Block 8: Akumajou Densetsu (Castlevania 3) Music

[songsterNJC]

Hearing this makes me want to get a famicom.

[Scoutinabox]

Lol, when you have a jap and US NES and game of this, you'll realize a big difrence in epicness.

[yanava]

This sounds like somehitng that would work on Revenge of Shinobi. Not Castlevania.

[molonlave2010]

US version is better sorry guys

[Cesh]

@molonlave2010 Sorry dude, this jap. version is far away superior thant the US version. Just compare both versions, and u´ll notice that jap its better than US

[MetalSmasherGaming]

Nothing like reliving the classics.

[OgnarPliskin]

I will show you the might of House Belmont!

[nintendude8VG]

vrc6

[DiabloJas]

i love the Japanese version its more serious than the US!! XD

[ruesius]

dude..this is the NES version xD, but they´re are not the same game this is the 3th and the other 1 is the 1st xD!

[jdonvance]

Just as I suspected.

It would seem that the North American version of CV3 is the only one that has "Vampire Killer" with that hesitation that I like so much near the end of the refrain.

I played CV3 before any of the others and haven't heard that delightful musical hop since.

CLASSIC

[OgnarPliskin]

I feel like entering a demon castle and rescuing maidens!

[TrevorCBelmont]

leave that long haired burly men with whips (that apparently dont wear pants...<.< lmao I kid)

[MasterBORRACHO]

Ya can't go wrong with this classic

[DesertPunked]

i have a remix of this on my Ipod

[MasterBORRACHO]

Ya it is hella cool.

[crazyiproshow]

isnt this track called "Deja Vu"..but they renamed it "Vampire Killer"?

[shalpp]

Yeah

[Castortroyy]

Exactly, This is the first remix of vampire killer in the story.

[AndrewC437]

This version would have sounded good on Simon's Quest...

I Think i get why Konami made Castlevania 3 on the Famicom much better than the US version... have a listen at the Castlevania 2 sound track on the Famicom... it's HORRIBLE compared to the US version.. at least in my opinion..

[engelspiel]

The best CastleVania theme ever

[Zolpidex]

From hearing this tune, I imagine Trevor barely making his way into the castle doors and every creature is flying straight into him at the same time. Truly a masterpiece of situation.

[sdcazares1980]

It does sound better but it also sounds a bit raspy.

[atreyu179]

I think a lot of the raspiness of these songs comes from the youtube conversion of these songs. I have this playing on my winamp right now through a NES music emulator and the bass-y, raspy parts aren't nearly as accentuated or loud. The bass-y parts of this song definitely drown out the rest of the instruments more than they should.

[atreyu179]

Or, maybe it isn't the bass that's too loud, but maybe the mids or treble levels are just more muted than they should be in this video.

[dauntlessmath]

Nah, this is the japanese version. It had a different sound chip.

[unkochan21]

fukkin love it! been looking for this version of vampire killer for ages! this song just makes me remember why i love castlevania so much! thx for the upload!

[kraeckelium]

I am going to cry! This japanese soundchip version is soooooo much better!!!

[OgnarPliskin]

Even considering the improved arrangement in CV3 from the old version of CV1, this is really good.

[Soundwav1337]

VAMPIRE KILLER!!!
