Listen to the Haunting Theme Song For Netflix's CASTLEVANIA Animated Series
As we wait for the upcoming animated series adaptation of the Nintendo classic Castlevainia to be released, Netflix has shared the theme song for us to listen to. It's a haunting and eerie musical score that echo's the tone of the original NES game music.
The score is called "The True Science" and it was created by composer Trevor Morris. He also did the music for the Marvel series Iron Fist. When talking to Nerdist about the working on the project, he said:
“Being asked to contribute to Castlevania was such a great call to get. As a composer it’s just a cool, colorful and interesting world to get into, and provides endless inspiration for music. It was just such a fun and cool project to work on, I could score Castlevania for years and years."
The writer of the series, Warren Ellis, added:
"Trevor is a master of his art: hugely innovative, yet with a deep understanding of early music, combined with a love of electronics, creating something weirdly primal but completely contemporary."
You can listen to the musical score below. I also included the original music from the NES game. You can definitely hear aspects of the original music in the new theme that was created.
Inspired by the classic video game series, Castlevania is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself.
Producer Adi Shankar previously revealed that there are currently two seasons ready to go and that both of those seasons were written by Ellis (Thunderbolts, Wolfskin, Red, Fell, Iron Man). The first season is set to air later this year, and season two is coming in 2018. I loved what I saw in the first trailer, and I'm excited to see what the series brings.
