I'm adding this to my "songs to never play while driving or I'll actually die" playlist.

I don't know how he survived that horrible crash, or where he's going next" He just barged into a race and killed a bunch of people. He's going to jail.

its frustrating how underrated TWRP is

I blows me away that they got The Protomen

With The Protomen joining TWRP on their musical journey through the cosmos, my dream of hearing a Dan Avidan and Raul Panther III vocal duel grow ever closer.

I'll pay for an animation of this. Just point me in a direction for a video so I can throw my wallet.

*_THE COLLAB EVERYONE WANTED_*

I NEED a music video or animation of this!!

If this guy had a podracer, he'd be a real phantom menace.

We got starlight brigade animated.. could this be next in time for the TWRP + Protomen tour?

After watching Starlight Brigade and Starbomb's Overwatch parody I can't help but feel that Knights of the Light Table would provide just as perfect a rendition of this as the former by merit of Starlight Brigade alone. Seriously a video for this would be amazing.

Mystery driver has to be Ninja Brian

_It’s a beautiful evening here as we get ready to start the race!_ _The drivers are at the line and it looks like we’re almost set._ _Racers, start your engines._ _Go!_ _What’s this? A mystery car has just entered the race, and he’s coming from behind like a bullet!_ Can’t slow down this time, I gotta rev it up and go. I gotta keep it in the lines, Tonight there’s blood on the road. I keep the pedal down, They're gonna know how this felt. No one gets into heaven Without racing through hell. Eye for eye, Lap for lap, There’s no turning back. _And he’s caught them! That’s one hell of a driver!_ (You’ve got to slow down,) Feels like my blood is running hot, (The needle’s in the red.) Give me everything you’ve got. I can’t escape The blood and steel. Death behind the wheel! _I can’t believe what I’m seeing! In a shocking turn of events, the mystery car seems to be picking off each racer one by one!_ _I wouldn’t want to be out on that track tonight, this driver is out for blood..._ Burning up the road, I’ve got ‘em dead in my sight. And when the rubber meets the bone, There’ll be vengeance tonight. Hear the crowd roar. Calling for blood, Begging for more! (Faster!) I can hear my heart beating (Faster!) Like a piston in my chest! (Faster!) I’m a phantom racer, Justice in a steel machine of death! (Faster!) I’ll be right behind you, (Faster!) Over and over again! (Faster!) I was born to race, (Faster!) I would die to win! _We’re down to two cars now! Like a man possessed, he’s murdered every other racer and seems to be zeroing in on first place!_ _The remaining car is speeding down the straightaway like he’s being chased by the devil himself!_ _In an incredible burst of speed, the mystery driver has rammed the first place car from behind and seems to be pushing him forward!_ _The lead racer is clearly slamming on the brakes, but the two of them show no signs of slowing down at all!_ _There’s no way they’ll make this next turn at that speed!_ _I can’t bear to watch!_ _Out of the flames comes the mystery driver..._ _I don’t know how he survived that horrible crash, or where he’s going to next._ _But I can’t help thinking there’s something strangely familiar about that car..._ (Faster!) I can feel my heart beating (Faster!) Like a piston in my chest! (Faster!) I’m a phantom racer, Justice in a steel machine of death! (Faster!) I’ll be right behind you, (Faster!) Over and over again! (Faster!) ‘Cause I was born to race! I would die to win! (Faster!) ‘Cause I’m a phantom racer! (Faster!) ‘Cause I’m a steel machine of death! (Faster!) (Born to race) (Phantom racer) I’d die to win! (Faster!) ‘Cause I’m a phantom racer! (Faster!) (Faster!) I can hear my heart beat faster and faster and... (Born to race, die to win) (Faster!)

This song is absolutely dangerous on the treadmill. The machine can't go fast enough, and neither can my heart. My body doesn't know this.

Racers: trying to compete in a normal race.* Some random dude: I'm about to end these men whole career

Songs with Arin never disappoint

OFFICER I WAS TOO BUZY VIBING TO SEE THE STOPLIGHT I PROMISE

TWRP and The Protomen collaborating was an actual dream come true for me. I'm still blown away that this was a thing.

