So beyond Devil Trigger, what track are you most proud of? While Devil Trigger gets most of the attention on the DMC 5 soundtrack, there’s plenty of other cracking tracks on there from you and others. I’m happy that in some small way I can give that to others. I’m moved by music pretty much every day of my life. ” and then “but it’s not that bad… is it?” With that said, feeling admired for making someone else have a joyful moment on some level never gets old to me. If someone dislikes something I did it’s kind of even more complicated because I’ll simultaneously think, “yeah you’re probably right…. If someone showers me with praise I get skeptic as to why they like this regular thing I did that’s probably not even all that great. Do you find it tough to accept praise for your music? You often see musicians agonize over the end result no matter what the reception is. At one point on YouTube, if you counted the multitude of uploads that were made by fans, we had over 30 million views. Currently, on Spotify, the song has 7.2 million streams. After the trailer dropped, the track was immediately put onto all major music platforms for purchase or stream and we also dropped a music video edit. It still blows my mind! I was both excited and terrified when they told me they were using my track as the announcement music for DMC5 at e3 in 2018. Did it please you that the song resonated as it did beyond just being a soundtrack song? So I did my best to combine all those worlds together in one song.ĭevil Trigger blew up well before the game actually released. But at the same time, I didn’t want to abandon that hard edge that DMC music has had since the beginning. My goal from the beginning was to represent Nero with EDM + pop. Yeah, for sure! But only in the sense of genre-mashing, and not a direct song or theme referencing. That was a huge geek-out day for me!ĭid the soundtracks for any previous Devil May Cry games inspire your musical choices? Not only was I already a DMC fan, but I’ve been a fan of Johnny’s work on MMPR since the early 90’s when I was a kid.
Also, I don’t want to glaze over that last part so quickly. While I was there they showed me some brief early looks at how the final fight was going to look as well.
Later on, I had the pleasure of meeting Itsuno and a few other Capcom guys at a V/O session with Johnny Yong Bosch, who voices Nero. When I first started Devil Trigger I was sent a few clips of Nero fighting in a confined apocalyptic urban setting to see how the game moved and looked, but that was about it. Edwards contributed plenty more to that soundtrack too, and Bloody Disgusting got the chance to talk to him about his inspiration, influences, working methods, and of course, horror.īloody Disgusting: How much of the game had you seen before you started composing Devil Trigger?Ĭasey Edwards: I didn’t see much of the game at all during my entire process of writing Devil Trigger, The Duel, or Silver Bullet. The track has been listened to tens of millions of times since it was first heard alongside the Devil May Cry 5 reveal trailer at last year’s E3. As we may have mentioned before, Devil May Cry 5 has an absolute corker of a soundtrack ( not the only one in this series!), and the most prominent and popular example of that is Nero’s stonking theme Devil Trigger by composer Casey Edwards featuring vocals from Ali Edwards.
