Jason Richardson Playthrough Video
Premieres at Guitar World HERE Today
“Jason Richardson is a guitar demon and the solo he played on ‘Our Way‘ is melodically and technically brilliant. Having him on our track was an honor,” says Carlos âoceloteâ Rodriguez, G2 vocalist and co-founder of G2 Esports.
Jason Richardson adds “Had a lot of fun recording these guitar parts for the G2 guys! Super easy to work with and I liked the challenge of learning the crazy synth unison after the solos! This song rips!â

Already one of the worldâs most successful and distinctive esports organizations, G2 Esports expands into music with the release of the epic power metal anthem âOur Way.â The inaugural release from G2âs newly launched music initiative sees company founder Carlos âoceloteâ Rodriguez leading a team of metal luminaries.
âOur Wayâ features Rodriguez alongside innovative djent/deathcore guitarist Jason Richardson (Chelsea Grin, Born Of Osiris, All Shall Perish), YouTube sensation and sought-after session drummer Luke Holland (Falling In Reverse, Starset, The Word Alive), and Finnish singer Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast). A sonic invocation of âthe G2 Way,â the track also boasts Taylor Davis (best known for her popular violin covers of video game music) and Chinese-born American cellist Tina Guo, who worked under the direction of Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack for Dune.

“Epic power metal is my favorite genre. I don’t care about its marketability. It’s coming from the heart like everything else we do.” commented Rodriguez. â20G2 is our year. This song is its anthem.â
âOur Wayâ begins with a battle cry. âLike the embers of the flames, we shall rise once again, to the last, we fight forever.â Itâs an assured reference to the G2 way, with a focus on rising above turbulent times. âWeâre taking flight into the flames, hear now the call of our redemption,â the chorus contends. âWeâre rising up, we must remain, always as one, stand together.âÂ
The accompanying music video for âOur Wayâ also launches the official 2022 G2 Jersey, created in partnership with adidas and now available online HERE. The wider G2 adidas Pro Kit, including a full tracksuit, a sleeve, and a supporter jersey, will follow in the coming weeks.Â
Some of G2âs legendary players, including Rasmus Winther âCapsâ, Sergen Ãelik âBroken Bladeâ, Marcin Jankowski âJankosâ, Nikola KovaÄ âNiKoâ and Zainab Turkie âzAAzâ, appear in the music video, wearing the new 2022 jersey, pursued by a Shadow Demon angered by the theft of an ancient artifact box. Rodriguez opens a portal with a sword made of shards. Those shards can also be found on the official 2022 G2 jersey itself. (Sami is an easter egg on the jersey, within the holographic.)Â
“We are the number one esports organization in the world. And now, we are setting the stage to entertain everybody beyond just competitive video games. This is the beginning of an insane, fun ride.” Rodriguez declared.
