[@Golemie]

Fun fact about how some of the themes from the game work is that they become more present as you play better or more "stylish". When you fight enemies in the game, you build up a style meter that essentially grades how well you weave combos, avoid enemy attacks, and mix up what you do in interesting ways (aka not simply using the same move again and again). Starting a fight you get a purely ambient version of this and other tracks, but when you build up through the style ranks (D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS) the lyrics start coming in to match your performance. It's an awesome way to highlight the player's own mastery of the game and support more stylish/exciting fights with music that shifts depending on how things are going. It was also hilarious hearing about how some people didn't hear the lyrical version of the tracks because they weren't playing "stylishly".

Exactly, when you master this game’s mechanics the combat and the stage become a demonic rave. Where you as one of the 3 main characters are the artist of destruction. Nero being pure savagery, Dante being the joy of carnage, Vergil the meticulous bringer of death.

[@-rakoo-amv454]

Sick Smoking Style!

[@Manudyne]

Tfw I play as Vergil to experience Bury the light in its gameplay glory but he's too OP and after literally 4 moves it already jumps to SS and I'm suddenly hit by "I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING" without build up

[@temporalwolf7054]

One of the coolest things about DMC5 is how Devil Trigger, Crimson Cloud (V's battle theme), and Bury The Light weave together and tell a story that supplements the actual writing in the game in a way that's extremely cool for series fans to see the payoff to, but also just not something that can be done in isolation. Animation, music, and writing all coming together in one of the hypest climaxes I've seen in video games.

[@syrelian]

Having listened to Bury the Light earlier I started noticing the parallels and counterpoints in the lyrics, like "There is no way to contain this storm swelling inside me", and of course Bury the Light has I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING And then the Bury the Light and Devil Trigger have counterpoints about light and darkness and suppressing them

[@gatfatf]

@@syrelian Holy hell it's the same musical phrase at 3:45 I can't believe I never noticed. "Just like my dear papa"

[@user-cb4vt3qm3j]

And then there's Subhuman that's just... kind of there. It's a strange feeling when you realise that Dante has pulled the short straw when it comes to music.

[@damiendeonarain6492]

@@user-cb4vt3qm3j Nah, I'd say crimson cloud is kinda just...there. Subhuman is a good character theme for Dante, but due to it being a slower song, it doesn't match the speed of Dante's gameplay, and therefore doesn't hit the same as a BATTLE theme.

[@damiendeonarain6492]

@@gatfatf Holy shit you're right, it perfectly matches up with the final chorus of bury the light. Good spot. I always wondered why I'd end up singing that part of bury the light over this section of devil trigger by accident

[@Evnyofdeath]

So don't know if anyone brought it up, but this theme is basically about Nero finally fully accepting himself. He's introduced in DMC4 as part Demon, but hating that about himself and always trying to hide it from the world. By the end of DMC5 he's fully embraced his heritage and even unlocks the most powerful demonic ability that Demons usually get, the Devil Trigger.

[@syrelian]

An actual DT even, Nero's DMC4 DT is Cool, but is just him going Stand On Still no Sin DT though, gonna need another game for that one bud

[@amandav8475]

Yes I love it when I'm fighting a boss or a bunch of enemies and this theme starts like "fuck yeah!"

[@Hawk_of_Battle]

Even better when you manage to accidentally (or even deliberately) manage to synch up those "Bang, Bang, Bang!"s with charged shots on juggled enemies mid-combo.

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

It’s the best motivator to play well. I NEED that chorus to hit.

[@chipslight738]

Little detail that's very nice : at the beginning of the song, the first two lyrics is "I'll endure the exile" which if reference to a line that Nero utters in DMC4 after unlocking his incomplete Devil Trigger where he doesn't care if he's shun as a demon for all he cares about his to save his love interest Kyrie. Also may I suggest the main theme of Metroid Prime ? A lot of themes in the Prime trilogy are very good to listen to.

[@itsmrdante6274]

Those are spoilers man lol he hasn't played the games

[@notmisterepicface4308]

Interesting fact: Vergil’s and Nero’s themes have a shared leitmotif, Casey Edwards saying he wrote Vergil’s theme that way to hint at how they’re family. That, and they’re similar in a few ways.

[@AniGaAG]

Context: This is a _dynamic_ battle theme. Different sections and instruments play depending on how well you do. Only when you are absolutely _killing it_ does the most hype part of it play with all instruments; _all_ the characters' battle themes in DMC5 work like that. It ramps up into B rank, further into A rank, and just as you're barely before S, it goes quieter and tense - before you hit that S, and it just breaks into pure hype. :D

[@SpyMadBus]

Thats why i love devil may cry, every fight just feels so good matching with the battle theme

[@johnnynoise7897]

This song when you're fighting demons as Nero and the Chorus dropping when you reach the S rank is so, sooo good!

