As you probably know I’m a contributor to OverClocked ReMix, which is a jury-curated portal showcasing arrangements/covers (here: remixes) of video game music — and much, much more! It’s one of the greatest place on the internet if you’re into video game music, trust me.
Two of my songs already made it on there, one being “You’re Not Alone! / Our Darkest Dreams” of Final Fantasy IX fame and the title track to “Deflektor” which I made with my band Zero Division all the way back in 2010.
I’ve teamed up with Jorito, one of OC ReMix’s most prolific remixers, and lent vocals to his kick-ass heavy metal rendition of a tune from the original Castlevania game. Guitar duties were handled by the wickedly talented Tuberz McGee. Check both of them out and quick!
The tune, aptly called “This Wicked Heart of Mine” can be found here:
I’d be truly flattered if you checked it out!
Also, here are the lyrics:
This wicked heart of mine
The chaos inside my mind
Tearing me up inside
There’s a man
In the mirror that’s not me
With bloodshot eyes
On the brink of sanity
A thousand lost souls
Calling out for me
I hear their voices everywhere
They call my name
Their wicked game
“Surrender yourself
To the darkness in your mind”
Give yourself up
To the turmoil deep inside“
Seven years
Then a maiden spoke to me
An angel’s voice
In the haze of lunacy
“You bear the curse
Of a man you sought to slay
Rip out his heart
And the madness goes away”
A dark encore
It cries for more
And from the ashes of your twisted mind you’ll be
Reborn anew
With a heart so true
Unless the evil from inside devours all
This wicked heart of mine
The chaos inside my mind
Tearing me up inside
“Wicked child
With your heart of fire
Give into fear
And your dark desire”
In his lair
The demon waits for me
The final fight
To regain my sanity
Weapons flash
In the struggle to survive
This night shall bring redemption to my strife
He calls my name
Our wicked game
“Surrender yourself
To the darkness in your mind”
Give yourself up
To the turmoil deep inside“
A dark encore
It cries for more
And from the ashes of your twisted mind you’ll be
Reborn anew
With a heart so true
Unless the evil from inside devours all
Now death awaits
At heaven’s gates
The voices fade and still this wicked heart of mine
