Devil Trigger BEDAZZLES Music Producer (Devil May Cry 5)

[@heathbroome6202]

Fun little fact: The lyrics "Like a sliver bullet piercing through. I throw myself into you" Is played in Vergil's theme but not a lyrics but as a melody. You can actually say those lyrics and it will match up to a certain point in bury the light

[@ragnarlothbrok4748]

Which part?

[@heathbroome6202]

@@ragnarlothbrok4748 near the end and then the last part as well.

[@rosenoire1183]

Isn't that supposed to be "Embrace the darkness that's within me" because it's more inline with Vergil's "Bury the light deep within" melody/instrumental?

[@heathbroome6202]

@@rosenoire1183 yes. It also works for that one as well.

[@foofgam220]

It's not just that. The entire chorus has the same melody as the ending chorus of Bury the Light.

If you hadn't said that, I'd have noticed.

[@mahdikhandaker2510]

He’s not? Oh

[@greenhollyknight4846]

I feel that Nero is the balance between Dante and Vergil. Dante is chaotic and his personality and fighting style includes random movements and unpredictability. The way you can switch styles on the fly when you play his character seems to support this. While he is carefree in his life and may appear to not take anything seriously he does. He just doesn't let it keep him from enjoying the life his mom sacrificed herself for. Vergil on the other hand is precise and methodical in his approach to life and fighting. When you play him his character is very orderly and seemingly by the book in how he does thing. There is a very strict structure to the styles he uses. He is also very disciplined with himself and expects it of others. Now Nero is calm and cool and approaches things in a serious manner, but he doesn't like being so stiff. He knows there is a time and a place for things but he also knows he need to enjoy his life. With his fighting style he is a bit chaotic like Dante as it throws his opponents off. But he treats each fight as a serious matter just like Vergil.

[@uzhzhyck]

@@greenhollyknight4846 man I've loved this small analysis, you're cool.

[@babysploon751]

DEVIL TRIGGER LES FING GOOOOOOO!! Never played the game but I LOVE this song!!! So I'm a *little* biased hahaha. Really loved your analysis on this song! It's so fascinating how just using something like a siren can increase the impact. I had never thought of mixes as being "wet" or "dry" but it makes sense! Will keep that in mind for the future!

[@herrdohfii103]

i have a suggestion: play the game, it's awesome trust me

[@Superlizardy36]

Play the game! its on sale rn

[@estenslop]

ALL THESE THOUGHTS RUNNIN THROUGH MY HEAD

[@venomark7883]

The song Devil Trigger Revolves around Nero finding his true power and releasing it, along with his rage completely bursting it out in a surge of unimaginable power Nero is releasing something inside his heart that he doesn't know it exists and pulling it out from within him to be able to stand up and fight for what he thinks is right Basically saying "I'm going all out and I'm not stopping this time"

[@dermanater]

I really love the way that the ending fade out is super dragged out because it makes the song itself seem like it's so powerful that it takes ages to dissipate

[@EmilyxKovacs]

i absolutely love sitting here and it's as if i'm jamming with you, it's great can't wait for you to listen to the rest of the character's themes! particularly excited for you to listen to V's theme.

[@JaakunaSetsu]

If you remember Bury the light theres the namedrop from the song "Bury the Light Deep Within, cast asid all theres no going home, were bringing chaos in the wake, drifting in the ocean all alone" and that part is supposed to be a mirror to the "Embrace the darkness thats within me, no hiding in the shadows anymore, when this wickedness consumes me, nothing can save you and theres no way out."

[@WildfireMagni]

There's like, an illegal amount of hype in this song.

[@michaelmaguire4147]

Would love to see a video like this, but about how all of the music in DMC5 is tied to your score; the more "stylish" your score the more "layers" of the song that play. It might be cool to see someone who knows what their talking about analyze how they do it and how effective or good each "level" of the song is.

