I love Terran bio assaults. There's always a couple medics left for dessert. Played a match recently and, I kid you not, one of those medics walked up the ramp at my natural and posted up in front of the extractor. She straight-up got back in the kitchen. I could not stop laughing.
The part at 0:00 - 1:00 has to be the best fucking soundtrack in a video game. I've never played a game in which the music was so fitting. Nothing can describe the race of bloodthirsty, ruthless, savage aliens better than that track. Amazing stuff.
Starcraft 1 was much better at setting the tone of what you were doing. You were literally fighting alone in space for survival of your race. Failure isn't an option.
As someone who's first entry into not just this franchise, but RTS games in general, was StarCraft 2, I find StarCraft 1 to be dated from a gameplay perspective. Don't get me wrong, narratively speaking, SC1 is a far superior story, but between the janky pathfinding abilities of the AI, the fast paced ramping up of the difficulty mission after mission, and the fact that you can only control 12 units at a time, and I cannot get into it. As much as I appreciate the story in a video game, the gameplay has to be paramount, and in my opinion, SC1's gameplay has been superannuated completely by SC2. SC1 is better than SC2 from a narrative standpoint, but that just isn't enough for me.
Hi guys! Gosh the funny things we write when younger! Not quite yet the boss of a large corporation, still in middle management. I will report back in another 9 years! For now I play this in my ear phones when I need to concentrate, or miss the golden age of gaming.
Terran demigod, lore enthusiast, writing and film fan: This music... It's like the most on point solo guitarist and bass player and keyboardist just reading all the emotions of every creature, soldier and dark templar AND all of us growing up with StarCraft, correctly and so on point, wailing away on his instrument, alone, in space. Amazing. So UNDERRATED
To think this masterpiece came out of the 90s, and was probably one of the first games ever to fully utilize the power of proper industrial music. Seriously this piece reminds me of Skinny Puppy's best work.
Blizzard used to be genius. I really miss the old blizzard. I consider myself lucky that I got to play starcraft at the age of six and grow up with it with how games are today anyway.
I still liked it better when the Overmind was in control of the Zerg. Back then they were awesome overwhelming, flesh-tearing world eaters. Now they are just misunderstood creatures that are made out to be the whipping mule of the galaxy. Now I have to find a new favorite "great devourer".
Theodore Hodbor From the StarCraft 1 manual... *"The Overmind, while slowly expanding itself into the void of space, became aware of the mighty Xel’Naga world-ships hovering ominously above the skies of Zerus. The Xel’Naga, having kept a constant watch on the Overmind, were horrified to find that it had actually severed their psychic link, effectively hiding itself from their view. With its need to consume driving its minions into a lustful frenzy, the Overmind launched the now space-faring Zerg swarms at the unsuspecting Xel’Naga. The ancient race did what they could to stem the tide of the ever advancing Zerg onslaught, but in the end their efforts were in vain. Wave after wave of Zerg swarms hammered the reinforced hulls of the Xel’Naga’s ships with no signs of abatement. Within only a few hours the Zerg overran the defenses of their creators and laid waste to the Xel’Naga fleet."* This little paragraph shows just how badass the Overmind of SC1 was. The very first thing it did after gaining conciousness and self-awareness was destroy its own creators. The first Zerg rush in history.
Felamine Yeah it was awesome then, but then in Starcraft 2 it was "revealed" that it did all of this because it was corrupted by Amon, and that the Zerg didn't really want to do that.
The forced societal change and loss of Aiur may have been sad for the protoss, as signified by the Brood War exclusive track, but there's no underestimating how sad it realistically was for the zerg to lose the overmind and go feral which the exclusive track in the first half of this exhibits.
