Noisia and Combichrist to Score Devil May Cry




Capcom has revealed that the soundtrack for its upcoming reboot of hack and slash franchise Devil May Cry will be composed by Noisia and Combichrist.

Both of them have composed brand new tracks that will play during cinematics and gameplay, while Combichrist have also given permission for their back-catalogue to be used.


“ I had a lot of fun digging myself into Dante’s psyche in order to create music to match the battle scenes and am equally as excited to license existing Combichrist music.


Speaking about the experience, Noisia said, "We had great freedom but were also bound by certain criteria typical in the game world. These are challenging boundaries (for example; consistency in sonics over 180 minutes of music) but also lots of space in terms of dynamics and progression and instrumentation being able to create soundscapes without having to worry about holding the attention of a dancefloor."

Formed in 2002, Noisia are a Dutch electronic music trio specialising in dubstep and drum and bass who have regularly remixed for some of the biggest names in music, from Katy Perry to Skrillex.  Combichrist is a Norwegian industrial rock band, who recently spent a year supporting Rammstein on their North American tour.

Lead singer Andy LePlegua revealed, "As an avid gamer myself I was honored to be asked to work on this project. I had a lot of fun digging myself into Dante’s psyche in order to create music to match the battle scenes and am equally as excited to license existing Combichrist music."

Due out in January 2013, DmC: Devil May Cry reimagines the origin story of Dante, the protagonist from the previous titles in the franchise, in a contemporary world.  If you can't wait, check out one of Noisia's offerings over on Soundcloud now.
