Count Strahd von Zarovich plays a slow, mournful Bloody Tears on the organ in his great hall. Audio Remastered for more impact. View the original: • Bloody Tears on Strahd...
"The Sunsword...well played, Paladin...but I am not ordinary vampire, to be killed by your mortal magics. I am Strahd von Zarovich, AND I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!"
@@GOUSTX "This ends...in the name of Tatyana." "It ENDURES in the name of Tatyana." "I grieve with you...but I won't let you hold Barovia hostage." "You couldn't stop me before." "I was alone, before."
Paladin: rogue, flank him. I'll be in front guarding you. Rogue: gotcha. Paladin: wizard, when he moves, you move. Hold him down with your magic. Wizard: of course dear friend. Paladin: fighter, with me. If the Count goes after our wizard you protect. Fighter: ha as if I'll let him hurt ole hats. Paladin: bard, support and lay cover fire. I know you have been dying to use that new instrument. Bard: oh yeah, this will be a grand battle. I can't wait to write the ballot of the Vampire Slayers Paladin: good, now.... begin.
Today I listened something very similar in the Lutheran Church (orgel vesper) . In Russia we have concerts of different music, from classic to modern :)
Just ran the Dinner with Strahd event at my table and we used this music during the dinner - it was amazing. Highly recommend this one and Nier's 'Shadowlord' on organ if you're in need of some good organ music
this is definitely what i want him to play. the classic Bach toccata is way to on the noise and this give such a feeling of pain and almost makes you question how a literal monster can make such beautiful music. its horrifying
Slamming keys thru soul-wrenching howls of anguish at the memory of a lost loved one. Resentment and anguish envelope your soul, transmuting into an unquenchable feeling: MALICE
when your party consist of a dhampir a pirate a sorcerer and some guy with a whip that turns monsters and demons including vampire into a micro mininuke. if it even scratches them.
Castlevaina III, which the show is losely basted on, had four playable characters, Trevor, Sypha, Alucard, and Grant, who was a pirate, and who was cut from the cast during the adaptation process.
I run a d&d campaign, and the main BBEG is based kinda loosely on strand, for personality reasons. and this is his theme song. so I found all different remixes of bloody tears and bust out individual songs at specific emotional intervals lol. this version was the first the players heard, when they entered his castle...
I don't generally do music for my games anymore, but I'm running Curse of Strahd right now, and I had to make an exception, though I'm using Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata for his theme. I use the first movement for dramatic scenes, and the third movement for battle.
Just imagining for a moment, that the party includes a bard. The rest of the party wishes to attack while Strahd is distracted, but the bard holds up a hand. Strahd is their mortal foe, but music is what defines the bard's soul. Slowly, he pulls out his instrument, and joins the melancholy song. Strahd, of course, already knew of their arrival, but this is new. He has encountered many who seek to ambush him. Who throw empty threats, self-righteous sermons, and pompous monologues at him. This is an old dance, one he has performed hundreds, perhaps thousands of times, in his attempt to win the love of a woman he can never have. But this bard...he understands. Together, the music swells. A song of unrequited love. Of futility. Of frustration and pain. Of madness born from the refusal to accept the word "no". Of the torment of being trapped in a land that will give him everything, except what he truly desires. And as the song concludes, the bard bows, and draws his sword. "And now...we see if I am to join the Ghost March. Thank you, Count Strahd, for one final indulgence."
This scene literally happens in the novel Vampires of the Mists. Strahd is playing the organ when Jandar Sunstar, a gold elf vampire who is taking refuge in the castle, hears the pain and anguish in the music. Dealing with all the burdens of his unlike as well, Jandar pulls out his flute and Joins Strahd, and during the musical performance the two begin to understand eachother's pain and joys in ways that until then words could never convey. Great story for anyone who loves Ravenloft or just vampires in general!
I plan to be using Bloody Tears as Strahd's main motif. His final boss theme will be the TV show version, and I'm finding various other versions for his other encounters, and this of course for Ravenloft's ambience
The second session of my home brew campaign had the party investigating this high society gala, I dropped hints throughout the session and at the end everyone were revealed to be vampires and their favorite NPC was killed after a monologue from the main villain, set to this song… superb.
In Dracula's defense, he was around before Strahd. I bet they get together on another plane from time to time to have a feast in the mind of a Belmont a la' Sheogorath and Pelagius III.
Okay i gotta ask, in the intro before it switches into Bloody Tears: you have opening note done in the style of Toccata & Fuge but then it is the song "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, right? Right?? Because that also fits Strahd's motivation to a tee!
That's funny! I remastered it as well, but I haven't shared it yet. I think you've got some clipping going on.. or my USB speakers can't handle the bass you added. Hard to tell which without grabbing a copy of it. ;)