I always like to imagine this song as F-Zero. Just how fast paced it is and how brutal F-Zero really is. I imagine Captain Falcon is killing off all of these racers for bounty, as he is a bounty hunter. If I ever had the chance to animate something it would be this. So many ideas.

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, so I gotta say it. How freaking appropriate is it that they got The Protomen to collab on this one? We have a song here that is clearly a homage to Racer X from Speed Racer, a character which defined the "mysterious rival that's actually a long lost brother" trope that Capcom homaged when creating Protoman! We've come full circle here people!

Once I found out this was inspired by the 1986 movie "The Wraith", I had to watch it... and I wasn't disappointed, as epic as the epic ass song.

Someone needs to do a speed racer style animation of this

This is the theme song of the Stig.

The announcer sounded a lot like Arnold Handsome from the Grumpy Gamers.

Is that Arin Hansen as the announcer?

This is the song Jack Black and Kyle sang to the devil.

So I see that Ninja Brian’s driver’s license test went as expected.

TWRP + The Protomen + Egoraptor = My Speed Racer fever dream

This is my headcannon soundtrack to all of those 80's racing episodes like Scooby Doo

I have been absolutely obsessed with The Protomen, they’ve redefined my music taste, and now that I know about this song, TWRP is getting added to my obsession list

This song is going to be responsible for 90% of my speeding tickets.

Got hooked on The Protomen from this song... My only regret is I haven't listened to them sooner. Please let TWRP and The Protomen tour together next year 😁🤞🤞

This really should be a lyrics video :D Arin announcing is the best thing. The part when he says 'CHASED BY THE DEVIL HIMSELF! IN AN INCREDIBLE BURST OF SPEED' fills me with adrenaline!!

I am an alpine snowboard racer and this is my favorite song to race to!!!

When I hear this I think of animated music video with the style of the movie Redline.

Man, this song is a story It deserves an animated music video

just as i was starting to get into TWRP a few years ago, my english teacher at the time asked us to take out our journals and write our thoughts as she played music. this was the first song that she played and since i was still just getting into TWRP i hadn’t heard it before. a few months later i ended up listening to the entire Together Through Time album and i heard this song again. i knew it sounded familiar at that point so i took out my journal to see if it was and low and behold when i find the entry i see i had written the words “i’m a phantom racer” throughout it. so now when i listen to this song i think of that teacher and i get really happy.

At first i thought this was a wholesome song about helping someone win then after a few listens i realized what it actually was lol

I listen to this in my Prius going 20 under the speed limit on a busy one lane road.

Hearing this live at Florida was an absolutely INCREDIBLE finisher. I still think that all night forever was a perfect finish, but I was still happy to hear both bands singing this.

I love how the tire squealing mixes with “I can’t bare to watch!” It works so good, I love this song ❤️

My sister showed me this song yesterday because she knew I would love it. She was super right. Makes me feel *alive.*

One of my favorite tracks from this album! Driving with it on is dangerous...gotta keep an eye on the speedometer.

The races are corrupt and everyone but the wannabe stars knows it. The top ten racers have been deciding who wins every year for ages now and any contender who manages to get there by pure skill gets taken out before they finish their second lap. The races have always been dangerous so nobodies held liable for the occasional accidental death. Just look at last year when they took out that home grown hero who'd made it all the way through the minor leagues in just a year and a half to challenge the big boys. He never even knew what hit him when they slammed him into that wall. Killed that kids dreams and thought they killed the rest of him to, turns out they thought wrong. Sure a burning wreck doesn't leave a lot of room for recovery but when you have that passion for the sport and a bloodlust based in revenge for being cheated out of a legitimate victory it's amazing what you can overcome. Now hes back to show them real racing and get even. No matter how good they are at rigging the game against poor kids who still believe they can't stand up to someone with real skills and a deathwish.

Isn't it obvious? Doctor Sung came from the same vicious future the Protomen did, that's how he got them

TWRP should have at least 50 times more views than they get because they are probably the best band i've herd yet.

Speed Racer, Initial D, Oban Star Racers, Red Line. RACE!

You guys are so underrated

I love this so much. It's like Kenny Loggins and Wham! collaborated on a Speed Racer theme song.

