- Published on Jan 17, 2020 veröffentlicht
- Hello, Internet! A small inspiration caught me and I decided to make a villainous rendition of the Vox Machina Animated Intro, "Your Turn To Roll", from the incredible production #CriticalRole!
Huge thank YOU to Ryan Stroemel for helping produce the track. Check out his newest release, "Invincible" here: • Invincible
Another HUGE thank you to my cinematographer and director Ian Fyfe who took the time to put a video together

Lyrics:
Roll! (Critical)
Roll! (Critical)
Roll! (Critical)
Roll! (Critical)
Roll! (Critical)
Roll! (Critical)
As your adventure begins
I would like to remind you, and
Your nerdy best friends
That I'm always behind you
As I walk through the flames in the battles ahead
Heroes beware 'cause you're 'bout to be dead!
(Correct amount of villainous laughter)
You got magic and flair
You got falchions and cunning
Take a look over there
I've got monsters incoming
Devastation is waiting
You better think twice
Put your fate in your hands
Take a chance, roll the dice
(Dope guitar)
You have witness to bear
As my legend unfolds
I hope you've given your best
Now it's my turn (my turn)
To roll! 
Music
So essentially this is Matt's theme song. I love it.
Not Matt… but Matt’s evil mirror universe counterpart. The bald one with a ravishing and flowing moustache.
More like Sam to Matt
"How do I wanna do this?"
I want to see this animated as if its from Matt's perspective.
Plank King, Avontika, etc
@DJOS An interesting take for this transition would be to have Lorenzo's killing strike against Molly turn into Yasha stabbing Beau with Obann looming behind her. It would make for a cool parallel, especially as Matt described Yasha's attack to invoke the same imagery as Molly's death.
Edit: Then, to combine both yours and Lock's vision, it could transition to Ukatoa's servant pulling the sword out of Fjord!
@Hostile_Prof Yes, Absolutely, That!
@Lock Skelington end with the current villain, with essek behind them. But have Matt's hands in the sky puppeteering
Matt isn't a villain though...
I think this could work a little better:
Your fate's in my hands.
You've no chance. Roll your dice.
Yesss I hope they see this!
got no choice, roll the dice!
Can't wait for a villain that would challenge the m9 as much as Obann did and beyond.
I got hell of good news for you
**monkey’s paw curls**
I'm looking forward to this campaign's version of the Chroma Conclave, an enemy that kicks the door off it's hinges flips everything on it's head and says "run"
As you answer my call, I'll devour your souls, so watch your friends fall, Now it's MY TURN TO ROLL!!
Ok I see you, I see you
I have always said there are not enough villain songs. Nice.
Good sir, this is an amazing piece. Has anyone sent it to Matt and the rest of the cast yet?
🤷♂️ no clue lol
Love how much this guy reminds me of Brian Foster
Leah, its a cursed mannerism that develops in some of us
He strokes his facial hair like brian haha
The truest BBEG of critical roll
I had to do a double take thinking it was him
Oh my goodness, stop, Brian is my favorite.
So anyone else hoping this guy makes more songs like this? Ones that are sung from different views, like theres so many songs that could be sung from a different view and it would still hold just as much power. This is just amazing and shows his talent
Evil beware, they have cupcakes
Jester has only used that powder twice I think, so still has several doses of it.
Those cupcakes are no joke. Tieflings will ruin you with 'em.
I feel like this would work really well as Vecna's theme
this makes me want a filler episodes where all their enemies are in a party
I WANT THEM TO SEE THIS SO BAD
Very well done! I actually like it better than the original, then again I'm a metalhead so that is to be expected.
The Chained Oblivion Approves.
This guy actually gets it.
Oh blessed void
Has Matt seem this? It's pretty awesome. Shame it isn't longer.
Sam: Hey roll some dice
Me: Oh yeah baby, roll those bones
Villain: Roll some dice
Me: Well now I’m not doing it
I know I'm almost 1 year late, but this is crazy !
@AnAxe&Two38s Can you put the guitar tab for this? It would be very cool
@YdraK I've been stewing on an original Yasha track I just don't have the vocals to really get what I want out of it so we'll see
@AnAxe&Two38s You should do more things like that and I think that you deserve a lot more of subscribers
Dears gods I had no idea its been almost a year
Like my critter squealed, but as like a player....my want to be part of the hero side wants to gear up! lol Awesome work sir. I sing bass and want to add my voice to the bottom of yours....make it sound more evil...
SPOILERS
Molly’s new theme song.
True though! So true. I hope you have a great day!
Not bad! Can we get Mat to cover this please? 🤣❤️
Auto subtitles did kill me in the beginning „your dirty best friends“ - no reason to insult caleb like that 🤣
I imagine this playing in Matts head whenever he rolls for an NPC or Boss. Love it!
Isharnai, the Terror in Ivory, Uk'otoa [Uk'otoaaa], the Chained Oblivion, doors, and chairs: *smiles and hisses of approval*
Don’t forget cabinets. Just watched the stowaway episode in which the Nein (and Twiggy) fought a cabinet in the Happy Fun Ball of Tricks
@hammatron Sure.
isn't it nightmare in ivory? also dont forget ickythong and vokodo
@Soroth23 (Spoilers)
They are dead tho
Don't forget Lorenzo and the iron Shepards.
Ok this is badass & amazing.
I did get quite a laugh out of (correct amount of villainous laughter) in the lyrics in the description, lol.
Is there anyway this could be put on Spotify?
Listening to this is spiking my adrenaline and I really want to listen to this while working out.
@AnAxe&Two38s fair point. But still, good shit dude. Good on you.
Well considering that this is a cover, that also musically quotes another artist's work as well, I would rather not put it there until I have permission.
