This is the most fun track of all DMC games in my opinion, it acts as sort of a core track for all of DMC 3, you'll hear sections of it littered through the game in different sections and serving different functions for the story which is why it's so "busy". Sometimes the cherry picked sections are mixed a bit different but after hearing it enough times it kinda becomes fun to "where's Waldo " which bits are placed where and how they're adjusted or used throughout the game, at least in my opinion.

@@JoshBou yup a lot of leitmotifs all over the game... even in Vergil's 2nd boss fight you can hear the main choir melody
The main character, Dante, and his brother, Vergil, are half-human and half-devil. At 8 years old their home was attacked by demons - their mother managed to hide Dante away but was killed looking for Vergil. Vergil had to fend for himself outside the family home, believing that he'd been abandoned and his whole family was dead. This song is basically Dante's theme and ties into his personality. Dante is the Red Oni in the classic Red Oni/Blue Oni storytelling trope. He's free-spirited, energetic, fun-loving, is generally goofy, and even wears red clothes to push the trope further in your face. In contrast, his brother Vergil is the Blue Oni - he's cold, serious, disciplined, authoritarian, and wears a blue jacket. Dante is ashamed of his devil heritage because it was pretty much the reason his family got attacked, he doesn't like abusing his powers. Part of the lyrics for this song are "Steal a soul for a second chance, but you will never become a man" - saying that he will never truly be human. Vergil on the other hand embraces his devil side, always searching for more power - the power to prevent something like his incredibly traumatic childhood from ever happening again. Compare the lyric "Bless me with your gift of light" in Devils Never Cry to the lyric "Bury the light deep within" in Vergil's theme. There's a running theme through the series of heritage and what it means to each brother. The lighter voice in the song is probably his human half while the grittier voice is his devil half.
It's worth saying that while they adhere to the Red/Blue Oni archetype, they are much more yin and yang. Dante represents the yang side - he's light, loves to poke fun and joke around, choosing to take things less seriously. But he has an inner side that feels heartbreak over the idea that he lost his brother, the idea that he shares a heritage with the creatures that killed his mother. The reason why he is upset at the end of DMC3 is because he believes that he will never see Vergil again, and he tries to hide his tears by saying "it's only the rain." Vergil, on the other hand, can represent "yin." He is cold, aloof, motivated and withdrawn. However, that attitude is an adopted persona meant to hide his more lighthearted and fun loving side - it was BOTH of the brothers that used to mess around as children, yelling "Jackpot" because they thought it sounded cool. He often has little one liners of his own, showing that he still has that quick wit that Dante does as well.
@@ApexGale That in itself is actually a core element of the red oni/blue oni trope in and of itself. The loud and brash one is the one who has the 'calm heart' in reality and becomes level-headed when under pressure, while the calm and collected one is the one who loses his cool and lets that calm exterior fall when backed into a corner.
A couple of people have already explained the meaning of the dual-vocals in the second part of the track, but something they've missed to an extent is the context of when the song plays, which I saw you ask about, so... The song first appears in the opening of the game, where Dante and Vergil's battle is foreshadowed, but it cuts right when the opening chorus is about to end. The second time it plays is after Dante and Vergil's first battle; Dante's defeated, but awakens his devil blood, and so the electronic metal (or demonic) part of the song plays for the first time now that Dante is embracing his devil half. And the final time it's played is during the game's ending credits. It's also the first and only time when you hear the song to completion. The human vs demonic vocals play at the same time, because Dante has accepted both his human and demonic halves as co-existing. Equal in power. It's also played as a leimotif during a lot of the game; most notably, an all-orchestral arrangement is what plays during the final battle with Vergil (a character who represents a blind devotion to the demonic side of their family) as a sort of thematic counter-point to Vergil's demonic side. It's basically the music telling the audience that Vergil is wrong and that humanity is as strong as demon-kind, and that Dante's (AKA: you) are gonna prove it by slapping him with nunchucks and rocket launchers for 8 minutes.
This seems late, but when I fought Vergil two - three times and those times I fought him, I didn't use my DT (Devil Trigger) only until vergil activated his DT is when I would activate Dante's DT, even though I have little brothers who act similar to Dante while I'm the more serious, calm brother but, Even as a kid that played DMC3 on the PS2 I knew the relationship between the brothers were Yin and Yang but when Lady asked Dante if he was crying and then he denied It? I felt that at my core, because even though we're brothers we couldn't possibly hate one another, no matter how angry and upset we are with each other.
@@0neWhoSpeaks1nHands vs Vergil two I did the exact same thing with my DT, and at the start of the fight I would mirror his pathing before going into the center to start the brawl.