Can't get enough of this song while I'm driving

I NEED A FULL TWRP PROTOMEN COLLAB ALBUM RIGHT THE HELL NOW

This needs to be a music video. I crave it. My loins yearn for it. I'm half chubbing

And they say Infinity War was the most ambitious crossover event of all time

Another song worthy of an anime. You guys are sitting on a friggen untapped gold mine. Get your fancy animators on this, stat!

this song is really unbelievably good

Dr. Sung's "you gotta slow down" Is something out of this world I swear

Speed Racer OST

Awwwww I was super looking forward to a Speed Racer style animated video

Why have i only just discovered this song? It's amazing!

I adore the new new feature that allows you to see which part of the song is the most replayed, and I see the bar and I know damn well its the drop.

The Phantom Racer was actually Joe on his way to the tower

Recently discovered TWRP and it blows my mind how good these guys are, freaking amazing.

One of my favourite TWRP songs.

I made one of the major NPCs of my spelljammer DND campaign based off this song, Redline, F-Zero, and Speed Racer's Racer X and Protoman himself but this song was the main inspiration and they're one of my favorite characters

Starlight Brigade is great, but for my money this is the true highlight of the album.

This song is pretty dang epic I gotta say

Arin Hanson, TWRP, and The Protomen? This song combo is BUCKWILD.

The pace of the music expertly captures the energy of a race. I'm amazed at the skill it took them to make this song.

I would kill for Knights of the Light Table (they're the animators of Starlight Brigade, right?) to animate a video for this.

A little late coming into the fandom but this is such a badass song. Its giving me The Tubes kind of vibes with the storytelling.

I casually hit 130mph with this song playing...need to take it off the playlist

To think that this was supposed to be an instrumental

Out of things i was expecting. It was not a protomen colab with TWRP. I didnt even know the Protomen still played i used to listen to a couple of their albums nearly daily a few years ago.

You can't lose a race if you're the only racer left alive at the end.

I was obsessed with this album for a whole month and loved every second of it.

Props to that slick narrator, you go man. Also love the song

My second favourite song in this album

Saw these guys a couple days ago in buffalo and during this song, Doctor Sung turned to Raul Panther iii and said "But I cant help but feel like this Lead Singer looks familiar..." and everyone lost it lmao

TWRP, the night flight orchestra, thunder mother.... 3 amazing, AMAZING underrated bands. common, listen to this song!

So amazing how this turned from an instrumental to a song with lyrics.

No one gets in to heaven *without racing through hell*

If this gets animated the Phantom Racer's car needs to look like a cross between the Batmobile and the Mach 5 but with F-Zero aesthetics.

I got to see this song live. Life changing experience.

It always pumps me up when I'm working out, I hope I don't get tired of it.

Some innocent guy with a family: "Ah yes, what a fine day to go driving... Why do I hear boss music?"

This is so emotionally charged and powerful, that to call this a song is a disservice. THIS IS ART

Imagine at the end of the song as the car survived the crash and the hoods paint is burned off and you see M and it was the mach 6

I’m angry at myself for not coming across this song sooner. It’s fucking beautiful. Its glory makes me want to cry. I can feel the mystery drivers anger and despair through that amazing singing. And the bit where the announcer is describing the impending crash gives me chills. The music is perfect the whole way though. Well done.

Listening to this song makes me wonder, if in an actual racing event like NASCAR, what would the race organizers do if an unauthorized car suddenly entered the race and started wiping out the other drivers? What security measures do they have to prevent something like that from happening?

oh this song gets me fired up.

I have imagined an entire animated video for this

TWRP *AND* THE PROTOMEN?! HOW HAVE I NOT FOUND THIS SOONER?!

If there is ever a sonic adventure 3 this is the theme for the first level

Act III ft. TWRP when?

I can only imagine the phantom racer to be none other than the Dale Earnhardt himself, coming back to win one more time

I can't believe this only came out in May. I feel like I've always known this song.

Pro tip: play this while playing Mario Cart, it will fill you with the spirit of the Phantom Racer so you can get first place

Now THIS is podracing

I can't be the only one who wants to see this animated rigth
