Dancing between explosive electronic cluster-bombs and a battle-crying metal aesthetic, the soundtrack to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is almost delusionally badass, but itвЂ™s also some of the most intense game music to ever reach the publicвЂ™s ears. ItвЂ™s a massive mix of industrial, metal and drum nвЂ™ bass that shamelessly admits its over-the-top nature at every possible moment. While most of his past works run the gambit from medieval fantasy warfare like The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth or the kid-friendliness of SurfвЂ™s Up, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a big shift in gears for Christopherson.

Jamie Christopherson, best known as the main contributor to the music for the cult film The Crow: Wicked Prayer, is no stranger to composing the music for video games, though not anything of this variety. It was big, it was ridiculous, it was in-your-face at every possible opportunity. Platinum GamesвЂ™ were notorious for adding a sense of enormous, energized, over-the-top spectacle to their action games (with their critical darlings Bayonetta and Vanquish) and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was no different. Metal Gear Rising might have been the controversial fist-to-face action counterpart to the Metal Gear Solid series, but it earned itself quite a bit of critical acclaim. Review Summary: Metal Gear Rising's soundtrack is absurdly intense, a fever dream of metal/electronic bliss that perfectly complements the game it's in.
