Writing Music/Inspiration – Dante vs Seven Hells Battle (Devil May Cry 3)

9/8/2016

Devil May Cry 3 is one of my favourite games for a lot of reasons. The soundtrack in particular is one I listened to probably the most while I was writing the first draft of No More Heroes, and thereafter during the editing process – generally it was battle music while I was slamming out fight scenes, but some of the level music made for a good mood-setter as well. One of my favourite pieces* is the track that plays in Mission 1 where Dante (one of my favourite game characters of all time) faces off against the Seven Hells in his office. Just look at him go.
The devil-may-care mid-fight attitude of Dante was also something I incorporated into one of my characters – if you've read No More Heroes, maybe you can guess who it is.
(Thanks to all those kids that make extended versions of game soundtrack pieces. You're tops.)

Tonally, the battle themes of the Devil May Cry 3 soundtrack are a pretty great match for the action I built into No More Heroes​. If you'd like to check out that action for yourself and maybe listen to some rad DMC3 tunes while you're reading, you can purchase it 
in print or eBook format from Amazon, Kobo or Gumroad.

*My other favourite tracks for writing fights to were for Cerberus, Agni & Rudra, Vergil 1, and  Lady.
