Noble Friends.
I created the complete discography of Castlevania, the years 1990 to 2011. All albums are registered with the site VGMdb – videogame music and anime soundtrack database (http://vgmdb.net)
I know many users search for albums spread across sites and this forum, so I decided to create this collection to offer some comfort to all of you, saving time.
HIGH QUALITY
I created four categories for easier searching of songs: Official Soundtrack; Game Audio; Special Collections and Drama.
This discography does not contain doujin albums.
I hope you enjoy my creation
Comment, share and enjoy.
It’s the Brazil conected in Game Soundtrack
Regards to all, and forgive me the possible errors of English.
As possible, I will update the discography when new albuns was published.
SPECIAL THANKS

I will upload the discography, by megaupload, to make the job more easy.
For this, I need some days that I do all the work, ok.
I am indebted to all of you and I do not want you stay with a bad reputation for myself.

That’s the spirit of this Discography: make the job more easy for all Castlevania lovers. Thanks a lot for your words!
You right, Hillsy. I have to give the credit. But Gamemp3s dosen’t have all soundtracks. Therefore, I will make a special mention to Gamemp3s, ok.
Thanks.

Hi, Orie. Maybe you are the only person that have this album. I created this discography only to download official soundtracks, even Drama e Arranged songs. There are a lot Doujin"s albums, maybe you can created this especific albums. But, thanks for sharing Vampire Variations.
Bye!
And this will go to my castlevania collection. I was very sad with the arranged albums in japan that came in the beginning of the year. :/
Well, I just want to make sure castlevania fans would listen this album. 🙂
It is really worth it, or more. 😀

Also, any possibilty of rips from versions that didn’t got a proper OST release, with proper credit tags and album art? I’m really crazy after a Castlevania I and Dracula’s Curse that isn’t all musics mashed together or some lazy rip.

Thanks, Magma. About rips, I will upload only Vampire Kiss, from SNES, and Symphony of The Night realease tracks. I did some research on music and there are only these albums to complete all the songs from Castlevania.
Doujin/fan club will not be include because they are not official soundtracks ou are not included in the games.
Enjoy it!!!!
Man… I’ve made one time a torrent if all soundtracks, but my internet connection, in my country, is too slow. So, It was too hard complet 100%. That’s why I’ve download megaupload and, now, mediafire server.

It is possible, ZellFk, but I will take the post, because I work all week and I can only upload this on Saturday.
I’ll see what I can do, ok.
DarkShing, I have participated in some forums, and what I see is speculation about the launch Panchislot III. But I have not seen any official confirmation from Konami. I’ll be looking to know about the release of this album, ok. And thanks for the appreciation.

If I could get only ONE (album) of these, which one should it be?
JSN111, it’s a hard choice to pick only ONE. But, i really like Castlevania Symphony of the Night Original Soundtrack, because this tracks has marked my life!!!
For JSN111, tough call. Obviously you could try Castlevania Best Music Collections BOX (GFCA-195~213) and have a really nice compilation. But if it’s only a single disc you must choose, it depends if you appreciate oldschool 8-bit soundtracks. I would go for 1990 ~ Castlevania Best (KICA-1005). More into rock renditions? 1994 ~ Perfect Selection Dracula Battle (KICA-1145). Orchestal and upbeat combos? 1997 ~ Castlevania Symphony of the Night Original Soundtrack (KICA-7760) as he said. When you get the hang of it, try them all. It’s been a consistent series regarding their soundtracks.
It’s a shame that in all the compilations and original soundtrack, Aria of Sorrow sounds like crap. I don’t know what they did to the sound, but it was a lazy work. You better go with a sound rip of the game than the versions on the soundtrack.
I was just thinking the other day… Is there any version, even if fan made, of the Aria of Sorrow soundtrack that doesn’t sound like 32kbps GBA music? It’s such a great soundtrack. The clock tower and garden songs are fantastic!
E obrigado pelos uploads Gilcimar RB! Aqui em Portugal tamb�m h� fans! 😀
(just saying thanks in portuguese)
Do you have a good game rip of Super Castlevania IV for the SNES? I don’t mean the official soundtrack version found in Akumajo Dracula Best 2, but good quality homemade rips by you or anyone else, no SFX: I’ve long since discarded the official ver. for that reason alone, and since I don’t have any programs that’ll let me remove most SFX without also damaging the music itself, I need whatever I can get.

I’m sorry, I don’t have any links to that soundtrack, but have you tried getting the SPC music files and converting them to FLAC or MP3?

Man, I’m sorry, too. All soundtracks from SNES versions are a rip files from SPC archives, like Keeperxiii say.
I have a question: Is it worth having the ultimate collection (Best Music Collections) and the Original soundtrack of each games represented in it in a same playlist?
I Wonder such because I have some of the past albums soundtrack and the collection do not seem to have all tracks of each soundtrack in it. So I wonder if, after adding the Huge collection, it is useful to keep the old soundtracks.

