A love letter indeed, the amount of references through the lyrics is insane. Casey truly understood Vergil's character when writing this song and Victor... he incorporated Vergil's feelings, his pain, agony and motivation whilst singing. Freaking masterpiece.
I love your timing for when you speak. Even when you're speaking you pause when appropriate showing you're able to listen, appreciate and commentate all at once. VERY impressive. I couldn't do that.
1:40 Quick summary for the characters Dante (Main Character): Vergil's younger twin, very goofy and fun loving but gets serious when the situation calls for it. He 'killed' Vergil in DMC3 when they were about 19 or so and was depressed for decades following the loss of the last of his family. He believes true power comes from protecting that which is important. Vergil: The storm that is- just kidding. He's very cold and introverted, as a boy he enjoyed poetry and play fighting with his brother until they were both bloody. Is also defined by his trauma of not being able to protect his family as a child (

Each song does have a deeper meaning to the character it represents in some way. Now I am not sure about some of the lines so don't quote me on this but these are some key ones. "I am the Storm that is Approaching": Refers to a line from a character Vergil allied himself with in Devil May Cry 3. Which the character said "A storm is approaching "I am Reclaimer of my name:": At the end of DMC 3 Vergil was captured by Mundus and in DMC 5 he returned and reclaimed his name after being mindless for so long. "Forsakened I am awakened": At a very young age Vergil's childhood home was attacked and he thought his mother Forsake him(left him) and the "I am awakened" refers to his demonic power "Phoenix ash in dark divine: A figurative line when V (Vergil's human side) reunited with Urizen(Vergil's demon side) and returned which also Urizen was named a demon king Hench Dark Divine line. "Disappear into the night": In DMC4 Vergil traveled to a city and at the end of the Vergil story. He walks into the night and vanishes. "Bloodline Yearns": Regards to Nero (The one with Devil Trigger theme) existence which he did not learn of till DMC5 over 2 decades later(I think) in addition this adds to the previous line because he shared a room with a woman and vanished. :Bury the Light deep within": Ever since his house was attacked by demons Vergil journeyed the world in pursuit of power and wants to bury the light of his humanity to where it is never seen again. "Cast aside there's no coming home": Vergil knows he will never return to the home he once had and he knows that. "Were burning chaos in the wind": All the power Vergil has gotten has become fuel for chaos no matter where he goes. "Drifting in the ocean all alone": Vergil has no one. Father gone and presumed dead, Mother dead, home destroyed, and him and his brother has a eternal rivalry. He is drifting in the big ocean with no one to save him. Truly a heartbreaking song and the most heartbreaking out of the 4 main themes I feel. Hope you learned something new about the song.
I don't think that's what the 'bury the light' line refers to. Vergil is a weird mixture of neutral positive and evil. I think it's more that he becomes aware of the fact that his and his brother's, Dante, differences can be settled in other ways (just as Nero said). So, instead, I think it's the fact that he still has a glimmer of hope and purity deep within him, giving him that MOTIVATION.
Such a great choice! This song is wild. But overall the vocals are just unreal. His intonations, ability to climb pitch so smoothly, such talent. You know a song is gonna be crazy when it’s this long lmao!
That "guitar" you were talking about in the beginning is a bass. The composer was told not to use distorted guitars in Vergil's theme anywhere but the chorus. So he distorted a bass so heavily it could stand-in for a distorted guitar.
If I had a nickel for every time a game composer was told to not use guitars by higher-ups, but they worked around it and made it sound amazing anyway, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
The song is split up into parts that go from slower to more fast paced, and when you are playing the game it smoothly transitions from the start of the song to the crescendo the more chaotic your game-play becomes, I love it
I think there are very few competitors to this only ones I can think of are devils never cry (again dmc) and the only thing they fear is you(doom) as a short list
6:47 you are correct, the lyrics from the first breakdown that started at 6:02 is now whispered underneath the lyrics currently being sung. Casey Edwards and Victor Borba rightfully get a lot of credit for this song but the guy responsible for the mixing did a fantastic job and is largely underappreciated, shoutout to Adam "Nolly" Getgood.
2:48 The themes play whenever you are actively in combat (special exceptions for som boss themes) but the coolest thing to it is that they'll only play you individual layers of the song the progressively get added on to the more "Stylish" your combos are during combat
6:50 - to address it, i found out the previous section with the lyrics "Lurking in the shadows under veil of night" repeat in the slower lyrics soon after. it's a really nice touch. the only other Devil may cry soundtrack to have done anything like this was "Devils Never Cry" featured in the 3rd game
