The Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (MGR) soundtrack features some of the most iconic vocal boss songs in modern gaming, mainly composed by Jamie Christopherson. These tracks are known for their energetic blend of metal, electronic, and rock elements, often with thematically rich lyrics that underscore the game’s narrative and character arcs[1].
The main “souls” or vocal boss themes from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance include:
- Rules of Nature
- I’m My Own Master Now
- A Stranger I Remain
- The Hot Wind Blowing
- The Stains of Time
- Red Sun
- The Only Thing I Know For Real
- Collective Consciousness
- It Has to Be This Way
Each song is associated with a major boss fight and is tailored to reflect the personality, philosophy, or backstory of the boss. For example, “The Only Thing I Know For Real” underscores Jetstream Sam’s internal struggle, while “It Has to Be This Way” emphasizes the climactic conflict between Raiden and Senator Armstrong[1].
Key vocalists and musicians involved include Tyson Yen, Jimmy Gnecco, John Bush, and Graeme Cornies, with instrumental contributions from Aaron Kaplan, Graeme Cornies, and others[3][5]. The vocal tracks and their remixes are available on various platforms, including official releases and fan-made compilations[6][2].
