Since I played this game, that first chord haunted me in the coolest way. Hearing that steel string with the stereo delay from the original just cuts right through you and it was something I always wanted to play. This is one of the few covers that I have attempted before and failed because of it's free feel over the course of all 8 minutes. It tells a story, and until now I feel I was unable to properly convey that in my playing. I don't think there are any covers that do the entire song so I'm really proud to say if that's true that I have the only full cover of Tristram Village on UA-cam as of releasing this. Because this song has so much meaning to me, I wanted to make sure if I was going to do it, I was going to do the entire thing.
Many of my covers are challenges, but this one was a colossal challenge and I'm very proud of how it turned out. I was able to stay true to the original at most parts and develop on the intensity with the overdriven guitars and I think it makes for a different feel than the original rather than trying to be bigger or better. The original is one of the most iconic songs in video game history so if you haven't heard it or played Diablo, please check it out.
I hope you enjoy it!

Honestly the best version I found, other ones go so heavy metal styled, this one respect the essence of the original one
+1
this cover stands on it's own. seriously impressive from him on a lot of levels
I completely agree. I'm a bit bored of the typical metal covers where it's basically just the original melody + power chords, they all sound so similar. This is quite unique!
The best cover !! this version with the ocarina, is way more better !! Amazing work!! bravo!
Totally agree 👍🏼
"Stay awhile and listen" indeed
I'll stay about 7 minutes and 55 seconds
Scrolled down to find this comment. Was not disappointed.
I gave up the 'like' for that alone.
Yet
Tristram will always be one of my very favorite pieces of music from any game, and this cover is just *chiefs' kiss*
Chef's don't kiss the food they make, that's unhygienic.
@@cristhianmlrthat must be why he said CHIEF’S kiss
I sense a soul in search of answers
I stayed a while and listened.
It was good.
I don't know you guys but I love you right now😢
Oh man... It's funny how that first chord instantly made me feel 11 again. Haven't heard the original in probably 15+ years but I think you nailed it
too bad they weren't around to record the soundtrack for blizzard in the first place! love the orignal but the depth in this one.. man..
check out the diablo 2 speedrunners imo. It gets crazy. MrLlamasc does "man vs stream" runs and it is like a gameshow where people donate money so he can eat shit with random handycaps.
Yeeeeees
Who's here on the hype train after the Diablo 2 resurrected announcement?
The fact that you used an ocarina along with the guitar was absolutely brilliant. And you have a gorgeous sounding guitar. You could almost say you've made a completely original piece of music with this, I wouldn't even call this a cover, this is truly magnificent. I would pay money for this track in a heartbeat. I'm 32 I was in the 6th grade when Diablo was released for the PC on Windows 95. I'll never forget the first time I saw the trailer for this game when I was playing my Warcraft 2 battle chest, the trailer for the first Diablo was included in it. Needless to say it was revolutionary in the first-of-its-kind that game is a benchmark in PC gaming history it's because of that game that we have so many others. Diablo deserves its place in the video game Hall of Fame. I'll never forget the other dread and anxiety I felt playing this game as a child as I went deeper and deeper into this abyss of horror and Madness. The only reprieve was hitting the town portal back to the demonically oppressed town of Tristram where you kid enjoy the soothing and comforting stories of Deckard Cain change your gear buy items delve deeper into the lure of the game get to know your characters it was the only place you could go to get some modicum of peace before bracing yourself as you plunged back into the darkness to the howling demonic hordes waiting overwhelm, overpower and Crush you leaving you in howling rage knowing that your body and all of your loot was 20 levels beneath the cursed ground and now you must trek all the way back to find it again. How many people remember the anxiety and shock the first time they entered the butcher's chamber to the words are fresh meat and a massive demon twice as tall as you rushing out of the darkness and relentlessly pursuing and hacking at you with his cleaver? This game is a mixture of excitement tactics and endless levels of frustration and rage but ultimate satisfaction when you finally descended to the bottom floor of that nightmarish Abyss with miles of the slain Corpses of your defeated foes above and the Blood Sweat and Tears it took to get there and now the only thing between you and victory is the Lord Of Terror himself Diablo! That victory shout when you landed that final blow and the ultimate satisfaction that you had completed one of the most rewarding quests of your life and just as you turn the game off to celebrate you were left with the growing feeling in the back of your mind that you had brought back something dark within you from that unhallowed ground which begin calling you to an unknown place for an unknown purpose with nothing else except the uncontrollable desire to travel to the East....
Oh man I had a wc2 battle chest lol. I played diablo 1 starcraft 1. I was like a sophomore in high school. Such magical times.
My Lord, what a masterpiece! Since 1996, this music always gives me chills!
Need to acknowledge Matt Uelmen for composing the most fitting atmospheric score for Diablo an amazing composer and guitarist.
Absolute chills, you brought everything you had to this one and it shows. So glad you could be happy releasing it now.
It's amazing how this song is still being covered in 2018. It just means it's one of those epics that will stick in the minds of the souls that endured the awakening of the Lord of Terror!
basically an opeth song
(and by that I mean an older one (which is a good thing))
what is opeth
Something pretty awesome :)
I did not know Opeth, but I lisened The Drapery Falls and yes... wery Diablish ;) (Diablo 1996, The Drapery Falls 2001)
Arguably one of the best pieces of videogame music masterfully re-done. Thank you for this!
Chilling, it really captures the dark vibe from the Diablo games.
TheAntagonistHero that's right
Stay awhile and listen! It inspires me to also make a metal version :)
Man your accoustic version is briliant as it is =)
Hello, my friend! =^_^=
Jonas, your version is perfection.
I stayed a while and listened.. Cover was great :D. I wish i could play the ocarina. It sound so magical
Go buy one. Good quality Ocarinas are super cheap.
The crispness of this song always reminds a legend to be one.... Don't give up or stop.... If you have to smash your way through hell so fucking be it let your first step turn into a leap of faith into life. Ocarina work was the cherry on the cupcake here dude. Amazing cover.
Thank you. Needed to hear that today 🙏

Coming back to this comment. I was going through the worst period of my life possible. I'm so thankful to come back and see this. I'm doing so much better. Keep on truckin' .

