To me, the Nazgul are the pinnacle of what a horror villain should be. They are an unstoppable force of evil that can only be driven away in very specific circumstances. They are driven by a will of pure malice. Their very presence inspires fear, the sound of their screech alone caused the armies of Gondor to cower. And worse, unlike most horror villains, they do not always simply kill their victim. If you are stabbed by a Morgul blade you become like them, forever bound to the torment of undeath.
***** "Do not pursue him! He will not return to this land. Far off yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man will he fall." The prophecy doesn't state that a woman will defeat the Witch-King.
-***** "Fall" doesn't mean "die", it means "downfall", which means "loss of power, prosperity or status". Glorfindel's prophecy didn't state the Witch-King would die, but fall. Mary's blade was what broke the Witch-King's spell and is thus what caused his downfall. The Witch-King didn't die, his body died. His spirit fled to Mordor and would've been re-embodied had the ring not been destroyed.
I remember reading The Lord of the Rings for the first time and when the Black Riders first appeared, I was just captivated by this image of a lone rider, dressed all in black, seeking for the One Ring. Something about that image just flew out of the pages and stuck with me ever since, a hint of quiet dread and that things were getting more serious for Frodo and company.
That is wonderful! You desvribe the exact memory of my first reading. I even remember telling my mum about the black riders. Its not even that they did much in that part of the story. But the ominous realization is memorable.
The absolute beginning gets a lot of flack for being too slow, but I swear from Bag End to Bree could definitely be my favorite parts of the first book. Just something about the green hobbits running from servants of the dark lord intrigued me.
It was the same for me when I first watched the movie (I watched the movies before I read the books). They were terrifying and fascinating at the same time

I felt that the films did a Stirling job with the screech of the Nazgûl. It is always painful and frightening to listen too. It actually makes you feel pain and fear when you hear it, even though it's just a film. The sound design team were fantastic.
Kato Sørensen well yes, but you’re missing the point. He’s complementing the sound design. Last time I checked books can’t have better sound design than movies, can they?
Henry J. Sure, but the books are still better. When you read it, it actually feels like you're there. Quite terrifying. Edit: But I agree this soundtrack is amazing.
"Though servants of evil, of Sauron's rage, Though they come from far, the plains of Gorgoroth, They be only shadows of Forgotten Age, From a time when evil was born from Morgoth. Dark he was, wicked in heart and soul, The Silmarillion, the Jewels of Light he stole, Crafting necromancy, destroying elven-kind, Dominion over Middle Earth was ever in his mind. Fair at first, one of the Maia, the fairest of all, Great in power, he was doomed to the abyss, Betrayal festered in him, his pride growing tall, Enslaving men and elves, all knew he was amiss. The Nazgûl are but a shadow, A memory of unended sorrow."
04:06 That part in the film(right before the fight in the Weathertop watchtower) when a single wraith steps into the light, the first time Frodo looks at it head on so near each other. Fucking gave me the chills holy shit.
The entire sequence where the Nazgul are chasing Arwen and then confront her at the river, is truly an artistic achievement IMO. Such a beautiful sequence. The music is a big part of that.
"Those who used the Nine Rings became mighty in their day, kings, sorcerers, and warriors of old. They obtained glory and great wealth, yet it turned to their undoing. They had, as it seemed, unending life, yet life became unendurable to them. They could walk, if they would, unseen by all eyes in this world beneath the sun, and they could see things in worlds invisible to mortal men; but too often they beheld only the phantoms and delusions of Sauron. And one by one, sooner or later, according to their native strength and to the good or evil of their wills in the beginning, they fell under the ring that they bore and under the domination of the One, which was Sauron's. And they became for ever invisible save to him that wore the Ruling Ring, and they entered into the realm of shadows. The Nazgûl were they, the Ringwraiths, the Enemy's most terrible servants' darkness went with them, and they cried with the voices of death."
"What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil, or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?" A paradox; for either way, evil remains.
@@chriswilder9719 true. then again, the end was that they won by not surrendering to evil. they won by staying focus on their goal and never decending that path, because if they had, they would immediatelly lose. that, and god. tolkein pretty much said that the only reason it all happened was because god litterally made gollum jump and dance in joy in the right moment.
