Samurai is a legendary chromatic rock band featured throughout the Cyberpunk series, for whom music was a way to rebel against corporations. They are featured in Cyberpunk 2077, where they are musically portrayed by real life punk band Refused.

The band was originally founded by Johnny Silverhand and Kerry Eurodyne, though the group's name was coined by Nancy Hartley, inspired by fact that historical samurai were willing to die for their cause, even if it was immoral or just plain wrong. Nancy thought that kind of blind loyalty was very stupid, and so she decided to take the name and turn it around into a "street" meaning as a form of mockery. Johnny and Kerry simply thought it sounded cool.

Samurai started as a back-street band, playing in various bars and clubs around Night City, such as the Palladium, Destiny, or Nexus. Their first gig ever was played at the Red Dirt bar.

One night in 2003, after playing in the Rainbow Cadenza, the band was approached by a blitzed 'dorpher, who offered to sign them after witnessing their impressive act; this man turned out to be none other than Jack Masters, the head executive at Universal Music at the time. Within three weeks, Samurai was signed, had a record in production, and was preparing to tour every major city in the world. It took only these three weeks for their first single, "Blistering Love," to achieve #1 hit on the EuroCharts, which soon they followed up with the album, being one of the few times a debut album achieved such status in such a short time.

During the next years, Samurai toured around the world, playing concerts with an audience of thousands of people, even managing to sell out the whole Wembley Stadium. They released a total of six albums — with three being studio work, and the other three being concerts and jam sessions optioned by Universal.

In early 2007, the band suffered a blow that would later be decisive. Nancy (keyboardist) was dating a guy whom she eventually married. The rest of the band members didn't see it at first, but ten weeks after the ceremony they realized Nancy's husband was mistreating her. One day, she finally got the courage to talk about it with the other members after her husband tried to force her to quit Samurai. For Johnny and Kerry that was the last straw, and that same day they decided to go to their apartment to kick his ass, but by the time they got there it was already too late. Nancy's husband had started to beat her again, and she, deciding she'd had enough, threw him out of the window from their 83rd story apartment. Nancy was arrested, and after the trial she was convicted to seven months of prison. During that timespan, the band firmly supported her.

By 2008, Nancy finally got out of jail, focused on returning with the rest of Samurai. Unfortunately, those seven months of inactivity had put a split in the band that they were not able to heal, eventually realizing they were each going on different creative directions. Soon afterwards, they all went on their separate ways.

Henry (bassist) went to work on a human interface prototype, but an accident fried his brain and he had to rebuild his mind. Denny (drummer) joined a band called Mastermind, which went well for her. Nancy decided to change her name to Bes Isis, and went on to become a major media presence on N54 News. Johnny and Kerry went on to have successful solo careers, usually touring together as a double ticket.

The song was written by Johnny Silverhand in 2013 and is included in his album "A Cool Metal Fire", released under the label "Universal Media".

In 2020, a new version of the song was recorded together with the rest of the members of the Samurai chrome rock band.

In 2022, Kerry Eurodin released a cover version of this song with different lyrics.

In 2077, the song was played on Radio Morro Rock107.3 Morro Rock and once on Radio Vekselström89.3 Vekselström.

C-can you feel it?
Can you touch it?
Get ready 'cause here we go
C-can you feel it?
Can you touch it?
Get ready 'cause here we go

My soul invaded vital force
Won't spare what I'm hunting for
It's the animal within my blood
Wouldn't stop it, if I could
Seed is sown, I'm chippin' in
Roll the bones, I'm chippin' in
Embed the code, I'm chippin' in
Mayhem flows

Not backing down
Never backing down
Not backing down
Yeah

C-can you feel it?
Can you touch it?
Get ready 'cause here we go
C-can you feel it?
Can you touch it?
Get ready 'cause here we go
Yeah

Suits run when I come undone
Can't kill me, I'm zero and one
Add justice to the people's math
Blaze your way down the rebel path
Hear my call, I'm chippin' in
Total war, I'm chippin' in
Casings fall, I'm chippin' in
Kill them all

Not backing down
Never backing down
Uh

C-can you feel it?
Can you touch it?
Get ready 'cause here we go

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Come on

C-can you feel it?
Can you touch it?
Get ready 'cause here we go
C-can you feel it?
Can you touch it?
Get ready 'cause here we go

After the reunion of the chrome rock band Samurai, a group version of the song was recorded.

In 2077, the song is played on Radio Morro Rock 107.3 Morro Rock.

𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭:
We lost everything
We had to pay the price
Yeah we lost everything
We had to pay the price

I saw in you what life was missing
You lit a flame that consumed my hate
I'm not one for reminiscing but
I'd trade it all for your sweet embrace

Yeah
'Cause we lost everything
We had to pay the price

There's a canvas with two faces
Of fallen angels who loved and lost
It was a passion for the ages
And in the end guess we paid the cost

A thing of beauty, I know
Will never fade away
What you did to me, I know
Said what you had to say
But a thing of beauty

Will never fade away
Will never fade away
Will never fade away

I see your eyes, I know you see me
You're like a ghost how you're everywhere
I'm your demon never leaving
A metal soul of rage and fear

That one thing that changed it all
That one sin that caused the fall

A thing of beauty, I know
Will never fade away
What you did to me, I know
Said what you had to say
But a thing of beauty, I know
Will never fade away
And I'll do my duty, I know
Somehow I'll find a way
But a thing of beauty
Will never fade away
And I'll do my duty

Yeah
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away

Though not as famous as "Never Fade Away" or "Chippin' In", many fans of the chrome rock band Samurai consider "The Ballad of Buck Ravers" to be the band's most evil and most cyberpunk song.

In 2077, the song is played on Radio Morro Rock 107.3 Morro Rock.

𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭:
Lost another day to pointless drudgery
The slow chipping away of my autonomy
A rodent in a race unsung and underpaid
My colleagues seem to me like slaves in sheep-array
Then a shock goes through the herd at the nauseating purr
Of the corpos of the world when the content is secured
'Cause they're naked emperors hear the rattling of the purse
I hunger for the hearse 'cause nothing could be worse
Than a life lived as a limb in a debt anatomy
Rather be dead than a link in a chain of tyranny

Need a way to set it straight
Need to go out on the edge
Need to rage and get revenge
Need to feel myself again

Suit up, punch in, punch out non-stop
Suit up, punch in, punch out, get ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Pressured to mount the backs of my brothers
Clamber for clout year after year
The load multiplies up high on the ladder
The bottom falls out, then so does the fear

I've had enough
I've done enough
Here comes revenge
Here comes the end

Blood spatter in my face
Dead suits in my way
Bullets piercing me
Mama here comes liberty

Need a way to set it straight
Need to go out on the edge
Need to rage and get revenge
Need to feel myself again
Instead of

Suit up, punch in, punch out non-stop
Suit up, punch in, punch out, get ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Don't know how I began, but I was once a decent man
The promises I was made were made to keep me a slave
Cornered and kept on a wage to come the worst of my rage
One day the curtain falls

Time comes for all
Time comes for all
Now you gonna feel it
Time comes for all
Now you gonna feel it
Time comes for all
Now you gonna feel it

I've had enough
I've done enough
Here comes revenge
Here comes the end

The song was tested by chrome rock band Samurai at some point before 2023.

In 2077, the song is played on Radio Morro Rock 107.3 Morro Rock.

𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭:
In our willingness to be bought
In our hunger, hunger to buy
Hear the wish of the oppressed
To at least get to be oppressed in style

Freedom is slavery
Your content sold
Your liquid dorsal
So profitable

Pay for pastime
Pay to unwind
Pay to be born
Pay to die

So so savage the new machine
Geared to hunt down your privacy
So so savage the new machine
Kill it all for a like supreme
So so savage the new machine
Geared to hunt down your privacy
So so savage the new machine
Kill it all for a like supreme

Here we are now so entertained
We aim for stupid means we're going insane

Conflict is order
There's war in peace
Adjust the language
To what they believe

Friction is power
The distance is
From not knowing
To knowing this

So so savage the new machine
Geared to hunt down your privacy
So so savage the new machine
Kill it all for a like supreme
So so savage the new machine
Geared to hunt down your dignity
So so savage the new machine
Kill it all for a like supreme
A like supreme

Hunt down, hunt down
Hunt down, hunt down
Your dignity
Hunt down, hunt down
Hunt down, hunt down
Like supreme
Hunt down, hunt down
Hunt down, hunt down
Self-esteem
Hunt down, hunt down
Hunt down, hunt down
Hunt it down now

The song was written by Johnny Silverhand shortly before the nuclear bombing of Arasaka Tower on August 20, 2023, when the rocker's life was cut short. Because of this, "Black Dog" was never released: an already small number of copies were lost during the explosion. However, two copies still survive.

One of them was pirated and was a low-quality sample of the studio recording - most of the song was missing from it. This sample was found by a rocker named Leela, who tried to restore the full version of the song, but was unsuccessful. However, in 2038, with the help of journalist Trace Santiago, she managed to find a person who could help in this enterprise.

It turned out to be an employee of the Night City fire department Samantha Stevens. She handed Leela and Trace a thin blue chip that she claimed contained the full version of Black Dog. Unfortunately, the chip was damaged by an electromagnetic pulse caused by a nuclear bomb on August 20, 2023. In addition, part of the chip was encrypted.

Samantha didn't know what to do with it, but she made several copies of the chip and gave one of them to Leela. To thank for the gift, Leela and her friends in turn helped Samantha and moved the container with the body of Johnny Silverhand, which Stevens needed to deliver to the Los Alamos laboratory in New Mexico.

Once Leela and the mercenaries reached their destination, a female technician named Angel, to whom they brought the container, paid them a good amount of Eurodollars for their labors and gave Leela a similar chip, which contained the full version of the original studio recording of the song. So "Black Dog" got a new life.

