Almost 7 years later, Bloody Tears is back by popular demand! This was the #2 most requested May Madness remake from you all from the public 2020 May Madness Remake Request Form, only a few votes behind the #1 song.
Bloody Tears was up for consideration last year, but since I had just done Wicked Child, I figured it could wait a little bit. I had also considered doing it later in 2019, but I never really got the free time to do it.
But you all made this an easy shoe-in for May Madness 2020, so let's get to it!

Suggestion: Other games reviewed by the Angry Video Game Nerd. You did Castlevania 2, Action 52, and Silver Surfer. The Nerd has more games that you could use for potential, like LJN-published games, Super Pitfall, Top Gun, Chex Quest, Pepsiman, Crazybus, Superman 64, ET Atari, Battletoads, AVGN Adventures and Assimilation, and even the dreaded Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

[@ezrawyvern6795]

Wicked opening using the additional part that Rondo of Blood used in it's rendition. Then again you're always excellent at melding together various renditions of songs into one kickass track.

[@wisdomscores4014]

Killed it harder than a stake and... well, you know! How many times have we all heard this one and yet it never gets old! Awesome work man! :)

[@KenshinHimura10]

Growing up with these games on NES and SNES gives me a great sense of nostalgia every time I hear a track from the series. For me Bloody Tears and Vampire Killer are the two most memorable BGM in the Castlevania series, despite pretty much all of the BGM for Castlevania being amazing. Your covers/remixes of these and others have been a treat to listen to. Keep rockin'.

[@philmason9653]

Great job, you killed that. This song has been done so many times in so many ways, it's tough to stand out.

[@MasterSquirrel993]

Holy shit, loved that organ intro! The proper track hit so much harder when it kicked in, goddamn that was good :D Always love when you change things up, and I noticed that doesn’t just apply to the intro either; I heard quite a few additional tracks mixed in here this time around! The keyboard part was also super great, as always; to be able to jump between instruments and still keep the exact same level of hype going is something I’ve always loved about your music :) Or, tl;dr: Yet another fantastic revision of an already incredible cover ^_^

[@Flegan777]

I recently started getting more into Castlevania, so this is a perfectly timed (and awesome) remix. Take all my Kudos bars!

[@XionTheSylveon]

Your Bloody Tears cover is what got me introduced to your channel like...4+ years ago. And hearing you finally re-vise it after so long fills me with so much joy! I can hear the differences and while I actually prefer the older one more to the revision, the revision itself is by no means bad. It just has a different kind of sound to it thanks to the riffs sticking closer to the original and some of the other sounds giving it this almost...ethereal feeling in the case of the original one from 2013. For others, the revision would sound better given how it does its own thing and the riffs become more creative as a result. Regardless, it's wonderful all the same and it made my evening to hear your work remixing what is likely my favorite VG track of all-time again!

[@kajiilitz]

[@condeaarondarkusexcubitor3155]

Simon: *What a horrible night to have a curse* But as he said in Judgment: Simon: (For dialogue purposes, for himself) *"If you are going to fight, then stand resolute!"* Nice revision of Bloody Tears, my favorite theme in general of Castlevania. Is not only a catchy theme, but also a versatile one. It can be used in slow tempo for sad or calm moments, and also fast tempo for battle. Is a theme that makes the demons feel stronger, but encourage you to, as Simon said, to stand resolute against the challenge, in a epic way.

[@aidanshim7606]

I think this song is more iconic than vampire killer

[@ChrisBelmont]

Bloody Tears shits on Vampire Killer without a doubt. Bloody Tears is just a pure work of God in itself, very fitting for the series as a whole. To this very day I will always think that Simon’s Quest Simon is my favorite version/design of Simon even though Barbarian Simon is the most iconic (Even though Simon’s Quest isn’t perfect by no means). I mean, the dude is wearing armor due to Dracula’s curse on him being an unnatural form of leprosy, and he still trekked through the country side willing to put his ass down, which is just a straight badass thing in itself despite everyone hating him/demonizing him.
