The Megas - The Belmonts (Cassette EP) - 01 Bloody Tears

A mysterious demo tape recently arrived at Dr. Light Studios.
Wrapped in parchment and sealed with wax, the only correspondence included with the cassette was a note reading:
Release me.
-The Belmonts
Could it be, this fabled band is more than just a rumor? Tales of an obscure outfit hailing from Romania have followed us like a phantom - doppelgängers from another place and time whose sound and story are eerily similar to our own...
Who are we to reject their request? We digitized the tape, and here are the results.
The Megas present: The Belmonts.
Also available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Music and pretty much all those other streaming services. Enjoy!

Simon and Richter are in Smash! Listening to this again to celebrate

[@halfbreedindustries]

im not even a castlevanina fan and this is one of the of the best songs ive ever heard. that whole 10,000 years lead in line is so fucking good.

[@rachelwoods6760]

I terrify them. Sypha disorients them. Alucard goes over the top, and we support him. ...Yes. Begin.

A Belmont walks in Vampire civil war *STOPS* Bloody Tears starts playing Cue awesomeness

[@AverageJoeMama]

I could’ve sworn there was a lyrics comment here, but I can’t find it, so I’ll do it myself. The land is wrought with terror He roams the countryside They call him “Vampire Killer” He’ll wipe the blood from your eyes Seeking the ancient weapon A journey far from done Racing the setting Sun This battle must be won These bloody tears fall Blinded for ten thousand years This nightmare just keeps getting worse What a horrible night to have a curse This Belmont’s sole devotion Is ending evil’s reign Standing upon his shoulders Ancestors rise again He’s wrung another token To bring about the end The dark will rise again Given flesh by sin These bloody tears fall Blinded for ten thousand years This nightmare just keeps getting worse What a horrible night to have a curse And so, the shiver of the night arrives To right them, to save their lives This family damned to fight The demon’s gift of eternal night And now, the quest consumes his heart A marked man, slowly torn apart In these eight accursed years He’s been drowning in his tears Bloody tears These bloody tears fall Blinded for ten thousand years This nightmare just keeps getting worse What a horrible night to have a curse

[@zombiebatbunny]

Got a few lyrics messed up, but not much. :) This bloodline's sole devotion, not Belmont's soul devotion. And he's found another token, not wrung. Also the shiver of the night arrives the rite that saves their lives. I love this song... STILL. :D Bloody Tears and Wicked Child are my favorite Castlevania music pieces.

[@mafiousbj]

Thank yo for your service mister, wanted to find the lyrics!!

[@teewylerable]

this guy needs to change his username to AboveAverageJoe. Thanks for posting 'em, buddy ;)

[@OctoberRaven]

Though, when you think about it, are there any GOOD nights to have a curse?

[@justathelthesequel]

OctoberRaven Halloween, i guess??? Think about it - you fit in, and free candy!

[@iancomtois9832]

Depends on the curse. Some are purely beneficial.

[@ShinoSarna]

One of the better versions of Bloody Tears in existence. Gives me freaking chills.

[@rachelwoods6760]

And there is another version of the song, which is performed by SlyphStorm, and is called "Castle of Shadows".

[@Mattriix]

The Belmonts?....god I love The Megas for making this

[@manuelkfc7916]

I discovered this song upon a Synthwave mix video, and i was working while hearing it, so once the mix came to play this song, i got so thrown out by the sheer ear pleasure i just received and decided to look at the madlads who did this, and you guys, are a certified hood classic, godspeed.

[@joshuabrown6791]

Lol, I think I found the playlist you're talking about while I was at work too...

[@teewylerable]

dude, check out the Mega Man stuff. it's like a genre in and of itself. amazing, AMAZING stuff.

Muchas gracias amigo por la letra aqui en mexico tambien nos encantan Los Megas.

Music video idea: Trevor Belmont on vocals Sypha Belnades on backing vocals Maria Renard on keyboard Alucard on lead guitar Carmilla on bass guitar Aeon on rhythm guitar Eric Lecarde on drums

Why? This is a song about Simon's Curse why would Trevor be on Vocals when it is Simon's thing

[@PeterSolerom]

@@Geostelar4920 I think Simon would make a great dummer

[@tidalgrunt]

tmw you not only just found out that the megas DIDNT die after dping history repeating but have made a bunch more stuff since you last checked.

