<p id="HZW08J"><a href="https://www.polygon.com/game/devil-may-cry-5/40387"><em>Devil May Cry 5</em></a>&#8217;s battle theme for Dante, &#8220;Subhuman,&#8221; <a href="http://www.capcom-unity.com/dubindoh/blog/2018/12/06/devil-may-cry-5-an-important-update-on-dantes-theme-song-subhuman">has new vocals</a> after Capcom removed the original singer from the soundtrack in light of a controversy that quickly followed the song&#8217;s debut at Tokyo Game Show.</p>
<p id="XMGvor">The song is performed by Cody Matthew Johnson featuring Suicide Silence, whose frontman, Eddie Hermida, originally sang the main vocals. After Capcom revealed the song in September, <a href="https://www.polygon.com/game/devil-may-cry/6001">Devil May Cry</a> fans pointed out that Hermida had been accused by a 17-year-old girl of coaxing her into sending him nude pictures of herself. </p>
<p id="3mvzmw">Capcom, then as now, says that Hermida and Suicide Silence recorded the track for <em>Devil May Cry</em><em> 5</em> before the allegations surfaced in November 2017. Still, the publisher pulled a video of the band performing it at Tokyo Game Show 2018 and said it would no longer use it in promotional materials.</p>
<p id="3xul4c">Today, the company <a href="http://www.capcom-unity.com/dubindoh/blog/2018/12/06/devil-may-cry-5-an-important-update-on-dantes-theme-song-subhuman">announced on the Capcom-Unity blog</a> that &#8220;Subhuman&#8221; now features vocals by Michael Barr. All of the other original artists, except Hermida, are still involved in Dante&#8217;s battle theme. &#8220;As you hear the new track in new promotional materials and in-game, please expect the instrumental parts to sound the same as before,&#8221; the company said. &#8220;In-game credits have also been updated to properly reflect the new recording.&#8221;</p>
<p id="V89ha6">In November 2017, <a href="http://loudwire.com/suicide-silence-eddie-hermida-apology-accused-sexual-misconduct/">Hermida apologized</a> after an Austrian fan accused him, in a since-deleted series of messages on social media, of coercing her into sending nude pictures of herself when she was 17. Hermida&#8217;s apology said she had told him she was 18, a claim she denied.</p>
