History AwesomeMusic / BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBFqq0aYobM "Theme of Bloodstained"]], the very first piece of music composed for the game, used in the very Kickstarter trailer itself. An ominous yet hopeful symphonic piece that suits the game perfectly. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn-jqOk35rI The Piano Version]] has a sad tone to it but grows more hopeful at the end, representing Miriam's character. There are also two vocal versions, one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWCqq3ffHtQ English]] and one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ungw7k6FzrY Japanese]], which serve as a nod to "Nocturne" from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight''. Due to licensing issues, the English version is not available on the official soundtrack releases.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzchYZrOT88 "Call of Eternity"]], the File Select theme. Once you hear the OneWomanWail, you know exactly [[{{Metroidvania}} what kind of game you're playing]].
* The very first area of the game, the Galleon Minerva, is accompanied by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFfbBrdwQsU "Voyage of Promise"]], which proves to be every bit the SpiritualSuccessor to "Ruined Castle Corridor" from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk0eKneoSBY Theme of Gebel]]. As a fan put it masterfully, it truly is a tragic theme for someone who is already dancing with madness.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiDcVBG9on0 "Luxurious Overture"]], the theme of the Castle Entrance. A somber, yet fitting theme for the first major area of the game.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV-PZB5YU80 "Lost Garden"]] is almost a dead ringer for Marble Gallery and Tower of Mist.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHF1dtgcmbw "Holy Wisdom"]], the theme of the Cathedral of Dian Cecht. Five straight minutes of glorious pipe organ and OneWomanWail that hearkens back to "Requiem of the Gods" from ''Symphony of the Night''. It's also used as the music for the game's [=PS4=] dynamic theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebbO3FcEd7w "Bibliotheca Ex Machina"]], the theme of the Livre Ex Machina, is a haunting and suspenseful track befitting the unusual technology and the many death traps scattered throughout the level, serving as the denouement before reaching Gebel's keep.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkNsGURvERI "Gears of Fortune"]], the theme for the mechanical tower, has a fast-paced, adventure-friendly tune, epic violins all over, OneWomanWail midsection, and awesome drumming.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0m7IUKzQ_w "Forgotten Jade"]], the theme for the Forbidden Underground Waterway. Fans of Yamane's underground and underwater levels in the ''Castlevania'' games will feel right at home with this soothing and peaceful track, with the sound of water added for good measure.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2ixOSgDFxw "Cursed Orphan"]], AKA "I Will Prove Them Wrong!: The Theme". Pure, unadulterated ''Castlevania'' rock that makes traversing through what is commonly called one of the most hated areas, the Lava Pit, worth it.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8kBIhNwonY "Autumn's Desolation"]] exists to remind you that yes, this game was made by the same people who brought you ''Symphony of the Night''. You know full well you're in Zangetsu's territory as soon as you hear the Japanese rock kick in. Players who trudged through ''[=SotN=]''[='=]s Clock Tower will be proud.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JbD7gWO08Q "Theme of Zangetsu"]] is a slow, somber Japanese piece which highlights Zangetsu's determination to exact revenge on Gremory and every single demon in his path.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uLDlOATrxk "Theme of O.D."]] is a rather familiar-sounding piece that calls to mind a certain ''other'' vampire, just as O.D. himself does.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdLBQIRSBzM "The Executioners"]] serves as the main theme for bosses. Naturally, it draws much inspiration from "Festival of Servants" from ''Symphony of the Night'', being a hectic metal track.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ykDW8F0sz8 "Exorschism"]], a faster paced, metal BossRemix of Zangetsu's theme that plays when you fight him the second time.
* Briefly previewed in the game's intro cutscene, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3efw5gfXt0 "Silent Howling"]] serves as the boss theme of Gremory, as well as O.D. and IGA. A symphonic metal track that calls back the musical style of ''Harmony of Despair'' in all its rocking glory. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SodVAFN5nv0 An 8-bit remix different from the one heard in ''Curse of the Moon'']] also plays against the 8-bit Overlord.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMyFrRMEEXQ "Repentance"]], a BossRemix of Dominique's theme, which showcases her true colors as the game's BigBad, but also has a lighter and melancholic tinge to it, representing the person she used to be before she fell to darkness.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8JW2lhjJl4 "King of Kings"]], an imposing and epic orchestral piece which plays during the battle against the TrueFinalBoss, Bael, the king of all demons and the last obstacle before Miriam's long journey comes to an end.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJHdgQ1nNcQ "Theme of Tamako"]]. Bet you'd never guess a simple enemy would get their own theme music now, eh? Tamako-Death is a unique enemy found in the Livre Ex Machina who is basically Music/BabyMetal fused with I-no from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', being a demonic rocker chick clad in red with an electric guitar that she uses to attack you with. Therefore, it's only fitting that her theme be reminiscent of the works of Creator/DaisukeIshiwatari and absolutely '''shred''' on the guitar for pure bliss on the ears.

This game reunites once more the creative styles of director Koji "IGA" Igarashi and composer Creator/MichiruYamane, and the results are just as breathtaking as the original ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' games. Accompanying Yamane is Inti Creates' very own Ippo Yamada (composer for ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan10 10]]'', as well as ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt''), Jake "Virt" Kaufman (known for remixing the ''[=DuckTales Remastered=]'' soundtrack), and Noisycroak (a supergroup consisting of many former Konami composers who have worked on past ''Castlevania'' games such as ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair'').
