2XKO “Let’s Go” Main Theme collaboration with

I’ve been lowkey over-power mode containing the lil’-shredder-that-could version of Jesse and his excitement since it was first mentioned to me that Polyphia agreed to take on this track together.  I have no idea why I referred to myself like that just now, but go with it...

I’m truly honored to have collaborated with Polyphia on “Let’s Go”, the Main Theme for Riot Games fighting game 2XKO!

As someone deeply rooted in the metal & guitar world for over 23 years (and now game audio & dev), it’s so inspiring to hear each member of Polyphia’s unique musical voice with the storytelling and energy that fighting games demand.

TRUST

Back when I first started writing the track, our team mentioned wanting to emphasize the feeling of “trust “, focusing on the tug-of-war that goes on when building rapport with unfamiliar minds in order to win. In true 2XKO fashion, we really came together to set the vibe of the game off on the right foot. Composing this theme was about more than just writing music, it was about creating a sound that resonates with 2XKO players, that captures the soul of the FGC’s incredible history of music & games, and feels authentically tied to the characters and world of Runeterra and beyond.

FUTURE

I hope the gaming community is blessed with more work from the Polyphia gang in the future - I love seeing artists from the band industry crossing over into our incredible world. This is exactly where I come from, and I feel like a proud cousin at a family reunion when I see more of us doing what we do best for people equally passionate about their artforms.

Thank you to the Polyphia crew, and here’s to many more!
