A heavy metal soundtrack fit for a game where you play as a futuristic metal-gear-wearing sword-wielding samurai. The game uses a blend of electronic rock and metal, mixed with coarse vocals and metalic-like sounds to fit fast-paced, hack and slash combat.
The tracks are also dynamically integrated with the gameplay, meaning the tracks evolve during battle, often starting out instrumentally before incorporating vocals when the player gains an upper hand. Two good example of this are:
Another example is how the start of The Only Thing I Know for Real (Maniac Agenda Mix) is synced to the opponent's attack pattern in the boss battle against Samuel. The solo is kick-ass an the lyrics go hard with the gameplay, especially this part:
There Will Be...
Blood...
Shed!
Red Sun (Maniac Agenda Mix) starts with a kick-ass guitar riff, setting up for another great boss battle theme.
The final battle of the game is set to the amazing track: It Has to Be This Way (Platinum Mix).
