This is the song that plays when you're squaring up with the opp and suddenly your best friend who's been off the grid for 3 years pulls up and asks you which one he should beat up first
This song feels as if the spirit of Simon Belmont is giving John Morris & Eric Lecarde the strength and courage they need to fight Dracula. This song also feels as if John Morris has finally proven himself worthy to be a successor to the Belmonts and wield the Vampire Killer, a weapon that once belonged to the Belmonts, and the same one that has been used to destroy Dracula.
You hit the bullseye with that comment! I love the timing of this remix, our two heroes have defeated the villain of the game it’s over, but it turned out there were too late, Dracula has been reborn so they have to cope with this madness just a little more and end this horror once and for all
ironically, it wouldn't be until his son jonathan morris in portrait of ruin, who would truly prove he was worthy of wielding the whip, as its stated the whip drained john morris's life force

I remember one time when I was 12 years old, Our House got Robbed took away a lotta Shit including my Nintendo and Super Nintendo, and I always luved Castlevania, Well when my Dad got me a Sega Genesis a Year Later & I remember when I had got this Game, When I 1st heard this Track I remember missing my Part IV & wanting to play it again, Now I have the whole Collection on XBox One & it really brings back Memories
@@ikagura Nope, if you dont have belmont blood, the sacred weapons like the vampire killer will drain your life fast, thats why the whip user here, john morris left the whip and try to teach his son to be a hunter without that weapon
@@ikagura It actually doesnt, kek. Much like the other guy said, only ones related to the Belmont's by blood can utilize the Vampire Killer at all, like the Morri's, and even then it requires a ritual for it's full power to be unlocked, as well as draining their life force with prolonged usage. Someone completely unrelated wouldn't even be able to use the whip properly.
@@ikagura if anyone tries to use the whip's full power and they are not a direct descendant of the belmont family after it is awakened. the whip will take 1 year out of their lifespan for every single strike of the whip. and constant use of it like john did is what killed him infact. jonathan's grandfather passed away the same way.
I feel like Simon would be the most feared in Dracula's eyes. He didn't have the aid of friends like Trevor. He didn't have Richter's magical abilities. He wasn't a near demi god like Julius. He went it solo with the Vampire Killer, sub weapons and physical toughness to take down Dracula.
I like both remixed versions of this track but to me this is how both versions sound to me Super Castlevania 4: Dracula is back and he's stronger and nastier than ever before, and Simon Belmont is also back to take out Dracula and his hordes of evil minions once again. He has to get pumped for a new and crazy adventure as he fights his way to Dracula to take him down once and for all. Now it's time for the journey begin! Castlevania Bloodlines: John and Eric have outlasted all the craziness to finally beat the one responsible for turning the world upside down so Dracula isn't resurrected. They think it's all over, but there's one more person they have to eliminate.... Dracula himself. Now the real fight is about to go down in a few moments. The pride and soul of the Belmonts will guide the two men. So they better get ready, because the final battle will begin shortly!
Super Castlevania IV is not a sequel dude, you have been lied to. It's a remake of the first Castlevania, it's the first time Simon is facing Dracula. Americans twisted the text of introduction to make people believe it was some sort of sequel. The real title of the game is just Akumajō Dracula/Demon Castle Dracula.
This is so damn powerful and evil! It resonates so damn good with "dracula" it gives the feeling just of it!!!! It's impressive and really admirable to think that someone could compose this, such a legendary beat, one of the all time greatest ever made.
While the original SNES version is iconic, I really enjoy the different approach this version has. SCIV starts triumphantly and keeps that percussion throughout the theme, while Bloodlines begins eith a much slower and darker melody before building up to a similar energy as SCIV. It's as if despite how tired John and Eric probably are getting to Dracula, it's as if Simon's spirit is goading them to push on to defeat the evil that has resurrected once again to swallow the world and mankind into darkness.
@Mach 777 So they pledge their alliance to a computer system and say the other systems are the "enemy"? That's kinda dumb. They're just old games systems, I like both.
@@guillermocalvillo4915 Soma Cruz isnt emo, he was just a normal high schooler until the 2031 eclipse. He’s not even emo in the sequel where a terrorist organization was created specifically to hurt him and reincarnate dracula.
Opino lo mismo. Obviamente la versión de Snes es superior porque se compone de más elementos. Pero la virtud de éste remix cae en su simpleza, puedes distinguir los diversos "instrumentos" y suena jodidamente bien. Prefiero esta versión.
Dance of the Holy Man, AKA the theme of Simon from Super Castlevania 4 (Original composition by Masanori Adachi and Taro Kudo). The real home stretch. Let us send Dracula back to the depths of hell from whence he came, once and for all!
Objectively, I preffer the SNES version 'cause the instruments sound clearer n' not arcadelike. However, this version is still freakin' awesome 'cause it strikes you right in the nostalgia by the arrangements, so detailed that makes it the perfect tribute!!!
Well, it's hard to tell. For me thoe two are like the same but diffrent songs. How to put it... other purpose soundtracks? Genesis ver is for like prelude to final fight For SNES it's like "good night to kick some asses"
Mysterious Maximus How? And yes, Castlevania progressively got worse over the years. But come on, one game has to have some kick ass value, like this theme!
I used to really dislike this version and not understand why people liked it so much when it is so mellow and slow…. Then I played the game and holy fucking shit hell yeah. If there’s a song that is gonna play while I am climbing the stairs to whoop vampire ass, it has to be this.
I wish I could hear what other people are hearing here. Not to be overdramatic or anything, but I honestly think this is rather poor on comparison to the SNES original. It lacks all the atmosphere, it's slower in pace, and the obvious drop in instrument quality is enough for me to deem it inferior. That's honestly how I'd describe the Genesis v. SNES argument entirely lol
"Lacks all the atmosphere"?? Yeah... In the sense that they have completely different atmosphere. The SNES version is upbeat and gives you a sensation of power and hope, while this one prepares you for the final battle and is closer to a rite (ironically closer to classical music than the console which is touted as the one more capable to create orchestral music), it plays on the homestretch after fighting the last boss right before Dracula and it makes the parallel between your character (either John Morris or Eric Lecarde) to an actual Belmont; they're just as worthy as Simon to beat Dracula. They don't have the same purpose in their respective games, and the Genesis version SHOULD NOT try to sound like the SNES version on that moment (even if it were borrowed 100% the same with the same instrument quality), it'd be completely missing the point. It's meant to sound like that not because of limitations, but for story reasons, and I dig this version better than the SNES', the latter becoming more and more cheesy as I kept on listening to it.

