And finally, Come Get Some is available on Bandcamp!
This collaboration has been in the works (and subsequently, under wraps) for a long time now. I’ve been cryptically posting the lyrics to the song here on my web pages. For your benefit, here are the complete lyrics once and for all:
Come Get Some (Lyrics by Richard Cooremans)
Come get some
Come get some
Come get some
COME GET SOME
YEAH!
Groovy…
You come into my town
And now it’s going down
You get up in my way
And now you gotta pay
You had to cross the line
You’re running out of time
The line of sight is clear
I’ll make you disappear
(repeat)
The song came about after I saw Agony band member Alan Wehrman (their bassist) mention on Doomworld that he was in a heavy metal band of sorts. I looked them up, checked out their songs, and contacted Alan with a friendly challenge: would he and Agony like to take on my song from E1L1 of Duke Nukem 3D, “Stalker,” and rework it in their own Nü-Metal style? He checked with his band, and the answer was a resounding yes.
A few weeks later, they sent me the first recording of their interpretation. I drew some inspiration from it and “spliced” in a synth solo. I sent this back to them, and they loved it. It was in the song officially. I even went down and had a rehearsal with them to see how it would fit. Later on, they sent me the stems for mixing and mastering. I added the synth solo plus a couple of other goodies (bells, horror synth), and that was that – the song was done.
Agony and I surely hope you’ll enjoy this single. Please let us know what you think of it in the comments. Thank you for your patience!
You had to cross the line
You come into my town
