Adi Shankar is back with a bang with the Devil May Cry series, and it looks promising. Based on Capcom’s video game franchise, it is animated by Studio Mir. To make it better, it has an impressive cast of voice actors including Johnny Yong Bosch, Tony Todd and so on. But we’re not done yet.
Arguably, the plot and animation are top-tier with the upcoming series, but the same goes for its music. The artist lineup, including the songs and the background score, is truly remarkable. It fits perfectly with the show’s overall vibe, however, we’re just getting started with this one.
We got a glimpse of what’s about to come with Evanesence’s collaboration. It has viewers all pumped up and stoked for the upcoming series. But this soundtrack guide featuring the artist lineup and songs is sure to send us down memory lane. Let’s take a look at this one, shall we?
The artist lineup in the Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry is an upcoming animated adaptation of the video game franchise of the same name. It is produced by Adi Shankar, who previously worked on the animated series Castlevania. We all know it was a massive hit both globally and with domestic audiences.
In the 2025 DMC adaptation, though, he takes it up a notch. It is clear in the animation and the episode structure. There will be eight episodes in the first season. However, something even more exhilarating about it is the show’s music.
Other than characters and animation, what makes a series good is also the music. The show is set to deviate a little from the video game and that is totally understandable. This is something Shankar did previously with Castlevania as well but here he adds a unique flair to the adaptation.
In doing so, he brings out the horror, action, and fantastical elements through the music. This applies not only to the background score but also to the songs as well as the artists. With Evanescence we got a sneak peek into the artistic brilliance of the show however the artist lineup is much more than that.
If there’s one way to describe the soundtrack list, it would be iconic. There’s Papa Roach and Limp Bizkit, the nu-metal duo that needs no introduction. Both are successful artists who redefined the rock and metal scene.
Their tracks Rollin and Last Resort will be featured in the anime along with other artists. These include Gunship, Evanescence, Casey Edwards and other splendid performers. But hold up! The lineup isn’t finished yet as there’s a complete soundtrack guide for the viewers so lets check it out.
A complete soundtrack guide to the Netflix series
Netflix is outdoing itself through the DMC adaptation. Not just the artist but the complete soundtrack is pure art and deserves all the appreciation. The lineup and features were teasers, but we’ve got a complete guide for the viewers. From songs to musicians, the OST album is a complete treat.
From Gunship to Casey Edwards, here’s a list of all the songs and artists featured in the upcoming season:
- Evanescence – Afterlife
- Limp Bizkit – Rollin (Air Raid Vehicle)
- Rage Against The Machine – Guerilla Radio
- Papa Roach – Last Resort
- Casey Edwards – Devil Trigger (Power Glove remix)
- Crazy Town – Butterfly
- Gunship – Ghost
- Casey Edwards – Bury the Light (Power Glove remix)
- Green Day – mystery track
Netflix released a lyrical video of Afterlife that had fans all stoked and pumped up. The visuals are simply splendid and do justice to the overall vibe of the series. As for other songs, they fit in well with the show’s themes and elements.
To sum it up, the songs and choice of artists are spot on. The series is low-key metal and rock-coded, which is why the songs mesh well with the characters and their aura.
Devil May Cry anime is slated for release on 3rd April 2025. It will be available for streaming on Netflix.
