Evanescence’s “Afterlife” Lyric Video from “Devil May Cry” Features New Footage from the Netflix Series

Continuing the nu-metal throwback that also includes Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach, the “Devil May Cry” soundtrack has a new Evanescence song titled “Afterlife.”

Co-written by Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee and Alex “Mako” Seaver, the lyric video below features new footage from the show.

The song will be available on streaming platforms at midnight, and the full “Devil May Cry” soundtrack drops on April 3 — the same day the eight-episode anime hits Netflix.

Based on the Capcom video game franchise, the series is created by Adi Shankar (“Castlevania,” Dredd), who also serves as showrunner, and produced by South Korean animation studio Studio Mir (“The Legend of Korra,” “X-Men ’97”).

Sinister forces are at play at the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon hunter for hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck.

Johnny Yong Bosch (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” Akira) voices Dante. Fans of the games will recognize his voice as Nero, Dante’s nephew.

The voice cast also includes Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween), Hoon Lee (“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”), Kevin Conroy (“Batman: The Animated Series”), Chris Coppola (Postal), Robbie Daymond (“Spider-Man”), and Tony Todd (Candyman).

Created by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry game was released in 2001. There are now five main games in addition to several reboots, spin-offs, special editions, and mobile games.