@8:14 That's the type of energy this track was made to listen to in Devil May Cry 5...

[@Scarorion]

So glad to see a reaction to this,one of my favorite songs ever,it got me into playing the entire series of games

[@temporalwolf7054]

Apologies for the comment span, but another really cool thing DMC5 does is its dynamic battle themes. The game operates on a stylish meter, dealing damage and changing up your combos to be as visually impressive as possible ups your stylish rank, and depending on the rank, the game plays different sections of the song. You can kind of hear it if you're looking for it in the full thing, how there are slower sections that gradually build and build to the chorus, reflecting the score building. Play well and as you land your big hits, the game accents it with "BANG BANG BANG pull my Devil Trigger"

[@JessesAuditorium]

Idc about comment spam lol, I like when people engage so I can learn more about these games. That's rad!

[@jeffkenny]

The Order should be Devil Trigger (Nero’s Theme), Subhuman (Dante’s Theme) and Bury the light (Vergil’s theme)! In the Game your Play as Nero, the Protege of Dante which turn out to be the son of Vergil, Dante’s Twin Brother. This way you get to have a full family picture. And also you get to hear the three very different kind of “Devil” they are.

[@Muircherteach]

If you were thinking this would be awesome live -- you'd be 1000% right. Capcom hosted a concert near PAX East one year and the energy, especially to this, was FIRE.

[@josiedavis3792]

This is such a great track, it would have been very welcome at a Rave. And yeah I can totally understand where you're coming from with Blade, it's sort of got that same energy that the character would fight too. Actually Blade and the DMC crew have a lot in common, that sort of irreverence toward the horrors that they face while looking slick and cool as they fight. DMC is often referred too as a Spectacle Fighter, in which a lot of the animations are meant to look sick and you're encouraged to mix in a lot of different moves into a fight for extra style points. So I could totally see something like that happening with a Blade game if they made one today.

[@Skimmerlit]

This was fun. Thank you. DMCV is such a blessing to the world.

[@Mattie2013]

See, Devil Trigger is good and all, but thanks to Triple-Q my brain automatically inserts the percussion and guitar to Love Shack whenever I listen to it. It's a whole problem.

I really love this song. This song really fit Neros personality along with the generation. I really wish artists that did metal get more credit.

[@skalliedA]

So, I stumbled upon your channel and now it's the middle of the night and I don't know where my day went. Good stuff! I'm sure plenty of people have already suggested it, but just to be sure: The Time Has Come from the DMC4 OST might interest you. Something a little more out of the way though would be the Digital Devil Saga OST. It's the same composer as Persona, but... heavier? I'm not good at talking about music. For the heavy side of things I'd suggest "Hari-Hara" (First or second movement doesn't matter, both are sick), but if you'd like soemthing chill, check out Muladhara. In any case, have a good one!

[@cupafail]

Finally downloaded this game last night as it's free on PS Plus atm, and this song plays when you hover over the game on the PS5 menu (just the middle part with the lyrics). I planned to just set it to download and go to bed, but I ended up listening to the song playing on repeat for a good half an hour or so hahah so addictive

[@johnoden5932]

If I remember right this is also the combat music well part of it atleast and the higher your combo the more intense it gets so the better you do the more the music rocks out.

[@Redblaze27]

Yeah, if you only are rocking a rank D combo, you only really hear the intro to the song on loop.

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

Best part of these songs is how they’re implemented into the game. The better you do in combat, the song will change sections. You get the chorus when you’re REALLY killing it.

[@TheNightofWalpurgis666]

You should hear the Triple-Q's mashup of Devil Trigger and B-52 Love Shack. Two different types of music that work so well together.

[@Mugthraka]

"Devil Trigger" is the name of the game's protagonists ability to tap into their Demonic powers: Dante & Vergil are the sons of Sparda, the Legendary Dark Knight( a Powerfull Demon that sided with humanity 2000 years ago VS the Armies of the Demon World), and they are half human/half Demon Hybrids. The "Devil trigger" allows them to tap into their Demonic Heritage and shapeshift into Demonic warriors, boosting tremendously their combat prowess and physical/supernatural powers.

[@gurnoorsekhon6402]

DMC 5 definitely has some of the best custom music in all of gaming.

[@zakki9491]
