- Essenger and Scandroid join forces in a formidable arsenal of vocoder and rock guitar. Reminiscent of early 80s synth pop with a modern cyberpunk edge, Empire of Steel explores the exploitation of AI by a dystopian mega-corporation. Could merging with the machines be the key to restoring balance?
"Empire of Steel" is the final single released in advance of Essenger’s highly-anticipated new album, After Dark. The new song is available as an instant-grat for fans who purchase the full album, and it’s out on all major streaming platforms now from independent synthwave label FiXT Neon

Found this from Indigo Gaming's Cyberpunk documentary.
same here =D
Same!
This got recommended to me rignt after I saw tne documentary
Same
Same here, great music for a great documentary
*"You won't automate our roles if we digitize our souls"* 🎶 🫵😤
Both very cyberpunk in theme, but also very smooth and groovy! Loving this project.
Yo, you make awesome documentals.
it's kinda like industrial metal
Thank you for showing me that this song existed
@@Vermbraunt Glad others are getting to experience it!
@@Indigo_Gaming same over here mate thanks.
MaSu sent me, I have to say, "Yo, this song is pretty good..."
That line about “automate our roles if we digitize our souls” …. Ssooooo good.
The irony being that “they” want us digitizing our souls. Much easier to control 😉
I’m pretty sure the line is “you won’t ordinate our roles, if we digitize…”” ordinate meaning coordinate
I know!
@@mcren6781 It's automate matey
@@mcren6781No definitely automate.
Essenger: Wait, it's Cyberpunk?
Scandroid: *A l w a y s h a s b e e n*
😂❤
"It's Cyberpunk?"
"So's your whole damn reality, pal."
In Bryce we Thrust
The rebirth of Donavan
Why does it seem like this is 2024s themesong with all the A.i stuff going on? That "automate our roles if we digitize our souls" line hits so hard. I think in the near future, that's probably going to be what we'll have to do to keep up, digitize ourselves.
bro the song is about refusing being made into a human machine, listen to the lyrics, they are saying they refuse to digitize their soles, no enterprise on earth will make us kneel to your empire of steel
WE're still a long way from anything like that, though I'd imagine there's probably going to be a workforce uprising in the decades to come since corpos have been abusing their positions for too many decades . . . and they should know the bill is coming for them. I mean, look at the constitution . . . few if any constitutional laws with regards to businesses and corporations. They keep up their bullshit, there's going to be.
Both the ai and the ever-growing evil of the corporations. It's becoming a prophecy.
If Scandroid has absolutely no appearance what so ever in Cyberpunk 2077 I'm fighting someone.
What are you going to do samurai?
Fight me
@@Zninety burn the world down to cinders
@@Asheriancommand Now there is the kind of reply I was seeking.
I hope CP77 will have more syntwave and industrial music there.
*History of Cyberpunk in the 90s*
well this got stuck in my head for about 2 days. Thanks to Bryce Episode 2 no less.
same
SAMEEEE
This song actually fits CP2077's story perfectly. All the stuff with Johnny, his anti-Arasaka fight, his (literally) digitized soul. Would've been great if they included ANY Scandroid song, but if I could've picked just one, Empire of Steel would've been it. Fits the theme of the game like a glove.
wudv been great if the game devs made things properly
Hopefully we will have mod tools soon so we can add music to radios. I have an entire catalogue of Cyberpunk themed music I have been collecting for years that would be perfect for the game lol.
Помимо пары хороших треков в игре вся музыка была крайне однообразна и скучна. Треки на подобие этого были бы уместны в CP77.
Apart from a couple of good tracks in the game all the music was extremely monotonous and boring. Tracks like this would have been appropriate for CP77.
Gross how true that is
@@altor5438 Exactly.
ESSENGER is a huge blessing to the FixT NEON roster... And standing side by side with Scandroid is beyond amazing
thank uuuu ♡
I agree, I like what I am hearing=)
@@Essenger Thanks for your awesome music, i discovered the title After Dark 1-2 months ago, and now this, keep up the great work. :)
whats that?
