Metal Genesis Announces “Barrel of a Gun” Song Collab with Priscilla Abby

Lemon Sky Studios has announced the release of the song “Barrel of a Gun” with renowned Malaysian artist Priscilla Abby, who has 1.29M subscribers on YouTube. “Barrel of a Gun” serves as the theme song for the studio’s original mech IP universe Metal Genesis. The official music video for the song, produced by Lemon Sky and featuring a mocap 3D-animated depiction of Priscilla Abby as a cyborg superstar, is set to be released this Sep 5, 8pm. 

The release of “Barrel of a Gun” is highly anticipated by Metal Genesis fans, due to a teaser version of the song being used as the soundtrack for Metal Genesis’s most recent cinematic trailer titled “All Hail the Harmonic”. This trailer introduces the Harmonic Heroes, one of the unique mech factions in the Metal Genesis universe, and has surpassed 100k views in just a few months due to the highly creative designs of the mechs which are controlled through the power of music. Numerous comments on the trailer show fans’ deep appreciation for the music and their excitement for a full version of the song 

To immerse fans in the universe of Metal Genesis, Lemon Sky Studios has worked with Priscilla Abby and her team to create the original song “Barrel of a Gun” which reflects the themes of Metal Genesis. For the music video, Lemon Sky Studios’ in-house team used cutting-edge motion capture technology to manifest Priscilla Abby in the world of Metal Genesis, depicting her as a cyborg vocalist while the Harmonic Heroes play as her live band in a vibrant techno world.

Metal Genesis is the first fully original gaming IP universe by Lemon Sky Studios, a world class art and animation studio known for their contributions in iconic games such as the Final Fantasy VII Remake, Armored Core VI, and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. This ambitious project aims to leverage the team’s AAA expertise to create an expansive sci-fi saga told through games, animated films, comics, and more. To kick off the franchise, Lemon Sky has announced an upcoming Kickstarter campaign to develop a fast-paced boss rush game for PC called “Metal Genesis: Rogue Regime”, to be released on Steam.

Players of Metal Genesis: Rogue Regime will get to enjoy the thrill of rebellion while rising up against an oppressive regime using the power of “Gattai” – combining mechs to fuse into one unstoppable machine. To add a psychological layer to the experience, the game’s roguelike aspect irrevocably changes the main character with each mech upgrade, touching upon themes of existentialism and identity. In addition to the main singleplayer story campaign, the game will feature a leaderboard system which challenges players to sharpen their skills in battle, competing with other players to climb the ranks and claim the title of best mech pilot.