Marth, for me it’s worth it, because above all, we are collectors. I even understand your question and my answer to it is: simply vanity.
We are collectors and more new albums that will repeat old songs, is an official release that does not replace the old one.
I hope I have understood your question, noble friend.
And thanks for apologies!
But one small question remains : What is a Game Audio. You have put two albums there and I cannot find them on VGMdb. Are they Official products?
THNAKS AGAIN for this amazing discography!
Correct, AFMG. His words explained very well what it means "Game Audio", "Sound Version", "Unoficial Soundtrack", "Sound Rip", etc … …
Marth, there is no official version with songs from Castlevania Dracula XX (Vampire Kiss) and in this case, the extraction of these songs were made to create a new unofficial soundtrack.
That’s why it’s a different section.
AFMG, I’m at work for now. But, tomorow, I will listen this music to compare with the Oficial Soundtrack, ok?
Even the quality of sound is better, it will not be difficult to convert all the songs to the format that you described???
Even the quality of sound is better, it will not be difficult to convert all the songs to the format that you described???
The ripper gave me 400 MIDIs (I’m betting it’s the soundtrack plus SFX or something, still have to check them) and a SF2 file that is a Soundfont. The Soundfont tells the player which instruments to use for each MIDI. It sounds better, yes, but I can’t say 100% sure it’s EXACTLY how it is supposed to sound. It sounds right to me, but maybe my ear is deceiving me, that’s why I want people to try out. Each track is just looped onece with a tiny bit of sound that bridges the music to make a loop, so creating a complete soundtrack will be easy with a sound editor. The output file can be WAV at 48 khz/32 bit, but that doesn’t mean it’s pefect, because the samples and such. I can upload the MIDIs and the SF2 file if someone wants to experiment with all these. My advice is to use XMPlay and the MIDI plugin since it can write the playback to WAV with less effort than a similar setting with Winamp.
P.S. Oh boy, this is heavy. So I’ve been fiddling with the SF2 files… SF2, as I mentioned, are Soundfonts, samples of instruments that are assigned to certain channels in the MIDI. Obviously, the samples in Aria are lo-res, so no matter how much you upsample the file, they won’t sound better, but you can get a better and direct sound than what could be obtained with the GBA. Now, if you use a different SF2 file, the MIDI doesn’t get assigned the right instruments, because obviously it was meant to be used with that particular SF2, not as a General MIDI file. BUT (here’s the kick) it is possible to edit the SF2 and replace the samples with samples from another Soundfont. There are a lot of High-Quality samples out there, and I’ve gotten a couple to try, but don’t count on me doing it soon. I’m willing to take the chance to edit the SF2, but still have to check how large is the instruments and such. Not an easy task, but in the meanwhile there’s still the test I uploaded, so that.
P.S. 2 My God, I’m doing this ass-backwards: Why would I edit a Soundfont (which, by the way, it’s more than 50-100 samples) instead of editing the MIDI file to assign the correct instruments? (Somebody kick me, please). If anyone can recommend a good MIDI editor, I’ll try to check what can be done.
Glad you liked it, Crizalid.

Good evening, my noble friend. I did all uploads and would like you to help me make sure everything is back to normal.
Any irregularity, post the album so I redo the work.
Sorry the delay in uploading.
ENJOY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found out what the problem is: the mediafire is sorting some albums as copyright protection, preventing other users to download.
I will consider another alternative to offer downloads, ok.
Some soundtracks can be downloaded in 4shared. Please, report me anything wrong, ok.
See ya!!!
Noble Friend, I apologize you for the delay. Unfortunately in Brazil the internet speed is unfortunate, as every service paid by the customer. So it took me to update the information.
I created this topic in order to facilitate the search for the soundtracks, and not vice versa.
Enjoy it!!!
This is the intention, Blackout 870. Thank you for expressing your joy…
However, parts 10 and 11 of 2010 ~ Castlevania Best Music Collections BOX (GFCA-195~213) have been deleted from mediafire. Would it be possible to have these two parts uploaded again? Thank you.
ED : Just noticed the post above mine. I guess we will be several missing these last two parts.
tip: i think the problem with the down files are their names, change for a random name or something and keep with the original name of the file in the folder inside them.
That really doesn’t do anything.
One could argue that it doesn’t do anything the addition of passwords to the archives, or the download links themselves, given how some file-hosting services keep records of stuff like CRC, or again they decide to automatically delete your passworded-archive, because it is an overly-abused system for the sharing of packs containing illegal files. In the end, they can all be considered equally useless nuisances. It’s a fact that more and more file-hosting services are implementing these silly checks, especially since the fall of MEGAUPLOAD, and if the filename has blacklisted words like original/official/soundtrack…. it’s more likely to get deleted as soon as the upload finishes.
Protect your archives by masked names, passwords… It may help either way, or it may not.
This is a reply I got from a MediaFire representative through a support ticket regarding a file I had uploaded for backup purposes. Rather short, but to the point…
The filename of an archive has no relevance. In your case, it was detected that the archive you uploaded contained copyrighted material, thus why it was marked and locked. While the file is locked to others, it isn’t for you. […]
Redirect loop or something like that.
I’m sorry for leaving this post. I had an accident, and my right arm is killing me because the pain. So I had to go away for a long time.
So … all links are down…? Ok, ok … I’ll reupload again in another site, 4shared. Media Fire is considering all the files as copyright, so is banning downloading.
Give me two days to complete all downloads.
My apologizes, once again, for the absence.
Brazil is complicated, my friends.
Some soundtracks are uploaded. Give some time to make the complete work, ok.
Man…, it would occupy too much space on 4shared. Furthermore, my internet is slow, what I would double work.
Unfortunately things do not work in Brazil as well as in the USA.
I apologize for not being able to offer in loosles

