The time has finally come, Combichrist will be releasing their long awaited 'Devil May Cry' soundtrack, entitled ‘No Redemption’, through Out Of Line Music on January 28th 2013.
The creators of 'Devil May Cry', one of the most popular computer game series, could have hardly chosen a more fitting partner to write the soundtrack than the charismatic Andy LaPlegua and his band Combichrist.
The singer, who is very passionate about the game, comments: “As an avid gamer myself I was honoured 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. I’m looking forward playing the finished game when it comes out.”
Personified evil and the dark side of human existence and society have always been central themes in the group’s oeuvre, making them the perfect match for a game that focuses on the origin story of the series protagonist, human-demon-half breed Dante, fighting evil by any means necessary. Fitting the not exactly squeamish nature of the game itself, with the hero not hesitating to make use of his demonic powers and diverse weaponry to reach his goal, Combichrist are unleashing a massive sonic onslaught of aggressive, electronic walls of sound, spiced up with hefty Metalcore elements that complement the game's battle scenes perfectly.
In addition to the standard 13 track CD,‘No Redemption’ will be released as a limited deluxe 2 disc edition also containing a compilation of the 10 Combichrist classics used in the game, alongside 13 new tracks that they exclusively recorded for 'Devil May Cry' which are featured on disc one. This exclusive bonus disc is a perfect introduction to Combichrist's past for the gamers who will be first exposed to the band when they dive into the world of Dante, but also a superb collection of hits for die hard fans!
