Bloody Tears

An attempt at getting Bloody Tears from the Netflix anime adaptation in decent quality. Other versions I've heard either have the voices and sound effects or the audio has been butchered beyond recognition. This version still has some decently noticeable SFX but not as bad, and may be as good as it gets until the ost releases... if it does. Anyway, enjoy ^^.
Composed by: Kenichi Matsubara
Arranged by: Trevor Morris

Honestly I think the scene would've been way better without the play by play from Trevor. The silence would amplify the fear the vampires felt. And would just make the scene feel way more badass. Still a hype ass fight tho

Yea, that's sadly the most noticeable SFX in the middle of the track and not something I was able to remove. If someday I get some more experience with audio editing, I'll try to remove or at least make it less noticeable. ^^

@@Ben0_o Well I've been collecting game and anime osts for a while, have around 2TBs of it now after about 3 years. So seeing as some songs never get released (cough, nintendo, cough) or even worse, have SFX embeded into them (game cutscenes and almost any anime without and official soundtrack release, like this one), I figured I may try my hand at it, tho, this is still my first attempt and was mostly playing around with the bluray multi-channel audio in Adobe Audition ^^'
