08 - Naoto Shibata Project - Calling from Heaven [Castlevania: Bloodlines]

[@marshascottbeck1145]

I love how this tragic and tormenting music seems to so beautifully embody the tragic life of John Morris. A man who as a child watched his father strike the killing blow to dracula only to be mortally wounded himself and to later as an adult find himself thrust into making the same decision to battle the same threat that claimed his father's life. A quest that being only distant relatives of the Belmonts they really have no business being involved in and having been bequeathed a weapon he can't fully use to it's greatest potential lest it too claim his life, it's a no win situation. Add the realization that whether he succeeds or fails, he WILL die and his own son will eventually have to experience the same pain and loss as a child that he did and perhaps one day have to fight the same evil that claimed the lives of both his father and grandfather is haunting indeed and this music seems to capture that essence beautifully.

I think this refers to Eric, he literally had his wife killed and vampired in the middle of the first world war by Elizabeth, and then had a tragic end after tyd, he had. His friend killed by the vampire killer, saw his two daughters being turned into vampires and then was killed turning into a wandering spirit

[@Jeanpapi]

Bro this sound like something ChatGPT would generate

[@LoneChild]

I love how Shibata took inspiration from some of the 70s - more or less obscure - bands for the Perfect Selection albums. This song and Requiem for the Nameless Victims almost feel like a tribute to Camel's 'Stationary Traveller' guitars and general structures. This is the kind of GREAT stuff Konami used to give us in the 90's

[@guitarscatsandmusic7733]

Thank you for the Camel comparison, i knew it wasn't just me Their song Echoes off Breathless is also somewhat similar to some of the faster songs :D

[@TheBizzareBirb]

This sounds more tragic and serious compared to the original. Damn I love it!

[@ntalam]

Playing this... alone... 1 guitar... it is even more dramatic. During the night, big ass headphones connected to the amp... cool memories

[@PlanetJohnny]

Anthem is a fuckin' incredible band. Shibata and Shimizu are titans. Shimizu in particular kills it on this track. My favorite part is at 1:43 to 2:25.

[@anterax4097]

I played this track in the background for the Lucifer final showdown in Castlevania Lords of Shadow. It went sublimely with that fight

[@OrbGoblin]

This album was so much better than it had a right to be. One of those curious little hidden gems.

[@ragnarokangaroo]

Nah, it has every right to be considering it's done by Anthem, a legend among classic Japanese metal bands.

[@dealholtom3469]

A miserable pile of secrets if you will.

[@ismaeljrgania]

From 3:18 till the end sounds gothicly brutally heavenly amazing

[@DanTheMan1985ful]

Nothing but glorious sorrow and torment

[@masterhellish3328]

this theme make me sad

[@despeinado340]

Why couldn't the Castlevania Netflix series have music like this? This is as Castlevania as a track can get while still having a recognizable feeling for a more mainstream audience

[@fallenknight3016]

because the series is crap

[@SomeDemoMain]

Because Netflix sucks. Netflixvania is carried by the main cast's voice actors, and Nocturne is _ass._ They did Richter and Juste terribly; Nocturne's only saving grace is Olrox.

[@whiteraven1992]

This sounds even more like a villain-confrontation theme than the stage theme this is arranged from. :D

[@darthrevan3342]

+White Raven Yep ! Except at the end.

[@computerman789]

White Raven Not really, unless it is about a tragic villain, as it keeps switching from a sad to a more maniacal tone. It is too torn between both.

[@Iceferno]

Love the little hints of Moonlight Sonata in this. A great arrangement, really expands on the original.

[@kevinleonardo5075]

The best representation of "Callin from heaven"

[@mmck1987]

best castlevania tune ever

[@CheeseTaterson]

A haunting melody, in all the right ways.

[@alexj0101]

Living up to its title, indeed. Perfect cover.

[@HellwingX1]

Holy shit this is awesome. How have I only just found this?!

[@adrianG.22]

[@baki666-e8c]

Homem de cultura

[@hussainyousef3449]

This is -actually- before Alucard! 😅

[@jadedj5385]

Take my heart. I don't need it!

[@RcNe-bk3vb]

This guitar performance, truly sound from heaven~~👍

[@adastra4741]

Absolute masterpiece

[@tresojos]

the glorious 16-bit devices calling from heaven

This is Beautiful

0:56 - 1:17 Wow

[@doctor_mayooo]

Fr my favorite part

[@RedSkyTeam]

A gothic couple slowly dances...this tune plays!!!

[@Somnio77]

Le quedo super chingona no jodas

[@yeril9]

Siempre jugue castelviania desde el nes hasta xbox pero en la actulidad desde ps3 en delante siento que perdio su magia devido a que el arreglista musical cambio. Gran parte de castelvania es devido a su riqueza musical. Quitarle eso es quitarle casi todo. Y hablando del cover es magistral. Dan escalofrios sublime guirrista muy subestimado. Pero de lo mas magistral!!!!

[@computerman789]

Reminds me of a Gary Moore track called 'The Loner'.

[@borispavlov841]

better than a tale that wasnt right

[@tresojos]

word!

[@DamascusTest]

Why do i hear some Pink Floyd vibe !!!

[@supermahmoud]

Malmsteen vibes

[@Thewickedjon]

[@justinjackson5656]
