How it went happened- Jay: You want to be Poseidon? Steven: I don’t know… Jay: We’ll give you this trident Steven: RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OURSELVES
i was kinda afraid because mr rivera-herrans had a way to sing this song with so much passion that i couldn't even picture someone else could sing it with the same energy and feeling . But this guy, his voice and the way he sing this is so perfect. when i hear him even with this small extra i'm just submerged into it
I felt the same way! Especially still nervous to hear "Get in the water" because the snippet we've heard from Jorge is already so well sung, the tone, the acting, everything! But I like Steven's voice a lot too, especially in this song, so I know it's gonna be amazing. I'm so excited for this saga and the rest to come!
I'm one of the people that was a bit nervous because I've been listening to Jorge's version and loving it to death, but I also really love this voice and delivery for Poseidon! Like everyone else said, he sounds rough, and I think he puts a good amount of anger behind "that's what I HATE!" Also I love that he's holding the trident in all these clips lmao. I'm so excited!!!
Ok ok ok but just imagine. Steven Rodriguez singing 'Get In the Water' Just imagine. I'm not able to imagine. My brain is incapable of imagining such epicness.
My favorite thing about this snippet is how into character Steven is. You can literally see the veins in the neck bulging on Poseidon's more aggressive lines, especially during the lead up to the chorus. Yes, part of it might be the strain of hitting the notes, but with the amount of enthusiasm Steven is showing in the booth, it really sells the character and shows in his voice. Also, the diction on the hard consonants! It adds a sharpness and emotion to the lyrics that would have been sorely missed otherwise. 10/10 performance. Well done Steven Rodriguez!
I feel guilty that Poseidon has stolen Eurylochus’ spot as my favorite character in Epic. I just love his songs so much and then the voice actor goes and makes the songs even more amazing! ❤
I was constantly thinking, "Who is going to do Ruthlessness better than Jorge?" after hearing him sing the concept song, and BOY did he find a PERFECT Poseidon! I'm so excited for this album!!!
I am convinced that the trident was 100% necessary for the making of this video and will now be required every time Steven shows up. Please I need more Poseidon content
Steven is _killing_ it! He sounds so good! He absolutely nailed the oceanic fury that I'd imagine from Poseidon. The rasp, the energy, the anger- it all just fits so well. This is going to be the best Christmas of all time.
Ok Jorge, but you can't give us a clip like this 3 days before the release, our excitement is already so above the stars that we could have a heart attack at any moment! (P.s. Hi dad, how are you? 🌊 )
Pshh, you Poseidon kids and your "Ruthlessness," always making my mother (Athena) come and save the day for some poor hero Still the same as you have been for thousands of years
I was worried I’d have trouble adjusting to the new Poseidon after getting accustomed to Jorge doing it, but gods damn this is good. The rage is so apparent in the singing, I absolutely love it
I'm actually so excited that I'm shaking right now. Normally, I would be screaming, but I'm so incredibly hyped for this that I can barely type. Well done, Epic.
You know now that Disney adapted Percy Jackson into a show, can we have this guy do a collab on the show and to do a cover of this song that relates to the show
Gosh, this song always got my blood pumping before. But now, coupled with the gruff and gravelly tones of his voice, it is on a whole other level. The casting is on-point 👌👌👌 I cannot WAIT to be able to listen to the full track!
Hold please while I listen to this on repeat until my brain adjusts to this being the real voice of Poseidon I’m so used to Jay’s stand in voice from the clips
They chose so well with him, his voice matches the role perfectly. Can’t wait for the rest of the songs to come out so I can just listen to it all the way through. Love Epic
This went so freaking hard, it got me so psyched for the new saga. The intensity on that inflection he gives on the last "mercy upon ourselves"? Omg I'm going to be replaying this so much! 🤟😁🔱
I was sooo afraid that I wouldn't like the new voice for this song. I've listened to the previous demo too many times and it was my absolute favourite. Every part of it - the tone, the acting, the voice, the singing... But THIS. This is not just good, this is perfect. I fell in love with the song even more. I didn't know it was even possible! I feel so excited about the Ocean saga release!! Can't wait!
I’m sorry but I watched the animatic and it was amazing. He has an amazing voice and for obvious reasons I want him to voice Leviathan in Helluva Boss 😊❤
You know... so when looking at all those auditions and things, I was like 'o i love the way this is sung' and 'o this sounds really good' and like 'o i like the way they'er spinning this' but like.. he just sounds like the album. like. it would prolly be weird with someone else because this is just like... the song that was on the album? (despite the fact we've yet to hear it). the casting is just so spot on, like- of course this is what Poseidon sounds like, duh. its got the same... feel? as the demo version, but like, also sounds more 'like' the character at the same time? love it. (also omg my xmas is so busy already ive no idea how im going to get this in there too)
Having the trident to grip and just focus all your strength into has got to help. Amazing performance, I'd like to hear it raw, no background noise. Just you.