For 20 seconds
This version plays at such a perfect time that even though both versions are greatness, this one is the best.
this^ i got goose bumps the first time i heared it and walked up the stairs.

Respect for German filmmakers giving us “Nosferatu” and Count Orlock, the first attempt to bring Dracula’s story to film!
@@danbob8808 imagine your parents naming you Dan Bob smh weak name game 😔
This version does justice to the amazing original. Both are great.

Hey, I'm glad for you, man.. You really made it.
Damn that’s a cool story. It was probably like being back for a little bit when it played.
I say like both versions(Snes and Sega Genesis) of Simon's theme
I prefer this to the SNES Castlevania IV version. Really shows off what the megadrive could do.
Hears song start up and smiles.... "I may not be a Belmont, but I'm gonna kick your ass as if I were one!"

The feeling when you are pumped and ready to kick Dracula's ass for good!
Charging up those stairs screaming bring it, bitch
Right this is it count (or infact you're not a count at all!) I'm coming for you and there's no escape now!
“For good” lmao
If the demon castle war game implies that Simon Belmont's theme should be beyond perfect with a bit of Leon's theme sprinkled into some spots.
Farm for 100 ❤s just to hear this song over and over
Fantastic rendition of this theme. I play it before tackling new projects.
I'm glad Dracula is easier than most other Castlevania Draculas, it allows hype and adrenalin to take raw difficulty's place.
A mi parecer es la mejor versión de la canción de Simon, me encanta en la intro ese piano de iglesia como suena
It has a Gothic Rock feel, I like it.
The theme feared by all evil things that dwell in the darkness.
I like both remixed versions of this track but to me this is how both versions sound to me

