That's a good catch. Now that I think about it, it is controversial - it's almost like they swapped the sound with the visuals (Q and W have more metallic sounds now). Why go in a direction with one while taking the opposite with the other? R even kept its guitar sound (though now it's less noticeable because it has other sounds added). Maybe they wanted to keep both things while adding more references to the Shadow Isles, but they did it in a messy way - as messy as the rework itself - honestly, all of CertainlyT's works are messed up, from old Darius to Kalista. He himself is controversial in his behaviour, as controversial as the intentions for the VFX and Mordekaiser's role.

Keep in mind, though, that while I think the visuals are a better representation for it, it may not have been Riot's aim. Looking at how they're trying to remove the (ironic?) references on the older champions (Sion's Schwarzenegger references, for example), maybe they just wanted to get rid of it completely. Which is even more controversial (I like this word) since they'd have to change Mordekaiser's abilities' names to do it and, seeing as even the passive for his ultimate has its own name (though it's a reference to a band and not a song), it looks unlikely at least.

By the way, thank you for spelling my name right - I've seen "DemonDraven", "DamonDarven" and similar stuff sometimes, and it's annoying.
