Castlevania - Bloody Tears Orchestra

An orchestration of Bloody Tears from the Castlevania series of games. This started as a test of something I'm working on and then progressed into a sort-of-full piece.

 Wow, this is the most realistic digital orchestra i have ever seen.

I never realized how much the silhouette of the Castlevania logo looked like the Combat Cross from the reboot until now.

I really like the heroic feel of this. To me, it feels like a fallen, broken, and forgotten hero returning home after many years to finally vanquish the man who killed him once and for all. He meets up with his badly injured oldest and dearest friend and is both hurt that he let this happen and angry at his killer for attacking his friends out of spite. Blood will spilled, and it won't be his, because his already was.
My point is good work! I love this rendition!

[Mokiefraggle]

I like this.  More particularly, it's the first time I've heard someone do a take on Bloody Tears that wasn't a metal cover of it; I like hearing it as a classical, orchestral piece, as it gives it a depth that screeching guitars and the like don't.

[BigBoo]

What a horrible night to have a curse!

[JohnnyGameGuy]

After a few more listens, I must add that I absolutely love the chanting that comes in during the heavy part. I can't wait to see what you upload next!

[DanMegacam]

Love the change from loud choir to the epic softer parts.

Thanks for not making this an april fool's joke! This is probably one of my favorite orchestrations you've done to date.

oh my god! i've been searching for a good remix of bloody tears for ages now, but they all have the problem of being slowed down, but this one, oh no! it's awesome and quick paced like the original 8-bit soundtrack. love it man, keep up the great work. :)

[Skoshtwo]

The King himself has approved this post! Brilliant work!

[xXPROUDGAMERXx]

seriously how well you do on these songs make me want to cry they are so good. I can never find anything as good as your stuff

[qwergg]

And this is why I, and almost all your subscribers love you more than we love ourselves.

[uzumaki]

A brilliant composition for such a famous piece of gaming music!

Also, two zombies accidentally hit the dislike, to which Simon whipped them into little pixel fires.

[overipecanine]

The opening with the trumpets and vocal entry is the best, wish there was a version more like that. Something with a constant oomf, like you just tossed a dagger into the candleabra to see the cross and you are making a break for it throught the Medusa heads and Axe throwers.

[GalenValdrof]

Anyone else get goosebumps hearing this version for the first time? Damn fine work. I would have seen this piece in one of the games easy for like final boss or something.

[Orillion]

Indeed.
People should be subscribed to Blake anyway (he deserves it) and listen to his videos long before they see you liking/favoriting one of them.

[RBNinja]

No lie i was just listening to your Pitch Black Intrusion video and thinking about how i subscribed hoping you'd do more Castlevania songs. This is great!

[isfun]

I knew I would be seeing something off of this sound track on here, didn't think it would take this long.

[truinz]

I am happy to see this in an Ochestrated version compared to the tons of techno remixes I have heard recently. Fantastic Job, thank you for making it.

[PaladinNasicom]

I somehow never thought to request this, but I realize now it's what I've been waiting for to pop into my dash. I love you. No. Seriously. Please take my love.
