If there were a new band to replace Combichrist to play the music for the next DmC sequel, who would you want it to be?

For me...

- Within Temptation
- Lacuna Coil
- Haelstrom
or
- Blue Stahli
 
I find rap a bit distracting in games, but I would be down with some Massive Attack. I'd like M83 for some cutscenes/background music, not so much for fight themes. If the soundtrack were to be more rock-based I'd like to see some Queens of the Stone Age or Baroness.
 
I would prefer something along the lines of Hoobastank's "Without a fight"
Unlike the original games, it doesn't cater to 90s boys
Unlike Combichrist, it doesn't cater to edgy emos

It also actually sounds like an adrenaline pumping song that would fit the combat
 
A song like "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire" by Queens of the Stone Age could also work

skip to 0:38 to skip the spoken intro

"Just Like You Imagined" by Nine Inch Nails is good too

Songs like "Death Ramps" and "Matador" by Arctic Monkeys could work as low-key battle themes
 
While I love heavy metal, industrial, and all that jazz, I would love to hear some orchestral tracks as well. One of the biggest disappointments for me when I played DmC was the lack of huge, grandiose, load orchestra music playing during an intense, epic, and awesome moment, something that Devil May Cry 3 capitalized on heavily, if not to a fault. Something like this, I'd say, particularly at the 2:3o mark.
