Blackmore is one of the bosses of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
Blackmore's music is "Chamber of Ruin", used by Wallman first (but let's forget about that for a second).
Blackmore is wearing a Deep Purple jacket (literally a deep purple; an indigo color)
Now, let's do a little comparison!
Castlevania Order of Ecclesia - Chamber Of Ruin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgijr54H5RU#)
Play this until the 35th Second, where it hits the jamming "Amen Break" Percussion part.
Now... compare!
Ritchie Blackmore - Concerto Solo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpWQiGQSUyk#ws)
That is Ritchie Blackmore, from the band "Deep Purple", and his solo is done in exactly the same key as his Ecclesia counterpart's boss tune; a jazzy Blues G.
Reference or Homage, perhaps?

File this under "We already knew this" if you already knew... but it's news to me. :P

Awesome find :o
I wonder how many other references/homages OoE has?

Deep Purple rocks!
Great find.

Last time I checked (which is just before this reply) Indigo is more in the blue spectrum.

Oh yeah, also this:
Chamber of Ruin - Castle Boss Battle - Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UJ7PTQe-EM#)
With download link here:
**clicky** (http://www.mediafire.com/?sjzz9uwgtlejbfc)
Random aside: Doesn't this also sound similar to the Bigger Boss Battle from Yoshi's Island? It is also on the same "Jazzy G" Blues Scale, and has the same funky organs.

Blackmore was a god :'( awesome find mi buen Yorsh

Already saw the reference, but didn't compare the songs. Nice job.
Considering "Dwelling of Doom" was a kind of tribute to Yngwie Malmsteen, yeah, it could be possible.

The Chamber of Ruin also has some part that sounds similar to the NES Contra stage 2 BGM.

Sweet I love these sorts of references.
Brings to mind the bosses from Thunder Force V who are all named after classic bands including the first boss "Deep Purple"

Does this count as reference?
I know this is old.

I guess the inspiration had to have come from somewhere.