Where did you even found that soundfont? Game soundfonts… why didn’t I ever thought that existed?
I have been playing Lament of Innocence… My GOD, what a washing sight after playing and seeing how dull and boring game is lords of shadow. Me and many people I know, fans of castlevania, play once, and they don’t want to touch the game anymore…. because it is not worth it.
Oscar Araujo is not such a good composer as everyone is Painting him to be. Oscar araujo laziness in compositions is very well shown in the 3 games.
Michiru Yamane will never do castlevania anymore since she is out of Konami. They could have hired Yuzo Koshiro, which worked in other castlevania titles. He is the only one not tied by contracts to Konami, as practically all konami music composers got themselves out of the company. Akira Yamaoka is only back to make the soundtrack of the new silent hill just because Guillermo del Toro is his friend, and he accepted, but if it was Konami asking, Akira would tell them to suck it up, since he got sick of working for konami on their ridiculous timelines.
So, unless Konami get’s composers not tied to themselves by contract, like Yuzo Koshiro, then we will have no good soundtrack ever at all.
I don’t want anymore "Lords of Anal" (because only shit gets out of that place) games.

Thanks for this, it’s been ages since I heard the password entry tune from CV II.
If anyone wants to buy this, it’s both the Famicom and NES versions of the soundtrack to Castlevania III.
I also don’t understand the hate for Lords of Shadow franchise, I really enjoyed the first as a game and the soundtrack was absolutely amazing – the game was visually very beautiful as well. The games have very different music when comparing to the old tunes, but Castlevania as a franchise has really needed to sail unto new waters and try out new things. After Symphony of the Night there hasn’t been a single good Castlevania game for consoles, the only good games (from time to time good games…) have been on handheld machines and they follow the same pattern every time. It’s Symphony of the Night again, again and again over and over again, why couldn’t they try something new – are they too afraid to try new stuff because some old people might be afraid of new winds and changes? I am deeply disappointed that after all these years there hasn’t been a Castlevania game more in memory of Super Castlevania IV or Castlevania III Dracula’s Curse. It’s nice that they tried to do something completely different with Judgment, but I believe that was something that was doomed from the beginning.
The Lords of Shadow franchise tried to take the 3d castlevania franchise further with completely new style, sound and feel to it. The first Lords of Shadow game was a really big hit and great success in my book, the game was so beautiful and the fantasy scenes and themes of the game were something that brought Super Castlevania IV to my memories, I was very glad to be out of the "one big castle" and experience the wilderness and forests. Casting of voice actors was good (Patrick Stewart as the narrator was amazing!) and the battles were smooth and fun. Bad sides of the first game would be the fucking little piece of shit who always took your stuff, you had no choice over how the story unfolds (but then again, games these days rarely let you choose anything at all and the games that do have three options – bad (kill the puppies!), neutral (pet the puppies) and good (take the puppies with you and love them until they die of old age)) and the quick time events were tedious and they broke the immersion of the game pretty efficiently. Audio visually the game was a great success, the castle and scenes all over looked amazing and the score made by Oscar Araujo was very beautiful as it woke great feelings when paired with the scenery. They had to turn a new page in history of Castlevania and the first game was just amazing, I am ever grateful for them to try and revitalize the otherwise dying Castlevania brand.
Too bad that the second game (Lords of Shadow 2, I don’t want to talk about Mirror of Fate – EVER) was nothing like the first game. The first game had set my expectations so very high, they came crushing down when I got to play Lords of Shadow 2 for the first time. All the amazing visuals were now gone, replaced with never ending darkness and boring sights of grey blocks side by side. The game didn’t offer any change at all either, it was just city – castle – city and ONCE in the game you got to see a forest – in the castle! – and that was over in 10 minutes or less. The game revolved around the battle system, it was improved from the first game but the fights weren’t the most important thing to me, they were just something that had to be done in order to progress the story, to see where you would get next, what would you get to see? Another titan? Amazing waterfalls of Agharta? Nope – more of the same old boring city with some god damn soldiers wearing jetpacks. The soundtrack in this game has some good moments, but even the soundtrack is oriented more towards the battles that weren’t so important in the first place. All the beautiful, calm and majestic sounds had now been exchanged with progressive music to raise your fighting spirit. I’m afraid that the only good parts of this game were the story (from time to time), music (from time to time…) and Patrick Stewart.
I wish new Castlevania games took bigger risks, tried something new and gave a new chance to the up and coming artists. Symphony of the Night is an amazing game, but these days I am afraid that the game might these days be making more harm than good since because it’s the golden standard that all the Castlevania games have to aim for. They have to be just like Symphony of the Night, do the same things but bigger and better. But do you know what? Symphony of the Night was first of it’s line. It featured Ayami Kojima’s art, Michiru Yamane’s music and instead of making a new Super Castlevania IV, they made a Castlevania game in style of Metroid games and it was a huge success. Too bad that Symphony of the Night was so big success that they haven’t been able to progress the games in any way, even though small improvements have been made in Aria of Sorrow and friends.
Hopefully one day Castlevania series will have another golden age before the series becomes forgotten in the history. In order to do so, they have to change.

