Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has an incredibly powerful, energetic final boss theme, and one of the best lyric-based music tracks in a video game I've ever heard. Bonus points because it is super relevant to what is happening in the story and between the two characters duking it out.

"vocals only" version, with the track edited in a music editor to mostly mute the music
the actual fight itself, which, if you've never seen MGR:R, is kinda of amazing in every way


The best part of the MGR:R boss battles/themes is that the lyrics only come in when poo poo gets serious. Plus the HONORABLE SAMURAI DUEL inverts it by having the lyrics dip out when you knock away Jetstream Sam's sword.

And yes, in case you somehow didn't know the final boss of MGR:R is basically literally Dick Cheney and his pacemaker is what gives him super powers. I'm not even loving with you.

The second part of Ludwig the Accursed from Bloodborne is one of my favorite pieces of game music ever

it's so loud, epic and creepy - perfectly fitting when fighting this huge horse with his holy moonlight sword

nsfw

wait, no, i found a better picture



I know that Ludwig and the Hunters Nightmare in general have a lot of strong ties to the Asian mythology about hell. So Ludwig having the horse head makes sense, plus the lakes of blood, etc.