And because Frodo was literally the only person (besides Sam imo) that could withstand the ring just long enough. The fellowship broke because boromir (I am not sure if I spelled that right) tried to take the ring and Frodo sensed the rest were close to trying as well. If not for Sam Frodo would have lost the ring or died on multiple occasions. I would say they succeeded because Sam stayed the course and stayed true to the mission and Frodo

lyrics: Chorus in Adûnaic: Nêbâbîtham Magânanê Nêtabdam dâurad Nêpâm nêd abârat-aglar îdô Nidir nênâkham Bârî'n Katharâd ENGLISH: We refused our creator We went towards darkness We were handed strength and glory, Now sauron we approach Lords of All lands'
The last two lines in that translation are incorrect. They never say Sauron's Adunaic name, but they do say the number nine, which makes sense, as there's 9 of them. "We deny our maker. We cling to the darkness. We grasp for ourselves power and glory. Now we come, the Nine, Lords of Eternal Life!"
Actually, Nazgul means Ringwraith. "Nazgul" is both the singular and plural, but you can have one Nazgul, one Ringwraith, or five Nazgul, five Ringwraiths, or all nine Nazgul, nine Rinwraiths. "Nazgul" does not necessarily refer to them collectively, and "Ringwraith" does not necessarily refer to them singularly. But yes, the Fell Beasts are the winged creatures that they ride.
I just recently rewatched the trilogy(my friend hadn't seen the movies yet) and I can honestly say that the Nazgul theme is my personal favorite throughout the whole thing.
"Look into my eyes...You are one of us." "....I cant see them." "Oh...Well....Pretend your looking at them. "Ohhh, okay." "One of us!....One of us!!.... ONE OF US!!"
This is the kind of music piece that'll put chills in your spine. The accompaniment of what Ringwraiths look like and what their sinister meaning of life is, adds on to the suspense in this
Imagine those things riding their horses in a charge towards Frodo all by himself, swords drawn, and he is helplessly by himself as this shit is gonna go down
Aragorn: NAZGUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Witch king: Woah woah woah man not the N-word, that's wraithist. Nazgul: what the hell man that's offensive! Legolas: Aragorn man you going around offending everyone nowadays Aragon: I meant no disrespect my pointy ear friend Witch King: DUDE DUDE YOU MADE A WRAITHIST COMMENT TO AN ELF!

Diogo Macena Agreed!!! They’re all good, something funny: I haven’t read all of the books! I mostly know the story from the movies/ video games/other media, lol please don’t hate!!!!!
Khamûl: "Shiii-re... Baaa-giiins..." It's probably my favorite scene of the movies together with when the Nazgûl to Bree and enter their room and mercilessly stab the Hobbits' former beds. These scenes really reveal how terrifying it is to be hunted by the Ringwraiths. You see how much fear is as much of a weapon to them than their blades. They're some of the most formidable and charismatic villains in the history of litterature and cinema.
The film's didn't get everything right, but the Nazgûl were pretty damn good. You've got to get the right balance between "insubstantial spectres of death" and "arrogant kings dragged into inhuman evil," and I think they mostly nailed it. It would have been easy to just make them spooky ghosts, like what was done in The Hobbit films, but I think the extra physicality of having human actors really added to the menace. I remember watching the films as a child, before I'd read the books. I remember not quite being able to tell whether they were human or monstrous at first, until Frodo looks at them while wearing the ring.
@@Ninjat126 I fully agree with you. I much prefer them to be spirits trapped in real armor and wielding real weapons. The menace they project become much more immediate this way. I've always felt that immaterial spirits are too abstract to be really frightening. By having a physical vessel, it makes them more real to me. That and I've always loved black knights in fantasy settings, so the Nazgûl really speak to me in this form.
