This is a Requiem and a Memorial for all of the Nameless (playable) heroes and heroines in Castlevania whom we will never see again on console. Lords of Shadow 2 was the epic conclusion of the series and probably the end of the Castlevania Franchise and this song foreshadows the end of it. Here are the names of the fallen heroes... Gabriel Belmont (Lords of Shadow) Leon Belmont (Lament of Innocence) Joachim Armster (Lament of Innocence) Pumpkin (Lament of Innocence) Sonia Belmont (Legends) Trevor Belmont (Dracula's Curse, Curse of Darkness) Sypha Belnades (Dracula's Curse) Grant DaNasty (Dracula's Curse) Adrian "Alucard" Fahrenheit Tepes (Dracula's Curse, Symphony of the Night) Hector (Curse of Darkness) Christopher Belmont (The Adventure, Belmont's Revenge) Desmond Belmont (Order of Shadows) Simon Belmont (Castlevania, Vampire Killer, Chronicles, Simon's Quest) Juste Belmont (Harmony of Dissonance) Maxim Kichine (Harmony of Dissonance) Richter Belmont (Rondo of Blood, Dracula X, Symphony of the Night) Maria Renard (Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night) Shanoa (Order of Ecclesia) Albus (Order of Ecclesia) Nathan Graves (Circle of the Moon) Cornell (Blue Crescent Moon) (Legacy of Darkness) Reinhardt Schneider (Legacy of Darkness) Carrie Fernandez (Legacy of Darkness) Henry Oldrey (Legacy of Darkness) John Morris (Bloodlines) Eric Lecarde (Bloodlines, Portrait of Ruin) Jonathan Morris (Portrait of Ruin) Charlotte Aulin (Portrait of Ruin) Stella Lecarde (Portrait of Ruin) Loretta Lecarde (Portrait of Ruin) Soma Cruz (Aria of Sorrow, Dawn of Sorrow) Yoko Belnades (Dawn of Sorrow) And... Julius Belmont (Aria of Sorrow, Dawn of Sorrow) Names we won't see, hear, or play on console of this generation ever again... but never forget the four words... Blood, Lust, Family, and Valour...
I can't help but feel actual nostalgia as I listen to this song and swipe my phone to read this comment as a staff roll. Then out of nowhere Simon and Richter are playable on Smash! And there's Requiem co.ing out this month as well as a second season to a Netflix Castlevania cartoon. We can at least hope now, 3 years ago this post wild have me in years, note, I'm actually hopeful. Have at you, fellow hunters! Tis is a terrific night to have a curse.
Just came here after watching the episode 7 from the netflix series, and find this.... I barely got over it, but hell no, Internet still meaning to make me cry like a baby
Yeah, Castlevania is still relevant, if anything I think more people are going to discover the franchise and this music. I don't know if I have faith in Konami to make another good castlevania game
@@cgyh68748 John's life force was taken away from him by vampire killer which led to him dying from his wounds just like his father, Eric died while watching his daughters being turned into vampires by his murderer and his ghost was trapped inside the castle walls. Truly some of the saddest deaths in the entire franchise...
John perished and taught his son to treat the whip with care, and to trust in his own strength, making Johnathon a stronger more confident fighter. Eric further trained the boy and Charlotte, and under his guidance a cure for Vampirism was found, curing his daughters and fully awakening the Vampire Killer to a Warrior who treated the holy weapon with respect. Yes the men perished, but the lessons they tought lived on till the day Dracula was defeated for good
For those who have not been informed yet it is confirmed the Video Game Designer for Castlevania/Akumajou Dracula Koji Igarashi has stepped down from Konami a year ago and which hints no more Castlevania from this day forward from Konami...
***** Well if Koji Igarashi remakes Castlevania with the former Konami Influence and continues with the Symphony of the Night concept, I hope he does it the game has real I mean REAL effects. For Example the Weakness/Tolerance feature FIRE the enemy catches on fire, ICE the enemy Freezes one hit, they shatter, THUNDER the enemy gets electrocuted and turns into something that would look like an OSHA recordable, WIND/SLASH the enemy bleeds to death, EARTH/STRIKE the enemy gets crushed or shattered to pieces, LIGHT/HOLY the enemy glows white and disappears, and DARKNESS/SHADOW the enemy gets consumed by the darkness and swallowed into the void. Oh and one other feature if it involves Dracula since he's a vampire... HAVE FUCKING ENEMIES THAT WOULD BE SOME OF DRACULA'S VICTIMS WHO HAVE TURNED INTO VAMPIRES WHERE THEY WILL ATTEMPT TO BITE AND TURN YOU INTO A VAMPIRE, NOT JUST A BATTLE AT THE END OF THE GAME, I MEAN A WHOLE SWARM AND HORDE OF VAMPIRES THE KIND YOU WOULD SEE IN Quintin Tarantino's/Robert Rodriguez' "FROM DUSK TILL DAWN" John Carpenter's "VAMPIRES" "QUEEN OF THE DAMNED" "UNDERWORLD," DON'T JUST FOLLOW THE "BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA" CONCEPT! MAKE IT LOOK LIKE WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN FILMS AND ADD A LITTLE "MORTAL KOMBAT (1995)" AND "MORTAL KOMBAT ANNIHILATION (1997)." THAT'S ALL!
Thanks to Iga, the shadow of the castle looms over the world once again. Just like always in a different time, place, and in a different shape, but this time in a different universe and with a new name and origins. None the less the great evil castle will always draw in new adventures and hero to conquer it and it's master.
I want WAV, or FLAC rip of this album man. Lossy for the fucking win. There is a site that hosts these tracks, but I forget the name, and probably shouldn't link to if I do find it.

To the friends and loved ones we've lost. May their memories and legacies live on, and may they rest in peace.
Until we meet again. Til all are one.
2:31 SOUNDS SO GOOD ❤
This is specially sadder when you realize the grim fates of both John Morris and Eric LeCarde.
Fought to till the day they couldn’t
did they become twitch streamers?

@@belmontzar Dracula wasn't really defeated for good until 1999, but even then it wasn't for good...
this is the best metal instrumental ballad I heard in my life!!!
Yes. It rivals the top gun anthem
This song is so touchy...
The build up and then the finale... doesn't get much more epic than that.
Sad that it fades away at the end. Wish it went on and on for hours
Sounds like the ending crawl for a fictional 90's Castlevania anime
Great song
To me this is very Queen
0:00 HHHHHHHHHHEEEEL YHEEEEEAAAA the hype is big for this one..
A nice good bye song..... More than a requiem.....

I really want to learn it :'D
*The 1960s is proud*
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mystery skulls sent me here.
How so, if you don't mind divulging this information?
How can i get this track?
I want WAV, or FLAC rip of this album man. Lossy for the fucking win. There is a site that hosts these tracks, but I forget the name, and probably shouldn't link to if I do find it.
Search for Dracula Battle albums. Dracula Battle I & II Perfec Selection. You can find them even on CD, but they´re pretty hard to find and expensive.
sob metal.
Darth Revan actually,when I listened this,I imagine Simon Belmont and Shanoa as a couple.yes,it's weird,I know...
Well Not all Castlevania games had happy endings. Look at Lament of Innocence and look how that turned out.
