Your bedraggled forces stared at the sheer carnage before them, thinking back over the bloodshed and battle tactics that had led them this far in the fight against the vile forces of Shakram. One great skirmish remained, and the fate of Elysium stood in the balance.
They fought bravely, with the inspiration of the most famous Mercenary leaders lifting their banners like a proud wind, and one by one, they fell in the fight.
The Ring of Ruin roared, and as the bouts and victories of the past weeks faded into a memory that blurred with each passing second, those who still stood shared two unified thoughts… “Are we destined to do it again?” and “Maybe this time will set us free.”

In a groundbreaking partnership, Gala Music is proud to facilitate Macy Gray‘s web3 music debut in celebration of Pride Month 2024. Marking a significant milestone for both Macy Gray and Big Freedia, we’re bringing the empowering message of Pride together with the innovative spirit of web3 technology and the lively beats of Bounce music.
Macy Gray Makes her Way into Web3

With ten studio albums and a Grammy Award to her name, Gray’s entry into web3 signifies a new era for her illustrious career.
Joining Forces with Big Freedia for “I AM”
Macy Gray‘s first web3 release is called “I AM,” a collaboration with Big Freedia, the Queen of Bounce music. This bass-pounding, booty-shaking anthem is a celebration of self-acceptance and individuality. The track’s powerful message, “I AM WHO I AM,” encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and be proud of who they are.
Released on June 12th, “I AM” is already making waves on Gala Music.
Paul Oakenfold is an English record producer and trance DJ who has crafted remixes for some of the biggest names in music, solidifying his place in the electronic music world. Known for his work with countless top tier artists like U2 and Madonna, Paul Oakenfold’s Gala Music exclusive remix of “I AM” is available now, with only 100 NFTs up for grabs.
This collaboration is more than just a music release; it’s a celebration of diversity, inclusion and the power of music to bring people together. As part of Pride Month 2024, “I AM” embodies the spirit of acceptance and pride in one’s identity, resonating with the LGBTQ+ community and allies worldwide.
A Hot Gala Summer Ahead
Macy Gray’s partnership with Gala Music is just the beginning. This summer promises to be filled with exciting new releases, exclusive All Access experiences, live performances and unique opportunities. Stay tuned as Gala Music continues to revolutionize the music industry with its innovative platform and empowering artist collaborations.
Listen to “I AM” now and join us in celebrating this historic moment in web3 music and Pride Month 2024.
Great battles have been fought. Some won, some not. In Elysium, however, neither victory or defeat are forever. The paradox goes on, and great warriors must once again vie for power and the Ring itself.
What will you change this time? How will your strategy differ? Will you rise or fall?
Alex: I’ve always been more of a fan of rising than falling… but maybe that’s just me.
Emma: Yes, success is sweet. I will choose that one.
Alex: Wise as always Emma. You have any epic battles worthy of song this time?
Emma: Certainly, pyromaniacal one. Most interesting to you would probably be me bringing down your friend Torsten in one hit at the Dimension Ruins.
Alex: Ooh ho! Indeed, worth of a shanty! Just let me warm up my pipes BWAHAHAHA!!!
Emma: Singing for later, boom man. It is time to review the greatest Captains of Season 4!
Conquest: The Victorious
All great fights across Elysium always end with The Ring. Captains fight across the whole of the world for control of the strange ruins that seem to trap us within this paradox. Warriors leave it all on the field, knowing that every Conquest of The Ring is a do or die moment… their one chance to hold the great power at the heart of Eylsium.

Most Powerful Captains
The true warlords across Elysium build their forces deliberately, steadily and constantly. They cultivate skilled Mercenaries, craft and improve the best gear, and develop their fortress to an impregnable level. Unlike the victorious at conquest, this measure of a Captain’s worth doesn’t take their team into account. Battle Power doesn’t lie. Here’s the top Captains in Season 4:

Arena Victors
Elite soldiers and numbers may protect you in the field, but the Arena leaves nowhere to hide. Your Mercenaries must fight it out with only their skill, gear and squad tactics. How did your team fare this season? Did you favor the correct warriors, or did you languish in defeat?

Season 5 Is Coming!
Alex: 🎼I sailed the great sea, searching every wave…
Emma: I still don’t believe that it is singing time pirate.
Alex: 🎶 but there never was enough thrill for me.
Emma: –I see that my opinion does not change yours.
Alex: 🎵But then I saw mighty Emma melt down Tor-sten, in bat-tle… in…stant…ly!!!🎶

Alex: Well thank you Emma. I was a bit concerned that the disembodied voice wasn’t going to give me enough time to fin–
You’re right Alex! That’s all we have time for before we have to get ready for the start of Season 5!