*Lyrics of the Nazgul:* *Bârî'n Katharâd* *The Lords of Unending Life.* *îdô Nidir nê [nâkham]* *Behold! We are the Nine,* *Nêpâm nêd abârat-[aglar]* *We take unto ourselves the power and glory.* *[Ni]dir nê nâkham* *[The] Nine are coming* *Nêbâbîtham Ma[gânanê Katharâd]* *We renounce our Ma[ker of Unending Life].* *[Ma]gâna[ne] [Katha][râd]* *[Cre]ator of [Unending ][Life].* *[Magâ]nanê* *Ma[ker]* *Nêtab[dam] dâur-[ad]* *We cleave to the darkness.*
Man these guys were so intimidating, I thought that they were pretty cool until that one scene outside minas morgul, you are already on edge from Frodo walking onto the bridge and they haunting statues but then the witch king screeches and they go from intimidating and cool to f*cking terrifying that scene will never loose it’s impact. You couldn’t imagine how terrified Sam and Frodo must have been at that moment.
Fair question. Thought of that myself, but please do notify that even if this song is named after the Ringwraiths, Nazgüls, it doesn't mean that they purely own it.Many songs are named differently from the scenes they are used on.
From the ashes, a fire shall be woken A light from the shadows shall spring Renewed shall be blade that was broken ... the crownless again, shall be *king*
THIS IS SO FUCKING AMAZING. Not much gets me to feel that music high other than Kingdom Hearts’s Destati variations and One Winged Angel from FF7. The ringwraith’s theme GETS ME GOING
""Old fool!" he said. "Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!" And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade."
Sean Kavo Hmm, yeah might be so, since there's LotR and now the Hobbit in three parts. And if Jackson directs Silmarillion, I wonder whether it's gonna be a trilogy too.
I think P J should do the fall of Arnor as well... And do like 3 movies of the Witch King taking, Cardolan, Rhudaur and Arthedain with Arthedain having the main big battle like Return of the King and Battle of the Five Armies!
Our enemies fall, from low and high To salted earth, through burning sky And all shall know our Ringwraith's cry Let Vengeance Ring - and all hope die!
I did a little research on the topic, and I found that most think the only one capable of standing against the Nazgul is the Elven lord Glorfindel. They point to the fact that Gandalf (the most powerful of the fellowship) is on roughly equal terms with the Witch King of Angmar. Another point was the Nine's "black breath" which would have destroyed any weapon the fellowship used against them, and poisoned the weapon's wielder.
I know this is a super late reply but they don’t want to be saved, they relish the power he grants them and above all they yearn for more power their greed is what binds them to him
Actually while it was very few men, they had much assistance, which they also cut out of the non-extended edition of the movie. In the books, there are huorns, the ents which have gone treeish. They can move lightning fast, when they do actually move. Gandalf comes with the riders of Rohan scares the Uruk-Hai, most of them are still alive though, they run into what seems to be a regular forest, it's actually the huorns, the Uruk-Hai bodies are never seen again.
Ima be real I played this song and it started thundering and lightning outside, and I legitamtely thought that it was the song itself from how immersed I was in it.
Count the swords, 9 swords. It's easy to be confused because some of the raised arms look like hoods. And some people think it's 8 because one of the nazgul is hidden slightly and you can only see his sword and the top of his hood.
To me, the Nazgul are the pinnacle of what a horror villain should be. They are an unstoppable force of evil that can only be driven away in very specific circumstances. They are driven by a will of pure malice. Their very presence inspires fear, the sound of their screech alone caused the armies of Gondor to cower.
And worse, unlike most horror villains, they do not always simply kill their victim. If you are stabbed by a Morgul blade you become like them, forever bound to the torment of undeath.
Those weren't actually Elvish blades, they were Arnorian blades, and most of those and the ways of making them were lost when Arnor fell to Angmar.
Nope, the Witch-King was defeated by Mary.
***** "Do not pursue him! He will not return to this land. Far off yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man will he fall."

The Witch-King didn't die, his body died. His spirit fled to Mordor and would've been re-embodied had the ring not been destroyed.

I listen to this while Playing Bloodborne and fighting the Shadows of Yahrnarm
That fight seemed annoying. XD
PERFECT
Lol I do in skyrim on shadowmere 😂😂
I listen to this while playing Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
That fight is a 3 vs 1 is just pure Intensity
My friends listen to this song while riding horses...tbh...BEST THING EVER!!
To Mordor, to Mordor we shall go. To Mordor, to Mordor we shall take thee...
