New Devil May Cry Evanescence Anime Song Lyric Video Debuts

Netflix’s latest trailer for the Devil May Cry anime also functions as a lyric music video for the new Evanescence song “Afterlive.” The track is going to be a part of the soundtrack for the show when it begins streaming on the service on April 3, 2025.

Unlike most lyric music videos, the lyrics from the new Evanescence song are incorporated into the scenes from the Devil May Cry anime. So once Amy Lee’s vocals kick in, they will also appear in the background or foreground of the segments we see. So when the lyrics kick in at the 12 second mark, we see the words “hide” appear behind Dante, then “before the floodgates open” on guns of people heading out to hunt him down. This continues throughout the trailer, with the lyrics overlaid or hidden in the background of footage.

Here’s the full official lyric video for the new Evanescence song “Afterlife” on YouTube.

As a reminder, while this adaptation is based on the game series, it isn’t directly based on any particular entry. Instead, it’s set between the first two mainline games. The studio behind it is Mir, which also worked on the anime series The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep and The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf for Netflix. Its other game adaptation is Dota: Dragon’s Blood.

The Devil May Cry anime will begin streaming on Netflix on April 3, 2025. Devil May Cry 5 is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat is available on mobile devices.