0:56 best part
Thanks Bryce Tankthrust
Machinae Supremacy sent me here with their cover of this and I love it.
"My sacrifice will mean her salvation"
found this from Bryce 2
I’m counting down the days
The future feels so distant
A lot of things have changed
And few have been resistant
Devaluation reigns
And fear of self destruction
Adapt or be replaced
And follow their instructions
So lay waste to all we've made
For your corporate palisade
You won't automate our roles
If we digitize our souls
A new force will intervene
Half human, half machine
And no enterprise on earth will make us kneel
To your empire of steel
Recoded we'll reboot
An uprising is moving
And the power you misused
Will soon be your undoing
We’ll give you what you need
Though not quite what you were meaning
And we’ll reap what you have sown
We are the soul of this new machine
So lay waste to all we've made
For your corporate palisade
You won't automate our roles
If we digitize our souls
A new force will intervene
Half human, half machine
And no enterprise on earth will make us kneel
To your empire of steel
Recoded we'll reboot
An uprising is moving
The power you misused
Will soon be your undoing
We’ll give you what you need
Though not quite what you were meaning
And we’ll reap what you have sown
We are the soul of this new machine
So lay waste to all we've made
For your corporate palisade
You won't automate our roles
If we digitize our souls
A new force will intervene
Half human, half machine
And no enterprise on earth will make us kneel
To your empire of steel
To your empire
We’ll give you what you need
(To your empire)
And we’ll reap what you have sown
(To your empire)
So lay waste to all we've made
For your corporate palisade
You won't automate our roles
If we digitize our souls
A new force will intervene
Half human, half machine
And no enterprise on earth will make us kneel
To your empire of steel
To your empire of steel
To your empire of steel
A true hero up there
Thanks
Recoded we'll reboot
an uprising is moving the power you misused
will soon be your undoing

thanks alot ;)
I came here after watching Brandon Rogers' "Bryce Tankthrust" Episode. Love the music by the way💗👌
Same
Same x3
Essenger and Scandroid? Hell yeah 😎
Heard this play in Brandon Rogers' 2nd episode of Bryce when they're building Donovan.
That's also where I heard it
M'aiq wants the future to get here with haste, this one wants to be a cyborg Khajiit and live forever. M'aiq tires of his mortal coil's aches and pains.
Has M'aiq found a caliper yet?
@@JaCoOoOoS M'aiq has found no calipers, but this one has a lifetime's worth of tongs. M'aiq wishes you well.
Here from Bryce episode 2
Bryce took me here. I searched if we digitize our souls song
So youtube randomly put this on a generated play list i listen to at work. definitely going to listen to it some more. It fits an arc of a story I'm working on.
Would like to read it when you finish
@@KaseQueso Going to be a while.
This takes me back to Metru Nui.
We making it out of aqua magna with this one!
I'm really enjoying these Scandroid features. Sometimes I need a break from listening to Scandroid to listen to more Scandroid
I feel ya
I listen to Celldweller and Circle of Dust more, but I like listening to Scandroid from time to time
Basically I take a break from Klayton to listen to more Klayton
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Day by day this Genre is gaining momentum
"Wake the F*** up,Samurai.We got a city to burn."
-Johnny Silverhand.
Cane here from machinae supremacys cover. Fan of scandroid. Have no idea on how i missed this one.
Same here :D
Holy shit same thing. I'm just obsessed with Sconroid, he's absolutely amazing, how I can missed this song???
oh wow I thought it was an original track by Machinae Supremacys lol
Same, both are fantastic.
Im plugging this for cyberpunk 2077s new radio station as their asking for ideas. I want 80s synthwave
I'm from BRYCE: Ep. 2
> You won't automate our roles
> If we digitize our souls
I somehow highly doubtful of that statement.
On a train rn and the train noises are blending with the music highly recommended
Adding Scandroid or Day of The Dead just makes everything great.