In 2077, the song is played on Radio Morro Rock 107.3 Morro Rock.

𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭:
A blind man lost, in the streets
A pattern here, I need to see
Keep returning keep trying to leave
Got a bad feeling that I need to feel
Black dog runs at my side
Down a road, no end in sight
The city sleeps but in my mind
Got a knot that won't unwind

Tonight is the night that we run
The hunter becomes what he hunts
The escape and the chase become one
Run run
Tonight is the night that we run
The hunter becomes what he hunts
The escape and the chase become one
Run run

In concrete canyons squinting neon eyes
Black dog beside me, like shadow needing light
Stalk the backstreets, never at ease
Locked in a chase that'll never cease
A bloody moon, portending doom
Another cruel day is coming soon
Have to end this but it's just begun
A final charge, with the rising sun

Black dog in my head
Guiding me to the end
Black dog in my head
Guiding me to the end
Black dog in my head
Guiding me to the end
Black dog in my head

In concrete canyons squinting neon eyes
Black dog beside me, like shadow needing light
Stalk the backstreets, never at ease
Locked in a chase that'll never cease
A bloody moon, portending doom
Another cruel day, coming soon
Have to end this but it's just begun
A final charge, with the rising sun

Tonight is the night that we run
The hunter becomes what he hunts
The escape and the chase become one
Run run
Tonight is the night that we run
The hunter becomes what he hunts
The escape and the chase become one
Run run

The song was recorded by the chrome rock band Samurai at some point before 2023. Little is known about this song. But. Pieces of Archangel can be heard during Holdin' On, if Johnny plays a riff to catch Kerry's attention, and in Never Fade Away, when Johnny plays a concert in front of Arasaka Tower in the flashback. An instrumental version of what seems the whole song is heard during Boat Drinks, when destroying the ship. If romancing Kerry, the instrumental is heard in a higher quality. V can play parts of it in their apartment in Japantown.

𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭:
The desire to destroy
To disrupt, to lose control
To rebuild and then
To tear it down again

I'll bend it backwards until it breaks
Capacitors roaring inside my brain
Agent of chaos, call me a scam
I'm gonna take out the corporate men

Start the fire
Start the fire

Come join the dance of destruction
Valor, sweet as a kiss
Set it off, and it will never stop
Come join the dance of destruction
Valor, sweet as a kiss
Set it off and it will never stop
And it will never stop

Tear out the fabric, rip in the norm
Destructive architect with somewhere to go
I'll rip right through your sheepish herd
Feed insurrection to this broken world
I'm a lawless outcast always on the run
I'll challenge everything I've just begun to

Start the riot
Start the riot

The desire to destroy
To disrupt, to lose control
To rebuild and then
To tear it down again

Come join the dance of destruction
Valor, sweet as a kiss
Set it off, and it will never stop
Come join the dance of destruction
Valor, sweet as a kiss
Set it off, and it will never stop

Come join the dance of destruction
Valor, sweet as a kiss
Set it off, and it will never stop
Come join the dance of destruction
Valor, sweet as a kiss
Set it off, and it will never stop
It will never stop, yeah

This is the end. The end of an interesting story of all the most famous hits of the SAMURAI. I think that's enough for you, in this short time you managed to enjoy listening to real, beautiful music, and not the crap that you listen to every day now. Rap... K-pop... Do you probably watch Anime? Run, baby, your mother is calling you, you have gone far from home. And don't forget to wipe the milk off your lips.

All SAMURAI songs for the game were recorded by the Swedish hardcore punk rock band Refused.
If you, like the author of this guide, really like the songs of the SAMURAI rock band, but it already seems to you that those 6 songs are not enough, you can start listening to the songs of the real rock band Refused, whose style is exactly like in the songs of the SAMURAI rock band.


ᴅᴇɴɴɪs ʟʏxᴢéɴ ᴠᴏɪᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴊᴏʜɴɴʏ sɪʟᴠᴇʀʜᴀɴᴅ ɪɴ sᴀᴍᴜʀᴀɪ sᴏɴɢs



I can recommend you such albums as "War Music" 2019 there are such great hits as "REV001", "Economy Of Death", "Blood Red"


Refused - ᴡᴀʀ ᴍᴜsɪᴄ ᴠɪɴʏʟ ʟᴘ


Refused - REV001


Refused - Economy Of Death


Or an album "The Malignant Fire" which has the most beautiful songs a song called " "Organic Organic Organic (Go F**k Yurself)" and also "Born On The Outs" she is my favorite, it's very beautiful just listen.

Refused - ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴀʟɪɢɴᴀɴᴛ ꜰɪʀᴇ ᴠɪɴʏʟ ʟᴘ


Refused - Born On The Outs


Refused - Organic Organic Organic (Go F**k Yourself)

Of the old albums, I like "The Shape Of Punk To Kote" 1998 the most. In general, a rock band Refused all albums are cool and similar in style to SAMURAI, so here's a little life hack.