[@DevilHunterJax]

Ah, my boy's theme song! Out of everyone in the franchise, Nero is my favourite to play as and his music always goes so damn hard. Shall Never Surrender from DMC 4 goes really hard too. This is just such a good song for Nero and the lyrics are such a perfect embodiment of who Nero is as a person. DMC 5 is absolutely peak DMC for me and I put way too many hours into that game 😅

[@TheScout1965]

[@CDN-SKY]

Nobody talks about the violin solo which by the way soul taking Edit: please make this into a full song if you can

[@SmokeBloody]

I agree! The solo was magnificent!

[@FourCogs]

You should definitely check out "Silver Bullet" It's the final boss theme that sort of represents Nero evolving as a character.

[@LikeACrouton]

Everybody talking about how this shares the chord progression with Bury the Light + the mention here made me learn what "chord progression" means. I've gained so much music knowledge from watching reactions like this over the last couple years, gives me a better appreciation for the craft.

[@CrookiNari]

Probably the thing I love most about this song is the way it contrasts with Nero's battle theme in 4, The time Has Come/Shall Never Surrender. Both the melody and the lyrics of Devil Trigger reflect his character development over these two games.

[@killereye]

15:45 Devil Trigger is perfect as it is, but that play you did was very good. It sounded to me, like the violin cried, but it felt good. It holds up even if Devil Trigger isn't slapping along with it. You should definitely do something with it...besides buttering up my ears with that heavenly melody! 🎶

[@austintea]

Its crazy how nero got this masterpiece, Vergil got Bury the Light, they both got themes that suit them very well and then dante got sub human, a good song but absolute not dante's

[@Rhubarb120]

There is something that made me come around to Dante's theme in this game. I'm not sure if it is just a regional thing, but where I live there is a stereotype of the Metalhead Uncle, and this game's version of Dante fits that to a T. The stereotype is an older man with longish white hair, Who wears a leather jacket, has a beard, who rides a motorcycle, always cracking jokes and having a good time, and always has metal music playing nearby. Dante in this game has all of these characteristics and is literally Nero's uncle. It is probably just a coincidence, because I doubt that Japanese game devs are in the know about stereotypes from a small hick town in Canada, but it fits so perfectly that I find it makes the song fit him, even though it wouldn't normally be my first choice of a character theme.

[@marvinamor1330]

Same, dante's theme grew on me but I still don't feel it represents Dante as a whole.

[@1Synner]

At least Dante's got Devils Never Cry if one doesn't care much for subhuman.

[@revansdisciple4636]

People? If I may interject with this scenario. Imagine if Shawn "Shootie H.G." McPherson and Jason "Shy Boy" Arnold did Dante's theme for DMC5?

[@xeronic]

i would say DMC3's "Devils Never Cry" represents him pretty well still after all these years. I do like DMC5's Dante's theme, but yeah, it doesn't hit like Vergil's and Nero's does for me.@@marvinamor1330

Fun Fact: The crank-operated siren, used for emergency services, was invented in 1790 by Scottish natural philosopher John Robinson. It was originally invented to be a musical instrument but was too harsh to make it popular. It was later taken up again, for its stress-inducing sounds, to alert people to emergencies.

[@trollpatrol1177]

That was an awesome piece you did with that instrument. Covers like that can be interesting to hear, where you can either add parts to music, remove parts, or change the instrument to modify the emotions evoked. I dont know everything that goes into music, but now that there's science, social, and emotional understanding that goes into it, and the sharing of information worldwide, music has developed a lot. I feel like if you were to go back in time and play BFG Division (Mick Gordon) to a boxing match some time in the 1800's, it would turn into a fight to the death lol.

Not sure if anyone else can hear it or if it is obvious to everyone, but the chorus to this song has the same exact melody as the chorus to bury the light.

Chaos & order. Well, that makes sense. Dante is chaotic, fun loving, carefree & unpredictable whereas Virgil is calm, cool, collected, disciplined & methodical. Identical twins that are polar opposites. Nero has the best traits from both his father & his uncle. He is basically the physical embodiment of "chaos & order."

If you ever get the chance listen to Dante and V's theme.

Highly recommend V's Crimson Cloud and Dante's Subhuman themes