It was already an ass to trying to get ost 3 of PSO2, because I had to ask a friend to download those 2gb rar for me and upload the individual discs instead, because I was epic ignored in the thread of it when I asked about it. Not everyone has a great super bigger HDD and super fast connection to download a 2gb rar.
Gamemp3s torrents are always seeding. A lot of people complain right away like if the world will end that it does not work. All older archive torrents still are working fine. Yes, you need to wait some time, more than usual, but the download will be complete for sure. It might take 10 days to download an album of 100MB? Yes, sometimes, but it’s not needed do despair like your life depends on it right now. As almost all users I offer a torrent as help, do and say that. Not mention the very bad skills in something called "research". There are more places in the web nowadays that you can get what you want about game soundtracks.
Speaking of which.. I dont’ even know if Castlevania Dungeon has this box there. I have not been there for so many years, I don’t even know if that is the right name. :/

I don’t know this composer (Araujo), neither I ‘ve hear CASTLEVANIA. LORDS OF SHADOW 2. I’ve read the last posts of Orie, uut, iwannabelikemike, etc… and I’ve told myself: I’m not a fan of PC Game Soundtracks and I suppose with those comments the music will be actually pretty boring. Then, just out of curiosity, I’ve read reviews in webs and the opinions are pretty varied.
For example:
another bad review:

http://www.amazon.com/CASTLEVANIA-Lords-Shadow-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B00I4WG7Q2
Perhaps the music doesn’t fit well with the game but I think I’ll give a listening.
Lords of Shadow 1, is boring…. I mean really boring. There is nothing memorable that get’s stuck in your mind easily. The game was also awful. I’m sorry but I can’t believe castlevania "fans" defend such a depressing game, because that is what it is, depressing all the way.
Mirror fate, is where Oscar Araujo stars with laziness. A lot of cues were re-used, but the problem in that is, they were re-used to my themed of something else, when those songs were already a Theme (of something) in the previous game, BUT (not my ass), Mirror of fate actually has the best music. There are a lot of tunes and cues that did stuck in my mind. Lords of Shadow2…. again Re-using pretty much everything from the 2 last games.
For example, the Boss Music of the Lady of the Crypt (I am such a sucker for that song) is in Lords of Shadow 2 titled as "Hunter and Prey". And it’s much more based in electronic sound. It does not that is bad, but the thing is…. Why? I like electronic but I kinda feel it incredibly OF regarding the last soundtracks.
But Mirror of fate does have a problem. At some point you will feel that the music is all the same, and that is due to SAME SYSTEMATIC rhythm Oscar Araujo used in Strings and Drums in ALL Boss fighting music for example, but it was also used in other tracks. The horns, also feel very damn repetitive. Not in one song, but , you pick random 5 tracks, and the ones with horns, you will notice that they are in same uni-tone.
I like Mirror of Fate soundtrack a lot, I do, but that does not mean I have to talk good about it when it does have issues. I have to admit that there are some songs, that "the guy must have smoked weird weed to make this so out of the blue and original’n’interesting"
Try it for yourself. Listen for yourself.
nice calm feeling but you know what it doesn’t do? Give off that Castlevania vibe. None of the songs do.
That is the problem with the lords of shadow series, it’s all just a copy-off of God of War and The Force Unleashed.
Thank god there will be no more lords of shadow games, they’re giving the whole Castlevania series a bad name.