The final bit you're talking about; the two voices kinda conflicting with each other. It's because Dante (the main protagonist) is half human and half demon. And he is conflicted about his own identity because he hates demon for killing his parents but at the same time it's within him and he has to accept that side of his father (which is a demon). In contrary to him, his brother is obsessed with his father's side and wants to reject his humanity so he could never be as weak as the night when his parents got killed.
@@XSilverSmokeX actually sparda died at around the same time. After making the Yamato and sealing. The gate to hell he lost almost all of his power. The attack on his house hold was to kill him and the whole family. By that time Sparda was just a strong human in terms of power. So a swarm of lesser demons was all it took. He knew that would happen but didn’t expect his family to get caught it in it. Their survival was the only mistake the demons made. Those two would become stronger than their father and the demons never stood a chance again lmao.
Dante and his brother Vergil are both half human half devil. Mother killed by devil for their father eloping with her. Dante embraces his human side as a way to still enjoy life and protect the life his mother lived, but feels the pull of hating what he is. Vergil embraces his devil side as a way to avenge what his mother lived for because he believes you need power to protect and a human cannot protect themselves, but feels the gentle comfort of his human side letting him know it's ok to live. Their dynamic is rather good, as a means justify the ends vs ends justify the means on a scale where you are responsible for making that decision.
I should add there is a DMC5 version now and it's rather different, despite maintaining the core. Highly suggest checking it out, and maybe even comparing the shifts. @@DrumRollTonyReacts
I've been playing it recently and even though I am at mission 5 I can very much agree! the only problems I've had while playing is that the camera kinda sucks and the lock on system can make trying to choose a target from a crowd really difficult even when using the change target button (also the styles feel somewhat limiting but that may be just me being used to trickster, gunslinger and swordmaster being all usable at the same time in DmC)
Devils Never Cry is the ending credits song for Devil May Cry 3. The credits in dmc games usually have the player kill a bunch of demons while the credits fly by and if you kill enough demons you get a secret cutscene.
I remember when the first trailers came out for this game, with this song, and it was the best trailer I had ever seen for a video game before. My friends and I got so excited for it, and fortunately it lived up to the hype! One of the best games on the ps2, and considering how many all time classics were on that system, that's high praise.
I remember so many musicians hating on this song back when the game released on the ps2 because of it being so digital. I always thought it was sick I love the chaos of everything clashing at the end.
The first fragment, the church one, plays during the opening sequence that describes the legend of Sparda, demon that betrayed demons and sealed them. The second fragment, till the return of church choirs (?) plays during, well, Dante's awakening of his devil-side powers, showing his increased power during cutscene. The whole song can be heard during the credits sequence, where you're able to control your character and fight waves of enemies (defeat 100 of them and get proper ending to the story kind of deal).
Parts of this song, primarily the organ and choir intro, play throughout the game, serving as the main theme, but the full song doesn't play until the ending cutscene/closing credits. During the credits (which is where the heavier section starts), you are still playing the game as the game tasks you with the goal of needing to kill 100 or more demons.
Not sure if you caught it but Bury the Light has a cool callback to the break in this song. Was really cool for old fans hearing that part of the song.
That part of the song hit me like a freight train the first time I heard it. All those feels came back, particularly the waterfall finale of Devil May Cry 3. Being able to play as Vergil in that game's Special Edition was the best part and that ending is just brutal after you realize how great of a character Vergil actually is. The only thing I could picture is Dante reaching out, only to have a lightning-fast "no" coming from Yamato slicing across his palm as Vergil falls into the void. They nailed that game's conclusion.
This whole song plays over the end credits but the melody of the clean singing is used as a liet motif for strong moments of conflict throughout the game. Such as the lead character Dante being nearly killed by his brother or the lead supporting character killing her father. That melody is also iterated on throughout almost like score music for a movie.
Idk if anyone pointed this out, but the starting "church chorus noise" at the start is just the soft chorus near the end but played backward, which is amazing
This is the battle theme and also Dante's theme for DMC3. Dante is half-human half-demon. At this point of the series he loathes his demon side. He has a lot of anger and sadness but he covers it up with crudeness and sarcasm. The more scream singing parts of the song are what he presents himself as. Or at least what he tries to present as. It also represents sort of his violent demon side. The softer singing I always interpreted as what he actually feels inside that he tries to hide. Especially given the lyrics.
As far as I remember this song plays twice during the game. First time is after the first fight with Vergil when Dante is running *down* the side of the tower, killing demons along the way. The last being during the interactive ending credits where you need to defeat 100 demons to get the bonus ending.
DMC games are full of great tracks, DMC5 especially with its character themes (Devil Trigger, Crimson Cloud, Subhuman, Bury the Light), especially the tracks composed by Casey Edwards
@@Raivo_Melnis It is just bad...Even after the so called corrected version. Gutteral screaming all the times makes no sense it has to be completed! Exactly what was done well in devils never cry!