In my younghood, this theme make me so excited. I remember the pituitary gland scan in the Zerg character selection that was an Hydralisk. And by reading some books of Starcraft and Biology science, I understood that my excitment with this game and it's music was similar to the zerg Hydralisk excitment in battle. It is told that the zergs excitement in battle is just orgasmic haha! They are bloodthirsty and that makes them so happy :)
I still remember when I first try sc1 at 9 yr old, I didn't even know English language and as I saw the campaign selection I didn't hesitate at all to click on the hydralisk which was badass asf! The music and overminds voice was SHOCKING! It has been echoing in my head for years! I still use SC1 soundtrack when playing sc2 and I love the zerg 1 music in the HotS zerg map!
This seems needless to state due to its sheer greatness, but I love the melody from 7:05 - 8:37; the keyboard, guitar, and bass melodies complement each other perfectly, and most specifically the keyboard melody is so simple and yet creates such an eerie tension.
5:47 - 7:00 This part is very creepy, just imagine yourself as a marine out in the battlefield at night, feeling all alone, and any zerg can jump at you at any time...
You get exactly 2 seconds of warning before their on you Reason: them bursting from the ground, then they are all over you in 2 seconds from the dirt flying up
All i can see when hearing this part is inside any zerg structure or an infested command center while all the lights black out and im all alone trying to find a way to get the fuck out
First Zerg expantion mission sound recordings in the portuguese Brood War version, wich where in english aniway. I was quite mesmirised trying to find whose was that serpent-like voice, specially since the overmind was already dead
The first minute captured the essence of industrial rock, albeit very dark and heavily influenced by other genres, better than any industrial rock band ever did.
tiniracoon That was my favorite part when I was a kid. Fuck yeah. I always imagined Kerrigan becoming infested Kerrigan or just Zerg Evolution like spinning the sequences.
Imagine a Zerg trying to hold a glass of water. Then start listening to this music, 7:05 onwards, and at the same time, imagine the zerg thinking "NEED THUMBS!". It starts to pustulate and morph, and after a minute or two, says to itself "EVOLUTION COMPLETE", while drinking a refreshing glass of water with the newformed thumbs on its pseudo-arms.
Sven Enzo ill have too look that one up again but I know the broodwar final zerg mission was very hard, the terran one where you have to capture the overmind wasnt as hard.
Peter Van well the broodwar one is by far the hardest SC mission, Omega is hard to beat if you don't know how to manage the early harass form the enemies XD.
First time I played as Zerg, I loved it. I've always been a beast Terran player, but Zerg has always been my favorite. This music is one of the reasons. BREAK IT DOWN, DAGOTH!
The beginning and the part from 5:00 is probably one of the best parts in SC music. And the great thing about them is they last so little, so you can't get tired from them. Although i would make them longer, i would do whole song out of the 5 minute part. So fucking EPIC i just can't stand it.
I love the heroic sound of the melody at 4:55. It suggests that the Zerg are a more sympathetic and neutral race than you might think, simply fighting for survival. Hearing my units die to the that music made a big impression on little me.
As I listen to this I kinda feel like it follows a story. Act 1 The birth and rule of the OverMind 0:00 Act 2 The war with the Terrans 3:15 Act 3 The war with the Protoss 3:53 Act 4 Kerrigan's slow but steady take over of the Zerg 7:00
The music in 1 fit better with the game, now only the zerg ST fit in 2. Theres now an option to play SC1 music in 2, so yeah I think 1's music was better, but you are certainly entitled to your own opinion and i can respect that even if i dont agree with you.