To Mordor, to Mordor we shall take the torch. To Mordor, to Mordor we shall put the sword...
To Mordor, to Mordor light shall come. To Mordor, to Mordor he shall go.
To Mordor, to Mordor a man and elf are united in death. To Mordor, to Mordor they shall bring their war.
All Uruks will fear their bright mark, for it brings their *doom.*
lyrics:
Chorus in Adûnaic:
Nêbâbîtham Magânanê
Nêtabdam dâurad
Nêpâm nêd abârat-aglar
îdô Nidir nênâkham
Bârî'n Katharâd
ENGLISH:
We refused our creator
We went towards darkness
We were handed strength and glory,
Now sauron we approach
Lords of All lands'
The last two lines in that translation are incorrect. They never say Sauron's Adunaic name, but they do say the number nine, which makes sense, as there's 9 of them.
"We deny our maker.
We cling to the darkness.
We grasp for ourselves power and glory.
Now we come, the Nine,
Lords of Eternal Life!"
ImmortalSynn yeah i dont really know the lauguage bro just copy pasted
Holy shit that's a LANGUAGE!? Man, Howard Shore did his research.
AtticWarrior1994 Tolkien made the language.
Jacob Furrow
Yes I know, Howard did his research on what Tolkien had made.

Now imagine the Witch-king of Angmar versus Darth Maul.
+ForgottenKnight1 no contest...
+XerasDezarrys Darkness awaits.
+ForgottenKnight1 Am I the only one that likes the bad guys more than the good guys ?
+Balalaika The Bear No you are not the only one
+ForgottenKnight1 Even better, imagine a mashup between Duel of Fates and the Revelation of the Ringwraiths
A Ringwraith is the individual Black Hood, a servant of Mordor.
The Nazgul are the Nine, the collection of them.
A fell beast is the thing they ride.
Actually, Nazgul means Ringwraith. "Nazgul" is both the singular and plural, but you can have one Nazgul, one Ringwraith, or five Nazgul, five Ringwraiths, or all nine Nazgul, nine Rinwraiths. "Nazgul" does not necessarily refer to them collectively, and "Ringwraith" does not necessarily refer to them singularly.
But yes, the Fell Beasts are the winged creatures that they ride.
My first movie that i saw in a theater was LOTR. I was 10 years old.
I just recently rewatched the trilogy(my friend hadn't seen the movies yet) and I can honestly say that the Nazgul theme is my personal favorite throughout the whole thing.
Star Wars music vs lord of the rings music
Isaac Zelinski oof
Can I choose both?
Lotr all day dude. SW is a close second
@@_Hunter839 i agree
LOTR is way better (books and movies), but I think Star Wars barely clinches the music.
This song make me want to be one of the black riders!!
Dishonored Gamer until you put the ring in and see they're faces as shriveled up prune
Not a good idea.
Dishonored Gamer Are you sure you want to be a slave to the greatest evil of Middle-Earth?
Lmao be careful what you wish for.
deadpool kaboom I would
"Look into my eyes...You are one of us."
"....I cant see them."
"Oh...Well....Pretend your looking at them.
"Ohhh, okay."
"One of us!....One of us!!.... ONE OF US!!"
I like to hear this playing Skyrim, when I'm riding Shadowmere through the night in pursuit of my contract.
Lol I do that too 😂 I wear some black robe though and use vampire drain cuz it looks cool 😂😂
This is the kind of music piece that'll put chills in your spine. The accompaniment of what Ringwraiths look like and what their sinister meaning of life is, adds on to the suspense in this
Imagine those things riding their horses in a charge towards Frodo all by himself, swords drawn, and he is helplessly by himself as this shit is gonna go down
When you realize you have a test the next day and its 5am
Aragorn: NAZGUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Witch king: Woah woah woah man not the N-word, that's wraithist.
Nazgul: what the hell man that's offensive!
Legolas: Aragorn man you going around offending everyone nowadays
Aragon: I meant no disrespect my pointy ear friend
Witch King: DUDE DUDE YOU MADE A WRAITHIST COMMENT TO AN ELF!
00f
Aragorn: OK OK, will just call 'em the Black Riders...