I CANNOT PHSYCIALLY WAIT FOR THE OCEAN SAGA TO BE RELEASED. LIKE WHY DOES IT SOUND SO CRAZY GOOD?? I DON'T KNOW BUT I'M LOVING IT! I currently have the cyclops saga and troys sagga in my playlist. Patiently waiting for the ocean saga to release.
I need this song downloaded onto my spotify more that i need food and water rn... the full body shivers i get at the chorus are just... god, this song is perfect
the little "keep going!" before steven rodriguez sung one of the most powerful parts in the song, while he was clearly out of breath, was so crazy to see
❤ excited beyond belief for this saga to release. Vibrating with so much joy. I'm also liking who they cast for posiedon enjoying the gruffness he comes with. Like scratchy gruffness to his singing if that makes sense, when he says "ruthlessness...". Can't wait 😊
we get two more in the vengece saga (third saga of act two), called Get in the Water and 600 Strike! atm we only have clips of Jay recording get in the water and a few lines from odysseus from 600 strike
I was worried about who would be playing Poseidon because all his songs sounded like they would be my favorites and it would make or break depending on who sang it. I was not disappointed at all! Can't wait to hear him sing 'Get in The Water'!
How it went happened-
Jay: You want to be Poseidon?
Steven: I don’t know…
Jay: We’ll give you this trident
Steven: RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OURSELVES
That is so accurate 😂😂😂
LOL
Lmao😂
This actually happened, I am the trident
@@Liz_The_Arson_ChildI can confirm too, I was the hat.
Ok, I can not be the only person that laughs because he has a trident in this hand as he sings. He really is Poseidon 🔱💙
It’s helping get into character
That and the shirt as well!
What ever gets you into character, i wouldve done the same.
King of the Sea for real 😂
Having the modern baseball cap on is giving Percy Jackson Poseidon.

Sammmmmme! To both comments!
@@LoreCatan I actually like Stevens voice as Posieden better.
@@mrs.samuel.L.jackson same
I’m excited to listen to get in the water track, it’ll be awesome
This dude channels the roughness of the ocean so well, Steven really is the greatest voice for Poseidon. Can’t wait for the Ocean Saga to drop!!!
His voice reminds me of the saltiness of the ocean, and the rough touch of the sand grating against his voice. Amazing!!!
It’s equally rough and smooth. That gentle splash or a thundering wave pushing you back yet swaying you in.
I've heard someone else describe it as 'he sounds like one of those surfer dudes who's been gargling salt water for years' and I can't say he's wrong.
You PERFECTLY described it.
That sassy “But noooo” is everything 😂
Its in in my collection if favorite musical moment moments with the sirens very convincing "oh no" and eurylochus "what?!"
He captured Poseidon so well with that voice! Bravo! Bravo! Poseidon is finally here everyone!
I'm one of the people that was a bit nervous because I've been listening to Jorge's version and loving it to death, but I also really love this voice and delivery for Poseidon! Like everyone else said, he sounds rough, and I think he puts a good amount of anger behind "that's what I HATE!" Also I love that he's holding the trident in all these clips lmao. I'm so excited!!!
I was a bit anxious too about it, but he has great emotional choices on the enfasis and I LOVE his voice texture! The chorus gave me goosebumps 🎉❤
Me tooooo but still jorge’s « but nooo » is better 😂😂
I don't know how you found someone who sounds like a barnacle. He's awesome and I'm so ready for the new saga!
That is an odd but accurate description.
HOW IS THAT SO ACCURATE? I LOVE IT
It’s the rasp/gravel in his voice
That is so weirdly fitting
Ok ok ok but just imagine.
Steven Rodriguez singing 'Get In the Water'
Just imagine.
I'm not able to imagine. My brain is incapable of imagining such epicness.
I can't waaaait
Omg, yes
Yaaaaas i want to hear that so bad!!!
My patience is running out! I need to hear it now!
Next month🤞
Seriously, he's just totally method acting, I feel like he is ready to use that trident in his hands.
I wanna see the whole BTS video so bad - I *love* his Poseidonning.
I like the raspiness in his voice. I think it adds all the more to his character.
