OCR Spotlight: Vampire Spanker

A novel way to defeat Dracula

Vampire Spanker

From: Castlevania

Remixed by: Danneman & Silverknekt

The music of Castlevania lends itself well to rock interpretations but this multi-guitar acoustic rendition suits "Vampire Killer" just as well. It's a fairly straightforward mix, really, with some nice improv-ish bits near the end. The recording and mixing is very clean, top notch stuff. In many ways you might say this is VGM comfort food. Enjoy!

Nothing spectacular, but still good. I think the multiple guitars gave the song an interesting atmosphere.

Yeah, it's just kind of an enjoyable guitar mix. Nice background music.

That was nice. I guess it was good that you posted a soothing song when something rather frustrating just happened to me. I'm still pissed off and conflicted about the timing and nature of the thing ... doing this to me, but hey nice song. lol

Glad it helped. Good luck with...that thing that's pissing you off.

This song brings back hideous memories of falling backwards into bottomless pits over and over due to cheap enemy tactics while that catchy death jingle of Castlevania mocks me. lol Yell

I always did hate that knockback. Have you beaten Castlevania. I sure never did lol

Yeah that knockback is cheap and annoying. I beat the first Castlevania on NES a while back. It was hard, but not too bad. I have Super Castlevania 4 but haven't really played it that much. One of these days I'll get around to it. WTF knows when that will be with my insane backlog lol.

I have beat Castlevania IV. That's a great game. I'd really like to play Bloodlines for the Genesis but it isn't available on any digital service. Of course, I've never beaten any of the NES games and those are readily available lol

Pretty good stuff. I can see myself playing this on the guitar on the porch of Dracula's Castle.

Hey, I didn't know Drac's castle had a porch! And I hope your guitar literally doubles as an axe 'cause you're definitely going to need it Tongue Out

Well, it does have a stake on the end, so I got vampires covered. Not sure how I will get passed the wraithes and werewolves though!

ack! ack! ack! what did they do to the awesomeness that is "Vampire Killer". I know some people can go for guitar acoustics but this just does not work for me. Perhaps after reminessing about your epic fight in the world of castlevania but I'll stick with my Perfect Selection Dracula Battle reditiion of this theme for now.

Again with vampires! You rlike the 8th person I've run into, ONline and in person, that mentioned vampires. I don't know if it's just me but I think my mind is trying to get into the mood for the fall even though it's not offically fall. it's feeling like it though given the current weather changes in my area.

Well, I've featured Castlevania songs that have floated your boat before, so you'll just have to deal with this one lol. As for fall, I was out with the wife and kid doing some shopping today and I saw Halloween stuff out already, so maybe fall will get here earlier than usual. Personally, I can't wait for some cooler weather.

Not a bad version, very good actually. The Minibosses do a really cool version of this track too.

Don't think I've heard that one, but I can imagine what it probably sounds like. I'll have to look it up Smile

I was wrong, they don't actually cover that one, got it mixed up with something else,Embarassed. But they do some other cool Castlevania covers
