Add to this more than a few touches of industrial/techstep influence in tracks like 'The Order' and 'Disoriented' and you have something very distinct that nearly rivals 'Max Payne 3 Official Soundtrack' (the soundtrack I awarded Best of 2012). 'Eyeless,' 'Home Truths,' and 'The Tower' all feature calm, dark atmospherics which are surprisingly enjoyable without context of story. Noisia, both as a band and as the composers of this soundtrack, are at their best when they stick to the ambient, synth-fueled sounds, and DMC has its fair share of these. It is clear that Noisia strove to create a similar feel with 'DMC Devil May Cry' but it's not always as successful as they would like. Health's noise rock sound managed to perfectly fit the game's story, while providing an equally accessible narrative of its own, outside of the game.
Last year, ' Max Payne 3' set the standard for band-exclusive video game soundtracks.