The rage, it’s perfect for a raging sea. And the “But noOoOO” is perfect
Also I love how he’s constantly holding the trident and that’s he’s wearing a Poseidon shirt!! 🔱❤
My favorite thing about this snippet is how into character Steven is. You can literally see the veins in the neck bulging on Poseidon's more aggressive lines, especially during the lead up to the chorus.

No waaaaaay......
He has trident, AND A POSEIDON PRINT ON T-SHIRT!
Full immersion
YOU ARE LEGENDS
Poseidon actually sounds older now, and Steven's voice goes so well with it, it's so scratchy and intimidating an ahhh! I can't wait! 😁😁
I am convinced that the trident was 100% necessary for the making of this video and will now be required every time Steven shows up. Please I need more Poseidon content
Steven knocked it out of the freaking ball park, man!! 😮 I can't wait to hear the full version!
Oh he NAILED the "but noooo", that's always been one of my favourite parts!
Steven is _killing_ it! He sounds so good! He absolutely nailed the oceanic fury that I'd imagine from Poseidon. The rasp, the energy, the anger- it all just fits so well. This is going to be the best Christmas of all time.
Ok Jorge, but you can't give us a clip like this 3 days before the release, our excitement is already so above the stars that we could have a heart attack at any moment!
(P.s. Hi dad, how are you? 🌊 )
YAY! Another Demigod!
Hello brother or sisters
Pshh, you Poseidon kids and your "Ruthlessness," always making my mother (Athena) come and save the day for some poor hero
Still the same as you have been for thousands of years
@@varner0715you do realise he gets with one of your mom’s daughters- right?
(Percy you’re breaking the timeline the odyssey is set thousands of years before you were born!)
I was worried I’d have trouble adjusting to the new Poseidon after getting accustomed to Jorge doing it, but gods damn this is good.
The rage is so apparent in the singing, I absolutely love it
I'm actually so excited that I'm shaking right now.
Normally, I would be screaming, but I'm so incredibly hyped for this that I can barely type. Well done, Epic.
Such a gruff voice! In love with it and I’m so excited for the saga to come out!!!
You know now that Disney adapted Percy Jackson into a show, can we have this guy do a collab on the show and to do a cover of this song that relates to the show
Daaamm, he's so good! I love the slight raspiness of his voice? He trully sounds like an ancient sea god. The mocking "but noooo" was so good!
I was looking forward to this! I cannot wait until the full Ocean Saga is released! Great work from you Jorge and the whole cast💙🌊!
Gosh, this song always got my blood pumping before. But now, coupled with the gruff and gravelly tones of his voice, it is on a whole other level. The casting is on-point 👌👌👌
I cannot WAIT to be able to listen to the full track!
Can’t wait for the full album
I just discovered Epic recently, and this was the first song I heard. His voice immediately drew me in.
He really channeled his inner poseidon with the trident🔱
Im so excited for the release!
Hold please while I listen to this on repeat until my brain adjusts to this being the real voice of Poseidon
I’m so used to Jay’s stand in voice from the clips
They chose so well with him, his voice matches the role perfectly. Can’t wait for the rest of the songs to come out so I can just listen to it all the way through.
Love Epic
Hey you know apparently there a bit which was improvised, there’s a little speech thing from Jay saying ‘keep going’ at
0:49
This went so freaking hard, it got me so psyched for the new saga. The intensity on that inflection he gives on the last "mercy upon ourselves"? Omg I'm going to be replaying this so much! 🤟😁🔱
I love Jorge in the back round shouting“keep going!”
Nothing is better than artists getting excited for each other's work XD
"You can breathe later, SING!" 😂
I was sooo afraid that I wouldn't like the new voice for this song. I've listened to the previous demo too many times and it was my absolute favourite. Every part of it - the tone, the acting, the voice, the singing... But THIS. This is not just good, this is perfect. I fell in love with the song even more. I didn't know it was even possible! I feel so excited about the Ocean saga release!! Can't wait!
STEEVEENN YOU SOUND EPIC💙🌊🔱
You think he’s good now? Wait till he does “Get in the water”
So excited for this saga to drop, one great Christmas present
I like how the last line is, "And now it is finally time to say goodbye," and then it cuts out. Accurate.
I though Jorge was brilliant at it but this man SLAYED IT EVEN HARDER.
I’m sorry but I watched the animatic and it was amazing. He has an amazing voice and for obvious reasons I want him to voice Leviathan in Helluva Boss 😊❤

(also omg my xmas is so busy already ive no idea how im going to get this in there too)
Yaaaaaas!!!! Dude, he sounds so awesome!!! 💙🤘
I have never clicked on a notification so fast. I’m so excited for this. 🎉
Soooo good ❤
Oh god he's too good!! "Ruthlesness is mercy upon ourselves!!" Hits so hard!! 🌊
First! sorry, I had to.
