Finished a "WITH LYRICS" version of this song. Should be a video response to this one, or if it's not there just click my profile. Come back and thumbs up this comment if you enjoy it, please. :3
Excellent song that I'd not heard in years until you posted it, Supra. It inspired me to write lyrics for it! ^^ Keep up the work on this fantastic list of music!
Finally! This is my favourite song from the original Castlevania. I am very grateful they played this during the hardest part of the game. "You died, but you get to listen and get more comfortable with this music."
I remember sitting down and playing this game a long time ago on a rainy day, and finally reaching this stage for the first. Spending hours trying to beat the Grim Reaper to this song. So epic.
Stats Update: Castlevania, now at 3 tracks, is tied with fellow Castlevania game Symphony of the Night. It still ranks behind Curse of Darkness, Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin and Super Castlevania IV.
A classic, just like most of the tracks Yamashita composed for this game. I also love Yamane's work, but I wish we could get a new 2D Castlevania with music made by Yamashita instead, just for a change. But at this point I wish we'd just get a new 2D Castlevania in the first place.
@SupraDarky where's my 1999 Demon Castle War with Julius and Alucard? :(
also a bit of interesting stuff: Heart of Fire was built in to Can't Wait Till Night on Aria of Sorrow, making it Julius Belmont's Theme, and it showed up in Harmony of Despair too (remixed)
There is Castlevania: Hamony of Despair on 360 and PS3 (released 1 year and 1 month ago, respectively), which is a great mashup of all Metroidvania, and is multiplayer. You gotta check it out! Soundtrack is amazing too!
And don't forget going through a CV3-styled stage with Alucard dual-wielding Crissaegrims --> Pure Fun!
@SupraDarky look how weird, last night my brother and i were talking about that exact same thing, how we really like a truly from scratch HD Castlevania in 2D with those tracks just a bit arranged or as good as arranged as they are in Harmony of Despair. it would be nice, but i agree of what you say, a totally new 2D Castlevania not portable would be just great!

This track had the biggest impact on me playing CV1 as a kid. The level was perfect in difficulty, scenary, and music of course :)
0:33 - 0:57 = godlike epicness

@scarletspeed7 Symphony of the Night only has three tracks?!? That seems... odd. I see SotN as one of the best soundtracks ever.
