A brand new Papa Roach song will feature on the soundtrack for Netflix’s animated Devil May Cry adaptation.
The second season of Devil May Cry is due to hit the streamer next month (May 12). Based on the violent fantasy series of games, Adi Shankar’s animated adaptation sees “sinister forces at play, [trying] to open 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.”
Devil May Cry’s first season featured Limp Bizkit classic ‘Rollin’ as the theme song, while Papa Roach’s ‘Last Resort’ soundtracked the launch trailer. Evanescence also contributed a brand new song ‘Afterlife’ to the series. Explaining Devil May Cry’s nu-metal heavy soundtrack, series creator Adi Shankar said: “My universe is set in a late ’90s/early 2000s PS2 era of the world. It’s not set in modern times. It’s set in my memory of the world, pre- and post-9/11. My music choices reflect this.”
Yesterday (April 28) Papa Roach confirmed they’d be returning to the Devil May Cry soundtrack with brand new track ‘See U In Hell’. The song is a collaboration with rapper Hanumankind and will be released May 7.
