    A brand new original song based around Striker, featuring originally created backing music, sound design, visuals and artwork.
    And here we are! My last upload of 2023 to close out the year in style after what has been a frankly bonkers 12 months of music and personal accomplishments I never thought I'd see happen. We've heard ink demons sing and booze cats swing. Saw killers return and watched popstars perform. And listened to a prince's lament. And now it's time for the best bounty hunter in Hell to have his turn.
    Striker has been one of the most... well, striking characters that Helluva has introduced, scheming and slick to get what he wants no matter what gets in his way. His original introduction cutting right to the heart of Blitzo's insecurities before showing himself to be dangerous enough to kidnap a Goetia successfully speaks to his sheer determination and skill, and there was only one person who could do this song justice. Striker himself!
    Edward Bosco has been an inspiration to me since my earliest days of making proper fan music. From the debut of the Hazbin pilot all the way to his turn providing such a charismatic performance in Striker, having him on board this track was an honour and privilege to have. Ed put in an insane amount of practice to ensure his performance really captured the arrogance and willpower the piece needed and he absolutely nailed it in every possible way. With a massive shoutout to Dawn M. Bennett as the vocal director for the project, helping to bring this all together with their own amazing talents and direction!
    The track itself is inspired by not only the obvious country and Western vibes that Striker's status as a cowboy villain brings, but also the energetic movements of breakbeat and drum-heavy dance music pioneered by the likes of artists such as Fatboy Slim in the early 2000s. I wanted to fuse that old time sound with something modern to match Striker's style with his methods, focusing on material that shows that nothing will stand in his way of getting what he wants and enjoying the hunt while he does it. See if you can spot the references to already existing Striker music from the show!
    Scope it in and drop, dear listeners, he's honing in on you...

If he gets to be known as an unhinged hitman who won't stop even if the client ends up changing their mind on the hit, that would likely start effecting how many rely on him.

    God I loved the scrappy western vibe this had! Definitely a song befitting our beloved bounty hunter! Carlos did an amazing job with the editing and Kalico's art never ceases to impress!! Outstanding job to Bosco for his performance! The way he carries some of the lyrics really shows his personality, like how you can practically hear him sneering when he mentions the royals, and how he's having the time of his life when he thinks of hunting down his prey. All in all yet another masterpiece and a fantastic way to end the year!

      An arc that wasn’t established in his first outing in season 1, was not built up at all and happened way too fast, and completely changed his character for the worst in season 2, he was made up to be an actual genuine threat in season 1 and season 2 completely shat the bed on that, effectively making Striker a big joke. An arc like going insane would fit someone like Stella way more considering she’s already in high power and could lose that at any moment, Striker has nothing to lose, considering his lower position in hell. This transition to insanity never feels natural even if it was meant to happen regardless.

      @@bananerbug165 he’s still a genuine threat, and no, he’s not a joke. also, has nothing to lose? he absolutely does have something to lose. HIS JOB AND REPUTATION? the only thing he has left? a crew member who works on the show literally said he’s losing it because he’s losing the only thing he had left going for him.
      striker has done more damage to the characters in season 2 than he did in season 1, and is also far more competent. people either watched harvest moon festival with rose tinted glasses or simply haven’t watched it in a while because striker was not “retconned” or changed at all. his behaviour in season 2 is completely understandable if you actually LISTEN to what he says, pay attention to who he’s interacting with and also the setting he’s in.
      in season 1, striker was all talk. he was a badass, don’t get me wrong, but did no damage apart from breaking millie’s arm, and he didn’t get round to doing his job because he was too busy bullying moxxie. in season 2, he does his damn job. he doesn’t beat around the bush, he gets down to doing what he’s got to do. he also beat the crap out of m&m in a 2v1 and also almost killed them as well as stolas. IMP all take him seriously. if they didn’t, they wouldn’t be trying to kill him every time they cross paths. striker being able to survive all of their attempts to kill him and be able to stand toe to toe with them in fights despite the fact that there are 3 of them and 1 of him alone shows how capable he is. and no, he’s not treated “like a joke”. people like to claim he is because stolas was being snarky towards him during the start of the kidnapping (even though that’s perfectly in character for stolas and striker’s reaction was perfectly justifiable), and because striker has a statue of himself. if you think his entire character has gone down the drain because he has a statue of himself when he was already presented as one of the most narcissistic characters in the show, i don’t know what to tell you.

      vivziepop does not need to sit here and spoon feed you the idea that striker is going to go insane because it ruins the entire point. you should be able to infer why he’s lost his mind by looking at his behaviour, how he acts and what he says in the three episodes he appears in, and it’s really not that difficult to understand why if you actually pay attention. at the end of his debut episode, you’re not supposed to know he’s going to go insane, because it builds up over the next couple of episodes before reaching a boiling point at the end of oops.

    This incredibly catchy song combined with that character design got me interested in finally watching Helluva Boss! I think I can safely say I wouldn't have been nearly so interested in Striker if I hadn't heard this first before watching his debut in the Harvest Moon festival episode. It conveys his character so well, and shows him to be more than just a macho cowboy archetype. I especially love the addition of the backing chorus underneath the main chorus, it's so satisfying and catchy.

Deep, powerful, slick, with a true blue western feel and a way of truly showing how depraved and vengeful Striker is. We still have no real clue as to just what turned him against the rulers of Hell, but this shows just what he is: a monster worthy of realm of the damned who will stop at nothing til he gets his prize and who aims for all highborns (even Lucifer homself possibly) to be good and gone. Truly a FANTASTIC way to end the year! Congrats!

    With the slow bit occurring when his target or targets are "trying" to hide while he is searching for them.
