    Actual fun fact: the author of Revengeance soundtrack Jamie Christopherson had no metal music experience before tackling Metal Gear Rising. His forte is orchestral and electronic music and he had to make MGRs metal soundtrack while learning about it himself. And he absolutely killed it.

    So another person commented that Jamie Christopherson composed for MGR with no prior metal experience, only classical and electronic. Fun fact about that is, people who listen to metal, and people who listen to classical, have something neat in common. The brain reacts the same when listening to metal, as it does when listening to classical. Classical used to be what is essentially metal today (In regards to how some people viewed it, like it being the "Devil's music", etc)
