02 - Naoto Shibata Project - Bloody Tears [Castlevania II: Simon's Quest]

[@jorgetoragui9472]

FINALLY FOUND IT BY ITS TRULY NAME!! I'm so happy, I can die now and I won't regret nothing

[@Virka57]

I know your feel, I was looking for this version since years now! So happy I have finally found it, this rocks

[@davidwells9982]

Same. I found this song about ten years ago, I think. Always just called "Bloody Tears-Gothic Metal version." At long last, that which was lost has been found.

[@nashmishah6064]

somehow it's commonly known as cradle of filth - symphony of the night. don't know why tho.

[@tommyz1082]

Well put. I felt the same way when I found this today!

[@ophidic]

RIGHT?! I've been hearing this shit since... I dunno must have been the 90s or early 00s. ALWAYS called "gothic metal version" but never with an artist name.

[@davidwells9982]

Finally, no more "Castlevania Bloody Tears Gothic Metal Version."

[@ThePotatoWaveOfficial]

What's wrong with that?

[@davidwells9982]

@@ThePotatoWaveOfficial It's because I could only find it by that old name, but now I know the real name.

[@raghsafi]

Or Cradle of Filth 😂😂

[@Niiloisnumber1]

Yes

[@trendmassacre8423]

NO DOUBT!

[@LucasReis-ov7iw]

Now I can see the similarity of Anthem arrengements and this version, *mind blow* I love Anthem music, but didn't know Shibata yet. That's why this is so good stuff!

[@Maru-zx6qi]

GO GO BELMONT RANGERS!

[@judu2b]

Limewire played us like a damn fiddle.

[@mjollnir85ts]

I actually downloaded this album back in the day using limewire lol

[@poisonrozzie]

It accidentally gave Cradle of Filth some extra reach, for free 😆

[@dressburning8825]

I still remember nearly everyone on internet insisted this was covered by Cradle of Filth in the past

[@kinnikuboneman]

Sounds nothing like them tho

[@NaOBuG]

Hahaha yeah, when i was downloading music on "Ares"

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

I've loved the 80's metal band Sniper for most of my youth and now adult life, and this was always my favorite version of Bloody Tears, and I'm just finding out Masanori "Burny" Kusakabe from Sniper was guitarist on this. He's phenomenal. No wonder I was so attracted to this song! Check out the songs "Burny Project - Time Was" or "Sniper - Never Change" for more of his guitar genius.

[@RAGEPAMMA]

thanks very much for the information !

[@groovysnake138]

Never heard of Sniper, thanks!

[@ClaudioRowe]

thanks for the infooo

[@chetati_00]

Thank you so much

[@dockjordan]

Hey thanks never heard of them

[@TheSchoolyD]

Ofc it's great, Shibata is a guitarist of one of the best japanese - if not in the whole world - heavy metal bands around. Anthem rules.

[@sexypadri]

THIS AWESOME SONG HAS VANQUISHED THE HORRIBLE NIGHT

[@fromtxtopa]

its been over 15 years listening to this song, i still get goose bumps

[@joels5150]

I pulled my two Dracula Battle Perfect Selection CD’s out of a box a couple months ago. Purchases I shall never regret. Metal Belmont Forever!!!

[@MaskedRiderChris]

I need to add this CD to my collection, because this whole album is just brilliant. Shibata-san knows his stuff!

[@MrFenrir1000]

Been looking for this song forever. Used to have it saved in iTunes long long ago. Easily the best version of Bloody Tears. This shit needs to be in smash ultimate

[@AdenGaminz]

After 30 years searching this song finally found it. What a song man.

[@pascalcorazza9972]

One of the best songs ever made. It is so awesome and kick ass! Respect to naoto shibata project for coming up with this

[@arfo2003]

Oh yeah… this song’s *THE BEST ONE I’VE EVER HEARD!*

[@torrent9666]

If only motorcycles were around in 1691...then Simon Belmont could whip undead creatures while riding a bike really fast while this theme played.

i mean... the castle can time travel, so its not impossible...

[@Multienderguy37]

Motorbikes have appeared in Castlevania in the 1850s and machine guns and baseball bats in the 1470s so it’s possible.

>implying Finntroll is strong and do not suck

[@8-BitHero]

Fun fact, this exact track was labeled as a Crafle of Filth song on most peer to peer "sharing" services.

[@XularusXIII]

I remember hearing this years ago, but that was before pretty much every music upload on YT had someone giving the title in the comments, or when uploaders were kind enough to tell you themselves. Now, I've refound it! And I still love it.

[@MrSlipfilth666]

[@Elénajade01]

I remember this song from when I downloaded the Iron Maiden Discography from Napster or some shit. I've spent over a decade tracing the band names of who was involved in the creation of this song and here it is today in all it's original glory. So glad to finally have found the original artist Naoto Shibata

[@atrocity6768]

It was also labeled as Cradle of Filth lol. That's where I got it originally.

I've heard this credited to both Cradle of Filth and Iron Maiden. Cradle of Filth is an insult to Naoto Shibata, but Iron Maiden is a forgivable mistake. I'd personally love to hear some of the amazing shit Shibata and Harris/Smith/Murray could create together.

[@linkxsc]

I am Karmoon Blame Limewire years ago. There as people who still try and tell me that tribal ink songs are linkin park songs and such (because of this whole fake minutes to midnight release on there) among various others.
