Although I’ve never played any of the Castlevania games (shame on me), I’ve long been a fan of their stellar soundtracks.  So it seemed appropriate to contribute a modernized remix in honor of a series of great, great music.

“Bloody Tears” is one of my favorite Castlevania MIDIs and although I didn’t write this song (full composition credit goes to the Konami Kukeica Club) or sequence this particular arrangement (Ricoberto Dones deserves full credit for that), I did arrange the instruments and fill out much of the accompaniment. I don’t know how this song sounds in the actual Castlevania II game, but this remix is pretty loud…

Hope you like it, and kudos to Kenichi Matsubara, Masahiro Ikariko, Kazuhiko Uehara, and T-San for their brilliant original rendition.
