Thanks for the hint!

That's however a different "Dies Irae", composed by W.A.Mozart (that W. is for Wolfgang btw!) in 1791 for his "Requiem Mass in D minor". The Requiem was left unfinished when he died so some parts are more or less completed by someone else. If I remember right Dies Irae is almost 100% only Mozart.

The "Dies Irae" I'm looking for is the one composed in 13th century (maybe by Thomas of Celano) which has been used later by many other composers (check my video for more information).

We could maybe also start to list VGM that include Mozart's "Dies Irae". Beside Fatal Fury it's used also in the beginning of Still Life.

And what about the 3rd famous "Dies Irae", the most powerful of them? The Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem. Is it used in game soundtracks?
