Devil May Cry 5 - Bury The Light | Reacting To Video Game Music! 

I'm not worthy. Thanks for the tunes friend, big fan 🥂

Thank you for composing such a masterpiece.

the god himself!!😭😭😭😳

A legend has appeared

The man himself has been summoned, what an honor. Thank you so much for this timeless masterpiece

when you can mix filthy guitar with serene strings you are an amazing composer

I wonder if the violins has something to do with vergil's personality or something? What do you think?

@XymEow thx dude, makes sense

@@mia3033 To add to what the other guy said. Vergil loves a lot of classical things **SPOILER ALERT** In one of the old mangas there was a man that "raised" Vergil (can't think of another word right now) and he said that Vergil was a really nice kid that liked to read a lot, especially poetry. He'd go to the man and read some of his books, that's where V's personality comes from, V is just Vergil's human side obviously, but also his "nobody" because Vergil buries him down deep within him, and doesn't wanna show that side since he considers it weak (More spoilers) since Vergil was outside playing (as seen in DMC5 when V was talking about how he was playing) when the demons attacked and they almost killed Vergil who didn't have enough strength since he was really young to deal with them and that's why Vergil is obsessed with getting more power, so he'd never need anyone's help anymore, because he swore he'd never let something like that ever happen to him again. In conclusion, Vergil is a really nice guy just blinded by trauma.

@@itsmrdante6274 your last sentence basically sums up Virgil's personality.

I've noticed I tend to jynx myself 100% of the time

"This better deliver." Casey Edwards: And I took that personally.

It’s not delivery. It’s MOTIVATION

This is why I started doing this

Honestly, I've never met someone in-person who ever trashed Video Game BGM. I can only imagine it's snobbish musicians and related ilk, people I never fucking see. Composers under the Big Three (Nintendo, Xbox, Sony) all have financial access to orchestra of any size, and to an extent smaller developer's too, just with a size (budget) limit. Early VG composing is typified by innovation and intense creativity due to technological constraints. Video Game Music isn't even a genre really, because OSTs vary wildly. From the Classical and (sometimes) Prog inspired Final Fantasy, to Death Metal Mick Gordon Doom, to the purely Rock inspired Megaman, hell indy title VA11 HALL-A (Valhalla) is comprised of various EDM (Electronic Dance Music) tracks from different electronic genres.

@@mikkaelmansbridge5154 it’s just not really mainstream. The people who listen to it like it but people who listen to the radio or follow rap, pop or rock would be like “game music? Weird.”

@@mikkaelmansbridge5154 Yeah, I don't hang out with people who have this mentality, but I do occasionally cross paths with someone willing to let me know they think videogame music is "not real music." Sometimes they're highly competent snobs, but more often it's just people who view videogames as a low/simple form of entertainment, and they associate that view with the music that's paired with games. I'm sure they exist, maybe even in great numbers, but I've never dealt with anyone who vehemently defended that view. They realize quickly that it's deeper than they think, at least when confronted with someone who's willing to point out how silly they were being.

@@Spritzkrieg I sometimes wonder what do they consider "real music"?

Though we are BROTHERS, Dante, you call me by the wrong name. My true name, now, is JEFF *BEZOS*

@@TheDangerNoodle it's fucking delicious Dante, i can already feel the burden of taxes falling off my body.

max0r enjoyers. I love to see my fellow viewers

*Once consumed, the paperwork will be sent within 14 business days by my mediocre secretary~*

Oh that's awesome! Thanks :D

not subhuman

Yeah, and the game reviewers said the music was shit because they weren't good enought to get a high rank

@@ironboy3245 to be fair, the first couple DMC games were too easy. I guess they didn't want to make that mistake again lol

@@solblackguy yeah but they at least had easy mode for the reviewers

@@ironboy3245 cant find that article. Where is it?

When he said "Vergil" he sounded like Dante after the big reveal

Fr tho

Man I'm also scratching my head thinking about this.

My guy just mimicked the voice of a character he barely even knew, HOW?

Damn that "Vergil" was 100% Dante

I see what you did there and I appreciate it. 😂

The music doesnt get louder, but it does switch between the verse, bridge, and chorus depending on your style rank

Honestly, that's my favourite part of the song. It has this big, epic, menacing sounding to it. The lyrics are cool and all...Then, like halfway through you realize how much is Vergil's mentality, and coping with his past...And the ending, my fuckin god, it get's me every time.

