(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.

(Silent Hill 4: The Room) Akira Yamaoka - 'Resting Comfortably'

VIDEO GAME (SILENT HILL 4: THE ROOM)

Ah... The staple ambient music of Silent Hill. This piece is well mixed in that it has depth. It isn't flat. That may be because of the delays. This track is welcomed under the stressful strategic horror tasks this game is known for.

(Corpse Party: Blood Covered) - Mao Hamamoto - 'Sound Of Bell'

VIDEO GAME (CORPSE PARTY: BLOOD COVERED)

Screeching violins mixed with ambient sounds. Ominous soundtrack to a creepy story line. 

(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.

Akira Yamaoka - 'Devil's Laughter' ( from Silent Hill: Shattered Memories)

VIDEO GAME

Akira Yamaoka combines ambient, sound effects, and hip-hop in many of his Silent Hill tracks. This is one of his more frightening tracks from Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. 

I've also included a link to Akira Yamaoka – Angel's Scream.

Mick Gordon - 'Sabrewulf Theme' (from Killer Instinct)

VIDEO GAME

From Killer Instinct (2013), composer Mick Gordon successfully uses strings in "Sabrewulf Theme" to heighten suspense. The percussion panning completes this track. The track scratching is intentional.
