Soundtrack
The Brutal Orchestra soundtrack was composed by Publio Delgado. Currently it features 41 unique tracks, and includes a variety of different genres and styles. Most enemies, bosses, and areas have their own unique music. One unique thing that appears in some songs is "dynamic" music, where it changes depending on the circumstances present.
