If you have a very good listen to this entire track and try to figure out what is going on in the track, it's actually a medley of themes from WotLK or Arthas' past: 0:00 - 1:30 - WoW main theme 1:30 - 2:27 - The vrykul 2:27 - 4:08 - The expedition to Howling Fjord by Arthas against Mal'Ganis or by the Alliance and the Forsaken 4:08 - 5:48 - The conflict between the Silver Covenant and Sunreavers 5:48 - 7:30 - Conflict with Illidan 7:30 - 8:09 - The call to arms against the Lich King.
+Nightronos To be honest Woltk hardmode was much more challenging in terms of gameplay and bossfights than vanilla wow, which was basically a gear check most of the time. I do miss vanilla the most though, but if I were to play it again on a private server I'd like atleast some improvements made in TBC & WotLK to transfer over, the token system for tier sets for example, seeing a boss drop a tier piece for a class and then realizing noone of that class needs it is quite sad.
Yeah but vanilla and tbc difficulty wasnt true difficulty. As the other guy said, it was a gear check. Even hellfire citadel in wod has more complicated mechanics than anything in vanilla or tbc.
Vanilla and tbc just seemed to be harder as gear was so stupidly broken and important, not trying to trash vanilla but way back then the game was really broken. Which is why barely anybody got to experience raiding content.
It's because his body was affected by the unholy energies that kept him in a state of undeath. Think of it as the juice, but in a necrotic form of essence. Unholy might as they called it.
best expansion of wow! dark fantasy setting, great instances and raids,snow almost everywhere and icecrown was EPIC. plus the soundtrack It was the time of Arthas who was everywhere even when you were leveling up. Now you get PANDAS!!! P.S Warlords of Draenor is the last chance to make things right for this game
OMFG faved! totally awesome man thanks for posting- I'm so listening to this in Naxx10 tonight (tanking /flex) I've been hoping to stumble across a compilation like this, and lo and behold here it is. :) Music is nearly as epic a Pirates of the Carribean, maybe more so in its own way.
I remember ever time I logined into this game I would hear and listen to this epic theme song for the Wrath of the Lich King man this game was my childhood in the early 2010s, ahh those were the good old days!!!!
The Best Music of all Add Ons. I hope this emotional feeling and the dark prevailing mood are come back with the next add on. The Epic North of WoW with its Fallen King.. Arthas.
Carl Frisén Cata was about a fucking dragon shitting our world, we are going to an alternate timeline to slaughter a shit tons of orcs with some Burning Legion things, pandaria was a bit darkish too with mogu/da dandarking/sha things but the brew and fluff just hide it.
This music gives me chills.. STILL!! I don't know how or why, but this song has got to be one of the most epic songs. It's beautiful, it's powerful, it takes you somewhere else.
I have to say that I think that Wrath of the Lich King was the last time WoW was really good. The main antagonist, while poorly written at times, was the baddest mofo on Azeroth and loathed by everyone. Northrend was outright awesome in every way. Game wise, it was near perfect, with difficulty spanning the gamut from easy to hellish, and everything open to all in one way or another. Hardcore work was rightly rewarded, while those who just wanted to play and have a bit of fun could still see everything with a difficulty curve they found acceptable. Wrath was, to the playerbase, balanced for everyone. The only people that really complained were those that thought endgame content should be exclusive and felt that the only way they could see themselves as top-tier player was by denying things to everyone else. And the Arena PvPers, but they complain about everything anyway, to no surprise to anyone. Safe to say that I really miss Wrath. Cataclysm was garbage for everyone, but magnitudes worse if you played Alliance like I did, and Mists was bland and rife with just as much one-sided factional bullshit and crappy writing for everyone not on Metzen's preferred team. Now Warlords is come out, and it's looking like it's just going to be another horde romp, which is as much a disservice to horde players as it is to Alliance ones. Yeah. I /really/ miss Wrath.