Machinae Supremacy brought me here and I'm loving the song and the cover
I absolutely love the artwork here
It's exactly Scandroid and Essenger themselves standing side by side
I've had this on repeat for 3 hours
For 3 months
Anyone else imaging driving through a neon city while listening to this?
Or through a wasteland on your way to said city ; )
@@henderstoned hello fellow nomad.
Run to it at night, perfect.
Count me in.
lol, I must get a bike when I am 18
the Cyberpunk documentary made by Indigo Gaming brought me here
Some random ruskie on vrchat was playing this through his mic, to him I say spasiba!
Now that I've heard the MaSu cover, I have to hear the original. Sweet, though a bit too slow for my tastes. Still good.
Congrats on getting your song on Brandon rogers short-film klayton!
New this banger would eventually be noticed
Give a thumbs up if your here because of bryce
Indigo Gaming thank you very much.
"Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen unto the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that devastate the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, pleading with me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God. The title suits me well."
I approve.
Who’s here from Bryce?
me 😩
Me
I'm in absolute love with the guitar at 1:47 ❤
I just want to say, I am listening to this in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, in the year 2023.
Bryce series ya i was there too
Here because of Essenger. Such a cool collab! The joining of two powers
I love both this and Machinae Supremacy's cover. This feels like something V would listen to and the cover sounds like something Johnny would listen to. For my cyberpunk fans.
Fuck I need to make a Cyberpunk Playlist the in-game radio is too quiet.
Damn this is pretty good! We'll never kneel to their empire of steel.
Damn right F*ck the new world order
Digitize our souls? Wait he’s talking about the relic 😮👏🏻😱
This should be named the cyberpunk anthem
Nice. It's retro wave time. Remaking the 80's with style as always.💜😎👍
Indigo's new video brought me here - thank you so much for this, it's celestial.
All of scandroids work is fantastic, been a fan of them for years, check out their album scandroid (yeah great title). it tells a very heartwarming/sad story throughout it's tracks
open.spotify.com/album/4ooMCtNgb73ygLxEud8ihF?si=W6qrlR5TTkKQKaPHG_hYgg

Celestial is a really good way to describe their music, synthwave depeche mode is just so perfect. some other suggestions, for you Crywolf (dysphoria good song), aviators (godhunter) are also very much in this vein. it's an incredibly hard to pin down rare type of music that just does not get any real attention and they're special to me when i find new songs/artists who can make music like this. it hits me deep
Давай, Клэйтон!! Заряжай ещё!!😝🎄😝
*Текст сильный!👍*
да

Machinae got me here, both songs are really freaking awesome !
I heard the Machinae Supremacy song and just found out it's a cover of this. It probably said in the description but anyway, love both versions of the song. Most amazing of all is unlike other covers, I like both equally and I must check out more of your songs after this!
If ever Anarcho-Transhumanism had an anthem, especially in these times, it’s this.
This one is for night driving
This song will be the anthem of 2020.. in 5 years
Best song of Scandroid ... I have listened all of his songs new and old...this one is the best of best..Nom 1
I just happened to discover this song in a cyberpunk-themed playlist and I immediately thought it was fantastic. This definitely has a permanent spot on my playlist now.
Fantastic!! Why didn't cyberpunk 2077 use this? It fits the story perfectly.
This song wasn't made yet when Cyberpunk 2077 came out.
Scandroid has some post-pandemic music vibes
Just , look at the lyrics
A one world government sort of song that is spot on.
Last line of chorus is perfect for Transformers. Just imagine how movies would be epic with his music
Yeah, this one is an instant favorite.
