Castlevania: Lament of Innocence / Leon's Theme

[evilmonkeykillbot]

Thumbs up if castlevania has the best fucking music ever!!

[pippiculo]

Lament of Innocence. Awesome game AND awesome piece. And Leon is cool.

[Iwarii]

This is one of my favorite Castlevania pieces in general :)

[Daveydude117]

For me, Castlevania's music is one of the best music out there~ :3 The feel of the music when you enter the castle, the battle music~! Everything gives you a feeling of the game~ Its awesome~!

[wtfnoobtube1]

@Daveydude117 Music is the only thing castlevania has going for it now.

Before LoS this was the only castlevania game that felt like castlevania. none of those alucard clones and bullshit gaytard rpg stuf just the main character and his whip.

[Kaelar32]

@wtfnoobtube1 2d Castlevanias > 3d Castlevanias. Although I enjoy them all.

[ifulikeboobssubscrib]

i beg to differ all the castle vania games r good except for lord of shadows it sucks ass. but all of them r good

[alexgodzillafan3328]

@4zho I heard that song in the game Catherine and I was like "Hey, this sounds like Leon's theme".

[4zho]

This reminds me of Chopin's "Revolutionary" Etude.

[Athavania]

OMG IT'S SO GOOD I'M PISSIN* HOLY WATER!

[mario6515]

@Athavania HYDRO URINE!

[nationalistefr2]

Beautiful song

[Arrowdance]

"I'LL KILL YOU AND THE NIGHT!"

[LASERMAX73]

@Arrowdance mejor ven a matarme la reata a besos Psicotic.

[camposjl17]

When you first play this game, after watching the death of Sarah, you're thrown in the castle with this melody, you just tear apart whatever gets on your way, you feel a great sorrow, and an incredible urge to reach Walter and kick his immortal ass!!! It is such a beautiful and sad melody...

[Draugen19]

damn i miss this game

[Mikael8335]

I've been listening to this masterpiece since 2003(the games release) and I will continue doing so..such a shame that the composer has retired..

[AllisonSantosAS11]

UM DOS 5 MELHORES JOGOS QUE JA SALVEI . TRADICIONAL SINFONIA INSTRUMENTAL NORDICA E UMA OTIMA HISTORIA SOBRE TRADIÇOES NORDICAS , COMBINAÇAO PERFEITA .

[CaraDoSobretudo]

Ah good and old Castlevania. before they turned it into generic anime on the DS and God of Colossus on the consoles.

Seriously what were they thinking? "Hey, Castlevania is not mediocre enough, lets suck out all of its personality and replace it with generic fantasy shit!"

[halostudioz]

this was one of my favorite games of all time. it actually tops halo or COD. only thing that surpasses this game was jak 2

[charlos13ful]

now you turned into cursed creature

the Belmonts will hunt down Mathias and destroy him one day...!!!

[Damauveropolis]

I hear bits of Bloodlines (stage 6) and Super Castlevania 4 (Dracula) in it... Probably because they were compose by the same guy.

[rmwua]

an innocent knight whose wife has been taken and bitten by a vampire (Leon Belmont)

an innocent man whose daughters and wife were taken away by a vampire (Rinaldo)

a vampire who destroyed lifes, yet it could be destiny....

Leon , the 1th of the Belmont Clan, a family with a tragic history who never asked for it.....

~Lament of Innocence ~

[abcabc495]

This song reminds me of Calling from Heaven (Bloodlines), Eneomaos Machine Tower (Curse of Darkness) and Dracula's Theme (Super Castlevania IV). And this great mix makes this song even more epic!

[abcabc495]

Oh, one more to the mix: Cursed Clock Tower (Dawn of Sorrow)

[sreynolds1488]

Great music. Great game. Best series out there

[SeasonsOracle]

@goldtaills now there are six o.O How about taking a whip?

[Mandesita]

I love Leon Belmont!

[Oldbahaark]

a 6 personas les metieron el latigo en el culo.-

[Mikael8335]

6 retards prefer twilight-bellas lullaby instead..

[boibugoy]

Don't forget Leon Belmont,he is ordinary guy in castlevania,so who is the weakest Belmont?

[MastaGambit]

@boibugoy I'd say Trevor would be the weakest of all the current 7. No special powers about him, needed the help of Sypha, Grant and Alucard in order to beat Dracula. Second-weakest probably Christopher, seeing as how all he has is the flame whip. Next would be our pal Leon, seeing as how he just has the Magic Gauntlet. Then comes Simon, who whilst little magical powers, can whip in any direction ("master of the whip" imo), then Juste cuz of his magic then Richter (item crash) then Julius.