+monotonous Im 28, never had a gf either, stopped playing and the freedom is awesome. Games didnt help me in anything except learning English. If you knew God, he would free you from that any many other things that take freedom away. :) I meant no offense :)
This theme bring back so many memories. My favourite expansion hands down. I miss raids like Ulduar and ToC. Hell even OS was fun on hard mode (especially when you got super cool dragon for yourself as a reward from guild master!). Good old times ;_;.
I love this peice so much. I have to say that at 0.45 though I always get goosebumps, the build up and then a thunderous noise. Begin the battle, love it.
everyone says they hate it and shit and bag it out. When they didn't even play the game at this time i first started playing and i was 12 years old and was like in awe when i first entered as my orc shaman still will never ever forget what i did on that guy true place in my heart
i don't even play anymore, but i nearly crapped my pants reading your comment. "I feel proud to say that I am an honorable member of both factions" whahahah roflmao, just priceless!
Well, it really depends on what your good and evil is. You start as a part of the Lich King's army, but at the end of the quest line for the Death Knights, the Lich King casts you aside and doesn't want anything to do with you. You were a mere pawn in his mind.
When I hear this, I always imagine a run of ICC, where the last dramatic piece of music is the Lich King battle, until the final legato, where I see Arthas at his knees
No need to say that this sounds like other songs. They took their old, epic songs, and mixed them together with a new one. To make this epic piece of music. And it is, indeed, epic.
i think this is the best piece of music in wow of all times... sometimes i just stuck on the menu and listen to this song... if i just found the .mp3 of this..
WotLK is when I started. Best intro music for sure. Miss the old days when I was a noob. The game was so much more fun and exciting. Now its just grind grind grind.
7:59 PUT YOUR FAITH IN THE LIGHT!
Do you require my assistance?
DandyDen its funny because the lyrics actually say "welcome faith"
DandyDen im not that clued up on warcraft lore, but why does the archmage and tyrion have the same entrance music on hearthstone?
Kirk W
he does
Hald Ven i no he does , that doesn't answer my question lol
If you have a very good listen to this entire track and try to figure out what is going on in the track, it's actually a medley of themes from WotLK or Arthas' past:
0:00 - 1:30 - WoW main theme
1:30 - 2:27 - The vrykul
2:27 - 4:08 - The expedition to Howling Fjord by Arthas against Mal'Ganis or by the Alliance and the Forsaken
4:08 - 5:48 - The conflict between the Silver Covenant and Sunreavers
5:48 - 7:30 - Conflict with Illidan
7:30 - 8:09 - The call to arms against the Lich King.
10 years of music training. Nothing more.
Really I never played wow I only played Warcraft 3 n FT expansion. Everything u said I remember doing in Warcraft 3.
7:30 is about what lich King did for everyone and how he ruled, just a farewell wong if you would
The theme of minute 4 and 5, us more a dialogue between the sunreavers, the alliance and the Kirin tor. XD
You have been disconnected
fuuck. yes that was my experience when I played this game. AFK for 30 minutes, the next thing I hear is this song.
Apparently a few of us have had this happen, lol. Now you do that and you hear the Pandaran theme. Man I actually miss this one!
@@ShieldMaidenBLS yea
*distant roar*

