Thank you to everyone who has bought Aria's Ascent! This is but only the first track on my latest 28 song full length album of over an hour of music METALized from the amazing new indie rhythm game, Crypt of the Necrodancer.

This is song in particular counts as a 'medley' of sorts. You can hear elements of every level theme for Zones 1, 3, and 4 in this mashup. If you want to hear what I did with Zone 2, check out the last song on the album!

Lyrics:

The cries
Of the one's that follow echo through the halls
Of the crypt walls

Can you now
Find the path through the dark and the mighty ones who dwell
in this dark hell

I'll tear your apart while you're dancing to the beating of your heart

You know you will never make it out alive
Your heart will keep racing but family can't survive

And every beat belongs to me
the Necrodancer

Pain
is the fate that follows you inside my halls
in the crypt walls

Will you fall
up against all the mighty ones I've brought from death
To take your breath

So steel your composure the time has to come to flee the crypt or

Dance as if death would match your steps
For now all depends on if you don't fall too far behind
for I will draw in and
I will put an end to the rhythm
of your heart so now dance for your life

Dance for your life
Dance for your life
You cannot hope to find your way on through
this labyrinth so

Dance
Not cuz you want to
I've taken control
of this whole army
Fight
Because your family is trapped by me and
You cannot not escape
or find refuge
Here, your beating heart controls your chance to
Find the ones you've come to save
see if you can find yourself
Inside my crypt of walking death, you will die
and join them if you can't survive and
Dance for your Life

Dance for me you're never free
So Dance
So Dance
So Dance for your
Life

[RichaadEB]

im suing you for a prolapsed everything. seriously, that was fucking immaculate. The video really brought out the intensity of this track so much. excellent work, boys!

[ToxicxEternity]

As far as things I've gotten to be a part of goes, this is beyond the stratosphere of the coolest. Thanks for having me Jules and J-Yo! \m/

[labo]

FamilyJules's face at 1:49 until 1:51 is just pure gold.
Especially at 1:51.
He's like "Hey, look my awesome guitar skills.".

[Dancing_Anatolia]

I can just imagine a Disney movie of Crypt of the Necrodancer (except not really, since all game movies suck) where the Necrodancer sings this. And it's awesome.

[davidserback]

Now I really wanna hear Jonathan yell "REANIMATE!"

[CoolSaver]

Criminally underrated, such an amazing and high-octane song.

We're making out of the Crypt with this one 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️

[RoPanuganti]

I'm just sitting in a puddle right now, you really outdid yourself Jules with the amazing medley and mixture AND lyrics, and Jon and Texas you guys haunt me forever. Much love for the musical highlight of my year so far!

[DanTheMann]

After playing this game for only a few hours, I can't help but head bang to every song.

[TwilitBeholder]

I. CAN'T. STOP. LISTENING. TO. THIS.

[MarkDarc]

This was amazing. Dood, whoever was the "videographer" or in charge of "cinematography" or directing....Please give them a high-five and a pat on the back because it gelled everything together. Plus, Jonathan's dilated pupils...talk about intense. And even though I read on the track listing that ToxicEternity did the screaming vocals, it didn't occur to me who it was!
Bravo guys, excellent job!

[Velcraft]

At first I thought "well, it's kind of samey", but soon I realised it was actually really good, and closer to the end every hair on my neck stood on end like never before! Truly awesome, thank you guys!

[NonNewtoadian]

Jonathan's voice is so unique and toxics Voice goes really well with it

[Crystalvampire]

Seriously love this song. I can't get enough of Jon's evil laugh. :)

[IslarfPokemon]

I'd love to hear this redone with Nicolas Daost doing the shopkeeper parts

[thatgamingauthor]

Why have I never watched this before? This is freaking awesome!

[Never_heart]

Please do another collab your guitar style meshes so well with the heavy dark tones of Young

[aitanathefangirl]

And it took me this long to find this why????
Holy frick, Jules!! You've outdone yourself!

[XenotheWise]

This is criminally underviewed, I swear.

[dragonblade]

LMAO the shopkeeper made this all too perfect. That being said I bought this album a few months back before actually playing the game. Amazing. :D

[xXepicwolfXx]

Your necrodancer album is the gift that keeps giving :D
