What better way to start off the New Year that should be filled with Hump Day Musics than with a classic tune from a classic franchise. Castlevania is a franchise that has lived in the hearts of many gamers for years now for its great side-scrolling gameplay, simplistic yet fun story (kill Dracula) and its phenomenal music. Castlevania has produced many iconic tunes over the years including The Beginning, Vampire Killer and Iron Blue Intention, which will hopefully all be highlighted in future editions of Hump Day Music. One track stands as the most iconic out of all the great music from the Castlevania series and that one track is Bloody Tears.
First composed for Castlevania II: Simon's Quest for the NES, Bloody Tears has been remixed a hundred times over by Konami composers for later installments in the Castlevania franchise or by fans for their own amusement. Today, I would like to share my favourite remix of this classic piece of music, Bloody Tears 2008 by Mr. Bloody Tears. The iconic melody from the original Bloody Tears remains intact as Mr. Bloody Tears completely modernizes the track to sound like it was composed in this day and age. Mr. Bloody Tears makes great use of the electric guitar and the drums to create a track that is very smooth to listen to. If you want to get the most out of this remix, plug in a set of headphones and listen. They really amplify this amazing song.
