Castlevania II Music (NES) - Dwelling of Doom (Mansion Theme)

[BrutalMind]

THIS is my favourite sound from the NES

[881sc]

@BrutalMind cool I thought I was the only one

[ChathamFr0]

This god damn song only added to the frustration of those mansions. :x I loved playing this game, but mostly because of its amazing soundtrack.

[Apemopo]

what the heck is a dwelling?

[Guibauski]

@Apemopo habitation, house, home...

[Apemopo]

@Guibauski i know what a dwelling is, i was just referencing the simpsons :P

[Guibauski]

@Apemopo lol sry then :S

[Chaoteee]

@Apemopo america is doomed

[Apemopo]

@Chaoteee what the hell does that have to do with my comment? you just like to go around yelling that cause it makes you sound like a rebel or something? i don't get your comment.

[KirbyY15]

"you rememer how hard the grim reaper was in castlevania 1?"

"if you do, wait till you see how hard he is here"

*gets barely past grim reaper*

"DAMN... i am lucky i got past that grim reaper"

[ChathamFr0]

Konami, Capcom.. so good. Crushing, relentless music.

This damn song seemed to add to the frustrations of the dungeons though!

[DrHax1015]

Gee I'm sure glad I got past that Grim Reaper.

[Chortstuf]

INVEST IN AN OAK STAKE?

[DrCannibus]

@Chortstuf Hell yeah I'll invest in an oak stake

[gonzmanX9]

@Chortstuf I only have 17 hearts :[

[SmellyWeenis]

sounds like Far Beyond the sun by Malmsteen

[JamBass6]

cool!

[sephiroth7655]

@BushidoMH Well he is wearing a suit of armor so...I guess thats a reason why he drowns.

[RobbieBobbieBoy]

First game soundtrack I was haunted by in a mounth

[meep140]

Sounds like Contra for some reason.

[Metallosaurus]

I hate this game.

I love this song.

[beanthegod]

LAURELS IN YOUR SOUP ENHANCES ITS AROMA!  Write it down motherfucker. They are good.

[elshiksa]

Invest in an oak stake?

[Melink03]

"Jump and run and hit your fucking head a little bit

While you stand there, immobile, like a punk ass bitch!"

"This isn't fair, Simon,

Let me move or some shit!"

[Melink03]

@Melink03 "Fuck you, motherfucker, taste the sting of my whip!

Last time we had a battle, I looked away and you bit!

Shit, the time of your demise is bringing tears to my eyes!

I beat the fucking game but it wasn't in time!"

"Your soul is coming with me, Simon! Time to die!"

"I'll be back in Super Castlevania, bitch, don't lie!

DEAD!"

...

...

"Frickin' blah blah blah light or something..."

[mrlemmon]

@BushidoMH I never got it about the swiming thing either.Falling in three ft of water really kills you.

[projectmasta]

thumbs up if you think this sounds like yngwie malmsteen's far beyond the sun

[Nattlefrosten]

@projectmasta The one part does, but that's all.

[couchtr26]

@Nattlefrosten and @projectmasta I admit there is that slight similarity but I think that both may have been influenced by something more classical. The set up in the music seems timeless in a way certain classical music is put together. Both are well done but I think both have a similar influence. Can't place it though.

[MotherPunker970]

hey,it might be imperior to its predecessors and continuations,but castlevania 2 has bloody fucking tears!and it has the most awesome music in a video game,srsly,castlevania 2 is the ONLY game ever in which i like EVERY SINGLE TRACK!!!

[MajorasPianos]

Shitty game, great music. 

[m0thie]

This tune makes me want to grab a tankard and dance atop a tavern table, kicking the air and brandishing a sword high!

[EricOh]

THE MORNING SUN HAS VANQUISHED THIS HORRIBLE CURSE THAT IS THE GAMEPLAY OF COURSE...... what a amazing night to have NES soundtracks :3

[SpotxSpot]

Why is it EVERY time I hear this I imagine a demon dancing in tune to it while throwing axes at me?

[0PyramidHead]

Why hasn't this been reused yet...

[Buzda]

@0PyramidHead I can't believe they haven't re-used it either!

[0PyramidHead]

@Buzda Yeah I like the songs they use often (Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears, Beginning, Bloodlines.) but I also wish they reused some of the less used one's like this or pretty much anything from most the classic Castlevania's.

[kirk10p99]

Classic stuff.

[cycopl]

Konami really knew how to push the NES sound chip to its limits, even in the earlier NES games like this one. It's crazy how much better the NES version sounds over the FDS despite the FDS having more channels available.

[luciano9009]

@cycopl Indeed it does, this version is much better.

[grimreaperhenrik]

God, the base at 0:09 is fantastic.

I used to play this on keyboard while back.

It's quite tricky actually.. but damn good!

[Luigi84289]

@grimreaperhenrik I love Konami.

[explod2A03]

@Luigi84289

Amen!

[hayabusakratos]

@Luigi84289 masterpiece
