My Top 75 Castlevania Songs (#25-#1)

[@NicoPlaysIndies]

Great list, the Castlevania franchise has such incredible music that you could literally make a top 100 list and not a single track in the bunch will be a stinker.

[@mikepellegrino133]

This is so true. I didn't agree with the order of this list but there isn't a single bad song on it.

[@anhgez]

Blue serenade :)

[@jinratgeist]

An Empty Tome is such an awesome track from an awesome Castlevania game.

[@AkibaMCRGrenias]

Battle of the Holy is SUCH a masterpiece that pretty much nobody's ever heard of. I am SO SO glad that it made it up to Top 3. Also, not surprised that this video is filled with SotN pieces! That game and its OST is one the best ever made!! Amazing top 100, bro!

[@lucasfreire1090]

the tragic prince is a fucking masterpiece, respect

[@MrGleenCross]

4:52 That solo... Man, Alucard deserve a theme song like this.

[@puffinman1138]

Truly underrated video. Thanks for putting all 100 of these together with titles and images!

[@KratosAurionPlays]

What an awesome list. Castlevania just has so many awesome tracks that I just had to listen to all 100 of these in a row.

[@Toopelius]

Thanks buddy, I'm happy to hear that!

[@AlfonsoSRT]

***** But they're 75....

[@KratosAurionPlays]

Alfonso ST There are 100. There was a 100-76 added on later.

[@AlfonsoSRT]

Oh, thanks for letting me know.

[@stephenwood-vorndam585]

If you hadn't picked Tragic Prince I would have been SO pissed off at you for not putting Bloody Tears first. Excellent Compillation!

[@Toopelius]

@Lpoeser I actually knew immediately when I started making this list which song would be #1. While I already would change some picks, that one is quite easily my favorite. About DoS, I think I wouldn't change the number of music from the game but instead I'd substitute Scarlet... for Into the Dark Night and drop two highest picks a little and raise Pinnacle some positions... Oh well, what's done is done. I could've picked 10+ songs from both SotN and CoD but wanted some variety.

[@stephenwood-vorndam585]

This, from start to finish is THE List! I have listened through the entirety (75) several times, and I am sure to listen several more. I have told every Castlevania junkie I know about this. :)

[@bitercgm8639]

MICHIRU YAMANE!!!!! LOVE HER.

[@annoball]

MILF

[@homerheavy3128]

god bless

[@JediMindG]

#5 is such a banging song. I play that game on public transport so people can hear the music

[@spiderdude2099]

In a really weird "strange but true" coincidence, I first heard "abandoned castle" in a video about the different oxidation states of the element Vanadium, lol.

[@ragnarok3666]

tragic prince is the number 1, well done my friend

[@shenloken2]

Yeah: not everyone's fave can make it. Still, you did an excellent job and many MANY of my faves made it here. And #1 I could NEVER argue with. so in the end: good work. A+!

[@wassup9378]

Hell yeah! now this is a list. I was afraid of not seeing The Tragic Prince (my favorite theme of the whole franchise) but what happened?turned out to be number one. Great work

[@lillyhoward44]

Your #1 favorite Castlevania song is The Tragic Prince.... Hell Yeah!

[@dx845]

Invitation of a crazed moon 💘

[@toxicelec5960]

Tragic Prince at the top, good choice. My favorite is probably either Heart of Fire from Aria of Sorrow or Jaws of a Scorched Earth from Order of Ecclessia

[@sedalf]

I miss the old Gameboy Style... Loved Aria of Sorrow, Down of Sorrow, Order of Ecclesia, Symphony of the night etc.... Wunderfull games... love it

[@aabattery4092]

gotta love the peaceful theme of lost painting

[@DareZero]

Awesome list man ! :) My personal #1 (or atleast one of them x) is prooobably "Awake" from COTM

[@shenloken2]

#1 - Undisputed best piece from the series. It;s the sole representation of what every Castlevania game has or needs: an absolutely awesome soundtrack!