I love the trident😀
Omg his voice is perfect for this role. 🤩
loving that harmony like nobody's business
Steven's voice fits so well!! I'm in love it's so gorgeous and powerful and mighty and OMG
Can't wait for the full song
Your voice don’t match your face
Right???😂😂
“BuT NuUuUUUuuu” 🙄😒
I literally told my friend Today how excited I am for Ruthlessness with Steven's voice! It's amazing!
I'm gonna stream this song for at least a month on repeat. Ruthlessness is already my favourite, his voice is so amazing
Yo where did he get his trident? Asking for a friend
I love that he has a prop to help him channel the sea vibes!! Can't wait to hear his version of "get in the water"!
HOLY SHIT IM SO HYPED BRO
Having the trident to grip and just focus all your strength into has got to help. Amazing performance, I'd like to hear it raw, no background noise. Just you.
Cant wait to listen to this song on the most joyous day of the year😂
I CANNOT PHSYCIALLY WAIT FOR THE OCEAN SAGA TO BE RELEASED.
LIKE WHY DOES IT SOUND SO CRAZY GOOD?? I DON'T KNOW BUT I'M LOVING IT!
I currently have the cyclops saga and troys sagga in my playlist. Patiently waiting for the ocean saga to release.
i love this guys voice, so gritty and awesome it gives me shivers every time i hear it.
The growl 🔥🔥🔥 I am SO HYPE MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US YALL
You need to have him sing get in the water
I need this song downloaded onto my spotify more that i need food and water rn... the full body shivers i get at the chorus are just... god, this song is perfect
Great work keep it up!
Why does it make me think of Phil Collins? I’m really living for it but why is that the first thing my brain hears??
not gonna lie, first time I heard him, I was sitting in a knock-off waffle house, and I almost sprayed a banana out my nose.
the little "keep going!" before steven rodriguez sung one of the most powerful parts in the song, while he was clearly out of breath, was so crazy to see
Thank you Wolfythewitch for getting me into this music and story bro
The whole studio is literally shaking
I wanna be "singing Ruthlessness with a trident in hand" level of cool
Please if whoever sang this sees this comment please sing get in the water
This is my favourite part of this song ❤
❤ excited beyond belief for this saga to release. Vibrating with so much joy. I'm also liking who they cast for posiedon enjoying the gruffness he comes with. Like scratchy gruffness to his singing if that makes sense, when he says "ruthlessness...". Can't wait 😊
man i just discorvered EPIC this week, this guy is beyond amazing. I hope we get many more songs where poseidon is involved in the future
we get two more in the vengece saga (third saga of act two), called Get in the Water and 600 Strike! atm we only have clips of Jay recording get in the water and a few lines from odysseus from 600 strike
Three days and counting! Is it sad my friends and I are texting eachother everyday to remind eachother it comes out?
I gotta say it's epic.
Yyyooo, this already sounds like it's going to be my favorite song in the musical. Keep up the great work guys!
Honestly, the passion whilst singing is so sexy...
Just listened to the full song and it’s AWESOME
WHAT IS THE EXACT TIME THIS COMES OUT? BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO WASTE A SECOND AND LISTEN TO IT THE MOMENT IT IS RELEASED
I was worried about who would be playing Poseidon because all his songs sounded like they would be my favorites and it would make or break depending on who sang it. I was not disappointed at all! Can't wait to hear him sing 'Get in The Water'!
W POSEIDON CASTING ALSO THE RECORDING ROOM LOOKS SO SICK
What time is the Ocean Saga releasing tomorrow?
You're songs are awesome toattaly epic ❤
Bro.this guy takes this song to a whole different level. Another legend added to tbe Eoic crew 👏
The chills i have every time this instruments play this part 0:18 it s mind blowing
Tbh, this song brought me to Steven Rodriguez's own discography and to discover his voice is just Like That...... No seat in the house was dry.
This is totally awsome ❤
YEEEEEES FINALLY!!! it's way better than i expected, and i expected a lot!!! perfect voice for Poseidon, I'm in love
Personally, I think Poseidon in EPIC is similar to my oc Wyatt, who also has a son named Alexander, who he lost at the hands of his enemies
I'm so excited and can't wait for the Ocean saga to drop 🔱🌊
Yay, recording clips!! Such a great gritty voice!
This is a bop. I am literally screaming and singing along. I think someone is coming to check on me now. Two more days, just two more days.
that distortion in his voice voice though
