While their stylistic origins are familiar, the series has never felt so morose musically. These themes all series' foundations while expanding its emotional capacity. Especially malevolent are the mission start themes, the first featuring angry utters from a male voice against unnerving strings, the second uncompassionate with its pressing suspended strings and percussion.
The tone of the game is reinforced by the ritualistic forces of the recurring mission clear and game over themes. One of the most important for setting the tone of the game is the "Divinity Statue" featuring a melancholic chorus accompanied by atmospheric suspended strings and ethnic percussion. It is without doubt the most established and effectual main theme of the series and the main source of melodic appeal in this score. It makes numerous emotional appearances throughout the soundtrack, ranging from piano-based retrospectives to orchestral event themes to climactic battle tracks. The beautiful main theme for the game is interpreted by pipe organ and chorus in the style of a lament, culminating in a string-based climax that is particularly powerful within the game. "Prologue" introduces the tragedy of the two brothers in conjunction with a retrospective narrative. Is it a good listening experience outside the game? Body A larger score than its predecessors, 104 tracks are spread across three discs in this complete soundtrack release, though over half of them are event themes of some sort.
Capcom intern Kento Hasegawa also created 21 themes, which are stylistically continuous with Shibata's themes but usually more elaborate. This resulted in riff-based battle themes, ambient stage themes, and no frills event themes, though there were several themes intended to provide major musical highlights. Responsible for the sheer majority of the huge score, Devil May Cry 2 returnee Tetsuya Shibata decided to create most themes with absolute efficiency, making his priority complementing the game rather than offering necessarily enjoyable or profound stand-alone listening material. Its score aimed to build on the foundations set by its predecessors and introduce new stylistic elements to the series such as heavy metal and noise music.
Devil May Cry 3 restored the series to its former glory with a prequel focusing on the tragedy of the demon brothers Dante and Vergil.