[@blastedpotato]

number 4 was the first song in castlevania i ever heard. after i finished the game it led me to all the other games.

[@Toopelius]

Wow, glad to hear that you enjoyed this that much! Thank you!

[@Haymdahl]

Jail of Jewel, Condemned Tower, Pitch Black Intrusion... Most of greatest soundtrack of Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin not being in Dead Cells Castlevania DLC is such a loss 😭

[@bw98265]

Great job on these video. Thanks!

[@malsibad]

Thumbs up on including Abandoned Castle. That track is awesome!!!!

[@isaakiloureiro]

I was expecting to be disappointed, but #1 is also my favorite! :)

[@dionisiolanda1060]

Dude your list rocks!! and the number one...GOD awesome nice!!! The f@#!ing tragic prince wow it make every second count ^^

[@braydenfath]

No matter how bad Simon's quest was, Bloody Tears was amazing.

[@SmamelK]

@Time Attack Bad and really cryptic

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

I thought Bloody Tears and The town music was awesome. I think Simon's Quest had potential to be great. It had the right idea, just executed incorrectly. But maybe that is due to the time frame and technological limitations during that time. It was the first MetroidVania game, but it was running on the NES still. Maybe if they remake the game for PS4 with better graphics and detailed storyline and better bosses and all that, that would be awesome. But it is also the first Castlevania where you actually get to travel all around the place and not just Wallachia i think. You go to other towns and all that.

[@พัฒนพงษ์ชยากร]

Castlevania II is shit. But bloody tears will be rembered in history!

[@AndDeathForAll82]

I love Simon’s Quest. In my headcanon, the villagers give cryptic hints on purpose because they’re traumatized and afraid.

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

Castlevania Bloodlines - Reincarnated Soul had an awesome theme.

[@tuerceviolines]

Great selection!!!

[@Jossuedex]

Castlevania Simphony of the night Rules XD

[@randomnumbers84269]

Pretty cool list. Of course mine would have been different but I appreciate your taste in music. Some of my personal favourites were missing though, like "The Arena" from Aria Of Sorrow :( My personal #1 is perhaps your 23: "Clock Tower"... Close enough :)

[@Goblin_Hands]

I also really liked Top Floor and even Chaotic Realm. Unpopular opinion I know. Dawn had a good soundtrack, but I thought Aria's was superior, mostly. Scarlet Battle Soul is still dope though. Also enjoyed many of the remixes from Circle of the Moon. Best Vampire Killer/Observation Tower, and Rotating Room/Underground Warehouse + Aquarius/Underground Gallery.

[@iwao72]

nice selection!

[@tyrgannusgaming6657]

So many of these are getting remixed for Vampire Survivors. It's going to be really fun

[@Keilbasa35]

The fact that you put New Messiah in the Top 5 immediately makes this a valid list. It's probably my personal #1 but all the music in Belmont's Revenge is outrageously underrated for being from the game boy circa 1991.

[@salozmen29]

Love the Destiny of an Emperor sprite! Very cool!

[@Toopelius]

In OoE soundtrack there is a version with different instruments and also the intro version of the song. In this list we have the "normal" version. But 3 versions of the same song in the soundtrack, yeah.

[@KLGChaos]

Great series. My personal favorite is Bloody Tears, so nice to see it so far up the list.

[@SamXala]

I didn't like the number one, but... Number 15: Leon's theme Number 7: An Empty Tome Number 4: Abandoned Castle!! Number 2: Bloody Tears!!! Simon's Quest version!! You are Awesome, Great Video!!

[@SagaAsellus]

What I like about Castlevania is that you could pick any songs of any Castlevania in your Top 10 and you'd be right :D

[@АнгелПасков]

Maddie agreed every track is classy

[@SunlethSky]

Tragic Prince is definitely my #1, though Trezire de Spirit and Piercing Silence would HAVE to be my second and third.

