notes: '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.

  This 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).

  But 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.

  The 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.

  The 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.

  I 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...
