- Here's my Halloween 2018 VGM remix/cover finale!
I've kept with tradition and made another CastleVania track. Like I said in the teaser, this track featured the Harmonium that I got from my grandmother, RIP Nora. I hope you enjoy that I put in a flavour of Magneto's theme from "X-men First Class" here too ^^
Special thanks to my Brother in law Caspar for helping me filming the background plates. Big thanks to my colleague Magnus for letting me lend the black robe.
Huge thanks to all of you who keep watching, sharing and commenting on my tracks ^^
Happy halloween!
Hyde, I sincerely want to thank you for this! I have been waiting for this for years. Most covers of this song are below average, and I always waited for a perfect cover like yours! This is as close to the perfect cover I always imagined. And the video itself and the editing is great as well. It is difficult to keep such a short and simple tune interesting for more than five minutes but you have managed it! I also really liked the subtle things you added, such as the church bells and the chants near the end. My waiting has finally paid off. Again, thank you.
Man I'm glad you requested this back when you did. I've always wanted to remix/cover this one, but I wasn't too sure about it since many gamers aren't all that fond of this game 🤔 In that regard I wanna thank you 😊
This is great stuff! Nice work!
Thanks =D
As a kid I was always sensitive to the vibe carried in song. This sensitivity diminished as I aged. But this was always my favorite song on the Castlevania 2 soundtrack because it was legit eerie, wandering through Dracula’s empty castle with tension rising, knowing the final fight was near.
As an adult of 39 years old, and hearing this rendition of the song, it brings me back to that childhood feeling of angst. Great job.
Oh wow thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 Mood is something I enjoy working on in my music. I know the feeling you describe. Glad you like it 👍
Great cover, the background and costume adds to the atmosphere and experience.
Thank you. It was a fun video to shoot record and put together 👍
My Halloween is complete! Thanks my man I love it!!
Haha I'm glad Dave 😃 This tune is my favourite track in this game even though it's quite short. Happy halloween buddy 😊
Haha nice work again Hyde! I felt the film clip matched the music perfectly btw. and very fitting for Halloween lol :D
Glad you enjoy it mate 😃 I'm very fortunate to live in a region that has many old castles, churches and ruins 😅
@@Hyde209 lol you must be, we dont have castles in Australia. Where I live theres plenty of churches but they are kept in good condition, except one which is sposed to be haunted lol
@@lukejansen3540 Oh the church in the clips is kept in good condition too. It's just really old 😅 It was buildt in the 12th century I belive.
I upvoted the video before it even started, because I knew it would be amazing. I wasn't wrong! Great remix, great video, great costume!
Thank you for that vote of confidence 😃 Glad you enjoy it. I had so much fun making it.
I definitely heard the First Class influence, and it was awesome :D
This was great! You found a place that looks just like one of the Castlevania II mansions, secondly... you wore Carmilla's Crying Mask. Great job setting the mood and delivering the tunes! I subscribed!
Thanks man. Yeah this was a lot of fun to make. I love the old church and monastery where I shot the footage. It's just outside the city where I live. Really glad you liked it buddy. Thanks for subscribing. Hope you will find more of my content to enjoy 😃
Great arrangement, and really atmospheric production. Well done on putting this together!
Awesome stuff man
Thank you 😃 I had so much fun making both this track and the video for it.
Nice work man! I’ve always loved this track. Sounds great and I like the arrangement👍🏻
Thank you 😃 Yeah me too bro. I'm glad this is well recived. At first I was hesitant to make it. Simon's Quest has a bit of an unruly following so to speak 😅
Beautiful!
Thank you 😊
This is THE definite cover of this theme. No other had done it justice in sound eerie, yet menacing and powerful. I remember waiting a bit in this stage to listen to this theme for a few more minutes before facing Dracula. So much good music in this game!
Thank you 😊 Yeah I love this track too. It sounds a bit like Bach to me which is just awesome. Really glad you enjoyed my take on it.
4:36 he looks straight into the soul о_О
Yes the sprit of Camilla sealed in the mask will possess whom ever puts it on. Very creepy stuff 😨
Well done!
Thank you kindly 🙏
I hate hearing shitty overplayed metal covers of video game music. It's so hard to not find one that isn't just a guitar playing melody over an annoying palm-muted riff with digital midi drums playing 240bpm. This was great. It had atmosphere and serviced the song instead of overwhelming it. Awesome work.
Wow, thanks man 😃 Yeah I get your point. YT is pretty saturated with shredd type VGM covers. I'm not much of a guitar player though so I tend to see how the guitar can assist rather than take the front seat 😅
Nice job!
Hyde, this turned out so good! I was never huge on this track, but you really brought out the beauty in it!
The production value in the video is fantastic as well!
Maybe I somehow overlooked it, but do you have any mixes from the first Castlevania? I know the songs in that game are played out, but still...
Dude thanks 🤗 You're too kind buddy. No I have no CastleVania I tracks as of now. Don't really know why though 😅
Bravo, sir.
Thank you sir 😃
Ah Nice!
Great cover ! Love the visual aspect (between some Phantom of the Opera, Symphony X or Ghost kind of imagery).
The sound is loud and hypnotic, religious and castlevanious !
Where is the place you've been filming ?
Wow thanks man 😃 Yeah Ghost is a source of inspiration for sure. Belive it or not, but Ghost is actually a local band here in Linköping where I live. The backgrund plates where shot at Vreta monastary ruins just outside our city. It has that old and spooky vibe perfect for a CastleVania type setting 😊
Hello Hyde. October is finally here, Is there plan's to be any VGM horror theme remixe's this year? Anyway, I'm currently re-doing the Super CastleVania IV OST in Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio with reverb & eq to make the track's sound 200% better. So i'm asking you, Please do send me a link of the remade Super CastleVania IV logo for my SCVIV: Age of Darkness album cover. Along with a few other CastleVania logo's for my CastleVania remix OST project's with the album retitle's the Augusta font:
CastleVania: Legacy's Beginning
CastleVania II: Incarnation of Evil
CastleVania III: Sonata of the Curse
CastleVania: The Arduous Adventure
You can get the the CVIV logo online many places.
