Cyberpunk 2077 — Archangel by SAMURAI (Refused)

the desire to destroy
to disrupt to lose control
to rebuild and then
to tear it down again

bend it backwards until it breaks
capacitors roaring inside my brain
agent of chaos and discontent
I’m gonna take out the corporate man

Start the fire
Start the fire

come join the dance of destruction
violence sweet as a kiss
set it off and it will never stop
come join the dance of destruction
violence sweet as a kiss
set it off and it will never stop
and it will never stop

tear at the fabric rip in the norm
destructive architect with somewhere to go
i’ll rip right through your sheepish herd
feed insurrection to this broken world
i’m a lawless outcast always on the run
I’ll challenge everything I’ve just begun to

start the riot
start the riot

the desire to destroy
to disrupt to lose control
to rebuild and then
to tear it down again

come join the dance of destruction
violence sweet as a kiss
set it off and it will never stop
come join the dance of destruction
violence sweet as a kiss
set it off and it will never stop
come join the dance of destruction
violence sweet as a kiss
set it off and it will never stop
come join the dance of destruction
violence sweet as a kiss
set it off and it will never stop

and it will never stop

I absolutely love how the lore for this song is something SAMURAI whipped up on the spot to start a riot. 100% true to punk rocker fashion.

[TheKindredblades]

I would absolutely buy a Samurai album if it came out to a local record store. Great song!

[LordPokeTheFirst]

Best bug this game ever had was playing this on repeat for the entirety of a mission. So fucking good to hear the full version in earnest after all this time.

[Frosty-yyoq]

As a guitarist, these riffs are amazing to play.

Edit: Also fun fact, when V plays Archangel in game, the fingering is actually correct (must be in Drop D)

[TheCrimsonFckr]

Jesus Christ, I cannot stress enough how we need more Refused Samurai.

[skullofmorgan]

I clicked it literally immediately, nice job, SAMURAI!

[ExtremeGamingHDD]

*HELL YEAH! I wish there was a whole LP album of this fictional but legendary band...*

[Bassemasattar]

I’ve had this riff on repeat on a mission haha it never stopped.

[randomstuffofgamingrg]

I absolutely fucking love Cyberpunks soundtrack, now the game is fixing up pretty well now. Time for a second playthrough!! This song, black dog and never fade away are my favourites

[Spelonker]

When your gf dies tragically BUT YOU CAN'T STOP ROCKIN' YEHAH! \m/

[eurobeatbandit]

We were waiting for this one for more than a year.

[dblundz]

Never Fade Away still F's me up,
once you learn the context....

"Trade it all for your sweet embrace”
“A thing of beauty, I know”

[NikolaCebic]

Pure epicness, finally the full version is here.

[Sigmar_Heldenhammer]

HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, IT'S HAPPENED, EVERYONE STAY CALM.

they actually released Archangel....

This is awesome.

[zensan]

"to rebuild, and then...
to tear it down again."
something about these lines hit some deep valuable pathways of neurons, it makes my hair stand on end

[marcool]

Finally. This and never fade away are my favorite samurai songs

[ynRage]

OMG! I can't believe it, I've waited so long for you to release this sound completely! Thanks!

[ajtheva]