Nazgul,Legolas together: DUDE DAFAQ?!
Gimli: not that wraithist tbh.
Aragorn: thanks, my fellow dwarf!
Gimli: man wtf is wrong with you?!
Gimli: Have you seen two hobbits?
Aragorn: Two halflings, they would look like children to your eyes.
Pippin: Whoa whoa, what the hell man, that was uncalled for.
I can’t get their song out of my head after all these years.
I cry when I listen to this. As I cry when I see Rings of Power. Why do I cry is inverse in each case.
Come here for 4:17?
Best Bit!
4:09
I so want to learn black-speech.
That´s bad because lyrics are in numenorian language. Not black speech
Black Speech is an incomplete language. Tolkien never really finished it. You be better off learning Numenorian or Orc Speech
@@haskapaska called adûnaic.
me too. I feel ad that tolkein could finish Quenya and Sindarin but not the coolest language in middle earth
"Now my Black Speech is a little rusty; actually I don't know much at all, the language is a pain in the ass..."
My cat turned into a fell beast when I played this out loud. Whoops.
Fly you fools!
Zimri Leisher Only with the eagles....
My Labradors a warg someone help?
+Unanimous0001 wrong chronology

smaug definitely, its just hes dead by the time the nazgul come along with the fell beasts. in that situation, fell beasts beat a corpse thats been dead for a few decades, lol

L.O.T.R. is a masterpiece of a book and a film, no questioning that!
Diogo Macena Agreed!!! They’re all good, something funny: I haven’t read all of the books! I mostly know the story from the movies/
video games/other media, lol please don’t hate!!!!!
As long as you stop with the LOTR movies. Screw what they did with the Hobbit.
Sam: I thought we killed them!?
Gollum: Kill? Noooo...no you cannot kill them.
The horses did though.
Khamûl: "Shiii-re... Baaa-giiins..." It's probably my favorite scene of the movies together with when the Nazgûl to Bree and enter their room and mercilessly stab the Hobbits' former beds.
These scenes really reveal how terrifying it is to be hunted by the Ringwraiths. You see how much fear is as much of a weapon to them than their blades. They're some of the most formidable and charismatic villains in the history of litterature and cinema.
The film's didn't get everything right, but the Nazgûl were pretty damn good. You've got to get the right balance between "insubstantial spectres of death" and "arrogant kings dragged into inhuman evil," and I think they mostly nailed it.
It would have been easy to just make them spooky ghosts, like what was done in The Hobbit films, but I think the extra physicality of having human actors really added to the menace.
I remember watching the films as a child, before I'd read the books. I remember not quite being able to tell whether they were human or monstrous at first, until Frodo looks at them while wearing the ring.
@@Ninjat126 I fully agree with you. I much prefer them to be spirits trapped in real armor and wielding real weapons. The menace they project become much more immediate this way. I've always felt that immaterial spirits are too abstract to be really frightening. By having a physical vessel, it makes them more real to me. That and I've always loved black knights in fantasy settings, so the Nazgûl really speak to me in this form.

Man these guys were so intimidating, I thought that they were pretty cool until that one scene outside minas morgul, you are already on edge from Frodo walking onto the bridge and they haunting statues but then the witch king screeches and they go from intimidating and cool to f*cking terrifying that scene will never loose it’s impact. You couldn’t imagine how terrified Sam and Frodo must have been at that moment.
these guys were literally the reapers of death on horses trying to hunt down the hobbits. Such cool and scary and badass characters.
Try playing this in the background while assaulting a fort in Shadow of War after act 3.
I was listening to this while invading a fortress and also wearing the Nazgûl armor so does that count for two points?
3:57 that violin part is so awesome!!!!!
love the use of old Numenorean....
Omg I love this music!!!
To be fair, in the book it was more than 300 Rohirrim. I don't remember the exact number, but I want to say it was around 1000.
"Common" he said
"If it's Gandalf we can surprise him" he said
Fair question. Thought of that myself, but please do notify that even if this song is named after the Ringwraiths, Nazgüls, it doesn't mean that they purely own it.Many songs are named differently from the scenes they are used on.
The moment you find out there are thirteen families who control most of the money ...
..OF THE WORLD.