Sorry but DMC5 is the worst one out of all. It has good songs but the OG DMC soundtracks are more intense and edgy which I think makes them better. DMC4 soundtrack needs some recognition as well because idk how the hell Dante went from Lock and Load blackened angel mix to Subhuman😂
I think some comments told you in the other videos that "Bury The Light" was Vergil's theme & "Devil Trigger" was his son Nero's theme, "Devils Never Cry" is Vergil's brother (and the main character of the series) Dante's OG theme. I call it the OG because he has another theme from DMC5 called "Subhuman", fan consensus is pretty mixed on that one though so I'd be interested to see which one you prefer. Edit: Nero also has another theme that fans love from DMC4 called "Shall Never Surrender" but they're not really in contention like Dante's two themes are.
I’m low key sad people forget about silver bullet. Which was composed as the “sequel” to devil trigger and only plays in the final fight. It was intended to be Nero’s true theme but no one talks about it despite it being one of the hypest moments In The game (since it only triggers after you manually activate Nero’s dt)
The fun of this kind of combat music is that you will listen to it ALOT of time since this is a beat-em-up game so it need to get you pumping, excited yet have to be melodic too since you move to different area, fight increasingly tough enemies while having a plot moving forward.
Yeah the ending, about the last minute just builds and builds, getting more and more insane honestly. I've never heard another track ever that has layered so much together and still sounded so good. Most tracks start to get messy or lose the sound completely when trying to layer that much, but the producers here pulled it off very well
The reactions to THIS music in particular are so fun to watch, I cannot tell you how much I love them. This music is divided clearly in 3 parts, the first one kind of "cathedral" music with a chorus, the second pure rock and the third, a salad of both, and when it switches it's just pure eargasm, absolutely amazing, and the reactions are no less exciting, people get like "wtf is this?" at the first transition and then "damn, that was cool" at the second. Just amazing stuff all around. Loved this one.
The booduhduhduh you were talking about is the sound of enemies appearing. Also people talk about Dante and his demon side but he had that figured out long before in the manga. He's more struggling with the legacy of his dad and living with the same ultimate power but not doing anything with it like his dad. In the beginning he struggles against Vergil because Vergil found a purpose for being stronger but once Dante finds his is when they become even. The game ends with him accepting that purpose his father had before him where Vergil planned on using that legacy without a care for anything. Anyways the first part plays when we're being told about their dad. The second part plays when Dante awakens. I don't think the final part plays until the full song is played for the credits which we play through after the Devil (spoiler) cries. Also this songs is apart of the deluxe upgrade for DMCV and has the same adaptive transitioning as the other songs in the game. Meaning if you do something cool it'll start playing the last part and if you don't it'll keep you in the first half.
So about the voices in the song: Dante the protagonist of the series is the son of Sparda (a demon) and Eva (a human). That makes him a half human half demon hybrid (along with his brother the dude in Bury The Light), the multiple voices in the song are believed to be his human side and his demon side, which during the time the game is taking place he has no control of it and neither have fully realized what he was. Correct me abt something if I'm wrong, have forgotten most of DmC lore.
It was indeed crowded at the end, but they were really smart, using very distinct layers, I've seen some arrangements of this song that don't understand that and it indeed turns to mush :D.
This song is a rare masterpiece because it actually combines at least four different styles: Hymn, Rock, Heavy metal, and Opera. Each style flows along its own melody line and still harmonic. These styles have also been used in various game soundtracks: th-cam.com/video/I2TMPTSjp2g/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ErqNIs_U-WU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/onhSolzh3NM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/hiSJfHFhWTI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/LgG_zzxK1uo/w-d-xo.html This piece is used in the final boss battle music: th-cam.com/video/aN8QfDPANi8/w-d-xo.html In my opinion, it's the best final boss music ever created in history. It complements the storyline perfectly, blending elements of tragedy, epicness, farewell, and excited to drive the plot forward. I love how they reused the music in different parts of the game, giving listeners a sense of familiarity while still feeling fresh. After going through all the hardships to complete the game, they combine all these familiar tracks into a brand new ending, evoking memories of the effort put in to overcome various challenges. It's truly insane music!
Id love to see more reactions to older devil may cry games, the dmc 5 tracks are awesome but the older ones deserve way more attention than theyre getting
This is awesome since I just recently beat DMC3 for the first time so it's cool to see someone else's blind reaction to stuff from it so soon. I'm absolutely loving your reactions and breakdowns of these video game OST's!! I was wondering if you were thinking of doing anything from the FF7 games, more specifically One Winged Angel. It's pretty relevant since they've been remaking that game and One Winged Angel is ICONIC. It would be cool if you did the three major versions of it since they all released at different times and are very different from one another. They are long so it would probably be like a 3 video series but it would be incredible to see what you think of them. I remember you mentioning you like "foreboding orchestral pieces" so these would definitely fit that description. If you do decide to react to them down the line, the order would be One Winged Angel (original game), One Winged Angel: Advent Children (the movie version), then One Winged Angel Rebirth (the Remake version).
