Thanks for listening! 🤘💀🤘

This song is a massive love letter to the fans of the series. Casey and Victor did an amazing job composing this masterpiece.

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.

ALL I HEAR IS PURE MOTIVATION FLOWING IN MY BODY

Tbh it was a really nice detail when you waited for the incoming drop before finishing your sentence, mad respect hahaha!

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!

Yes! Can't wait to see what you think of the other songs!

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 (

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.

Just a cool detail, He sings ”Bury the Light” only ONCE. Such a work of art. Nice reaction.

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

We fight through fire and ice forever. Two souls, one lost, and now they remember. So motivating.

This song is a combination epicness and passion. A masterpiece

The best song I heard in a video game. So damn epic and dark, what a masterpiece!

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.

I didn't realize what Bury the Light was, until I beat the game and started playing with Vergil. Then it hit me what the song was. It was beautiful.

NOW SHE"S MOTIVETIED !!!🔥🔥🔥

I love this song and i'm glad you got to react to such amazing song !

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.

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.

I respect the MOTIVATION to react to this masterpiece of a video game OST

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.

5:32 goosebumps

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.

“YOU SHALL DIE!” I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!

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

every time when i listening Bury The Light, i fill up MOTIVATION and POWER. Thank u for this video

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.

CANT stop listening to btl even outside of the game, ya chose a great one

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.

Her smile just before the solo! That build up made her feel it

Oh my. This is quite motivating.

"where in-game do their battle music tracks play?" When you earn them.

Thank god u did this

Love to see ur reaction on the masterpiece 🔥✨

He is the storm that is approaching. that’s is all you need to know

Iam the Storm that is Approaching!!!

nice. "the time has come" has to be my favourite dmc tune.

Actually in the game the intensity of the song changes depending on the level of the combo.

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!

2:48 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

That chorus is similar to the chorus in Reptile by periphery. Also periphery orchestra stuff is cool.

this is the best song ever made and vergil is the best devil may cry character

This song specifically plays when you fight against him.

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

The mere fact that you're listening to this song, this channel already feels sooo...... MOTIVATED!😂😂 that's a "like."

7:17 i love that u waited for the drop to start then continue talking after instead of over it!

6:47 yeah, the previous quiet voice part is playing below the current one

This is.....POWER 🔥🔥🔥

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

does a pretty damn good job showing me his motivation

Wow, there's so much music producer's no one ever heard about

I love this one! Totally unrelated track id love to see u react to is ‘Replicate’ from Destiny 2: Beyond Light

Thank for the video

The song is legendary. Idk why i never picked up on it, but this song gives me Lune by Periphery vibes

NOW IM MOTIVATED

Can’t wait for you to play DMC5 Or any DMC game

MOTIVATED!!!!!!

Berry delight, my favourite.

Motivation

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.

A very motivated reaction🪑

Now im motivated

Now im motivated 😂

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.

Fun fact: the last 2 minutes not was planning, but Casey love the game and him want to add More un the song

2:50 their battle theme plays literally every time they fight someone. There are a few exceptions to this. Bosses get their own themes.

"Where in the game does their battle them play?" Me: "In battle?" lol

I listened to this year's ago.

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.

Now ı am motivated

Never lose your smile :)

I am motivated

That face tell everything honestly ~What Demons is

MOTIVATION

This is not just vergil theme i explain who he is

Slave knight Gael ost from Dark souls 3 . You NEED to hear it. Its the best ost from fromsofware history

Эта песня, и сам трек в целом просто идеально описывают Верджила. Спасибо Кейси, и Виктору за этот нереальный шедевр.

You should definitely listen to the Metal: Hellsinger soundtrack, its sick!

Oooh new channel just for me?? Algorithm your the best

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. :)

Easily the best video game song of all time

You should listen to Geoffplaysguitar cover of this song in the style of Doom it's sick mate

Listen: theme of Chrono trigger

You should really take a look at how DMCV and many other games handle their adaptive music. Also, turn the damn volume up, please.

me staring at the walmart employees dead in the eye while shoplifting

She almost fell asleep while listening to this masterpiece

try to react Devil Trigger it also badass and motivating

The composer was inspired by mick Gordon too

The Alpha and the Omega

“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.

Do dark souls 3 tittle screen theme, it goes insanely hard

please do Destiny 2 Beyond Light track 1- "Beyond Light" and from the same collection "Frigid Tomb"

If you're going to react to any more devil may cry, I reccomend the devil may cry 3 ost, it's my favourite soundtrack ever

👍

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.

Brazilians go hard.
