This song is all about Raiden realising the patheticness of humanity and how susceptible we all are to influence, saying we're all just cogs is a perfect metaphor for humanity, we don't stop, we just keep going. It's Raiden reflecting on himself and humanity It also speaks about Raiden himself and his reminiscence of his old life and desire for that past to never have happened. They're both trying to make history, just in their own way Also about how Raiden followed his lust for revenge to Armstrong/Desperado but Armstrong carved his own way. MG Excelsus' is Raiden's thoughts of Armstrong and his ideals along with Raiden's thoughts of the outcry to the fake Pakistan incident, he saw a unified response, so a 'collective consciousness' was on his mind that Armstrong was enforcingĪrmstrong's is Raiden finally realising Armstrong and himself agree, but with different methods, but for those different methods, they must fight. Sam's is all about him losing his heroic vigilante identity when he joined Desperado and wondering if he's gone insane staying with them so long/never knowing why he fights for them The guitarist (Misha Mansoor) even has some FF7. Periphery - Sentient Glow - This band is heavily influenced by game OSTs. Celldweller - Unshakeable - Always reminded me of some fire themed factory level like Flame Mammoths stage. Either Raiden's Jack The Ripper personality co-existing with him or Monsoon's war-torn heritage and its remains on him Metal Gear Rising OST - Red Sun - Come to think of it, this game plays a lot like a AAA 3D MMX game with Zero.
Featuring artists Celldweller, Scandroid, Circle of Dust, The Anix, Raizer, LeBrock, Fury Weekend. Monsoon's is contentious since it can be both him and Raiden. Official Store of FIXT Radium, FiXT Neon, and FiXT Noir.
Wolf's is about his desire to escape, survive, learn and eventually be free along with his AI being one of a pack Mistral's is all about her French/Algerian heritage and her search for a worthy cause Sundowner's is all about where he came from and technological advances ruining nature Every fight theme/significant song means something either about Raiden, the events surrounding them, or the villain's backstory