***** I disagree, but i respect your opinion. Personally I love it for both nostalgia and knowing it was the most advanced music they had back then. I would rather have them make music simillar to the SC1 soundtrack, but they do have to keep with the times.
***** No. SC2's music just isn't as good as SC1's to me and it has nothing to do with nostalgia. For example, I played Diablo 1 for the first time about 3 years ago. I was 20+ at the time, so I had played a lot of games, and yet D1 has one of the best soundtracks for a game I've seen. I'm not really into technical stuff for music, but what I can say is that the vast majority of triple A titles these days have absolute crap music, including Blizzard titles, because they go for this "hollywood" experience. The music usually end up having no soul and feeling "fake", possibly because it goes through the hands of dozens of people and end up losing its purpose and conveying no emotion. The composers also tend to be super conservative and the music usually end up all sounding the same. Indie games usually have far better music, maybe because they have smaller teams or because they are more daring? See Transistor, Bastion, The Swapper... etc.
Starcraft 1 Zerg: Terrifying alien creatures, The Overmind, Cerebrates Starcraft 2 Zerg: Colorful dinosaurs,, An "alien" in high heels, Queens with boobs
I loved Starcraft 2, but retconning the Zerg race in SC1 to "oh they were unwitting slaves the whole time" was fucking stupid. The Zerg in SC1 had a very strong identity and it was NOT that. They were primal, instinctive, not needing to think because all of them shared a hive mind and that mind was unflinching, perfect. All 3 Zerg soundtracks understood that but especially this one.
First Time I was ever stoned on weed I was watching my friend fight my brother as the zerg and it was a trip man. Then I'd play stoned as zerg and really be in the damn game.
and the storyline was way more unpredictable and dark. people would betray others just out of nowhere, there was a greater feeling of striving for something, and the the endings of the campaign episodes were quite uncertain (e.g. you destroy the overmind, but is everyone safe? kerrigan just annihilates anything in her path, but did she gain total dominance over everything?, etc.), while the sc2 campaigns were pretty straightforward in the way you did things. everything you see is quite expected beforehand as it is foreshadowed or simply told by the characters.
braxium Actually, you could see Kerrigan's betrayal of Raynor, Fenix and Mengsk coming a mile way. She wanted to get even with Mengsk for pretty much feeding her to the Zerg on Tarsonis and putting her through hell while she killed Fenix to spite the late Tassadar because Fenix was his best friend and because she saw him as a threat. Mengsk deserved to be doublecrossed for what he did on Tarsonis so my only complaint is that she didn't finish the job right then and there. If she had left Raynor and Fenix alone, I'd have lauded her as a hero right then and there. I'll admit though that I hadn't expected Kerrigan to have mind controlled the Matriarch even BEFORE the Protoss survivors of Aiur along with Zeratul made it to Shakuras, that was a BIG surprise for me.
braxium Because fuck Artanis and Zeratul, they didn't believe what Aldaris has said to them at the end of "The Insurgent" mission. Before Aldaris could say to them what happened to Raszagal (the Matriarch), he was instantly killed by Kerrigan. And yeah, I agree BW has the darkest storyline. Betrayal and deception everywhere.
jacko crave To be fair, Aldaris had helped the Conclave nearly get the entire Protoss race assimilated into the Zerg Swarm with their foolish hatred of the Dark Templar who were the only ones who could kill the Overmind and its Cerebrates plus their dumb pride resulted in Aiur falling to the Zerg so I can see why they'd be reluctant to listen to Aldaris when he's telling them something that goes against what they believe to be true.
+Brett Davis It's not really what makes them less scary, if, by say, they were to be in reality, sure, we know far and wide of them, but seeing one infront is terrifying enough, especially one that's nearly 20+ stories taller than you, stronger than you, faster than you, and sense you. It may be off topic, but I don't find anything 'Esoteric' about it, if you can abbreviate further for me to understand. | +a zergling, well, I kind of think you, in my opinion like the old skins of the Zerg than the SC2 skins, which is fine. their still alien eitherway from the alternate versions, but I quite find the SC2 skins adequate for the WoL and the other expansions up.
In Omega, 24 Guardian/12 Devourer/36 Hydras/12 Ultras/12 Overlord and much lings in my hotkeys '-' Gerard's, Menghsk's and Artanis's bases are vaporazed kkk
I always link beginning (first part of the song) with Kerrigan's betrayal on Korhal, where she fully of her own will crossed the line and became irredeemable monster. Granted, they knew it was coming but probably not so fast. Also, death of Fenix and Raynor's despair.

