Massive Castlevania Rock Medley - Must listen material

Post by Satoshi_Matrix »

Not sure if many of you have seen this or not, but just in case, you gotta check this out.

From the crazy awesome NicoNico Douga community to youtube comes a massive medley of over 120 minutes of continuous Castlevania rock remixes spanning the entire lineage of the series from Akumajou Dracula Arcade to the modern HD titles. No game is unrepresented, even the GameBoy titles and the the SD parody game Boku Dracula Kun/Kid Dracula.

If you like gothic rock even a little bit, this is worth not only a listen, but a download. mp3 is included with the video.

Enjoy!

Or 80 minutes of music. Still, that's a fuckton of music.

I found this a couple months back and listened through the whole thing. Putting YouTube on in the background while I browse the web to kickass music is sort've my routine.

There's links to the mp3s there as well. Great for itunes or any mp3 player. This is top notch stuff.

I love this music (I own a few Castlevania soundtracks; ie- Curse of Darkness, Symphony of the Night, 20th Anniversary CD). These are some gorgeous remixes. Thanks for sharing. 8)

Listened through it at work. Made a slow day seem a bit more epic.

It's pretty good, and a fairly interesting project, but I'm someone who's been listening to Dwelling of Duels tunes for some time, and none of this dude's mixes or guitar work are anything new, really. Seems that when people do the guitar/synthesized orchestra remixes of Cvania tunes, they all go to the exact same place, and what they get sounds remarkably similar, varying a bit by the individual guitarists skill but with almost identical orchestration.

I think I'd be more likely to go back and listen again if he'd done something truly original with the tunes.