[RayoDesertico]

@MastaGambit Agreed, but you must consider as well, Every Belmont was trained to kill vampires by his predecessor. Leon had no predecessor, no training whatsoever in killing creatures of the night except for his training as a knight, he had to learn the hard way as he went along through trial and error. So in my book, without any special powers except for a gauntlet and an incomplete whip, that makes him the best Belmont of all times.

[boibugoy]

What a nice music,well remember that character is he in the lament of innocent.

[6sodom6boy6]

at 2:23 - 2:44 pure SeX

[1RadicalDreamer]

Lords of Shadow is a much better game but Lament has a MUCH better soundtrack.

[BlackFrictionxD]

@1RadicalDreamer begone with your nonesense! nah jk haha

[camaxtle]

6 ppl are creatures of the night ;)

[robotype]

lovely track, sounds like crucified by Army Of Lovers

[OMGEpyonistaken]

I have nothing againts Lords of Shadow but I want more of IGA's Castlevania. I want to see the Demon Castle War or a remake o Castlevania III.

[orinanime]

@OMGEpyonistaken

im so sick of IGA. If I ever meet him, I'd punch him in the face.

[deathdog211]

This is one of the best looking suits ever! I own a PS2 and this game but Shockingly I lost it. I just bought Lords of Shadow and that is one ugly ass guy! I think Leon Belmont is the best character to play as. He is awesome!

[nexusg5]

Am I alone here in thinking this song bears a few similarities to Countess Bartley's castle in "Bloodlines"? Not that that's a bad thing...

[nexusg5]

The first few piano bars, that is...

[abcabc495]

@nexusg5 You're not alone! And that isn't a bad thing at all!

[BlacK40k]

FUCK YOU... AND THE NIGHT!

[noestoyfacil]

@BlacK40k XD

[ryanster246]

is it me or does this sound abit like wild west piece

[FireX1991]

the few things i hate about the game is it's too easy once u located all of the whips and relics and it was too short to be a platformer. It took me 2 to 3 days to beat it.

[kkdecara]

I love the feeling some songs have, i just love that most of videogame's music has the feeling of the history itself, or the protagonist's feelings, this song is just like

the start of the quest, having reached the point of no return, going on to fulfill it's destiny, with a touch of sorrow for having lost what gave life all of it's meaning. To the final battle, to face fate.

[fabiocarl740]

@kkdecara wow, what an awesome description of the song, i agree with you, it is just like that

[kkdecara]

@fabiocarl740 :O thank you, btw i just finished the game, and in the music box , there's a comment of kinuyo yamashita about this song, it says almost exactly what i said, "a piece that shows leon's grief and anger"

[BlacK40k]

@kkdecara

Epic

[ringthatkill]

@kkdecara This is probably the most beautiful comment on youtube.

[kkdecara]

@ringthatkill And to think i wrote this before finishing the game...once i unlocked the soundrack mode, i just realized that Michiru Yamane herself said what i said.. :O

[ringthatkill]

@kkdecara seems like yo uwere in a poetic mood though lol

[kkdecara]

@ringthatkill hahahahaha yeah xD

[supermalikXL]

@kkdecara that is a very powerful line

[Atma01]

SOoooooOOo Good. I love this song and the variations of it. Perfection.

[Illuminatiownsus]

This theme sucks though, sounds too korny and a bit clownish

[PumpkinpoopsX]

@Illuminatiownsus what are u talking about? its pretty ^_^ <3

[twomuchfury]

yeah, Leon may have been the first Belmont, story-wise, but it he only prevented Dracula from being summoned. Sonia was the first Blemont to kick Dracula's ass.....and possibly elope with Alucard...giving birth to Trevor.

[Zondekel]

@twomuchfury That's assuming that Castlevania Legends is in fact canon... which apparently it was taken out of the timeline.

But imagine if it were true- every Belmont from Trevor onward had a family tie back to Dracula himself..!

[twomuchfury]

@Zondekel Very much true, it would also explain the Belmont clan's extraordinary powers against the undead, demons, monsters and vampires alike. My personal favorite of the clan would have to be Richter.

[MrZangetsu468]

this sounds alot like Eneomaos Machine Tower from Castlevania COD

[BringMeFrost]

I must agree with Walter... a "delightful little game" indeed.