It’s widely known that the angelic music is Dante’s humanity and then the sudden drop and demonic roaring vocals are Dante slaying demons for the sake of the humans
Angels and Demons. Duality. You play as Dante, a half demon who slays demons. He's a good person, but he's still a demon. He has a twin brother, Vergil, who embraces his demon side more where Dante embraces his humanity more. Dante's mother was human and his father was a demon. In general, there's a lot of duality at work, which is reflected in the song. The song plays as you fight, in the intro, in the ending credits fight, etc.
I guess the best way to describe the reasons for each piece is to say that the reverance the angelic ethereal sound is Dantes fathers power surging inside Dante and the growling and fast paced guitar is Dantes personality clashing or battling each other. You could say Dante is rebelling against his destiny or finding harmony with the destruction of his life. One thing is for sure though the devil power from Dante's father is awakening inside him and its up to Dante to grasp it and control it.
First ever exposure to this song was from one of Monty Oum's (rip) Dead Fantasy videos. Hitomi from Dead or Alive versus Tifa from Final Fantasy 7, fighting in a burning church.
Some more context, at the end of the game Dante dehumanizes himself by saying devils never cry, in another game he says the same thing while crying, acknowledging he's not just another demon. I believe the human voice is speaking about his family tree, his father being blessed by the water, the green leaf being his human mother and his human counterpart.
Really appreciate your take on listening to the music. Drum play throughs especially. You gotta see Alex Bent drum play through “betrayer” rumor has it he is a cyborg sent from the future.
''Felt like a shooting star''. That's the correct tone since while that part is playing, Dante is jumping from the top of a huge tower, killing demons in the air with his guns and sword. At some point, he's falling so fast that he's igniting himself with the friction. That's one of the most amazing moments in the franchise: when he has awakened his demonic powers right after fighting -and losing to- his brother, Vergil.
Hey if you like this track and wanna hear more DMC3, you should totally check out Vergil’s third fight theme from the same game. Easily one of the game’s best pieces.
A recommended song is Shall Never Surrender from DMC 4,also a killer vibe with many inspirations from Devils Never Cry but with a twist to be a worthy successor of it... Thx for the vídeo,man! Keep it going🔥🔥🔥
The crowded different sounds have a meaning, it's the conflict Dante has in the game, doing the right thing but also transforming in a devil for the first time. Also the conflict he has with his twin brother Virgil, who is his total opposite. I love that part the most.
The devils never cry leimotif in the game really sells some of the few and far between but legitimately emotional moments in a game about a cocky wahoo pizza man shooting demons and venting his boredom.
For context when you asked at what point does this song play is at the end where you as Dante and a nother character called lady fight off demons while the credits role.
not to go into hyper specific details. This game is about the main characters brother opening a portal to hell, and in the end, he stops the scheme, but cannot save his brother. This track plays during an interactive credits scene where you kill the straggler demons on earth. He kinda masks his emotions by having fun killing the demons, but is clearly sad over the loss. That's why we have the 2 styles overlapping.
Tony did all the best DMC Themes !! YEY ~ Thanks for the review , I'm gonna binge-play DMC3 this weekend Can you also do review for the Final Fantasy Dissidia NT Soundtracks ? most are instrumentals but feel good pieces
I feel like personally music feels different well in gameplay and well it is listened to outside the game like if a game hade music with lots of layers while in combat you might feel lost but outside of gameplay just listening I wish it had more layers
The two voices are often described as demonic vs angelic, but since the protagonist is half devil, half human, it could represent the struggle in his heritage
I see you recently hearing ost game music too. Well just need to know. Persona series especially 3,4,5 is the one of the game with the best ost. The 4 series of this game i love all the OST tho it's just my BS opinion since i love that game so much. But it's true that Persona series well known for their good OST. You can search that on internet. So just saying you can check that out. My personal taste is on Persona 4 so i'm so happy if you do the 4 first. Which ost that i most love quite hard to say that since each of them has it's own thing that i like. But i recommended you to react the Poem for Everyone Soul first. Why?, since this song is probably the ICONIC song that use since the first series until now the fifth series. So from persona 1-5 this song already been there but there's some change for the song, from persona 1 and 2 to 3-5. The most popular is 3-5. So The Poem For Everyone Soul more like song from 3-5. Kind a confusing. But not really. If you search it it Will always showing from the 3-5 version. And that was the best version for me atleast and i think the most people like this as well since this was the most popular one.