Do you actually want to kill me ?
my heart gets frozen when i hear this so many memories best exp ever
+MyViolador i agree... after wotlk it really started to go downhill. let's hope legion will be good

Memories of better days.
Those was beautiful days, so many memories, friendship and fun. I wish this happen again.
I cry every-time i hear this... Ahh good times... I remember when i made my first dk... And i still play him (so much fun, still even)
PUT UR FAITH IN THE LIGHT
So many memories on getting disconnected and looking at the login screen.
***** I agree, WoTLK intro for days, with a bit of Cata rolled in. Hey what can I say, Cata had a great theme song! :D
- Cameron.
best expansion so far.
This is by far the most memorable and sickest song in warcraft history.
Considering WoTLK was the time I suffered the most from being DC'd, this theme song to me is the theme song of rage.
it really brings back memorys
Do you require my assistance? 8:00
Desideratus Fatum! Desideratus Bellum!
FIREBALL FIREBALL FIREBALL FIREBALL
PUT UR FAITH IN THE LIGHT
Ayy lmao I prefer the REAL quote, like
I AM POWER INCARNATE!
+Domas Productions so funny m8
You know what people never talk about? Arthas's oversized hands...
In this one picture. I noticed that too.
It's because his body was affected by the unholy energies that kept him in a state of undeath. Think of it as the juice, but in a necrotic form of essence. Unholy might as they called it.
Puppitear no, look at warcraft 3 in pre DK form his hands were huuuugee too
It's just the warcraft art style. Everyone has oversized hands.
***** I know, but Arthas's are realllly huge even compared the likes of Uther.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT DOWNLOAD
you will not believe how long ive been searching for this song thanks
best expansion of wow! dark fantasy setting, great instances and raids,snow almost everywhere and icecrown was EPIC. plus the soundtrack
It was the time of Arthas who was everywhere even when you were leveling up.
Now you get PANDAS!!!
P.S Warlords of Draenor is the last chance to make things right for this game

The Best Music of all Add Ons.
I hope this emotional feeling and the dark prevailing mood are come back with the next add on. The Epic North of WoW with its Fallen King.. Arthas.
Exactly. The dark mood is what I think could make wow great again. It's what they've been lacking, recently.
Carl Frisén Cata was about a fucking dragon shitting our world, we are going to an alternate timeline to slaughter a shit tons of orcs with some Burning Legion things, pandaria was a bit darkish too with mogu/da dandarking/sha things but the brew and fluff just hide it.
You have been disconnected from the server.
And when i heard this it was almost like i liked a DC.
This is the only video that has this song download : D Thanks!
whoa arthas gave me chills with the snow and the blowing wind sound at the begining.
The best era of WoW at all time!
I'd just like to point out that this is in 7/4 musical time, which is very difficult to make as good as this is.
how do you count that?
oh like | 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 | 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 |...
I think it changes over the course of the theme, as well as the tempo
man i just LOVE this when i first played this game and hear this song as you create ur character and advenutre around in ur home town
I agree, and it's actually a fragment from one of their older soundtrack songs, called 'A Call to Arms' which was used in the Warcraft 3 trailer.
PUT YOUR FACE IN THE LIGHT
8:01
faith not face jesus
MaRaX93 You don't get it jesus *facepalm*
Weirdly, I got that sound effect when installing Reign of Chaos.
Do you require my assistance?
Rakshasaaaa
Faithpalm*
6:09 That part is beautiful.
cuz its from TBC "the black temple"
The bit at the end... Thats the best. Not just the best part of the song. One of the best parts of a song i have ever heard.
This music gives me chills.. STILL!! I don't know how or why, but this song has got to be one of the most epic songs. It's beautiful, it's powerful, it takes you somewhere else.
Best theme ever.
When did Arthas say that? :o
what a great piece...love it. great build up to epic ending
Oh GOD what a soundtrack.... i love the violins at the start..... and the voices after that!

Yeah. I /really/ miss Wrath.

monotonous "You're goddamn right" -Walter White
monotonous get a life
*****
And pubbie tears, don't forget those
+monotonous I've only had boyfriends that played WoW - my first bf introduced me to the game.
+monotonous Im 28, never had a gf either, stopped playing and the freedom is awesome. Games didnt help me in anything except learning English. If you knew God, he would free you from that any many other things that take freedom away. :) I meant no offense :)

Still to this day the best WoW menu theme.
And then pandas.
Am I th only one who came here because of Hearthstone? :)
XYZinferno Nope
XYZinferno im here with ya
I love this peice so much.
I have to say that at 0.45 though I always get goosebumps, the build up and then a thunderous noise.
Begin the battle, love it.
i just love the flutes, damn it i love em!
"You have been disconnected"