what i love here also is that, at 1:28 or so, the synths going medieval-like type of melody, WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, and totally works if you use the right instruments to make it sound medieval.
If you listen to the lyrics of this song it'll give you a good idea about who Vergil is. He's probably the coolest anti-villain in gaming history, twin brother of Dante - the protagonist of most of the Devil May Cry series, who is more of a laid back easy going _dude_ who likes pizza and motorcycles, Vergil is all about gaining new heights in power no matter the cost, and he has the will and discipline to achieve his goals. Both are sons of a devil named Sparda and of a human woman named Eva, because of their origins they are devil hybrids and are imbued with superhuman abilities. It's a pretty cool story which boils down to rivalry and childhood trauma.
Lovely video. I'm sure you likely know the backstory by now, but the main reason the song is so disjointed and scattered is Vergil in this game split himself into two entities, and both were vying for dominance before being reuinited as one by the story's climax. Vergil going from powerful, dominant music to melodic laments about his past, then back to powerful again is very fitting for his battle theme.
I think you would also like neros battle theme "devil trigger" as well from dmc5. Its also composed by casey edwards and there some fun similarities to this
During the section with the whispers, it's first part of the break that repeating. I went absolutely insane the first time I noticed that little detail
So the battle themes play during combat sections while playing as the characters themselves, but they have a dynamic progression to the music in-game that reactions to what is currently happening on screen. More enemies = more layers to the music to put it simply.
Hahaha... I was waiting for this one >:) One of those songs I will never forget. They other song Casey edwards made devil trigger is what got me into devil may cry. Played dmc5. Fricking loved it. Then I heard this. Instantly brought vergils dlc and that added tripple the hours I orignally had with the game.
The battle tracks play in the background during gameplay. There's a rating for the combat combos which the player does from D to SSS rank and this decides what part of the song plays.
I think a great piece of music to react to would be the OST of Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus, which blends pipe organ music with heavy industrial and electronic sound. "Children of the Omnissiah" and "Noosphere" are definitely where the fun is at in that OST!
Can you please make the music a bit louder in your videos? I find myself having to externally increase the sound to hear it as well, or even appreciate it.
Highly recommend many songs from FFXIV such as 'Flow' 'Close in the Distance' or my personal favourite 'Tomorrow and Tomorrow' All are beautiful pieces that I think you'd definitely enjoy
These song progreses in the game when you hit enemys in the games there are the ranks in igame D,C,B,A,S,SS,SSS and the song get louder its start slower then louder there parts in the song that where to go whit does ranks and then starts in which rank you are starts again from example If You have S or above it sings again ,,im the storm that im aproching ..."and next verse and it jumps to another verse short version every verse corespond with a rank.
interesting review. i could tell what you were listening to. the tune is filled to the brim with layers, off-beats, texture, arpeggio thingies and orchestra mix. it's not the chunky metal but is very dmc.
“Where in game do their battle tracks play” Well, it’s in the name isn’t it? In battle. To be more specific, the intensity changes with how well you are doing. The game ranks your performance in combat between D to SSS. Starting the fight or with a low rating it will play the opening notes, then escalate to the chorus when you hit an S rating or higher. There was a funny moment when the Demo for the game was released, and a bunch of game journalists played said “The music was too subdued and quiet”, which conflicted with the experiences of other players. It was then revealed that the mechanic of the music changing depending on performance was a thing, and the journos had just outed themselves as dogshit at the game.
I was more curious what the visuals were and the context around their battle tracks- are we fighting against Vergil or playing as him!! This is fun context!
@@emyoung In the original game, he was the final boss. They rolled out a DLC that lets you play as him with this theme being his dynamic soundtrack during fights. The “I am the storm that is approaching” section only kicks in when you’re really being flashy with some visually stunning combos.
You should try reacting to the Hollow Knight soundtrack and some other Devil May Cry franchise themes, like Devils Never Cry and Shall Never Surrender. You have a plethora of tracks from videogames to enjoy, either as from classics as from actual ones. :)
TLDR on Vergil: He's the twin brother of Dante, who is the main protagonist of the series. Vergil was the antagonist in DMC3 and 5, his demeanor is opposite of Dante's: He's cold, calculating, precise, like a master samurai, while Dante does guns blazing and improvising. Both are half-demon lords with amazing powers. Their battle themes play while you're playing as them, and in game it progresses from bridge to chorus as your Style Rank increases, which is a combo counter basically, going from D to SSS, which is when the Chorus blasts on.

