Evanescence’s Amy Lee Inspired by ‘Horrific & Beautiful’ Netflix Series ‘Devil May Cry’ for New Song ‘Afterlife’: Animated Video Premiere


Evanescence contributed a new track, "Afterlife," to 'Devil May Cry,' an upcoming Netflix animated series based on the popular Capcom video game.

Evanescence’s Amy Lee wrote “Afterlife” with Mako (real name Alex Seaver), and while she wasn’t familiar with the Devil May Cry series before, she tells Billboard, “I absolutely love the show, art and story.” Shankar describes Devil May Cry as a “melancholic rock & roll Shakespearean tragedy — an operatic dance between fate, loss, and the relentless pursuit of redemption,” noting that “Afterlife” resonates with “two pivotal narrative threads” leading up to “several” season 1 plot twists. “When part of the child dies through heartbreak, the adult self is sentenced to an unending quest — seeking to reclaim what was lost, to heal a wound that has shaped them in ways they may never fully understand.