[demonkai76]

man i kinda wish Lords of shadow had this kinda music...hella cool game but i think that was only castlevania game i played where as i really didnt like the music like that. and i REALLY tried to make myself like it...

but yeh this game i still have and the soundtrack was bad ass...

but listen good at 1:34 haha doesnt it sound a little like a score from Castlevania IV on snes? ^_^ lol

[k1n3v]

Lament of Innocence (Leon's Theme)

One of IGA's favorite tunes. A piece thet shows Leon's grief and anger.

[Cat11111111nnN]

@k1n3v You got that game too :D

[rmwua]

Leon's hot :)

[Rhethion]

@rmwua Gee, thanks! (My name is Leon)

[rmwua]

@Rhethion

hehe xD



[katsukiakira]

I really like this part in the game...and this bgm that is very classic... (I like it...) :)

PS. Thank for sharing. I'm finished them for this part on PS2. Thanks! ;)

[anti666oo]

Wow.. you can really feel the angel and the sadness in this song...

[LinaSparda]

i love it!!!! and leon too >w<

[nippadesu]

The new castlevania is shit compared to this one

[AngelBeeps]

@nippadesu That's because when Iga is behind the wheel, win is always imminent.

[Nintendo122333]

I've already fallen in love with this song after only playing it once... I must learn to play this on piano!

...Once I actually learn how to play piano. xD

[BlacK40k]

Leon was my first Belmont.. I m now 20 years old and I always wanted to play Castlevania but I was too young, I thought it would be to scary for me, but then I bought Castlevania for the PS2 and since then I love the Series... "The Beginning of a Legend" I didnt understand at first, but then with the last Words of Leon "From this day on, the Belmont Clan, will hunt the Night!" I understood in the end, he is my first and my favourite Belmont

[surororo]

Leon Belmont.....Imo the character with the most tragic story of the Belmont clan..............I mean it must be pretty painful to end the life of a beloved one......

[ultmgammer]

lol i think leon and trevor 's rain of supreme belmont is over lol GABRIEL BELMONT PWNS aka (DRACULA) "You.......shall not stand in my way"-Gabriel Belmont

[NebulizedSk8er15]

@ultmgammer It's a shame Gabriel doesn't actually exist in the official timeline

[ultmgammer]

@NebulizedSk8er15 it is but still he holds the title belmont

[NebulizedSk8er15]

@ultmgammer no

Gabriel's story is non-canon and if he was Dracula that just means he's the weakest Belmont of them all even with having all of his relics

Light Crystal

Shadow Crystal

Gauntlets

Leg Gauntlets

so if he had those and he still couldn't beat the Holy Belmonts then he just sucks ass am I right?

Sure his story was sad but he doesn't exist in the canon

[ultmgammer]

@NebulizedSk8er15 lol your stupid seems to me you havent playd this game yet and whose getting technical i know the history of castlevania like the back of my hand what your saying is nothink new to me gosh lol a simple comment and then you guys start to show up.......dam just drop it trolls

[NebulizedSk8er15]

@ultmgammer sorry if I sound like an ass but

Yes I've already beaten Lords of Shadow on Paladin

The game was great, ending sucked and I misinterpreted your'e last comment

"It is but still he holds the title belmont"

I thought you were saying that Gabriel was the actual Dracula that the descendents of Leon fought

So again sorry

[BlacK40k]

@NebulizedSk8er15

Canon means that [...] fits in the actual Story, and Non-Canon means that [...] its just "fantasy" dont fit in the real Story, right? Sorry for the question, I just dont know what that word mean

[NebulizedSk8er15]

@BlacK40k Yea So Canon would be Leon Belmont Trevor Belmont Christopher Belmont Simon Belmont Juste Belmont Richter Belmont Julius Belmont Canon Dracula is Mathias Cronqvist Non Canon is Gabriel Belmont Sonia Belmont Spoilers: Non Canon Dracula is Gabriel Belmont

[BlacK40k]

@NebulizedSk8er15

Who knows, maybe igarashi wants to make a seperate timeline with Gabriel Belmont as the real Dracula (okay, the spoiler really fucked me up because I wanted to play Lords of Shadow, its not your fault, I read it already in other Commentarys.

[AngelBeeps]

@BlacK40k Igarashi sadly has nothing to do with this new timeline, hopefully he'll make some more games in the series continuing from his own timeline, we've still yet to see Julius in his own game, a game we've been waiting for since Aria of Sorrow came out.

