King Yosef and Ola Englund are the final artists to be revealed on the guest list for the Fretless soundtrack—an epic, hardcore conclusion to a multi-genre album. The last two singles, “The Auxarachnid” and “The Harperbeast”, are now available on all music streaming platforms.
King Yosef: A Deliciously Aggressive Track
King Yosef is an American artist, singer, and composer who has forged a unique sonic identity by blending hardcore rap, industrial metal, and abrasive textures. A rising figure in the alternative scene, he draws from personal experiences and past traumas to deliver visceral music that is both raw and introspective. His dark and chaotic artistic direction is expressed through gritty production, guttural screams, and an unapologetically underground aesthetic shaped by hip-hop, hardcore, and noise.
On “The Auxarachnid”, he unleashes crushing riffs, layered with a touch of industrial noise, driven by a jagged rhythm that compels action. The track captures the restrained rage and raw intensity that define King Yosef’s sound, solidifying his position in a thriving and dynamic scene.
His addition to the Fretless soundtrack expands the sonic spectrum the album aims to reach, and we’re thrilled to feature such a bold artist in a video game soundtrack.
Ola Englund: Epic Metal Power
Guitarist, composer, content creator, producer, and entrepreneur—Ola Englund is a key figure in the Swedish metal scene. He has been a member of numerous metal bands, including Feared, The Haunted, and Six Feet Under. Thanks to his influence and undeniable charisma, he has become a well-loved and highly respected artist in the global metal community. Today, he boasts over 900,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.
With “The Harperbeast”, Ola delivers a metal track that is both epic and exhilarating. The song is cleverly crafted, filled with shifting intensities that match the pace and dynamics of gameplay. Sometimes explosive, sometimes more introspective, the piece follows the player with precision throughout their journey.
Ola Englund and King Yosef complete the impressive list of guest artists featured in Fretless – The Wrath of Riffson. With a soundtrack as eclectic in musical styles as it is rich in personality, it’s rare to see a video game gather such a stellar lineup of music talent. We are proud and excited to have worked on this project. Fretless – The Wrath of Riffson will be released on May 22, 2025. The game is produced by Ritual Studios and published by Playdigious Originals, with a soundtrack distributed by G4F Records.
