The Satan Could Cry Present’s Intro Tune Is So Stupidly Wonderful

Earlier this week, Netflix pulled again the curtain on its 2025 slate, which incorporates the beforehand introduced Devil May Cry adaptation. Together with a premiere date of April 3, we received a have a look at the present’s opening credit, and so they’re a riot. What makes them so good? The track, naturally.

Of all of the tunes to open a Satan Could Cry present, Limp Bizkit’s 2000 single “Rollin’” is just not the one anyone most likely would’ve ever guessed. If something, that is the very best track that might’ve been picked, and never simply because “Rollin’” and Satan Could Cry 3, whose manga the present appears to be taking some plot components from, respectively flip 25 and 20 this yr. From its a number of protagonists to the music that blares as Dante, Nero, and whoever else slice up demons with their comically massive weapons, DMC is a collection constructed on silly swagger and feeling like the good child within the room. It’s really a product of the 2000s, which additionally goes for Limp Bizkit because it received to be featured within the first Quick & Livid and Mission: Impossible 2.

If the Satan Could Cry’s intro is providing you with any nostalgia for the responsible pleasure bands of your youth, that’s a part of the purpose. Government producer Adi Shankar revealed the present is about in his reminiscence of a “late ’90s/early 2000s PS2 period” of the world fairly than current day. Because it’s a throwback, the allegedly kickass soundtrack can have a combination then-current hits and basic DMC songs reimagined by digital band Energy Glove. And if the present will get to proceed, Shankar mentioned future seasons can have their very own distinctive feels (much like how the video games do), and alter up their intro songs and sequences. This present intro reveals the collection can have somewhat little bit of every thing: not solely do the swords Yamato and Pink Queen—respectively owned by Dante’s twin brother Vergil and his nephew Nero—characteristic prominently in the beginning, later sequences trace on the inclusion of a number of sport villains like unique massive unhealthy Mundus and the Order from DMC 4, plus Woman, an ally of Dante’s who first confirmed in DMC 3.

How a lot of that is really within the season versus planting seeds for what Shanker hopes is an ongoing hit? We’ll discover out when Satan Could Cry hits Netflix on April 3.