This seems oddly Familiar
Imagine walking into church and hearing this epicness

The Nier soundtrack is just so good. From Nier I use the track Dark Colossus Destroys All for major boss fights as well.
@@kumarawr740 Smart! I should do that too
What a terrible night to get lost and tonight of all nights

Resentment and anguish envelope your soul, transmuting into an unquenchable feeling: MALICE
Do fear, Strahd is no simple monster. He was once a powerful man who was lead astray by his envy and lust to his ultimate corruption.
A monster is a relative term. In a birds eye a cat is a monster. We are just used to being the cat.
when your party consist of a dhampir a pirate a sorcerer and some guy with a whip that turns monsters and demons including vampire into a micro mininuke. if it even scratches them.
I don't get the pirate.
Castlevaina III, which the show is losely basted on, had four playable characters, Trevor, Sypha, Alucard, and Grant, who was a pirate, and who was cut from the cast during the adaptation process.

Why not use the entire Castlevania soundtrack? It's full of phenomenal music!
Opposing bloodlines works great for towns and taverns, as well as exposition.
I don't generally do music for my games anymore, but I'm running Curse of Strahd right now, and I had to make an exception, though I'm using Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata for his theme. I use the first movement for dramatic scenes, and the third movement for battle.

Gigachad energy from your party's bard
Dude, i am playing a Bard in CoS. I am sooooo going to do this. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
Funnily enough I have Dhampir Bard that this would fit if I used them in Curse of Strahd

Great story for anyone who loves Ravenloft or just vampires in general!
I feel I’m missing out on a game with a huge story. Mind filling me in?
I plan to be using Bloody Tears as Strahd's main motif. His final boss theme will be the TV show version, and I'm finding various other versions for his other encounters, and this of course for Ravenloft's ambience
The simple fact that this version is slower makes it the best version of Bloody Tears
What a horrible night to have a curse
Oh my God I've been wanting this to be redone its an amazing piece on organ.
Beautiful! Castlevania is more than just a game. It represents something in humanity. And the music is a glimce of that
What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets.
this makes me feel powerful
Sad yet Agressive very well done. Dracula would be proud
If there was one instrument to play this on...
The second session of my home brew campaign had the party investigating this high society gala, I dropped hints throughout the session and at the end everyone were revealed to be vampires and their favorite NPC was killed after a monologue from the main villain, set to this song… superb.
Curse? There's no curse here! This is epic sweetness!
Totally using this as Phase 1 of my boss fight with it turning to the metal remix of the song in Phase 2.
It's good to not b forgotten hail to the original lord of the night
In Dracula's defense, he was around before Strahd. I bet they get together on another plane from time to time to have a feast in the mind of a Belmont a la' Sheogorath and Pelagius III.
Omg this sounds so good
This is 100% going to be the song Strahd is playing when my party walks in to their dinner with him.
Cheers, this is just what I needed
The difference is subtle, but I like the stronger bass. Good stuff!
I love it.
Okay i gotta ask, in the intro before it switches into Bloody Tears: you have opening note done in the style of Toccata & Fuge but then it is the song "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, right? Right?? Because that also fits Strahd's motivation to a tee!
beautiful
Rahadin in the background breakdancing.
Volenta headbangs
literal goosebumps. Cannot wait to DM this shit.
So cool.
This is really good stuff.
Can you do an extended version of this holy fuck?
You can just loop it.
@@Kepora1 I dunno, the beginning is pretty jarring, I think think it loops well as-is
I am so happy we are all on the same wavelength.
Maybe collective consciousness does exist.
This shit got me stomping around my living room like an autistic dinosaur, incredible cover
Wow!
I hate UA-cam ads
*laughs having ad-block*
Happy fucking Halloween boys
That's funny! I remastered it as well, but I haven't shared it yet. I think you've got some clipping going on.. or my USB speakers can't handle the bass you added. Hard to tell which without grabbing a copy of it. ;)
Listening to it with headphones, I think the problem comes from your speakers. Truly a testimony of how powerful this arrangement is on the organ.
I yield 🙇♂️
This is nice! What changed?

I have a question for the composer. Is this the Castlevania theme switched to minor?
any chance for mp3/flac?
