What’s different about working on the Devil May Cry series compared to the Resident Evil series that’s been your focus for most of the last decade? Also: “music with a touch of death.” In other words, even if the song is upbeat, you can feel a sense of fear or cold - dark elements. Music that rocks - or in other words, music that doesn’t fit too much with theory, that sounds cool, and exudes originality. What is the essence of Devil May Cry, the mood that you’re trying to capture in the songs you make for this series? I also got a chance to compose a song for the “Devil May Cry HR/HM Arrange” album in 2015, and received various advice from the Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition and Devil May Cry 5 audio lead Kakunoshin Atsumi on “Devil May Cry-ness.”
It had been 10 years since composing for DMC4, so first I replayed DMC4 to remember how it feels to play that game.
How did you get yourself back in the Devil May Cry mindset for this soundtrack? How did he get himself back in that over the top, righteous, just slightly cheesy (in the best way) rock sound? Suzuki and I discussed coming back to Devil May Cry, making music “with a touch of death,” Resident Evil, and his work on the only samurai game to star Jean Reno.ĭevil May Cry 5 was something of a homecoming for you as a composer as Devil May Cry 4 was your second big project with Capcom. Laced Records and Capcom will be issuing his work from the game in a series of releases, including a massive four LP vinyl boxset, a five CD boxset, and a slick two LP standard edition feature select tracks. Devil May Cry 4 was his first major soundtrack handled primarily on his own. While he’s spent most of his time at the company working on the Resident Evil series, his most recent work is a sort of homecoming.ĭevil May Cry 5 is not just the first Capcom-developed entry in the series since 2008, but the first to feature Suzuki’s music since then as well. Specializing in a mixture of orchestral ambiance and hard rock, Suzuki’s music has embodied a distinctly Capcom flair since he first joined the company back in the PlayStation 2 era. If you’ve played a Resident Evil or Monster Hunter game in the past 15 years, you’ve heard Kota Suzuki’s music.
