(DmC: Devil May Cry) - Combichrist - 'No Redemption'

VIDEO GAME (DMC: DEVIL MAY CRY)

Part 2 of DmC soundtrack: the industrial metal. It's pretty heavy and great for the hack-and-slash mood of the video game. I'm a fan of heavily distorted guitar triplets. There is a fuller version with lyrics and introduction riiiight HERE.

(DmC: Devil May Cry) - Noisia - 'Devil's Dalliance'

VIDEO GAME (DMC: DEVIL MAY CRY)

DmC's soundtrack is a combination of dubstep and metal. This is a favorite track in the dubstep category. Something about dubstep adds bada**ery to this hack-and-slash video game. But perhaps that's just the stereotype dubstep has on society. "Bada**ery."

The song's mood changes towards the end at 4:02. Good job, Noisia.

Ex Cops - 'White Noise'

ALTERNATIVE POP ROCK

High energy bouncing. Instrumentally, the track adds full instrumental tracks on top of on another. And the fierce vocals will have you pushing for more.

Daggers. Downtown Records. 2013.

ARMS - 'Comfort'

POP ROCK

A popping snare and an acoustic guitar beneath cycling electric guitars. Interesting crystal-like synth sounds near the break.

From EP2 (2013) by Paper Garden Records.

No Disco - 'Unnamed Track' #6

COLD WAVE ELECTRONIC 

Gloomy synths with quick tempos. Vocals croon haunting, heartbreaking lyrics. Could be better mixed, but I can see how the current mixing job may fit the overall mood of the song. 

"You don't love me. No; not at all. You don't answer when I call. You are hollow when I'm there. I am shallow beyond repair."

(Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon) - Power Glove - 'Power Core'

VIDEO GAME (FAR CRY 3: BLOOD DRAGON)

Deep low ends and high synths. Steady beating bass line with shrill synths.

Total Control - 'Paranoid Video'

ELECTRONIC ROCK POP

Synthy dance music with an overlapping voice of lyrics.

BUDDY BANTER - 'INSANE'

GARAGE ROCK

The intro pounds low ends into your head until you are released by airy hats and steady crunching guitars. Enter phasey guitar.

"When ever I am all alone
 I always seem to drift away
I wish I had a time machine..."

From Paradise Thrillz (2013).

Froth - 'General Education'

GARAGE DREAM ROCK

Twangy guitars and organ-like synths. City dreamscapes.

From Patterns (2013).

JD Samson & MEN - 'Making Art'

ELECTRONIC DEEP HOUSE INDIE POP ROCK

Sweet synthesizers and great electronic house drops paired with vocals. Great dance track.

"...the truth is right on our fingertips..."

From Making Art (2013).

Grouplove - 'Shark Attack'

POP NOISE

Happy, quirky music. Hip-hop and synthpop mixed together in the chorus.

From Spreading Rumors (2013) by Atlantic Records

Midlake - 'The Old And The Young'

LO-FI ROCK

"...a life made of wallow and pain..." This track rides the bass as its foundation. Layers of echo-y synths surround the well decayed vocals. The track slowly thickens with an acoustic guitar and more synths.

From Antiphon (2013)

Midlake Website

STRFKR - 'Golden Light'

INDIE POP ROCK GAZE

Very chill synths with a heavy bass track. Inevitable grooving.
