Devil May Cry 3 | CAPCOM | PS2/PS3/PS4/PC (2005)
In 2004, I was fortunate to be sought out by Eric Gorfain and Tetsuya Shibata to sing some demos for a potential gig. Come 2005, I was on one of the most successful video game franchises to date as lyricist and vocalist of the soundtrack for Devil May Cry 3. Later released as Greatest Hits, Special Edition, and then in HD for the PS3 and PS4. I am forever grateful for the life-changing opportunity to have this “gig” and to the fans that still write me 15+ years after it’s release. Thank you so much!

-Never really played Monster Hunter before and, even though there’s only one verse with my voice, I think this is hilarious. A mash-up of Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry. It may work better than you’d think.

Dead Rising | CAPCOM | XBOX360/PC (2006)
In 2006, my original metal band, Hostile Groove, took on soundtrack duties for two boss fights in the first game of the successful series Dead Rising. You can hear their most popular track, “Fly Routine,” during the Steve boss fight, and their thrash song, “On A Mission,” during the Butcher boss fight.

Chocobo Rodeo
Lyrics/Arranged by Shootie HG
Written by Nobuo Uematsu

Gas ‘em up with the greens and let him go
Stand back, stand clear as he puts on a show
So cute yet fierce, is he from hell?
I cannot tell, yet I don’t even want to know

So you wanna be a trailblazer?
Kickin’ dirt like a hell raiser?
Take the reins, but don’t react slow
It’s time to feel the force of the chocobo

So you think you can ride this chocobo?
Got Chocobucks? You better put them on this chocobo!
Saddle up, if you think you can ride in this rodeo
Are we in hell? I don’t know… to the dirt, let’s roll!
You’re loco if you think you’re gonna hide this chocobo
Everybody’s gonna wanna ride your chocobo
It’s choco-loco style in a choco-rodeo
Gonna ride him straight through hell in this chocobo rodeo!
Ahhh, let’s ride!

Within Me
Lyrics by Shootie HG
Music by Mitsuto Suzuki

Your ambition is irrelevant
This is where time ends, do you attest
Transcendence you have set forth in
Shy away or come see what’s within

When intangibleness is mixing with volatility
The protagonist in me
When intangibleness is mixing with volatility
The protagonist in me

Volatility, do it
It is crushing through my veins
The protagonist in me
It’s within me.

You have foreseen this conflict herein
You cannot bring back what has been
Run as fast as you can or let this begin
This foreclosure will decide our moral sins

Volatility, and intangibleness is mixing
It is crushing through my veins
The protagonist in me
It’s within me.

What is written you cannot intercept
The known future has come into effect
Now your struggle is meaningless
Chimerical for my repent