[@alexcarrion1967]

Hey, i'm very agree with all this list. It's hard to say which is the best track of whole Castlevania series, but Tragic Prince is not a bad option. Some tracks that i would have add to this list (i know is impossible to have every one of them lol) are Unholy Vespers form Order of Ecclessia, the final fight theme of Castlevania III an Clockwork mansion (the rotating room) form Super Castlevania IV. Great job in this list, amazing, congratulations.

[@Toopelius]

There were couple of reasons at the time but now afterwards I've been thinking of doing honorable mentions list aka positions #76-#100. Maybe I should do it after all when I have enough time.

[@nekokna]

Awesome job on the selection!.Truly a pleasure to hear your compilation,Thanks!

[@Ieatpaste23]

Horrible night? I'm watching this in the middle of the day. :P

[@muhammadrafly3848]

damn !! I Really really love MICHIRU YAMANE (Composser of Castlevania series) !!! :D

[@Toopelius]

Thank you very much, sir! I'm glad you like it.

[@Toopelius]

Thanks. Abyss Stairway is actually arrangement of "Sinking Old Sanctuary" first heard in Castlevania Bloodlines so it couldn't be here. Sinking Old Sanctuary was of course one of the songs that were really difficult to be left out of this list but there are too many good songs, sacrifices had to be done.

[@Dangnilo]

Could you make a full video with all songs on your countdown? That would rock big time.

[@Toopelius]

If I still have the original files somewhere then sure. That's a good idea. But I don't have high hopes, I'll have to check my old laptop for that.

[@Toopelius]

Ok, I checked my old computer and some usb-sticks but I don't seem to have the files anymore anywhere. I guess it would be possible to convert these videos from youtube and then merge them, but that would most likely result in awful quality.

[@BSLnew]

Congratulations! I now only the tracksound for NES and SNES, now i become more interest in play the others one!!! thank you

[@evendrag6302]

Dayum, i was waiting for tragic prince the whole time. I actually have that song as my ringtone :D

[@amirprog]

"Reincarnated soul" (12 on this list) is BY FAR the best castlevania track afaic.

[@devilanc7674]

My favorite was bloody tears ( the dawn of sorrow version thought) but Tragic prince is great too (just never heard about it before now XD)

[@YaleScores]

you put a lot of work into these videos and you did a great job

[@malsibad]

Really cool list. I´m glad that Bloody Tears didnt earn your first spot. Nice surprise.

[@Myrmigaki]

Great work.

[@JohnnyJohn116]

Much love for Belmont's Revenge and SOTN - both had fantasic music throughout!

[@RocketoPunchee]

why not top 100?? makes more sense to me :P, awesome list though, i keep coming here and let the video going on background, such soothing music :3

[@АнгелПасков]

man,you are crazy....i love the series mostly for the music,lol i would struggle hard to pick my fav 75 and you make a list ......will just listen with joy

[@MrJejayologue]

I've never EEEEEVER imagined a top 25 of the Castlevania's musics without some thmes of Rondo of Blood !

[@Okamii007]

castlevania for the most part has some of the best art i've ever seen in a game, just look at Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow! i really hope they go back to that for future games

[@Toopelius]

I agree, the soundtrack is super impressive for a game boy game.

[@brokengladiator382]

oh man i love Tragic Prince! thank you

[@elutinghol]

i think sinking old sanctuary(bloodlines), inner quarters(aria of sorrow) and within these Castle walls(castlevania ii) should be in this list, also believe that mortvia aqueduct and wood carving should be in top 25 under, for the rest is a very good list, but my number one is between iron blue intention and wicked child

[@Piercingthesky1]

u nailed it. Best ones were from GBA and DS

[@YaleScores]

SIKED to hear abandoned castle from curse of darkness!!! Easy top 5

[@PsyQoSomas]

My favourite one is Sorrow's distortion (Order of Ecclesia - Albus Boss)

[@waynetastic1746]

*YES, I HAVE FOUND LOST PAINTING!* ignore the irony with that sentence...