[BlacK40k]

@AngelBeeps

Yes I know, I can imagine that Castlevania: Demon Castle Wars will be on a level like God of War in style of Action, because Julius is so damn strong, remembering the fight in Aria of Sorrow were parts of the Castle were ripped away from his Holycross and also Dracula will be 100% revived and get his full power back.

[AngelBeeps]

@BlacK40k Well his moves were very similar to Richter's little flippy tricks you could pull of in SOTN to be honest. That said, remember this is set about 40 years before the events of Aria and Dawn of Sorrow, so he may not have been quite as bad ass back then.

[BlacK40k]

@AngelBeeps

To be honest, that comparable from me was stupid, who knows how strong they will julius make in demon castle wars, also dont forget, he was just 19 or 20 years old back then, in aria of sorrow he is an old man

[EXHellfire]

@AngelBeeps Yeah but only if it was based on his 1999 adventure as a young Belmont

[GarlandFraser]

@NebulizedSk8er15 from what I've played of it, Gabriel seems so powerfully badass, that such a thought would be impossible. He's beaten the shit out of Gods!

[AbbiXIII]

BEST.CHARACTER THEME. EVUR! (okay i think One winged angel still beats this)

I love leon... hes the only BLONDE Belmont...and he has a badass coat.

I have to say: voice acting = epic, but it didn't fit the lack of facial espressions of the characters...they should have worked harder on the face animations...

[Shadow60f]

Intense theme got me pumped for the last boss especially after the scene where he killed his wife for the power to vanquish him, dood epic scene for an epic game (and I really hate the word epic lolage) best castlevania game I've ever played and I've played a lot too and on a side note is it me or is the voice actor for Leon, Kakashi hatake's off of Naruto (dont know his actual name lolage x 2)

[CorneliusOkamiZion]

Damn I don't think walter could see how bad he screwed when he bit leons girl. Leon and his entire fam bam continued to whoop ass centuries after he was gone lol now THATS payback.

[goldtaills]

4 people are vampires

[joeygx3]

@goldtaills Looks like 2 more have been bitten.

[LordofDragns]

@goldtaills *Hiss* Whats THAT supposed to mean?

[goldtaills]

@LordofDragns whatever you think lad, I just lurk here. :)

[DoraCatBuu]

Leon has the best theme ever. Fitting, since he started the Belmont clan.

[shoooshify]

1:34 super castlevania 4 music

[landfighter777]

Awsome music, dose anyone know where I can download this music?

[BadBlueBoy213]

by the way, this is some great piece of music, although i don't think this theme really suits him... it's kind of too refined for the medieval age, also, pianos didn't even exist back then. This sounds more like music from the late 18th century.

[Schemilix]

@BadBlueBoy213 Nor did techno music.

[BadBlueBoy213]

by the way, this is some great piece of music, although i don't think this theme really suits him... it's kind of too refined for the medieval age, also, pianos didn't even exist back then. This sounds more like music from the late 18th century.

[DrunkenPiano]

GREAT GAME along with Curse of Darkness.

[JiuClaw22]

I actually liked this game alot.

[pusmana]

man, i wish this was downloadable :D

[PiercingTruth]

@pusmana it is:

just go on google and write " youtube to mp3" and youll find a list of free programs....and they work. the sound is the same as in youtube

[LoonyLoveYou]

très beau ! =)

[prier]

Leon owned the the NIGHT! XD

[Jennaboo02ify]

I love this game! Beautiful Music

[mulhim4ksa]

i really love Castlevania musics it is really great

[AssilalOmega]

i love a lot of the castlevania sounds they are realy cool i like them^^

[nefarious520]

to freakin bad that you can't download these on mp3

[NeverKnowsBests]

Bluelaguna(.)net i think or try khinsider(.)com

[Skyhope157]

epic and melancholic good song

[truesonicshadow]

THE BELMOTHS SHALL HUNT THE NIGTH!!!

[JOSH3183]

I FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR MOTHER!!!!

[ac120479]

It makes me chuckle a little bit sinc this tune reminds me of those hilarious Korean drama soaps.

[relmneiko]

Say what you want about the 3D Castlevanias, this game had an awesome score. This has got to be one of my favourite Castlevania pieces.

[valcrist666]

ill curse god forever more

[chanmenh]

Leon said "FUCK YOU AND THE NIGHT"

[ThaneCranefist]

LOL that just made my day.

[LeonBelmontCVLOI]

@chanmenh that is totally right dude XDDDD

[RAHSAANBABI]

@chanmenh he did or not

[Jennaboo02ify]

@chanmenh LOL that was pretty good XD

[mlaithy]

@chanmenh no he said "i will kill you and the night!!"

