Sorrow's Distortion (Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia) - GaMetal Remix

We're back in the world of Castlevania for a remake of the highly requested song Sorrow's Distortion from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia!

You could throw every Castlevania song into a hat and choose one at random, and it'd most likely be a banger.
Today's song comes from the Order of Ecclesia game, Sorrow's Distortion, which plays when you fight Albus.
We had a Castlevania-themed GaMetal Discord Request Battle a few months back in October, where I took requests specifically for songs from the Castlevania series. Heart of Fire ended up winning there, but there were a few other songs that stuck out among the rest. Sorrow's Distortion was one of them (placing #6 overall).
Who says we always have to save Castlevania songs for October?
Enjoy! :)

[@matthewbankey5547]

Excellent song, you don’t see many covers for this… probably because Castlevania is so saturated with great songs, a lot of them get lost in the mix.

[@metalmonster9536]

Plus the fact that many songs like VK and BT were reused frequently every time a new game comes out. The remixes were all great but it kinda pushed fresh new songs out of people's interest I guess

[@gabrielchee8470]

Agreed, becuz of smash my favs are vampire killer, divine bloodlines, Dracula's castle, stalker/wicked child, out of time

[@GeeseJoestar]

Thats because Castlevania songs don't even need covers, all of them are good enough already. not to mention they only pay attention to symphony of the night songs or some other generic castlevania songs, like bloody tears... no covers of lament of innocence, bloodlines, portrait of ruin etc.

[@EddieMaverickHunter]

@@GeeseJoestar man, it's really sad no one aside Nintendo covered Lament of Innocence/Leon's Theme for Smash Bros. Ultimate. I really love that song, but I'm afraid we'll might never see anyone covering it.

[@GeeseJoestar]

@@EddieMaverickHunter that's right, there are incredibly good songs, followers of darkness, anti souls mysteries lab, gaze up at the darkness, and one of my favorites, eneomaos machine tower... those songs are as forgotten as their games.

ORder of Ecclesia is probably the most underrated OST in the series. It's so damn good!

[@gloving4hire]

Most underrated game in the series period-it's so good, just needed more varied levels and enviorments

[@vinheim]

@@gloving4hire I agree. Some of the levels do feel rather meh, especially if you compare them to the other DS games, but still the story is wild, and the use of symbols (don't remember the exact term) is nutty

[@gloving4hire]

@@vinheim yeah glyphs make up for the amount of levels that are just rocky passes recolored

[@GeeseJoestar]

I don't know, the curse of darkness and lament of innocence soundtrack is also too underrated. or maybe any soundtrack other than symphony of the night will always be underrated.

[@unknownuser494]

Yeah many cv fans always forget about ooe and por.

[@Rubberman202]

Ah yes, Order of Ecclesia, the last installment in the original Castlevania timeline, before devolving into remakes, spin-offs, the "Lords of Shadow" reboot series, and then just being plastered on gambling machines and NFTs because Konami is just incapable of making any actual good games anymore... ...I just made myself sad. :(

[@syrelian]

Lord of Shadows is actually pretty good, once you take it for what it is and let the expectations of the past give way The Pachislot and NFTs is Really Bad tho, even if there is a stupid sexy Alucard on one of the pachislots

[@OoTapionoO]

I actually second this. I had a friend who was trying to sell me on the lord of shadow series and after you take it for what it is as mentioned…. It’s fairly solid

[@Simpleton_Of_The_Night]

Hands down one of the best pieces of Castlevania's vast soundtrack. Sure, Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears will always be a classic but this song just hits different. Its a perfect instrumental representation of the setting here, a man struggling to regain control of himself, begging for the bitter-sweet release of death. I also feel as if Albus is one of if not Castlevania's most underrated protagonists. Sure, Alucard is as tragic as it gets but this man sacrificed everything to protect whom he held dear. His body, his mind and the very essence of his own soul, just so Shanoa could live on. Truly one of Castlevania's most noble heroes

Johnny, what about other themes from the game like An Empty Tome / Twilight Stigmata, Rhapsody Of The Forsaken or Lament To The Master?.

[@Ankarua]

Almost every time someone other than a Belmont has to have dealt with Dracula, it has been a tragedy. it just goes to show how strong Dracula is and how badass the Belmont clan is. Shanoa Is my favorite Castlevania protagonist, same with Order of Ecclesia as a game. Game wouldn't be as good without kickass tracks like this one. Definitely hope to hear more of them from GaMetal.

The chills from the organ intro, the sense of maddened desperation, the feeling of the need to fight on even against your brother. You managed to capture it all. also dog reveal

I remember ordering this, Dawn of Sorrow, and Portrait of Ruin off Amazon a few years ago. I got the other two games, but Order of Ecclesia had the plastic torn half off the box and placed back over it like a sleeve. Someone, somewhere along the line stole the game out of the box! It was empty! Amazon was great about the whole thing, and now I have the game on my shelf. But of the 3 games, I still haven't played Ecclesia! I need to get on that. Thanks for the great remake Jonny! I really love the new look too, with the backgrounds that match the game.
