I've compiled all the 'Castle Entrance' music(or the music that plays in first stage) for Igavania games here.
SOTN
Circle of the moon
Harmony of Dissonance
Aria of Sorrow
Dawn of sorrow
Portrait of Ruin
Order of Ecclesia
ROTN (not confirmed as Castle Entrance yet?)
Which one do you like most?
These tracks reflect the atmosphere, characters, tone, seriousness, etc. pretty much everything in the game.
If graphics are a body then the songs are souls of the games.
- You can feel the coolness of Alucard in first song.
- Too bad I haven't played Circle of the Moon & Harmony of Dissonance yet so I can't describe that. T_T
- I think Aria & Dawn feel very similar in tone.
- Then you can feel the fun, light-hearted, adventurous in Portrait of Ruin.
- Order of Ecclesia... I don't know. I love this song but it feels too bright & cheerful for the atmostphere in the game.
- ROTN !! God! I don't know how to feel about this. It's just too different from all the above. Of course because it's from different composer (Yamada). I'm not sure if this is the mood of Miriam entering the castle. May be they'll use it for later stages, who knows...

Kitti, the BenVenture still cracks me up. Did you see that I posted it here? Would you mind if I moved this to the music section?
Considering the hardware used to make that song, I have to vote Harmony.

Sure. What do you mean by cracks you up? Sorry I'm not native English speaker. My apology, I didn't notice there's a music section ...

Harmony uses the same hardware as Circle of the Moon, the GBA. They said they have to sacrifice music quality for graphics. Anyway, Harmony does the job reminding us of the great 8-bit castlevania music.

Thanks. Or I can help you by re-creating the poll altogether. I've copied all the BB code to safe place.

Imagine all Aria of Sorrow orchestrated 8gif All Castlevania's music are superb orchestrated, there was even a concert years ago at Stockholm, you can check it at youtube, though they never released a CD with the musics. The Portrait of Ruin is the best in my opinion, the music really grew on me.

The best one for me would be SOTN's, followed by Dawn of Sorrow's.
...Huh? No one else likes Dawn of Sorrow's? The tune is quite catchy though, I remember making Soma dance to the tune.

Oh man, this is hard... I love all of those Entrance themes. I voted the Order of Ecclesia option, just to be different. I'll try to rank them for myself below. #1. I'm leaning toward " Ruined Castle Corridor" from AoS, " An Empty Tome" from OoE (though " A Chapel Hidden in Smoke" does sound like it could be an "Entrance" theme of-sorts), " Invitation of a Crazed Moon" from PoR, and " Successor of Fate" from HoD. #2. " Castle Dracula" from SotN, " Awake" from CotM, and " Pitch-Black Intrusion" from DoS I don't feel I can rank " Cursed Orphan" yet, because we're not even sure that it will be Bloodstained's "Castle Entrance" theme. Here's a link to Order of Ecclesia's true Castle Entrance theme, " An Empty Tome" (also used for the Library area of the Castle):

I first voted for Order of Ecclesia. But changed to AoS because it's somewhat too bright, thus doesn't fit Shanoa. But still love the song though.

I like OoE's the most, and I don't know if cheerful is the right way to describe it... it certainly isn't dark or forboding though, but that kinda is understandable given the story of that game. In that one you don't goto dracula to stop horrible atrocities and whatnot... in that one dracula is sleeping, and you are the special one who will end him once and for all, it shouldn't be a dark moment in that sense.
That said the new one for BS is... I agree, it's unlike the others, It's not bad per say, but I dunno, seems kinda noisy to me, particularly the first 7 seconds...Which is strange because that music most resembles what I listen to outside of gaming (death/black metal).

Yeah Cursed Orphan is cool but it's different.
I have a feeling that it is heavily inspired by this song:
Which is also one of my favorites.