Correct me if i'm wrong but I believe the only time that the song plays from start to finish uninterrupted or re-edited is during a credit sequence. The composition is very indicative of the game its self, in that it has a 3 act structure, the organ section plays over the intro of the game but gets cut off before the industrial metal section and shows a vision of the main characters defeat/demise. The metal section makes its appearance at the start of mission 8/20 after which the main character has suffered a loss, but due to circumstances has a new level of demonic power, it plays to him "taking the L" but realising he feels stonger and deciding to cut loose in one of the most hype cutscenes my child self ever saw growing up. Heavy nostalgia bias. And then I believe that the final combined section only plays during that credit sequence at the end. This game was very formative for me.

Devils Never Cry is the ending credits song for Devil May Cry 3. The credits in dmc games usually have the player kill a bunch of demons while the credits fly by and if you kill enough demons you get a secret cutscene.
devil's never cry played in the intro of thr game also not just the ending credits.
And save song
No. It's also played when Dante gets his Devil Trigger
Hopefully he reacts to Silent Hill 2 OSTS too
Silent Hill 1 main theme 🙏
oh yes!
I'm hoping for some kingdom hearts
And the SH 3-4 songs!!
promise reprise?
I remember when the first trailers came out for this game, with this song, and it was the best trailer I had ever seen for a video game before. My friends and I got so excited for it, and fortunately it lived up to the hype! One of the best games on the ps2, and considering how many all time classics were on that system, that's high praise.
Ps2 was so godlike man
I played DMC3 on PC. Still the best game from the whole series imo.
I remember so many musicians hating on this song back when the game released on the ps2 because of it being so digital.
I always thought it was sick I love the chaos of everything clashing at the end.
This is indeed the best DMC track.
Bury the Light has entered the chat....
@@MrCageCat still better than bury the light
I liked more Shall Never Surrender and every character's theme in DMC5
all of the popular dmc themes are masterpieces
The first fragment, the church one, plays during the opening sequence that describes the legend of Sparda, demon that betrayed demons and sealed them. The second fragment, till the return of church choirs (?) plays during, well, Dante's awakening of his devil-side powers, showing his increased power during cutscene. The whole song can be heard during the credits sequence, where you're able to control your character and fight waves of enemies (defeat 100 of them and get proper ending to the story kind of deal).
You can also hear motive of this song in Vergil last boss fight.
Shall Never Surrender would be amazing as the next DMC song
Yes! Very underrated song!
@@TheHalloweenSpirit yeah
they will see, we'll fight until eternity
@@Auvisome Come with me, we'll stand and fight togetheeer
@@vanishingself Through our strength, we'll make a better day tomorrow
Parts of this song, primarily the organ and choir intro, play throughout the game, serving as the main theme, but the full song doesn't play until the ending cutscene/closing credits. During the credits (which is where the heavier section starts), you are still playing the game as the game tasks you with the goal of needing to kill 100 or more demons.
Especially when parts of the choir are mixed into Vergil battle 2 and 3.
Dude has the gigachad face in the thumbnail 😂😎
The second half of the song never gets old for me.
Not sure if you caught it but Bury the Light has a cool callback to the break in this song. Was really cool for old fans hearing that part of the song.
That part of the song hit me like a freight train the first time I heard it. All those feels came back, particularly the waterfall finale of Devil May Cry 3. Being able to play as Vergil in that game's Special Edition was the best part and that ending is just brutal after you realize how great of a character Vergil actually is.
The only thing I could picture is Dante reaching out, only to have a lightning-fast "no" coming from Yamato slicing across his palm as Vergil falls into the void.
They nailed that game's conclusion.
This whole song plays over the end credits but the melody of the clean singing is used as a liet motif for strong moments of conflict throughout the game. Such as the lead character Dante being nearly killed by his brother or the lead supporting character killing her father. That melody is also iterated on throughout almost like score music for a movie.
Idk if anyone pointed this out, but the starting "church chorus noise" at the start is just the soft chorus near the end but played backward, which is amazing
This full song plays at the end credits of dmc3 while you're fighting in real time trying to get at least 100 kills one being a mini boss.
This is the battle theme and also Dante's theme for DMC3.
Dante is half-human half-demon. At this point of the series he loathes his demon side. He has a lot of anger and sadness but he covers it up with crudeness and sarcasm.
The more scream singing parts of the song are what he presents himself as. Or at least what he tries to present as. It also represents sort of his violent demon side. The softer singing I always interpreted as what he actually feels inside that he tries to hide. Especially given the lyrics.
As far as I remember this song plays twice during the game.
First time is after the first fight with Vergil when Dante is running *down* the side of the tower, killing demons along the way.
