I truly hope you will enjoy this new musical experience, as much as I enjoyed directing this project. Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (AKA: X, Demon Castle Dracula X: Reincarnation of Blood, Akumaj Dracula X: Chi no Rondo) is a very classic and popular action adventure video game for PC Engine‘s Super CD-ROM System, developed and published by Konami from Japan in 1993. Since Konami never localized a single one of its PC Engine games for the west, it languished in Japan. Konami published it exclusively on the PC Engine CD-ROM2, the Japanese equivalent of the Turbo CD. I would like to thank all the people who made this happen, who trusted me, and who dedicated their work for the project. This version of the game took nearly 15 years to make its way to the U.S. In it you guide the main character, Richter Belmont, through nine different stages as he searches for.
Unlike the first project, different covers were designed for the second one to allow listeners to chose the one they prefer. Also know as Akumajo Dracula X: Chi no Rondo, Rondo of Blood is a famous entry in Konami ‘s Castlevania series that was initially made exclusively for the PC Engine CD-ROM and first published in 1993. The project's artwork was created to bring the universe of Castlevania to life, but also to give Vampire Variations its own visual identity.
In order to respect the work of the artists, no final mixing or mastering was applied to the project. The project features several different genres, including orchestra, metal, funk, electronic music, and many other. The project's musicians were asked to arrange the tracks the way they wanted to, and to create their own vision of the soundtrack. Everything was done by fans, for fans, to celebrate the games' anniversary.
This new album focuses on two major games from Konami's series: Rondo of Blood (PC Engine, 1993) and Bloodlines (Genesis, 1994), and on the music composed by Akiropito, Keizo Nakamura, Tomoko Sano, Mikio Saito (Rondo of Blood), and Michiru Yamane (Bloodlines).īut this time, we decided to put it to the next level: 2 albums, more than one and a half hour of music, more than 25 musicians and performers, and full album artwork. Following the success of the first album in October 2011, Alexandre Mourey (Chernabogue) and are proud to present Vampire Variations: Volume II – a whole new tribute album to the Castlevania series, released on October 31, 2013.
