Metal Musician Reacts to Devil May Cry 5 "Bury The Light" by Casey Edwards feat. Victor Borba

[@scoutlox158]

When you asked if Mick Gordon did the bass, it's like that because Casey Edwards is a fan/pupil of Mick himself. He took liberties from Mick and used it in the creation of Bury the light

[@TheGuitar1337]

Wow I didn't know that! That's so cool! I'm a huge fan of Mick Gordon and I've added all of these artists to a huge playlist on Spotify! Thanks for the info 😌👌

[@jonathanzimmer725]

he worked on eternal as well

[@BW-CZ]

If I remember Casey's interview well, it should be noted that the "Mick Gordon parts" in Bury The Light wasn't consciously based off Mick's stuff, though as you said it makes perfect sense. Sometimes things just sneak into whatever you're creating without you realising it!

The ending of the guitar solo is the melody to Devil Trigger btw. *cheers in deadweight*

[@Bzduras]

It actually is solo refering to one part of Bury The Light, but it has serious Devil Trigger vibe in it. Listen closely and try to hum "bury the light deep within, cast aside there's no coming home", it's all coming toghether and you'll hear the difference between solo and DT. Genius part of the song by the way.

[@Mecha_Neko]

@@Bzduras yea dude i know and agree, but it's also a direct reference to part of the chorus of DT where it goes "embrace the darkness that's within me, no hiding in my shadows anymore" since DT came out first. But yea 1000% its genius work from Casey. Dude is a beast lol.

[@ryanlorenzo5003]

[@Smique4542]

The song is so different compared to other DMC songs that it instantly made it's mark. This and Subhuman have to be my favourite songs from the whole DMC series. Also guys you should give a shot at Dusk, both from reaction and gaming. Spoilers...Andrew Hulshult made the music for that game and it kicks some serious butt!

[@fuelcapgaming5753]

Oh yeah, this song definitely has a distinct sound so far that stands out from the rest I have noticed. I really like the sound and feel of it, plus the how well the lyrics are done. Dusk has been mentioned quite a few times and I got my eyes on it. I want to sample some tracks for sure and it sounds like it's up my alley

Devils never cry is the theme song for the series though..

[@randominternetman8177]

The last three minutes of this song were born out of Casey's pure love for Devil May Cry. He didn't know if he'd be able to compose for the series again, so he poured his heart and soul (along side vocalist Victor Borba) into those final minutes.

"Side Note: Is it just me or does this song sound kinda like 'Reptile' by Periphery" I've watched Alex Moukala's reaction to this as well and he noticed the exact same thing, there's definitely inspiration from that song.

[@jamesrandall6380]

This song sounds a lot like Reptile, and quite a few other musicians who’ve heard it agree.

I think Reptile might've been an inspiration for this song. Furthermore, bury the light is a part of Reptile's lyrics.

[@FitzAF]

Victor Borba has a great vocal combination. Almost like he's got Benjamin Burnley, Chris Daughtry, and David Draiman's combined with how he does is vocal fry and how he transitions out of it. Great control as well despite massive fry output.