40k fan here, this fits in the setting of a civilized world that's ruled by corporations and that the half human half machine is a description to the Adeptus Mechanicus
This is seriously, the best ever. I used to play Netrunner back in the late 90s and early 00s and this is just... it. This gives me chills.
netrunner is fucking fire. Jinteki gang rise up
Love this song. Even playing it at 1.25x speed
It sounds better at this setting
This needs to be in Cyberpunk 2077 its F*ckin Siiiiiick
Found this song in SynthRiders and I’m OBSESSED 😁
I've heard this song a few times in various media, and something about the vocals seemed familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on why. I just realized that Scandroid is Klayton and it blew my mind! I've been a huge fan of Celldweller for such a long time, but I hadn't listened in a while. This song is absolutely amazing! I really should do a better job of keeping up with my favorite artists so I don't miss out on stuff like this in the future.
Check out Circle of Dust too if you haven't already, that was one of Klayton's earliest projects and he released another album around the same time as Scandroid's debut
@@nobodyspecial7340 Awesome! I'll check it out. Thanks!
I love this track, and i also bought the "Scandroid - Scandroid" album and got it today, awesome music!
Honestly this is incredibly relevant to our modern world as it stands today. Digitizing our souls could be seen as us using social media to organize against the megacorps. We are the first truly digital generation. Amazon, Exxon Mobile, Walmart, Bank of America, CVS, Alphabet and the rest will have their day.
Listening to Indigo Gamings long awaited part 2, didn’t even get past this song had to find and download!
3 years ago when this was released, I figured that Ai was coming up very soon. Fast forward 3 years, protests about Ai taking our jobs. Chilling stuff, for real...
This song is fking amazing.
Those lyrics became so relevant right now
Recently got my first VR headset and discovering this track on Synth Riders has honestly been one of the best parts of the whole experience. Been in my head for days so finally had to look it up outside the game 😍
Dear Clayton, i so love your all projects, but Scandroid i love more, i so love before Crlldweller in my 15 years, in my 25 i hear Scandroid and so love it, and then i see - Its your project, i love all yours project and i know about Scandroid, I did not know that this is your project. I just want say, do a more music in Scandroid, please. I so love Scandroid. From Russia with love💙
What a cool song!! It perfectly portrays the cyberpunk genre!
I love how both voices are harmonizing here
Thank god Apple Music recommended this after Neo Tokyo, freaking love this song. Thank you
Идеальная гармония!
Perfect harmony!
found this while searching for Machinae Supremacy Empire of Steel. Love this quite a bit, glad I found it :D
edit: And noticed the heart comment by MaSu on their song @Essenger ♩
"
Pinned by Machinae Supremacy
@Essenger ♩
Yo this is fucking sickkkkk ♡

My music library is expanding nicely :D
Holy fuck ive good doublegoosebumps. One because of the firetrack and one from the artwork
This song is incredible
I actually heard of Essenger since that song by Mazare came out on Monstercat (called Berzerker). Pretty amazing one right here! 👍
Raise your hand if you're also here cause of Brandon Rogers 🙋♂️
You mean Steve Rogers 🇺🇸
Who's that?
I’m here because someone got Cryoshell to make another song. Leading me to discover Essenger.
In short, I’m here because someone gave me Matoro for my birthday. May Matoro rest in peace.
Blitzo
Honestly these two artists making a track together is like a fucking dream come true.
the message in this track is prolly the scariest and most relevant of any song on earth right now, so much pop rap, country ect is so pointless and egotistical......this however captures the real purpose of music as an art form of storytelling
9 months later I come along and tell you how right you are
yeah, the main thing i love about music is how fullfilling the lyrics can be, not just some hollow 3 words on repeat for 5 mins
I couldn't agree with you more.
@João Paulo litening to them, sounds great, ty for another artist in this genre
Yes exactly, those lyrics are so on point with all the bs that’s happening rn, where humanity is currently at and where we are heading to: a new digitized world of complete control. But sadly, most people don’t get it...
One of the best musics I've listened to. Ever. Damn.
Not a song....an anthem.
Love it! I wouldn't digitize my soul though. There is a Black Mirror episode about it also. I love how current and relevent Klayton's music is.
U cant digatize it
Oh man, this is the best thing I've heard in years.
found this song through my dad on a car ride. i will forever love this, love you dad!
