Evanescence have shared an animated lyric video for their new song “Afterlife.” The track was written for Netflix’s “Devil May Cry” series and it will hit streaming services on March 28. The show will launch on April 3.
Singer Amy Lee told Billboard the following:
“I absolutely love the show, art and story. I have always loved good anime. Right from the first scene of the show, I knew it was going to be good. Creative and thought-provoking, horrific and beautiful, classic. For me, the song is both the pain and the resolve. From the perspective of someone who has lost so much, and will always carry the marks of that, but also someone who has reached the point of being past the fear. No trepidation, no hesitation in your quest when you have committed to the fight and have nothing left to lose.”
Showrunner and executive producer Adi Shankar added:
“Amy and her squad own this space. Evanescence sculpts entire emotional landscapes. Their sound is alchemy — gothic grandeur meets raw vulnerability, a fusion of cinematic and anthemic. Amy Lee is a frequency that cuts straight to the soul. The way Amy Lee’s voice carries pain, power, and transcendence in a single note is exactly what Devil May Cry needed. To me, it wasn’t about picking a band—it was about recruiting the only band that could make this moment immortal.”