[@user-dw4rj2ml3o.]

Lovely, Who are these lovely these lovely lovely messages from.

[@peerenboom77]

I love The SIlence of Daylight.

[@StrayzDream1]

Symphony of the night; Best OST ever!

[@DCLT05]

Great list, although the hidden track on Symphony of the Night should be in the top 10.

[@Toopelius]

It was just left out. It's a great song for sure and I enjoy it a lot. I guess it suffered some positions because I had many songs from CoD in the list... Anyway, thanks for watching and thanks for all your comments too.

[@denlikes2watch]

oh and i love festival of servants :D

[@spiderdude2099]

kudos for abandoned castle, i love that one and i never see anyone else who likes it.

[@dx845]

Dracula's Castle, my favourite 💀

[@Toopelius]

Thank you! Catacombs=Awake, right? It's in the list (#26).

[@RDRFoto]

Only speak in spanish sorry: Para mi gusto las mejores composiciones son las mas antiguas, pero entiendo que quedan un poco eclipsadas por los pocos medios de la época en comparación con las versiones mas actuales, Castlevania para PSX tiene una de las mejores bandas sonoras, a si mismo la considero la versión que toca techo dentro de los castelvanias en 2D.

[@stephenwood-vorndam585]

@Dreamer I agree with you that Symphony of the Night is one of the greatest Castlevania titles be it 2 OR 3D, But you cannot forget Rondo of Blood and Dracula's Curse. Without those two titles SotN I fear wouldn't exist. Estoy de acuerdo con usted en que Symphony of the Night es uno de los grandes títulos de Castlevania ya sea 2 o 3D, Pero no se puede olvidar Rondo of Blood Curse y Drácula. Sin esos dos títulos SOTN me temo no existiría.

[@YaleScores]

I'm intrigued by your loyalty to the gameboy games. power to you

[@andreb5660]

Dawn of Sorrow is the best soundtrack overall !! Really love the game as well.

[@senorsnipey1595]

André B Dawn of Sorrow was amazing but have you ever heard the ost for bloodlines?!

[@untested3344]

Señor Snipey cant stand the way the genesis music sounds like.

[@joselsepulveda89]

Sorry, but aria of sorrow's ost is better

[@yourbodyis75waterandimthir44]

True but Bloodlines has the best ost IMO. Too bad it has very few songs compared to other castlevania games

[@Toopelius]

Maybe. Sorrow's Distortion really grew into me just after this list was made so I'd probably put it in top 25 now.

[@RDRFoto]

Thanks for translation!! Gracias por la traduccion! :)

[@ooberdeath]

Rainbow Cemetery or Tragic Prince for me.

[@JHONXDT]

Tragic Prince

[@Toopelius]

Thank you very much.

[@TrueJamito]

32:48 Best track ever!!!

[@AntiNubDevice]

100% 10/10 agree with #1 and #2.

[@blankstride7634]

Personally, I’d put Lament of Innocence as my #1

[@robvanhalen2]

Curse of Darkness does have great tunes... Such an underrated game

[@SlavenMansGym]

@1:11 I heard MJ's "Thriller"

[@inglam244]

レオンのテーマはまじ最高。

[@Data4664]

WOW!

[@danysan7058]

Theme #21 is the music from unreleased Castlevania for sega 32X :)

[@ethanf3095]

SIMON AND RICHTER ARE IN SMASH, SAKURAI HAS ANSWERED OUR PRAYERS

[@dx845]

Ethan F And new version to this melodies... 34 its so good.

[@SantiRecon308]

Would’ve preferred Alucard as a character instead.

[@Toopelius]

I decided to use only original versions of the songs so The Beginning is only taken from CV3.

[@matheusvasiliauskassoares4361]

Symphony of the Night Nº1 Alucard Nº 1 The Tragic Prince Nº1