The best part of this for me is the change of inflection on "monsters incoming" it really sells the mad villain vibe.
Essentially the theme for every DM in this world
You sir, deserve my like.
I'd love for the Halloween show to open with this song.
Aaaah this is so cool!! I got chills!!
I always felt like a great "villain cover" from the M9 intro would be strictly the same song, but with a very sassy tone and attitude... This slaps too, tho!
Very well done. I'm glad I came across it. Perfect for Matt.
Well done! I like the small but significant changes done. Would be cool if you made a metal cover for the original as well.
We need a CR villain one shot now
This. Is. Awesome.
I can't believe it took me over a year to find this but this is AWESOME!!!! I pray to Gygax that the CR team has seen this. If not, SOMEONE SEND IT TO THEM!!!! OMG!!!!!!!
oh my god this is so good, thank you for making this!!!
The algorithm just showed me this and I am hyped! This was a brilliant take on 'Your turn to Roll'.
High marks all around.
I NEED this on spotify!
How did I not find this sooner, great song mate
Who knew this would fit the current Mighty Nein's campaign?
I can see Matt and Brennan dueting this!
THIS IS DOPE 👏👏👏👏
I had to do a double take at the beginning because I was like “Wait, is that Brian?”
Vecna, Obann, The Briarwoods, Thordak, The Chained Oblivion, Avantika and Lorenzo like this.
Bravo! Great cover!!!
Could you imagine A BBEG who has a few levels in Bard break this out at the start of the fight to demoralize the party and give his monsters inspiration.
Cute! I love it
Nice. Love it!
That crescendo at the end I pictured Molly dying.
With a bloody spit at the peak.
I pictured that as well, and when the weapons removed i imagined everything changing so it was fyord being stabbed and the okatoa minion who killed
so, um. yeah this is pretty badass haha. a nice 70s hard rock mashup of "your turn to roll." nicely done
It's 2022. Did ANYONE sent this amazing cover to Matt and CR???
Bloody Marvelous. loved this
Literal chills, this is amazing
Could you pin the lyrics or add them to the video description?
Also, impressive falsetto.
AnAxe&Two38s I appreciate “correct amount of villainous laughter” not just “villainous laughter.
And it really is true. Not too much or too little. It’s the little things one doesn’t pay attention to that makes the difference.
Lyrics are updated
AnAxe&Two38s I don’t have a lot of followers- I mostly retweet stuff and tell artists I like their work. But hopefully the hashtag will get it seen
@ambiej123 not all heroes wear capes! And yes the reddit is me, but i dont have social media presence so thank you for sharing it to the twitter mob!
AnAxe&Two38s great! Also, I tweeted the video to Matt and Sam. I found this on Reddit. Not sure if the reddit was you and/or if you have twitter.
love this!
I loved that it was amazing.
Ok...that was BAD ASS!
I LOVE IT!!!!!
Bloody hell i got creeps man. Awesome work
So were starting our evil campaign tonight and this popped up I can happily say that this is our theme song
Sharing the heck out of this cause its so gorgeous
Yaaayyy! So excited
So, this warmed my heart
Put your fate in your hands
Take a chance, roll the dice
Nah, here's a better Villainous version:
Your fate's in my hands
For I hold the dice!
He sounds like an angry rock pirate!! 😂
This is amazing
AnAxe&Two38s uno reverse card
No you
Very nice!
Not bad, very creative getting the other side of the viewpoint!
its now my ritual to watch this after the CR intro when i watch the new episodes lol
All hail, the darkness
Awesome!
If it was players beware instead of evil beware that would make it perfect but still love it
@AnAxe&Two38s ah miss heard then. That's what I get for late night listening
Its actually heroes beware😉😁
I love this version, but it pains me to hear that despite all the care that went into recording and making this, the guitar track is too loud and the vocals are sometimes unintelligible
brilliant loveing it :D
Both my Rock loving husband I approve. What a great job. @SamRiegal Will love this.
@AnAxe&Two38s and may you always be bless by Malora
A blessing on both your houses
Well that was fucking epic.
This is fucking lit!!! You realy feel the evil!
Solid song, a little too derivative of the original, but I've seen a lot of great suggestions in the comments for some new lines.
Definetly would say good job on this though personally not a fan. The music is just... i want to say chaotic, like its trying to do too much at once and just doesn't appeal to at least me though not sure if others feel the same. Definetly good word choice to mix up the original intro into a villains intro
One of the occasions that "like" doesn't do it justice. I love this.
Why am i discovering this gem so late!?
To all my downvotes I want you to know I still love you. Whenever you're ready, I'm here for you♡♡
I think those people just hit the wrong button
Darth Vader voice: Impressive. Most Impressive.
This is basically DM’s version of the song
So, it is now 27.10.2021, over year later. Now on my watch I can see 18:50. I'm preparing to DM today for my players. Yes, I looped this song.
Go forward with mischief in your heart
this is pretty cool
Very cool! Thank you
The ones that are watching the players and rooting for their victory our singing the original, while those few amougst the crowd are chanting this one. For they wish for suffering. For death. And misery.
Marius, is that you? Have you finally snapped? xD
i need more. MORE I SAY!!!
This fuckin slaps
And I love it
When it’s Vecna’s turn in combat
Enjoyed, but was really hoping for some evil laughter at the end.
The BBEG theme song
Cool!! 😆
Love how the original is allowed but this rendition is banned on school computers. I love the school’s logic. -_-
Matt Mercer needs to see this video
TPK: The Theme Song
Nice!
"Now it's my tuuuuurn... to ROOOOOOOO- Nat 1? FUCK!"
this is cool as shit
Not bad 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yes. Thank you.
