  • Singing and playing viola da gamba on this soundtrack was an amazing experience! Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how I performed Divine Bloodlines and the Divine Bloodlines Reprise that played during the credits of episode 6. Thank you eternally to composers Trey Toy and Trevor Morris!

    This is easily one of the best iterations of Divine Bloodlines if not the best. I got into Castlevania for the first time in high school I think, but there’s one thing I think we all can agree on. The music for Castlevania games or otherwise is always very good.

    It's one thing to be singing on this track but you did your thing on the viola. My WORD. You gave life to a track I didn't even think needed it at first. Your talent and extra seasoning was peak for all of this show and even standalone for the song. Easily my fave rendition of Divine Bloodlines that you have to listen to it as a suite to fully appreciate your work here.

    My lord I must have listened to this song about a 100 times or more at least since I watched Nocturne and the music was BONE CHILLING. I was sooo hooked and my lord fit the scene so well. Can I just say how happy I am that smaller animated studios reaching out to unknown and smaller music composers is so freaking awesome? It's happening more often and I'm super glad that people are getting the recognition they deserve for making such beautiful music. I have no idea if you came up with the lyrics yourself (Latin) and the arrangement but either way for you to record it all by yourself and sing it single handed was amazing. WELL DONE and I REALLY hope that you come back in season 2 for more BONE CHILLING music.

    I did not particular care for Nocturne nor the previous seasons. They have not really struck me as great. It's not bad either, but nothing to really talk about.
    However, this is, IMO, one of the best scenes EVER. The way they incorporated Bloodlines into this scene is undescribeable. I seriously cannot put it into words how it is. Saying you did an excellent job on this (esp. the chorus part) is a severe understatement.
    Thank you for the job you did.

    There’s a part of the song where you or someone is chanting or singing rapidly along with the music. I heard it in the show but I can’t find that part in any of the music. It sounded so epic that it’s killing me not being able to find whatever ost that was.