The last being during the interactive ending credits where you need to defeat 100 demons to get the bonus ending.
DMC games are full of great tracks, DMC5 especially with its character themes (Devil Trigger, Crimson Cloud, Subhuman, Bury the Light), especially the tracks composed by Casey Edwards
NGL subhuman is kinda shit.
Devils never cry will always be dante's theme XD
@@Raivo_Melnis It is just bad...Even after the so called corrected version. Gutteral screaming all the times makes no sense it has to be completed! Exactly what was done well in devils never cry!
@@aziouss2863
It's because you're too soft for the death metal, devil never cry is industrial rockm
Sorry but DMC5 is the worst one out of all. It has good songs but the OG DMC soundtracks are more intense and edgy which I think makes them better. DMC4 soundtrack needs some recognition as well because idk how the hell Dante went from Lock and Load blackened angel mix to Subhuman😂
I think some comments told you in the other videos that "Bury The Light" was Vergil's theme & "Devil Trigger" was his son Nero's theme, "Devils Never Cry" is Vergil's brother (and the main character of the series) Dante's OG theme. I call it the OG because he has another theme from DMC5 called "Subhuman", fan consensus is pretty mixed on that one though so I'd be interested to see which one you prefer.
Edit: Nero also has another theme that fans love from DMC4 called "Shall Never Surrender" but they're not really in contention like Dante's two themes are.
I’m low key sad people forget about silver bullet. Which was composed as the “sequel” to devil trigger and only plays in the final fight. It was intended to be Nero’s true theme but no one talks about it despite it being one of the hypest moments In The game (since it only triggers after you manually activate Nero’s dt)
Maturing is realizing Subhuman is good
The fun of this kind of combat music is that you will listen to it ALOT of time since this is a beat-em-up game so it need to get you pumping, excited yet have to be melodic too since you move to different area, fight increasingly tough enemies while having a plot moving forward.
Yeah the ending, about the last minute just builds and builds, getting more and more insane honestly. I've never heard another track ever that has layered so much together and still sounded so good. Most tracks start to get messy or lose the sound completely when trying to layer that much, but the producers here pulled it off very well
The reactions to THIS music in particular are so fun to watch, I cannot tell you how much I love them.
This music is divided clearly in 3 parts, the first one kind of "cathedral" music with a chorus, the second pure rock and the third, a salad of both, and when it switches it's just pure eargasm, absolutely amazing, and the reactions are no less exciting, people get like "wtf is this?" at the first transition and then "damn, that was cool" at the second. Just amazing stuff all around.
Loved this one.
If i'm correct, this plays during the interactive credits, where you and another character fight demons as the credits scroll by.
this is probably one of my all time favorite video games and this song is so nostalgic
"Let's rock baby!" ― Dante
One of my fav game songs. Its awesome to hear a general breakdown of the musical elements by a professional
i love the way the voices of dante conflict at the end of the song omg
The booduhduhduh you were talking about is the sound of enemies appearing. Also people talk about Dante and his demon side but he had that figured out long before in the manga. He's more struggling with the legacy of his dad and living with the same ultimate power but not doing anything with it like his dad.
In the beginning he struggles against Vergil because Vergil found a purpose for being stronger but once Dante finds his is when they become even. The game ends with him accepting that purpose his father had before him where Vergil planned on using that legacy without a care for anything.
Anyways the first part plays when we're being told about their dad. The second part plays when Dante awakens. I don't think the final part plays until the full song is played for the credits which we play through after the Devil (spoiler) cries.
Also this songs is apart of the deluxe upgrade for DMCV and has the same adaptive transitioning as the other songs in the game. Meaning if you do something cool it'll start playing the last part and if you don't it'll keep you in the first half.
So about the voices in the song: Dante the protagonist of the series is the son of Sparda (a demon) and Eva (a human). That makes him a half human half demon hybrid (along with his brother the dude in Bury The Light), the multiple voices in the song are believed to be his human side and his demon side, which during the time the game is taking place he has no control of it and neither have fully realized what he was.
Correct me abt something if I'm wrong, have forgotten most of DmC lore.
you're correct
I think this song is about peanut butter and jelly
DMC3 is one of my favorite games of all time, thanks for reacting to this!
It was indeed crowded at the end, but they were really smart, using very distinct layers, I've seen some arrangements of this song that don't understand that and it indeed turns to mush :D.
This song is a rare masterpiece because it actually combines at least four different styles: Hymn, Rock, Heavy metal, and Opera. Each style flows along its own melody line and still harmonic.
These styles have also been used in various game soundtracks:

This piece is used in the final boss battle music:
th-cam.com/video/aN8QfDPANi8/w-d-xo.html
In my opinion, it's the best final boss music ever created in history. It complements the storyline perfectly, blending elements of tragedy, epicness, farewell, and excited to drive the plot forward.