[@keaton5101]

the megas really know how to use the perfect lyrics, the ones that just make you feel... like, theyre so awesome you can physically _feel_ it like the "what a horrible night to have a curse" bit, how it's like a punch in the guts

[@keaton5101]

haha i think i made this comment when i had just started listening to the megas... i never stopped :p i still love this stuff. some of my favorite songs

[@keaton5101]

"i'm not the breakman" was my favorite because it cranks up the intensity and drama to the absolute max level, but i honestly think i listened to it so many times at such an emotionally charged time in my life that it's kinda lost that feeling for me. "evolution of circuitry" (the original) is a close second because i love that loud ass electric guitar noise and just how much energy is in the way the lyrics are sung. kind of just a straight banger, and it's really fun to sing. the remake sorta loses that energy, i feel. after that, probably "scent blasters" for going ridiculously hard, then the entire first megas x belmonts album.

[@Yoroiful]

I found this song in a random compilation and it was the best song on it. You guys are so underrated! Absolutely love how you used the original theme as your template.

[@MechaGriffin]

This song has more thought and soul put into it than any other recent pop songs out there, why do things like these never blow up? I don't know where I heard this quote from before, maybe it's from a shitpost, but here's the gist of it and I could never agree more: "Too many songs about love, not enough about sword-fights."

[@jairoukagiri2488]

People get lost in the deep, but anyone can cross a shallow stream.

[@nonprophetmusictv6242]

I'VE MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH. I will refrain from getting naked again, though.

[@mafiousbj]

Found this song because of a technowave compilation of Castlevania!! It´s awesome, and also appreciate the lyrics and references in them!

[@blurrzapper7777]

Just so you guys know, I always save this song for each October. It's soooo good.

[@destineerrush2632]

This is fantastic. I especially love the use of "Basement Melodies" in the vocal melody. Great stuff.

[@destineerrush2632]

After a bunch more listens I finally made the connection with the line "And so the shiver of the night arrives." Subtle touches like this just make my day. Simon's Quest/Accursed Seal is my favorite game of all time and this song just captures the spirit of the game so well.

[@riotshielded-archive]

Small world, literally was just listening to Castlevania music earlier today, then you guys come out with this awesome song! Keep up the good work!

[@ojovemretrogamer6009]

*"What a horrible night to have a curse"*

you took that track to the next level.. as much as I like lots of metal covers etc, this is really special and unique, thanks, great tribute!

I've never heard anything of such epic poetry in motion as this. This will stick with me forever.

This is by far the best video game cover/song on the net, and a damn fine song of any genre.

[@ianbarrow4087]

It's crazy how often I return to this song. Great job guys

[@elizabethsnowbell5396]

I just realized something. That's Carmilla on the album cover. Appropriate considering the song and the game both are from.

[@tuckervb]

I've been listening to you History Repeating: blue/red non stop for the last 3months or so, even though i'm not super huge into megaman you freaking nailed it and made me want to play Megamann 3 (for the first time). I am now UNBELIEVABLY stoked to see that you've got Castlevania stuff.

[@StardustWarrior16]

This is fantastic.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

You guys really knocked it outta the park! I'd love to hear more Belmonts stuff from you.

[@DecisiveThreat204]

this track can easily describe the struggle ive been going through. This nightmare just keeps getting worse, what a horrible night to have a curse. This family damned to fight, the demons gift of eternal night. A Marked man slowly torn apart. Through these 8 accursed years hes been drowning in his tears, bloody tears. This song is amazing, it speaks volumes for me. Gone through exactly 8 years of hell now and I feel like im cursed and damned to fight all my life.

[@markrode9699]

The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night.

[@fishotic4237]

We've always said the worst night to have a curse would be a night where you had planned out a really good night with someone you don't get to see very often, that you enjoy being around, and the curse prevents you from doing so. The best nights to have a curse would be a night where you're in proximity to some kind of curse resolving expert, with nothing better to do than do whatever needs to be done to resolve your curse.

[@mikeberg6407]

Is this like the legit Megas Channel?

[@theMegasband]

You bet!

[@johndearing4180]

Would you consider putting out official lyrics for all these? New to you guys, and I've already binge-listened to everything you have.

Damn, I didn't know you guys were releasing a second run of the cassette! This is awesome! I just bought mine and I'm hyped as fuck. Also I noticed that this run had the lyrics included in the booklet. Was that there in the original run of the cassettes, too, or is it something you added for this one?

[@theMegasband]

We added that for the second run, the first run instead had a reversible Belmonts/Megas cover.

[@TheFlipside]

Awesome! Are these still handmade like the original run? Also, I think you guys uploaded all of your music to this channel now, except for Megatainment. Are you gonna upload that soon or are you not gonna do that one?

[@theMegasband]

Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder! Felt like I was missing something. Second run was professionally done, since we had the time to turn them around that way and it's much easier!