The zerg soundtrack is fucking filthy. The music director for Starcraft is an absolute genius.
Love the sound of a dental drill occasionally revving up in the background. Just adds to the creepy and uncanny factor.
@@lorencproductions The Zerg are very well-known throughout the galaxy for their dentistry.
@@gregholman2431 They just want to give everyone in the galaxy top-quality dental care

Nice insight!

To think this masterpiece came out of the 90s, and was probably one of the first games ever to fully utilize the power of proper industrial music. Seriously this piece reminds me of Skinny Puppy's best work.
Industrial rock is Command and conquer stuff - Try the Tiberian dawn soundtrack, its awesome. Tiberian sun also had a great soundtrack.
NIN's Quake 1 soundtrack is the OG
Blizzard used to be genius. I really miss the old blizzard. I consider myself lucky that I got to play starcraft at the age of six and grow up with it with how games are today anyway.
7:00 just the perfect sinister sound of the zerg
Actually Travis Linton mentiond it 🙂

How do you express an alien race that is set on killing every other living things? WITH A HARDCORE HEAVY METAL
The rhytmic brooding sequence that starts at 04:30 is one of the best atmospheric music pieces in any game

Imagine a Zerg trying to hold a glass of water. Then start listening to this music, 7:05 onwards, and at the same time, imagine the zerg thinking "NEED THUMBS!". It starts to pustulate and morph, and after a minute or two, says to itself "EVOLUTION COMPLETE", while drinking a refreshing glass of water with the newformed thumbs on its pseudo-arms.
The Opening 1:00 of this song is solidified in my mind. Love the crunch guitar and bends on the guitar. That's what a zerg BGM should be like
7:05 onwards, I can't believe no one in the comments mentions this part!!
Fight Club used hat part of this song in the movie.
This is my favourite part and I find it the most fitting cause it's creepy.
That is some disturbig sh.t! Man I`ve played maby 2h in SC but the music is so great I`ve got like 2000h of listenig it.

Thank you, Glenn Stafford for making goosebumps since 1998!

Yea Derek Duke was actually the one to compose the Zerg music, rest was by Glenn.
I never realized how amazing and prefect this song is for a theme of insectoid aliens.

Act 2 The war with the Terrans 3:15
Act 3 The war with the Protoss 3:53
Act 4 Kerrigan's slow but steady take over of the Zerg 7:00
Eh, to be honest, 0:00 is the Brood War theme, so chronologically it doesn't play until after the Overmind's death.
I still remember playing this and getting goosebumps just listening to this coming while your making your base
This is some real Starcraft music here rather than from 2
Gonna be real hard to top it.

The more I listen to that part, the more I'm scared of the Zergs...
5:58 to 6:46 , love the eerie alien whispers in the background
Starcraft 1 Zerg: Terrifying alien creatures, The Overmind, Cerebrates
Starcraft 2 Zerg: Colorful dinosaurs,, An "alien" in high heels, Queens with boobs
i read they removed the cerebrates because games gamesworkshop told them to do so
SC1 Protoss Zealots : tough guys, fighting zerg in melee combat. SC2 Zealots - clowns with coloured hair
I mean I wouldn't mind some alien queens with BOOBS

