(If anything, these moments make me worried Eddie Hermida has lost all of his vocal chops). The squealing high-pitched screams don't fit a DMC soundtrack, nor do the weird drawly sung vocals that show up later on either.

Other than the mix featuring really placid instrumentals, the vocals are far too out in the foreground. However, the vocal performances and the song's mix do not help matters. To be generous, it's a somewhat serviceable deathcore track one that's better than most of the material from Suicide Silence's disastrous self-titled record. The song by itself outside of the game's context, is.

Stylistically and thematically fitting for the characters and the game's narrative? Absolutely! In the case of ' Subhuman', it just doesn't seem to fit into DMC5 nor the series as a whole. Not only that, it's tonal shifts with added game samples, melodic vocals and instrumental changes in the second half leaned into that game's theme of determination also being a sudden musical shift that mirrored the game's plot shift from Nero to Dante halfway through, and then back to Nero for the finale. It's corny, but it worked wonders in-game, and for the story arcs of Dante, Lady and Vergil as well. Then DMC4's jungle drum beats and chugging industrial-metal of ' Shall Never Surrender' worked as a solid battle theme too. DMC3's solid though albeit edgy theme, ' Devils Never Cry', used gravely whispered vocals, goth vibes, choral sections, juxtaposed tones, electronic percussion, and over-saturated nu-metal riffs to real effect. As a fan, this track also seems like a miss-understanding of the source material, especially when considering past music used for the series beforehand.
