Rite, most of you probably heard about the Castlevania series - even if only for the old Nintendo. Well, it just so happens that Konami released a true classic for the Playstation 1 - Symphony of the Night. Not only a masterpiece in gameplay and old school 2D graphics, but also in MUSIC.
To tell you the truth, I got pretty amazed at the soundtrack of said game - it has ev'rything, from pop-like Castlevania standard themes to true classical masterpieces (ands I know what I'm talkin' 'bout. I have a pretty decent classical colection I keep listening to) with a bit of Heavy Metal with a scent of Gothic Metal added in the mixture.
Therefore, it's no small wonder Vanessa Mae agreed to play 'Dance of Pales' of said game - although some of you may argue she would play anything depending on the amount of money. And you're probably right. By the way, I have the mp3, if any of you are interested. Yngwie Malmsteen - yes, YNGWIE - has also played an excerpt of the Castlevania II music on the guitar (duh), for added factoids. And Cradle of Filth too, by the way...
So, who here is a fan of the series or just this game? It seems to be the high point point of the series, although - or maybe because - the main character is not a Belmont, but Alucard (aka Adrian Farenheit Tepes, son of Dracula). Prety ridiculous name, ey? Helluva character, though. Kicks ass like no other.
Cheers! :bottle:
