"Following the success of the first album in October 2011, Alexandre Mourey (Chernabogue) and KNGI.org are proud to present Vampire Variations: Volume II – a whole new tribute album to the Castlevania series, released on October 31, 2013.\nThis new album focuses on two major games from Konami's series: Rondo of Blood (PC Engine, 1993) and Bloodlines (Genesis, 1994), and on the music composed by Akiropito, Keizo Nakamura, Tomoko Sano, Mikio Saito (Rondo of Blood), and Michiru Yamane (Bloodlines).\nBut this time, we decided to put it to the next level: 2 albums, more than one and a half hour of music, more than 25 musicians and performers, and full album artwork. Everything was done by fans, for fans, to celebrate the games' anniversary.\nThe project's musicians were asked to arrange the tracks the way they wanted to, and to create their own vision of the soundtrack. The project features several different genres, including orchestra, metal, funk, electronic music, and many other. In order to respect the work of the artists, no final mixing or mastering was applied to the project.\nThe project's artwork was created to bring the universe of Castlevania to life, but also to give Vampire Variations its own visual identity. Unlike the first project, different covers were designed for the second one to allow listeners to chose the one they prefer.\nI would like to thank all the people who made this happen, who trusted me, and who dedicated their work for the project. I truly hope you will enjoy this new musical experience, as much as I enjoyed directing this project. The Dark Lord is rising once again. Hold your crucifixes close. What an horrible night to be cursed once more...\n- Alexandre Mourey (Chernabogue)\n- Track information -\nDisc 1: Rondo of Blood\n1.01 Sinfonía del Diablo\nArranger(s): AngelCityOutlaw & Chernabogue\nSource(s): Divine Bloodlines\n1.02 Mechanical Salvation\nArranger(s): Eino Keskitalo & Tuberz McGee\nSource(s): Requiem\n1.03 Richter's Graveyard Groove\nArranger(s): Mega Beardo\nSource(s): Cemetery\n1.04 Nosfearatu\nArranger(s): AngelCityOutlaw\nSource(s): Cross a Fear\n1.05 The Damned Thirteen\nArranger(s): Lashmush\nSource(s): Op.13\n1.06 Transylvania Sound Machine\nArranger(s): Stemage & Chunkstyle\nSource(s): Picture of a Ghost Ship\n1.07 Krush Kontrol\nArranger(s): goat\nSource(s): Former Room\n1.08 Phantasmal Hellfire\nArranger(s): Timaeus222\nSource(s): Dancing in Phantasmic Hell\n1.09 This Whip Was Made To Punish\nArranger(s): Lashmush\nSource(s): Slash\n1.10 Crux Fortitudo Mea\nArranger(s): aensland\nSource(s): The Den\n1.11 Circle of Illusions\nArranger(s): Rize\nSource(s): Illusionary Dance\n1.12 Chocolate Rondo (I Kinda Love It)\nArranger(s): The Nate Horsfall Experience (Cate Johnfall, Glate Elliotall, Grate Henfall, Hate Silvall, Nashua Horfeeze)\nSource(s): March of the Holy Man\nAll tracks based on Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