I love how they reused the music in different parts of the game, giving listeners a sense of familiarity while still feeling fresh. After going through all the hardships to complete the game, they combine all these familiar tracks into a brand new ending, evoking memories of the effort put in to overcome various challenges.
It's truly insane music!
Id love to see more reactions to older devil may cry games, the dmc 5 tracks are awesome but the older ones deserve way more attention than theyre getting
Lol what the hell, I just listened to this song yesterday. I don't even play the games either and this is one of my new top favorite Game Soundtracks.
The chill parts play in the more emotional scenes while the busy ones play for basically the rest of the time
Capcom: It's just a gorey game with a funni pizza man with a cool swo-
Shootie HG: ✍️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is awesome since I just recently beat DMC3 for the first time so it's cool to see someone else's blind reaction to stuff from it so soon. I'm absolutely loving your reactions and breakdowns of these video game OST's!! I was wondering if you were thinking of doing anything from the FF7 games, more specifically One Winged Angel. It's pretty relevant since they've been remaking that game and One Winged Angel is ICONIC. It would be cool if you did the three major versions of it since they all released at different times and are very different from one another. They are long so it would probably be like a 3 video series but it would be incredible to see what you think of them. I remember you mentioning you like "foreboding orchestral pieces" so these would definitely fit that description. If you do decide to react to them down the line, the order would be One Winged Angel (original game), One Winged Angel: Advent Children (the movie version), then One Winged Angel Rebirth (the Remake version).
I play this music whenever I workout. It really brings out the inner beast/demon out of you
I love such music with progression and many layers
I C BAJS forsen1
My favorite OST
fun fact, the other lyrics have the exact note motif as the other NPC of the game, Lady. look up Lady's past (mission 10 end)
This is the music they used in the trailer if you wanna give it a watch.
There's variations of the melody in the game; but this plays during the credits, when you're killing enemies.
Loved the music analysis, was glad to see one of my favorite pieces from Devil May Cry done!
It’s widely known that the angelic music is Dante’s humanity and then the sudden drop and demonic roaring vocals are Dante slaying demons for the sake of the humans
Angels and Demons. Duality. You play as Dante, a half demon who slays demons. He's a good person, but he's still a demon. He has a twin brother, Vergil, who embraces his demon side more where Dante embraces his humanity more. Dante's mother was human and his father was a demon. In general, there's a lot of duality at work, which is reflected in the song.
The song plays as you fight, in the intro, in the ending credits fight, etc.
This was when DMC themes consistently started to just be bangers.
I guess the best way to describe the reasons for each piece is to say that the reverance the angelic ethereal sound is Dantes fathers power surging inside Dante and the growling and fast paced guitar is Dantes personality clashing or battling each other. You could say Dante is rebelling against his destiny or finding harmony with the destruction of his life. One thing is for sure though the devil power from Dante's father is awakening inside him and its up to Dante to grasp it and control it.
First ever exposure to this song was from one of Monty Oum's (rip) Dead Fantasy videos. Hitomi from Dead or Alive versus Tifa from Final Fantasy 7, fighting in a burning church.
Some more context, at the end of the game Dante dehumanizes himself by saying devils never cry, in another game he says the same thing while crying, acknowledging he's not just another demon. I believe the human voice is speaking about his family tree, his father being blessed by the water, the green leaf being his human mother and his human counterpart.
It's just a matter of time till you get to Ace Combat 7 - Daredevil ost and Ace Combat Zero - Zero ost.
This song always gets me pumped kicking demon ass!
I think the badadadada sound mimics the enemy spawning sound in the game.
U should totally react to dmc 4 shall never surrender. Just a pure masterwork
Really appreciate your take on listening to the music. Drum play throughs especially. You gotta see Alex Bent drum play through “betrayer” rumor has it he is a cyborg sent from the future.
''Felt like a shooting star''. That's the correct tone since while that part is playing, Dante is jumping from the top of a huge tower, killing demons in the air with his guns and sword. At some point, he's falling so fast that he's igniting himself with the friction. That's one of the most amazing moments in the franchise: when he has awakened his demonic powers right after fighting -and losing to- his brother, Vergil.
This is probably my favorite song.
Hey if you like this track and wanna hear more DMC3, you should totally check out Vergil’s third fight theme from the same game. Easily one of the game’s best pieces.
Good News th-cam.com/video/JeZXWkzj70s/w-d-xo.html
@@andrizzleton I appreciate the goodwill, but that’s DMC5.
@@rblossom956 oh my bad. Just thought you wanted more Vergil content. Vergil theme 2 is my favorite in DMc3
"Prince of Persia-Warrior Within soundtrack-Conflict at the entrance" your welcome.