can confirm, have become all that I hate 😐
EVOLUTION COMPLETE!
When i heard this in Heroes of the Storm on the Dehaka login screen, i was like "YEAH! They didnt forget about this badassery!"
that dentist sound at the beginning always gave me chills
My father plays a lot when I was a kid more than 20 years ago now, I never play starcraft to much but the sountracks reminds me him a lot.
that's cute!
Is he alive?
@@architech007 pass away 12 years ago, still was his favorite game at these days but never play the second because our computer was old
@@reneberron84 may heavens guide his soul to paradise ... remember him bro. Remember the good old days and Starcraft
4:55 - 5:15.
Best part.
That's like the Kerrigan's rebirth.
too bad her story was garbage
Like your entire life, what a coincidence.
@@_sumka fuck you weeb
I loved Starcraft 2, but retconning the Zerg race in SC1 to "oh they were unwitting slaves the whole time" was fucking stupid. The Zerg in SC1 had a very strong identity and it was NOT that. They were primal, instinctive, not needing to think because all of them shared a hive mind and that mind was unflinching, perfect. All 3 Zerg soundtracks understood that but especially this one.
Jesus, this is so spot on.
0:00 gives me goosebumps
7:00 This is the representation of Zerg evilness
First Time I was ever stoned on weed I was watching my friend fight my brother as the zerg and it was a trip man. Then I'd play stoned as zerg and really be in the damn game.
I miss brood war it seemed darker than all the sc especially the Zerg campaign
and the storyline was way more unpredictable and dark. people would betray others just out of nowhere, there was a greater feeling of striving for something, and the the endings of the campaign episodes were quite uncertain (e.g. you destroy the overmind, but is everyone safe? kerrigan just annihilates anything in her path, but did she gain total dominance over everything?, etc.), while the sc2 campaigns were pretty straightforward in the way you did things. everything you see is quite expected beforehand as it is foreshadowed or simply told by the characters.
braxium Actually, you could see Kerrigan's betrayal of Raynor, Fenix and Mengsk coming a mile way. She wanted to get even with Mengsk for pretty much feeding her to the Zerg on Tarsonis and putting her through hell while she killed Fenix to spite the late Tassadar because Fenix was his best friend and because she saw him as a threat. Mengsk deserved to be doublecrossed for what he did on Tarsonis so my only complaint is that she didn't finish the job right then and there. If she had left Raynor and Fenix alone, I'd have lauded her as a hero right then and there.
I'll admit though that I hadn't expected Kerrigan to have mind controlled the Matriarch even BEFORE the Protoss survivors of Aiur along with Zeratul made it to Shakuras, that was a BIG surprise for me.
The matriarch part was very unexpected indeed
braxium Because fuck Artanis and Zeratul, they didn't believe what Aldaris has said to them at the end of "The Insurgent" mission. Before Aldaris could say to them what happened to Raszagal (the Matriarch), he was instantly killed by Kerrigan. And yeah, I agree BW has the darkest storyline. Betrayal and deception everywhere.
jacko crave To be fair, Aldaris had helped the Conclave nearly get the entire Protoss race assimilated into the Zerg Swarm with their foolish hatred of the Dark Templar who were the only ones who could kill the Overmind and its Cerebrates plus their dumb pride resulted in Aiur falling to the Zerg so I can see why they'd be reluctant to listen to Aldaris when he's telling them something that goes against what they believe to be true.
the very beginning of the first theme reminds me of scorching desert heat. love it.
03:26 guitar screaming like a zergling 💚🖤
The sound of that dentist drill in the beginning still makes my teeth hurt. Nice touch director.
Why was the music so much better in SC1? Like, no nostalgia required.
+vash1053 That, and the art style. So dark and foreboding. Zerg aren't very scary in SC2 =(
Yeah the grimdark is all missing from SC2.
+Russell Collett i think its cause they were more alien in the first one in SC2 they tried to hard to make the zerg like bugs
a zergling Yah they were a little too "knowable" in SC2, which made them less esoteric and, by extension, less scary.
+Brett Davis It's not really what makes them less scary, if, by say, they were to be in reality, sure, we know far and wide of them, but seeing one infront is terrifying enough, especially one that's nearly 20+ stories taller than you, stronger than you, faster than you, and sense you. It may be off topic, but I don't find anything 'Esoteric' about it, if you can abbreviate further for me to understand. | +a zergling, well, I kind of think you, in my opinion like the old skins of the Zerg than the SC2 skins, which is fine. their still alien eitherway from the alternate versions, but I quite find the SC2 skins adequate for the WoL and the other expansions up.
SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS !!!! .....WE REQUIERE MORE MINERALS ......WE REQUIERE MORE VESPENE GAS ..... 3:55 FOR THE SWARM !
지금들어도 명곡 저그의 처절하면서 공포스러움을 정말 잘살렸음
I don't think even Ozzy could've thought of a melody this sinister and dark.
I just reinstalled HOTS and this song was played in the title screen. The feels
I love that they let you pick the soundtrack now, old or new.
The one and only video game race that I have ever used unfairly... man I love zerglings...
HYDRAS HYDRAS HYDRAS HYDRAS HYDRAS HYDRAS HYDRAS
MUTAS LINGS MUTAS LINGS MUTA LINGS
defiler
toasted guy This is my tactic in game lel.And i wins sometimes :U
HYDRA + DOGE = so many zerg rush. wow.
J. O. yea defilers are annoying and so are queens... thats why I just send my battle cruisers against them
In Omega, 24 Guardian/12 Devourer/36 Hydras/12 Ultras/12 Overlord and much lings in my hotkeys '-' Gerard's, Menghsk's and Artanis's bases are vaporazed kkk
Infested Terran Marine: "Live for the Swarm!"
I love that they actually put the sound of a dental drill into the song.
That intro really makes me want to spawn more overlords.
sick.
For the Overmind.
Live for the swarm!
I always link beginning (first part of the song) with Kerrigan's betrayal on Korhal, where she fully of her own will crossed the line and became irredeemable monster. Granted, they knew it was coming but probably not so fast. Also, death of Fenix and Raynor's despair.
Larva crawls in my head when I hear this song
Evolution Complete!!!
Back when the Zergs were an actual threat to the fucking universe. Not a love story.
Just as infested kerrigun command " Let's roll corps!!!! "
Best zerg theme EVER
This is missing the peaceful clack clack clack of drones harvesting minerals
I wish SC2 was dark like this game :(.
same :(