When your on your way to Dracula I was blown away that this song would be on genesis too. :) cause I played part 4 before bloodlines :)
Just E.P.I.C
I like both the SNES and Sega Genesis versions, but the Sega Genesis version is growing on me and I like Bloodlines a bit better
Fuck, this song sound track is WAY better than most music on the radio TODAY!! My favorite Castlevania game from the entire series. :-)
Dios como me emocionaba este tema antes de la batalla final
This really feels like simon’s spirit is there to assist Eric and John on their way to fight Dracula
This is so damn powerful and evil! It resonates so damn good with "dracula" it gives the feeling just of it!!!! It's impressive and really admirable to think that someone could compose this, such a legendary beat, one of the all time greatest ever made.
This music and the running armors corridor, for me, are the moments where John proved himself as a successor of the vampire killer
A moment of silence for how awesome 0:05 was.
I love this song!
I could listen to this forever

シモンのテーマは、このセガ・メガドライブ版のヴァンパイアキラーバージョンが一番好き。
It's a shame you don't get to hear this for more than 20 seconds in game unless you just stand there for a bit.
A SNES song on the Sega Genesis.
Best track in the game. Makes you feel like you're on fire.
Simon's theme, AKA Dance of the Holy Man
oh hello theme from a game on an enemy console, didn't expect to see you here!
Enemy? What do you mean by that?
@Mach 777 So they pledge their alliance to a computer system and say the other systems are the "enemy"? That's kinda dumb. They're just old games systems, I like both.
Yeah, Konami didn’t seem to play favorites. Contra Hard Corps for Sega Genesis is actually the canonical sequel to Contra 3 Alien Wars on the SNES.
@@maxfieldstanton5005 Huh. noted.
Sounds like this was recorded in a hi high ceiling abandoned cathedral.. especially that extended intro. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
**goosebumps**
0:10 ooo chills
by far the best part... even better than other versions of the same theme.
The best version of this song by a large margin
Epic sound, gets you in the zone to kick Dracula’s ass
This is it! Time to kick Dracula's ass back to the netherworld once and for all!
Julius Belmont did that in 1999.
Dracula was later reincarnated into an emo Japanese boy.
I'm not even kidding.
@@guillermocalvillo4915 Soma Cruz isnt emo, he was just a normal high schooler until the 2031 eclipse. He’s not even emo in the sequel where a terrorist organization was created specifically to hurt him and reincarnate dracula.

This makes me imagine Johnathan and Charlotte climbing the stairs to the Pinnacle while this song plays as they remember everything they did in PoR
Nice Music Version.
Wow, this reminds of Super Castlevania. SNES. 😉
Simon is the best belmont in the history !
Ahhh the year I was born lol
Why people are arguing about a music that is still great sounding no matter which audio chipset it's using
No reign.. no rain
Dance of the Holy Man, AKA the theme of Simon from Super Castlevania 4 (Original composition by Masanori Adachi and Taro Kudo).
The real home stretch. Let us send Dracula back to the depths of hell from whence he came, once and for all!
The name Dance of tbe Holy man isn't official. It's name is Simon's Theme
final part
This soundtrack feels on the Church at Morning
Great remix

Two monsters disliked this.
kills the snes version
Agreed
F*ck yeah!
Well, it's hard to tell.
For me thoe two are like the same but diffrent songs. How to put it... other purpose soundtracks?
Genesis ver is for like prelude to final fight
For SNES it's like "good night to kick some asses"

And too. Think ppls say super Castlevania is better then bloodline ...Nope
Xadx Theme
Just to clarify, Bloodlines is canon, right?
Yes
@@spacereaper49 I thought so.
This song in that moment make this Megadrive Castlevania a bit better maybe 6/10 to 7/10 overall when Snes Castlevania 4 is 10/10.
Super vrgas
Castlevainia 6-5000. Go Get em Bloodlines :)
SNES version sadly DESTROYED
I like both
I strongly disagree, but I guess that's okay
Hell yeah
No
Yeah!!
The one note synth is better here but the SNES had more drums. Maybe if there was a better mix of the two.
Never Heard a Genesis Version.
I thinks it's better than SNES.
Yamaha Chip did better job
Y&P 3 Super Saiyan 4 Theme
I love music like man
you a hero from new tare
2018 man I gif 100·000
Like you are lagend
Way better interpretation of Simon's theme, hate the instrumentation. This should be what people cover and remix.