A recommended song is Shall Never Surrender from DMC 4,also a killer vibe with many inspirations from Devils Never Cry but with a twist to be a worthy successor of it...
Thx for the vídeo,man! Keep it going🔥🔥🔥
Thanks to you I start to hear so much more detail!
Very cool
(I say that because of hand percussion in THAT soundtrack😁)
So fun to hearing details
The crowded different sounds have a meaning, it's the conflict Dante has in the game, doing the right thing but also transforming in a devil for the first time. Also the conflict he has with his twin brother Virgil, who is his total opposite. I love that part the most.
Yessss one of my favourite pieces of music just.. in general
The song makes a good deal of references to the actual game mechanics. The first line alone is even taunting players who use continues
The devils never cry leimotif in the game really sells some of the few and far between but legitimately emotional moments in a game about a cocky wahoo pizza man shooting demons and venting his boredom.
6:27 here we go here we go
This was peak ps2 childhood right here
For context when you asked at what point does this song play is at the end where you as Dante and a nother character called lady fight off demons while the credits role.
Time to watch this while I’m at work
Just started watching you and love the videos! You need to listen to "Meathook" from Doom Eternal. It is so strong!
I like Doom music so definitely will do that
not to go into hyper specific details. This game is about the main characters brother opening a portal to hell, and in the end, he stops the scheme, but cannot save his brother.
This track plays during an interactive credits scene where you kill the straggler demons on earth. He kinda masks his emotions by having fun killing the demons, but is clearly sad over the loss. That's why we have the 2 styles overlapping.
Tony did all the best DMC Themes !! YEY ~
Thanks for the review , I'm gonna binge-play DMC3 this weekend
Can you also do review for the Final Fantasy Dissidia NT Soundtracks ? most are instrumentals but feel good pieces
So glad you finally broke this down!
I feel like personally music feels different well in gameplay and well it is listened to outside the game like if a game hade music with lots of layers while in combat you might feel lost but outside of gameplay just listening I wish it had more layers
The two voices are often described as demonic vs angelic, but since the protagonist is half devil, half human, it could represent the struggle in his heritage
Hi Tony, whats the best way to request or recommend a piece of music I'd like you to do a reaction to?
he will 100% enjoy it
I def did
There is another verison of this song in Devil may Cry 5
Next: "Shall Never Surrender" from DMC4!
It's still my fav ost
I see you recently hearing ost game music too.
Well just need to know. Persona series especially 3,4,5 is the one of the game with the best ost. The 4 series of this game i love all the OST tho it's just my BS opinion since i love that game so much.
But it's true that Persona series well known for their good OST. You can search that on internet.
So just saying you can check that out.
My personal taste is on Persona 4 so i'm so happy if you do the 4 first. Which ost that i most love quite hard to say that since each of them has it's own thing that i like. But i recommended you to react the Poem for Everyone Soul first. Why?, since this song is probably the ICONIC song that use since the first series until now the fifth series.
So from persona 1-5 this song already been there but there's some change for the song, from persona 1 and 2 to 3-5. The most popular is 3-5. So The Poem For Everyone Soul more like song from 3-5.
Kind a confusing. But not really. If you search it it Will always showing from the 3-5 version. And that was the best version for me atleast and i think the most people like this as well since this was the most popular one.
excellent game with Gothic themes, visually and sonically
One of the best game ost i have ever heard...
You gotta react to the Nier OST's, both from Replicant, and Automata
The female vocals are from my favourite dmc 3 ost
Sonic and the secret rings “Seven rings in hand”
The Ultimate Demonic Anthem
You should react to “Libera Me From Hell” from Gurren Lagann
Definitely dig into some Berserk music, Berserk is a Manga/anime and I think you will love the music ost's, one of them is called "My brother"
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It'd be great if you could react to the third opening of Mob Psycho 100! You're gonna love it
Correct me if i'm wrong but I believe the only time that the song plays from start to finish uninterrupted or re-edited is during a credit sequence.
The composition is very indicative of the game its self, in that it has a 3 act structure, the organ section plays over the intro of the game but gets cut off before the industrial metal section and shows a vision of the main characters defeat/demise.
The metal section makes its appearance at the start of mission 8/20 after which the main character has suffered a loss, but due to circumstances has a new level of demonic power, it plays to him "taking the L" but realising he feels stonger and deciding to cut loose in one of the most hype cutscenes my child self ever saw growing up. Heavy nostalgia bias.
And then I believe that the final combined section only plays during that credit sequence at the end.
This game was very formative for me.
One of the best in the franchise
With the announcement of SH2 remake would love to see you react to silent hill2- theme of Laura and the (reprise) version
