2 years of tries) and was in the home stretch of Dark Souls 2. As Roope was counting in the song with his sticks, dinos finished the game and yelled out jubilantly, which sounded like "click click DARK SOULS TWOOOOOOOOOO!" And that gave me an idea. Was it a good idea? Perhaps not, but it kinda worked. For anyone uninitiated, the places and characters named in the lyrics are very early game.

Drums: Roope Puumalainen
Guitars and Bass: Lukas Pearsall @kembole
Vocals and lyrics: Henri Harell @hmorg
Guitar solo: Riki Sorsan Veli (guess who?)

Lyrics

It is my day off
And I'm ready for some good gaming
Load up a classic
From 2014
Then fall into a pit before
The character creator
I've made a huge mistake
I've chosen to play Dark Souls 2

Make my way to Majula
Say hi to the Emerald Herald
Snoop around a bit
Get eaten by some pigs
Fall into the hole
In the middle of town
Then accidentally join
The covenant of champions

Dead angles
On the controller
Incredibly janky
And doesn't look too good to boot
Hitboxes
Not where they're supposed to be
They drain the life from me
And again the screen says "you died"

I've finally reached
The forest of fallen giants
I'm on a roll it seems
The enemies fall before me
But then I get hit
And hit and hit again
And I realize
I didn't level adaptability

You died.