Genuinely hadn’t thought about it but you’re right, the lyrics really are well thought out for meaning something about Vergil
@@skyyswaggstudios2934 And that's what happens when you get a composer who has played the previous DMC games
I don't think that's what the 'bury the light' line refers to.

@@justmultidimensional1759Casey has a video describing his thought process for all the lyrics just watch that to get exactly what he was thinking

So motivating.
The song is split up into parts that go from slower to more fast paced, and when you are playing the game it smoothly transitions from the start of the song to the crescendo the more chaotic your game-play becomes, I love it

So damn epic and dark, what a masterpiece!
I think there are very few competitors to this only ones I can think of are devils never cry (again dmc) and the only thing they fear is you(doom) as a short list
This song is a combination epicness and passion. A masterpiece
Not just that. It's full of MOTIVATION
I love this song and i'm glad you got to react to such amazing song !
I've never played more than a few minutes of a Devil May Cry game, but I still have this on my music playlist cause it absolutely slaps.

CANT stop listening to btl even outside of the game, ya chose a great one
Great reaction! Btw you have a beautiful smile !
Oh my. This is quite motivating.

This goes so hard but I also am so curious as to what shirt you have because it looks cool and I really want one like it
the art on my shirt is of Artorias from Dark Souls 1 ! I think it's a fangamer shirt:)
Thank god u did this
Actually in the game the intensity of the song changes depending on the level of the combo.
7:17 i love that u waited for the drop to start then continue talking after instead of over it!
Berry delight, my favourite.
The mere fact that you're listening to this song, this channel already feels sooo...... MOTIVATED!😂😂 that's a "like."
this is the best song ever made and vergil is the best devil may cry character
I think a great piece of music to react to would be the OST of Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus, which blends pipe organ music with heavy industrial and electronic sound. "Children of the Omnissiah" and "Noosphere" are definitely where the fun is at in that OST!
2:50 their battle theme plays literally every time they fight someone. There are a few exceptions to this. Bosses get their own themes.
Wow, there's so much music producer's no one ever heard about
The song is legendary. Idk why i never picked up on it, but this song gives me Lune by Periphery vibes
I agree, makes sense since I think nolly did the mixing on the song.
Her smile just before the solo! That build up made her feel it
Can you please make the music a bit louder in your videos? I find myself having to externally increase the sound to hear it as well, or even appreciate it.
He is the storm that is approaching. that’s is all you need to know
nice. "the time has come" has to be my favourite dmc tune.
Love to see ur reaction on the masterpiece 🔥✨
So when you said you can hear whispers in the background of the track its the bridge being repeated
I love this one!
Totally unrelated track id love to see u react to is ‘Replicate’ from Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Highly recommend many songs from FFXIV such as 'Flow' 'Close in the Distance' or my personal favourite 'Tomorrow and Tomorrow'
All are beautiful pieces that I think you'd definitely enjoy
That chorus is similar to the chorus in
Reptile by periphery. Also periphery orchestra stuff is cool.
These song progreses in the game when you hit enemys in the games there are the ranks in igame D,C,B,A,S,SS,SSS and the song get louder its start slower then louder there parts in the song that where to go whit does ranks and then starts in which rank you are starts again from example If You have S or above it sings again ,,im the storm that im aproching ..."and next verse and it jumps to another verse short version every verse corespond with a rank.
Okay side note, your reactive recording overlay is sick
does a pretty damn good job showing me his motivation
Ngl talking over this particular guitar solo is usually considered a mortal sin lmao
Can’t wait for you to play DMC5

You should definitely listen to the Metal: Hellsinger soundtrack, its sick!
Now im motivated
The composer was inspired by mick Gordon too
fun fact: they only used electric guitar in chorus and bridg2 solo guitar . not entirely of the song .

TLDR on Vergil: He's the twin brother of Dante, who is the main protagonist of the series. Vergil was the antagonist in DMC3 and 5, his demeanor is opposite of Dante's: He's cold, calculating, precise, like a master samurai, while Dante does guns blazing and improvising. Both are half-demon lords with amazing powers.
Their battle themes play while you're playing as them, and in game it progresses from bridge to chorus as your Style Rank increases, which is a combo counter basically, going from D to SSS, which is when the Chorus blasts on.
