How much fucking Castlevania music can you handle, fuckers? Konami is hoping it’s a lot, hoping you can handle it straight up into your guts. The company is dropping a Castlevania boxset this December and it contains 26 goddamn volumes. Fucking 26!

If John Carpenter ain’t the coolest motherfucker alive, I don’t know who happens to be. Look at that Force of Nature, absolutely cutting a fucking rug. Absolute stable of insane movies directed? Yup. Absolute stable of insane soundtracks and albums recorded? Yup! Dude’s just dominating on all fronts, and all he seems to have to do in his old age is play music with his family and rock video games.

Been listening to his latest album lately, and today’s column title is a reference to its titular track: Alive After Death. Shit dudes, it’s even got a fucking rad music video.

Anyways, the phrase “Alive After Death” resonates with my ass lately. Maybe it resonates as a reference to emerging from a post-pandemic world. Maybe it resonates with my idea that the ideal life is a recursive one, where if we aren’t continuously dying and emerging changed after learning from our mistakes, we’re doing it wrong. Maybe it resonates with the feeling that comes at the end of every semester, born anew after the cataclysm of another school year in the books.

Whatever the case, the phrase is snared in my synapses, and I figured I’d share it with you. Not just the song, but the thoughts behind its resonance, and a little bit of the ole opening up of the soul.

This is Monday Morning Commute. You already know the fucking drill.

So soon! So motherfucking soon.

Well, ain’t this shit interesting. Konami has filed new Japanese trademarks for both Castlevania and Metal Gear Rising. Could this mean they’re actually making new fucking installments in the titles? Furthermore, do they even have the talent in-house to do the franchise justice anymore? In fact, reports in February had them outsourcing the franchises. If so, who is going to get them? Who fucking knows! Intriguing though, no?

Fuck yeah, gimme some Castlevania season 3 hotness! I was lukewarm on the second season. When it popped it popped. But, when it dragged, it dragged. I think this was partially due to its budget. However, this third season comes with more episodes, and a higher budget. Let’s fucking go!

I have not watched the second season of Castlevania. I blame life, ADHD, Red Dead Redemption 2, and anything else in my vicinity. That said, I really want to. So, I’m fucking stoked that the show will have a third season.
