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.

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.

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!

@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!

I'm doing a with Lyrics version of this song. ^_^ Thumbs up if you want me to post here when its done.

@PipoSaga out of time is a really good one too.

[Espatha]

Maybe Yamane and Yamashita should work together.

I was actually able to beat this game not too long ago. :D

@SupraDarky

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!

The Adventures of Conan the Barbarian Vs. The Joker.