07:30 - 08:15 EPIC!!!

gives me goosebumps everytime and nostalgia
best part 7:30
2:28
oh man this brings back memories
Thanks for the link. i very like this song
You have been disconnected.
Arthas, my son
Thanks alot :D!
Epic,Really Epic!This song makes me feel stronger when I am upset or something!
Tell everyone the Lich King is dead....and WoW died with him!
Tempi Tempster It didn't.
DrachenStreif compared to what it used to be. yes it did. yes it did die, a horriblee suicidal death.
M1ntberrycrunch
M1ntberrycrunch :(
Tempi Tempster there must always be a LK.... bam!
i remember when i played this game for the first time....When i saw the intro and heard this music i instantly fell in love with the game
Love the first 2 mins, the tune is full of tension and you can hear hammers being hit on a forge
i listen to this when I do transmog runs in ICC, brings back the memories!
The part where all violins start playing and it's like metal clashing, is the best part in all wow theme songs.
I listen to this all the time lmao, brings back memories.
yeah me too..after a while I even loved the dragon sounds
i miss hearing this along with the dragon flying around in the main menu background, this expansion was the best. good times
everyone says they hate it and shit and bag it out. When they didn't even play the game at this time i first started playing and i was 12 years old and was like in awe when i first entered as my orc shaman still will never ever forget what i did on that guy true place in my heart
"In the end all must serve, the one... true... KING!."
i still get the chills from this song, it describes so well how Arthas went from a righteous paladin to the fearsome lich king!
I stoped this game 3 years ago i justed clean WOTLK and this song make me feel so nostalgic... Miss TLK...
Indeed it is. The ending of the theme song was pure epicness!
I don't get bored playing Wrath raids over and over again :P
Chills man, chills.
i don't even play anymore, but i nearly crapped my pants reading your comment. "I feel proud to say that I am an honorable member of both factions" whahahah roflmao, just priceless!
Well, it really depends on what your good and evil is. You start as a part of the Lich King's army, but at the end of the quest line for the Death Knights, the Lich King casts you aside and doesn't want anything to do with you. You were a mere pawn in his mind.
this and burning crusade were the best! i still remember trying to get onto the server before that dragon came and roared. aahhh the good old days!!
Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, that's how great it is.
I misss this them SOO MUCH
We will remember.
This music is pretty much just plain epic.
There's no real way to describe WoW music, other than epic.
When I hear this, I always imagine a run of ICC, where the last dramatic piece of music is the Lich King battle, until the final legato, where I see Arthas at his knees
I wish i could go back to the good old days ;_;
tyvm for the translation :)
It's like a montage, you could feel the shifting themes.
No need to say that this sounds like other songs. They took their old, epic songs, and mixed them together with a new one. To make this epic piece of music.
And it is, indeed, epic.
were playing this song in band class : D its freaking awsome.
its been about a year since i played.... *sniff sniff* ohhh the memories
We're coming back, baby.
i think this is the best piece of music in wow of all times... sometimes i just stuck on the menu and listen to this song... if i just found the .mp3 of this..
the violin was a nice touch
Truly a masterpiece. Nothing more to add.
So many chills.
I miss dem old WoW times too :( Almost make me cry this song.
Where the hell am i getting these chills off?!
chills of great memories
the blood elf/sunwell theme here is brilliant. my favourite part of this soundtrack >illidan theme> and call to arms... v nice part entirely
that is a TOTAL UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!!!!!!!
Tears in my eyes :( God i miss those days :(
i miss this
simply incredible
I remeber this song so much
*You have been disconnected from the Server *
WotLK is when I started. Best intro music for sure. Miss the old days when I was a noob. The game was so much more fun and exciting. Now its just grind grind grind.
