about

This is the track heard when you successfully complete a heist in the game.

When this track was being written, it was originally intended for the first teaser trailer for Payday. It was supposed to be heard when the Payday logo appears at the end of the trailer, and just ooze bad-ass attitude.

The inspiration for the punchy drum rhythm was always Marilyn Manson's song "The Beautiful People" - but with a slightly more laid-back tempo. At first Simon wrote a guitar riff meant to be *similar* to Manson's, without actually listening to Manson's song to refresh his memory of it. This proved to be a mistake because when actually listening to Manson's song, the riff for the Payday track turned out to be *exactly* the same as Manson's. Simon rewrote the riff and the track was finished.

The track was never used in any trailer for Payday, but the attitude of the track was so "right" that it had to end up in the game somehow... And it fit like a glove in the "heist successful" screen!

In the game, this is a ~40 second loop - but for the soundtrack version, the track has been expanded upon with additional guitars and drum elements. Simon's long-time friend and music collaborator Henrik Anréus provides the solo guitar that kicks in at the end of the track.

BONUS! If you purchase the entire album you get remix material for this track!
