Imagine hearing this song play and a fog rolls in the room and in a flash you see a long chain lash out at your face. When you finally have enough might to get up you see a bold figure standing above you. It's Simon Belmont. I'd shit my pants lol.

I just got bloody tears from this. Thank you!

[@jasongarrett768]

VERY happy to see the live broadcast pop up. Simon’s Theme is one of the best, and the entire soundtrack for IV is underrated for how different it is from the rest of the series's soundtracks. The personal flourishes both make it your own and still have that classy Castlevania feel.

[@LaurenceManningPianiste]

Thank you so much

[@alexperaza9475]

Every time I hear tunes from this game, it takes me back to when I was a kid. Truly one of the best video game soundtracks of all time, eerie but beautiful. I read somewhere that they wanted the instrumentation to sound as if monsters had performed the music on creepy monster instruments they had built themselves. That does somehow come across. It sound otherworldly.

[@DOOMRAINS]

OMG ....the goosebumps

[@yandman26]

I wish I could like this 100 times. There is nothing more special than hearing music from games I played as a kid now covered in such a beautiful manner such as this. Back then people just never imagined that video game music was real credible music. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

My first Castlevania was the original on NES. That one, Dracula's Curse and Super Castlevania IV I played through and managed to beat in my youth.