[Gamersupreme]

@chanmenh He said something like... that... but I like urs too lol

[Quinxcunz]

Only available in Castlevania

[taki255]

hey what about soma cruz he's cool to ryt?

[valcrist666]

oh yeah he is dracula man how cool is that

[n1cksg]

i love the piano from 2:25 to 2:43

[purpleblizzard]

I don't care which Belmont is cooler than any other, to me they're all awesome due to the fact that they're dedicated to slaying the lord of darkness each time he rises. Leon gains many coolness points not only because story-wise he was the very 1st Belmont, but also everything he went through to become the 1st Demon Slayer in the Belmont Family. To me, none are cooler than the other. In short, the entire Belmont Family are awesome, including their arch nemesis, Mathias Cronqvist, aka VTD.

[LookingForTheTop]

Gabriel Belmont says hi.

[purpleblizzard]

Everyone can make mistakes, even me..

[sabremasterzero]

Not going to sound cool coming from a huge Castlevania Fan, but what game is Gabriel Belmont in?

[LookingForTheTop]

@sabremasterzero CV Lords of shadows, the next CV game.

[sabremasterzero]

@Looking For the top

Ahhh thanks, I knew that sounded farmiliar.

[EXHellfire]

@purpleblizzard Yeah also they all have something that makes them unique, like Simon Belmont resurrecting Dracula just to kill him again or Julius who dared to oppose to Soma Cruz who was undoubtedly stronger than Dracula, or Richter who was PLAIN BADASS

[purpleblizzard]

@EXHellfire Indeed. Let's also not forget the lovely ladies who took part in combating the dark lord, such as Shanoa, Sonia Belmont, Charlotte and of course the legendary Maria. I dunno, just felt like mentioning them since they also did their parts. That reminds me, I need to play the 2 Sorrow games to check out Soma Cruz's story.

[EXHellfire]

@purpleblizzard Yeah the reason why you omitted Yoko Belnades must be that one too, she appears in Sorrow games, btw which CV heroine is your favourite? I can't choose between Shanoa and Charlotte Aulin D:

[purpleblizzard]

@EXHellfire Now that I know that Yoko is playable in Dawn of Sorrow, I'll be sure to give her a test run and see how she compares to the other 5 Castlevania ladies. I forgot to mention Carrie from Castlevania 64, but that game didn't do as well as the PS2 games. Anyway, to decide between the sexy and badass Shanoa and the adorable and badass Charlotte is also very difficult for me. They're both awesome and I enjoy playing as both. I'll have an opinion on Yoko soon enough.

[EXHellfire]

@purpleblizzard Don't bother in making a good idea before playing though, she is really incomplete, she only has 3 magic attacks and a normal weapon attack that heals as well but still, she actually sucked in that game, even though i never expected her to be as cool as charlotte or shanoa

[noxagol]

@purpleblizzard done forget sypha who helped trevor

[dracel10]

@purpleblizzard Sonia was the first belmont to kill Dracula

[Chernobog2]

@dracel10 not in the main timeline. he didn't say Leon was the first to kill Dracula anyway.

[Zaied12]

@Chernobog2 You're right. Canonically speaking, it's Trevor who was the first to kill dracula, and Julius who was the last to kill him.

[Wolfliberator13]

I love this song and I agree Leon is my favorite character in all the series OMG the voice acting was amazing and this song got me so pumped to kill Walter *Howls*

[n1cksg]

i never realized, that Leon was the FIRST belmont, and where the whole series started. THIS was the start, i never realized that till i played the game last week........ITS AMAZING though......

[ILoveiLsMaRiE]

I agree. Leon is the best *.*

[nintendude8]

trollolol

[LoneSageR]

i doubt leon could seal dracula in a MOTHERFUCKIN ECLIPSE

[Rocketlauncher00]

@LoneSageR naw, he'd probably just eat him for breakfast, that's how badass leon is ^^

[leonada101]

leon belmont is awesome

[lemagozc]

Exelente juego

[TheParnak]

A good song that fits well a befalling bitter victory

[Napalmxxx2]

one of the best right next to Alucard's theme.

[Kapochin1]

best song in that game!!!!!

[ninjasolidsnake]

um you do know that this game was made b4 re4 right?

[AlexSmashX2]

i don't think they do.

[VampireKiller999]

The best theme in all castlevania history !
