Long ago The land ’twas a bright and as fair a thing For the people, they had a wise and just King And he ruled with his Queen by his side, And then he up and died “For the King!” And they rallied and went on their way! A foul evil to slay “For the King!”, they cried! And their banners they raised to the sky And then every last one of them died Far away Though it seems like only yesterday A widowéd Queen led us through the fray And the chaos was purged from the land But that peace would not stand “For the Queen!”, they say! While oppression and fear have their way Legions under her sway “For the Queen!”, they cry! As their gold and black arrows let fly And we all of us eat it, and die Oh, start again Will the next one turn and rally? Raise arms again We must fight and be Free again The dream that we strove for is in our grasp We must push ’til we clasp it with our last gasp With courage and heart on our side For all those who died “For the King,” we say! For the memories of yesterday And the people who lay In their graves We must fight against darkness most dire Or else every last one will expire For the King We will fight and be free once again O'er the land may his banner long reign! For the King Is a call to a shining new day For the ones of us who were not slain

about

Hail Fahrulians!
‘Tis I, your humble bard, returned once again to lovingly caress your ear with songs of struggle, strife, fear, and freedom. Once, when our King fell, our Queen took up the cause, leading us against the forces of chaos. Now the very land rises against a new threat. As we strive to free Fahrul from the oppression and corruption that seeks to enslave it, join me on a musical journey across our great homeland. Forty-two tracks spanning nearly two hours of dungeons, beautiful landscapes, festive frivolity, and brushes with certain death.

Harken now to my call - For Fahrul, for freedom, For The King!
—---------------------------------------
John Robert Matz is proud to present the soundtrack to “For The King II”, IronOak Games’ highly anticipated sequel to the breakout tabletop-inspired fantasy RPG, “For The King”. Experience all the adventure, combat, thrills, and glory, (without the terror of unfortunate dice rolls) crafted into a unique album listening experience and enjoyed from the comfort of your personal audio device of choice.

A Word from The Composer:
Returning to Fahrul’s inspiring fantasy world has been a dream, and with this score, I’ve pushed myself harder, learning and playing literally dozens of new period and folk instruments, all to bring Fahrul’s sophomore outing to life more vibrantly than ever before.
I hope you enjoy what we’ve all crafted here at IronOak, listen in good health.

Gunpoint - The Soundtrack
by Ryan Ike, Francisco Cerda, and John Robert Matz

Fantastic music by Ryan Ike and Francisco Cerda; I wrote the main theme and some extra bits, but it's an outstanding, jazzy, noir-laden sonic experience from a fantastic game. John Robert Matz

ABZÛ
by Austin Wintory

Supplanting Journey as my favorite Wintory score, Abzû is a wonderful exercise in texture and melody, with gorgeous oboe solos by Kristin Naigus and a tremendous sense of life and motion throughout. John Robert Matz

Masquerada: Songs & Shadows
by Josh Whelchel

A stunning renaissance-flavored, choral-driven tour-de-force, with some absolutely amazing writing and fascinating harmonic language on display, Masquerada is a treat for the ears. Highly recommended. John Robert Matz
