I think Dracula's Castle captures and modernizes very well the 8-bit rock-centric themes of the NES Castlevanias No one has mentioned Bloodlines (Stage 1) from Rondo of Blood

Alucard's entrance into Dracula's castle will always be my all time favorite as, in my opinion, Symphony of the Night is a gem from Castlevania's legacy. Although, I am waiting forth to see how the music will be introduced in Bloodstained, where you will be at this time, what you will do or deal with...

Now that I see this thread again, I can't help but go back and listen to certain Entrance themes over & over again...when I could be playing one of the games and enjoying the Entrance theme in it.

For your convenience, I made a playlist of all Castle Entrance themes of 2D Castlevanias from 8 bit era up to Order of Ecclesia. Enjoy m.youtube.com/#/playlist?list=PLoMxqvCtip38Zp-hmkBAdg2Vf_C-1nXLH

You're welcome. When I get yo my PC I'd want to add the missing ones from those 3D titles too. Lament of Innocence is one of my favorites.

For me it could go many ways, even Juste's theme but I voted Monastery; Castlevania Order of Ecclesia doesn't enough love it deserves.

Gotta go with Circle of the Moon on this one. It might be my favorite Castlevania track ever.

Invitation of a Crazed Moon is the best. It's a very different tone than the rest of the games in the series, which fits PoR's tone being much lighter than most of the other games save for DoS. It's adventurous and bold, but it still hints and danger and mystery. Also the cover of it in Harmony of Despair is amazing, with its rad grunge guitar at the start.

It's really a bit of a tie for me, but I think PoR slightly beats out the others by sounding the most like the earliest games in the series. Not as in the usual remixes you get in each game, but rather I feel the music fits the themes for 1-3 so closely that I wouldn't have been shocked if you said the PoR soundtrack was new music being added to them for whatever reason.

I gotta admit it's a tough choice for me between symphony of the night and aria of sorrow,though my favorite music will always be Bloody Tears,especially some of the remix versions,in fact I love a lot of the remix castlevania music

They are all good, but I like Harmony of Dissonance's castle entrance theme the most. This one just hits the right chords on me. Starts with an intro, then the tempo speeds up and plays a wonderful melody that, as how I can describe it, inspires a comfortable and secure sense of hope in front of a seemingly insurmountable feeling of oncoming dread, in the most effective way compared to the rest. In another way for HoD, the quality of the music matches the quality of the graphics. The "8-bit" music layered on top of its rather SNES-like color pallette just makes sense to me. OoE's An Empty Tome is a very close second if not simply tied for first. Hmm... I must have been the only one who thought Prologue was actually OoE's castle entrance theme.... seems consistent with all the others to me, but I digress

First castlevania game I played I think was circle of the moon. My first ds game was portrait of ruin and it's my favorite igavania first level theme. My favorite castlevania 3d theme is Abandoned Castle from curse of darkness, looking foward to the music of bloodstained.

With today's development update:
Now THIS sounds like a 1st stage / castle entrance theme to me than the Cursed Orphans by Ippo Yamada.
Cursed Orphans is cool and all but to my ears it fits more with open-air levels later in the game. =)

Pitch Black Intrusion is amazing, it became my favorite instantly. Its sound picks up gradually, and represents winter and dawn in the area perfectly.
