Seasons don’t fear the reaper. Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain.” It’s a song I’ve heard a million times—but never like this. The classic Blue Oyster Cult chorus floats above the downtempo drumbeat from Post Malone’s ‘Better Now’, the synth pads from J Balvin and Willy William’s ‘Mi Gente’, and a light piano flourish from Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’.
The result is haunting, a chillhop medley that sends goosebumps up your spine. Then it’s over, or rather ruined, as Blue Oyster Cult’s poetic ode to everlasting love is interrupted by the opening synth from ‘Party Rock Anthem’, and everyone in the room winces and then starts laughing.
Harmonix is revealing its new game, , and it’s a hell of a lot of, and Harmonix released it in 2017. It was a collectible card game that required a physical board, mobile app, and some kind of external speaker to play, on top of booster packs.