From the ashes, a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
... the crownless again, shall be *king*
2:34 -- Love that part
THIS IS SO FUCKING AMAZING. Not much gets me to feel that music high other than Kingdom Hearts’s Destati variations and One Winged Angel from FF7.
The ringwraith’s theme GETS ME GOING
""Old fool!" he said. "Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!" And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade."
I love the last 15 seconds the most, so eerie but powerful
1:33 that awesome pursuit scene in horseback
Characters with 0 haters. These look more scarier than Sauron.
I hope the next lotr trilogy will cover the fall of Arnor so we can see what the nazgul were like before they turned into this wretched form.
There is no next LotR trilogy, and never will be.
Holly Short I Think he means the silmarillion
Sean Kavo Hmm, yeah might be so, since there's LotR and now the Hobbit in three parts. And if Jackson directs Silmarillion, I wonder whether it's gonna be a trilogy too.
I think P J should do the fall of Arnor as well... And do like 3 movies of the Witch King taking, Cardolan, Rhudaur and Arthedain with Arthedain having the main big battle like Return of the King and Battle of the Five Armies!
When Arnor fall, the Nine were already Nazgul.
Been listening to this for 10 hours on repeat. Still haven't grown tired of it
**screeches in nazgul**
Our enemies fall, from low and high
To salted earth, through burning sky
And all shall know our Ringwraith's cry
Let Vengeance Ring - and all hope die!
If these guys were in Helms Deep battle, the fight would have ended easier
I did a little research on the topic, and I found that most think the only one capable of standing against the Nazgul is the Elven lord Glorfindel. They point to the fact that Gandalf (the most powerful of the fellowship) is on roughly equal terms with the Witch King of Angmar. Another point was the Nine's "black breath" which would have destroyed any weapon the fellowship used against them, and poisoned the weapon's wielder.
3:53 walking alone at night, with fog around you...damn i need to try it
* casual nazgul riding with their horses eith tbehind
At last a theme for the newspaper I work for....
Anyone notice that the "refrain" sounds vaguely like "...Save us... From Sauron..."?
I know this is a super late reply but they don’t want to be saved, they relish the power he grants them and above all they yearn for more power their greed is what binds them to him
Actually while it was very few men, they had much assistance, which they also cut out of the non-extended edition of the movie. In the books, there are huorns, the ents which have gone treeish. They can move lightning fast, when they do actually move. Gandalf comes with the riders of Rohan scares the Uruk-Hai, most of them are still alive though, they run into what seems to be a regular forest, it's actually the huorns, the Uruk-Hai bodies are never seen again.
The Nazgûl are the most epic fantasy creatures ever created! :D
Sheer terror, no villain has ever been able to match the sheer terror of these boys
lol my cat was on my lap and I couldnt reach the remote, so I played this and he ran away and then I finally took the remote
Music is a powerful force
I just watched this music all played live, all three movies at Lincoln Center. Amaze.
Ima be real I played this song and it started thundering and lightning outside, and I legitamtely thought that it was the song itself from how immersed I was in it.
PURE EPICNESS!!! My God this song gives me the chills!!!
My favorite LOTR song!
" Do you not know death when you see it old man; THIS IS MY POWER!" " You have failed, the world of men will fall"
Shit always gets real @4:09 🗡
In fairness shit got real the second these guys were released.
The beginning song fits perfectly for them
They are pure evil in its finest form
This is the sound of Charlie sheens Doctor coming in to read him his HIV test
+ROBIN WILLIAMS. Life gave him lemons, so he fucked them and gave them lemonaids
He's gonorrheagret that
Love how the last sentence in the descr. is snatched right out of Magpie's Nest.
27 Bree's citizens disliked this!
If you don't look properly, you can count 10 ringwraiths
I see thirteen Nazgul in the picture....
Some of those are just raised hands.
Just count horses
I see 8
I see nine, The nine kings of men, that is who i see...Jacob, Go specsavers
Count the swords, 9 swords. It's easy to be confused because some of the raised arms look like hoods. And some people think it's 8 because one of the nazgul is hidden slightly and you can only see his sword and the top of his hood.
Brilliant, my favourite track of the trilogy.
