As eager fans await the arrival of Dante in Netflix's adaptation of the infamous action-adventure hack-and-slash game by Capcom, Evanescence drops a new song specifically crafted for the hellish series. This collaboration truly marks a return to the peak of the early 2000s when both the rock band and the video game were at their most popular. Evanescence's ethereal dulcet tones against the heavy rock music are perfect for not only capturing the demon hunter's innermost thoughts but also his entanglement in the overarching storyline.

The Devil May Cry's anticipated April 3 release date. Though the clip was short and sweet, it captured the attention of fans who are now even more excited for the full debut of the song as well as its appearance in the anime, whether it comes out as a song in the series or a collaborative piece with DMC in a new music video by Evanescence.

Evanescence Raises Hell in New Song For Devil May Cry

Bringing Back Nostalgia from the 2000s Era

Evanescence and Devil May Cry were truly symbols of their time, but are far from entering irrelevance as both make a soaring return thanks to Adi Shankar and Netflix. Amy Lee's vocals in particular have always served as both an emotional and haunting sound, deeply contrasting the edgy alternative metal/gothic rock her band is known for. Evanescence's greatest hits to this day are 'Bring Me to Life' and 'My Immortal' which sought the band their early popularity. Now, years later, that same sound is revived in Devil May Cry's soundtrack.

The clip from 'Afterlife' is but a small snippet of the chorus and second verse of the song, loosely covering a cold realization that the singer is a pawn in a much larger game. While only a minute has been revealed today, the full cover of the song will premiere on Friday, March 28, and make an official appearance in Netflix's Devil May Cry anime on April 3.

'Afterlife' is More Than Just For Anime Fans

Celebration for Music and Evanescence Fans

'Afterlife' didn't just bring an homage for the 2000s to Devil May Cry alone, but also to the band. By using the classic logo of the band name that stands out with any extra additions and a more solid focus on Amy Lee's vocals, this brings back an era of Evanescence that fans can't help but compare to the earlier albums. Now fans of the video game, anime, and the band have something else to look forward to this spring season.