@@mr.cookey especially when you remember in lore Vergil was unfortunate to be stuck defending himself against the demon hordes when he was a child during Mundus' minions raid on the family.

Damn, just gotta drop that thought like napalm, eh? ... I mean, you're RIGHT, but my heart still aches over the fact that Brutal Legend had to take the hit for a very valid, very precise compliment. I guess I could just take solace in the fact it's very difficult to be more metal than Brutal Legend, and DMC is the only one to do so.

@@pedrobmf262 DOOM is a very interesting metal.

@@christiankirby8092 chainsaw and lawnmower metal

@@koenverrijt1493 now thats my kind of METAL!!!

@@christiankirby8092 Argent metal is what alot of folks refer to it now.

I would pin this comment if Casey hadn't seen it.

I find it hilarious that banning the use of regular guitars just results in an even heavier metal sound

Capcom known for questionable decisions...

I think this needs some clarification. Capcom set the expectation of not using electric guitars unless it was the chorus, which I did. Next, it's not a contrabass, it's a synthetic bass I made using U-He's Zebra that's been processed to hell and back. Cheers!

I guess the reason of the veto is because the electric guitar is more symbolic of Dante due to Nevan?

@@JessesAuditorium The release of Clover was the biggest letdown but other than that it usually led to innovation so I’m not mad

Same here lol, it popped in my RU-vid recommendation and suddenly I’m purchasing a game about wacky woohoo pizza man adventures with kylo ren and Nero

Very much suggest playing the other dmc games as well. They're pretty damn good. Well... Maybe skip dmc2 but... eh

Same here, I saw Bury the Light a few months ago before hearing a bit of the "I am the storm that is approaching" in a video clip and thought it was really good Listened to the whole song and decided it was enough motivation to buy and play the game

Play DMC3, you won't regret it

Okay awesome but you should play the old games! DMC3 is one of the greatest games I've ever played. All 4 previous games are available on all platforms!

*saves to watch later*

@@JessesAuditorium screw that, save it to watch now, its really interesting imo

don’t forget. *motivation.*

He actually play ffxiv?

welp. You can't yet use the Yamato like a boomerang as vergil does in the last cutscene

@@gametorch623 you can do it with mirage edge though

@@dylanbell268 Not the same feeling...

@@gametorch623 replying from 11 months later but there’s also a yamato stinger move in the cutscene

My only complaint about dmc5 was it was too linear.

@@Zelisius ...What did you expect from a DMC game tbh? They've always been mission based.

@@gbtygfvyg true, but at least dmc 1 and 3 felt like they had some exploration to them. You weren't always traveling in straight line.

@@Zelisius i think they reduced the puzzles to maximum. Hm i think a bit would be better just to break the linearity. But the combat is so good tho.

you were born with MOTIVATION

And the man the myth the legend, he himself, Victor Borba

There's actually also the opposite vocals blended but they're more like whispers so that's why you cant hear them.

And the soft-spoken part before the back and forth reminds me of the first verses of Shall Never Surrender. Truly a masterpiece.

It also has a very obvious callback to Devil's Never Cry, too. The whole song honestly feels like the entirety of the DMC series compressed into musical bliss.

@@1Synner The Devils Never Cry callback is a motif you can even find the initial forms of in Nelo Angelo's theme, Ultraviolet.

Wait- no way!? That was him?? Victor Borba in EW soundtrack? Edit: involved with the production but not singing..?

To be fair, anything by Mick Gordon is a banger. Also Andrew Hulshult. I got to the point where if I see a game composed by him, it's an instant buy. Yeah, even the Rise of the Triad remake. I basically bought a soundtrack that came with free janky game lol

Never bored listening to it, I love to sing it but some high notes I cannot reach, damn it !

Thank you! Hopefully beginning of November 🤍

@@JessesAuditorium If you take a listen to Subhuman, make sure you listen to the OST version. The most common version of it on RU-vid is the in-game version which is missing certain things from the OST version.

if you've never heard "A phantom pain" from MGSV I would highly recommend it, might be one of my favorites from the MGSV soundtrack.

@@Malficious MGSV, while maybe not the best game in the series, absolutely nailed the OST.

love snake eater 🍷

It's funny you mention the MGS songs as I play them together with Bury the Light during my exercise...they give off the same hyping energy...

Fuck, love me some Subhuman. Definitely hope he listens to them.

Huh? He's a dlc character what are you talking about...

:D! ty

Soon hopefully! Need more DMC in my ear holes

@@JessesAuditorium you're gonna like it 😎