The best version i have ever hear of this diablo song 😍 Greetings from Hans of the Dutch Lowlands NL 😷
This is pure nostalgia gold. Still one of the best songs, not only in gaming, but ever. This theme alone has so much power, and defines the entire atmosphere of the game. Seriously, I remember hearing this the first time as a kid, and having no idea how the game played, only that was scary, as noted by my friends. So I was really expecting to be attacked by demons in the middle of the town.
"Woah! What can I do for ya?"
As someone who has spent countless hours playing this game as a kid, Tristram village was a tune you heard in your sleep as a comforting yet haunting tune. It's been years since I felt this way when hearing the tune. Thank you Jules, for bringing me back to NOT only the nostalgia for this game, but for some of the goosebumps this game and this tune specifically gave to me. Please don't stop with some these classic tunes.
this is still the best cover to tristram, and continues to be such a nostalgia trip. what a love letter
Oh my god, fuck yes! This is the coolest thing since Corridor of Time!
This is the best Tristram cover i have heard since the one from Artificial Fear.
Yup. Those will be goosebumps all over. Man, I know you put out a lot of quality content, but this is one of those videos of yours where you can tell it's something really SPECIAL, something where you really gave it all you got, and it shows. Seriously, that was AMAZING. It's just mind-boggling how well you put everything together here, and how much attention to detail you put into it as well. Even the video editing is amazing. Well done sir, my hat's off to you (bought it on Google Play as well).
Simply beautiful, man. I have no experience with the Diablo soundtrack, but I can tell how much love you love this track. You gave everything you had, and it paid off in spades.
Yeeeeeeeeessssssssss! After a long day of teaching spoiled rich kids in a foreign country I needed to stay awhile and listen to this.
Alucard How's Dracula?
Oh you know, what is a man this, miserable pile of secrets that; trying to kill everyone in Wallachia. Just good 'ol dad.
Alucard Same with liquid always IT'S BEEN A WHILE BROTHER trying to be better than me and kill me
Solid Snake How about Big Boss? I've heard he's still about, somehow.
Alucard yeah still loves that dog
I've stayed a while and listened.
An hour is a while, right?
You have grown so much over the years, from the young man in his bedroom thrashing to Zelda songs, to a full fledged professional with quality covers that will definitely stand the test of time.
It's been a pleasure watching you grow and improve over the years. Thank you for the hours and hour of entertainment and top-quality music. :)
I was so upset to listen and realise how much better this is then my metal version!!!!
Holy shit that was beautiful
Thank you
war flashbacks to ps1 diablo days and trauma from the first boss - the butcher
"AAARRHGHH FRESH MEAT!"
Then you get his cleaver, and it's meh...
head phones are required for the full effect and highly recommended. Good head phones, preferably.
arcangelgabrel ones that can handle high volumes, I assume?
True Story
The man ain't lying.
Or a valid sound system, not trash cans from bestbuy.
So spicyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Original was on a 12-string acoustic, but you still captured the spirit of it nicely with that 6-string acoustic somehow ;)
Офигенный реворк классики. По ходу даже сами Близзы не думали что этот саундтрек войдет в бессмертную классику.

Just as lovely as the breakdown from 8 bit music theory.
*hits sub*
When I can't sleep at night, I pull this up, and it cures my insomnia every time. Thank you.
I start this song in my brain every time I go to sleep. For five years at least. I sleep like a baby.
@@z4p0tekjaja
This shows a cover with real respect for the original with really cool new sounds and a tastefull heavy metal kick. I salute you, sir
Goosebumps at 6:20 ish. Really underscores what brilliant a piece of music the original is. This clip is Designer approved ✅
I always imagined this amazing tune was played by a bard in a tavern, as he told the tale of Diablo to a hazy room full of half-drunk miscreants.
And people think Diablo 3 is anywhere as good as 1 or 2. Blizzard just doesn't deliver the kind of impact they used to back in the days of WC2, D1/2, SC.
D1/WC2's OST was Blizzards pinnacle.
Honestly, Blizzards is always at its pinnacle. From the very first of their game to their very last, not that I played every last of them, but we all can see the amount of effort and detail they put into their every game. The entertainment they brought to us rarely fails us. Indeed their games don't deliver as much impact they used to do... but so does most game nowadays, it is the changes in the world, the changes of the people that caused us to feel less impact from a game.
Still, W3 and WoW's OST is best for me.
IMO the pinnacle was at SC and D2, but it's, like, your opinion man
I know your pain. Before it was small teams because thats all the talent they could find. Now it's just a bunch of small teams shitting out whatever they can to stay relevant. Hearthstone, Overwatch, Diablo 3, all garbage.
HotS is pretty awesome though, giving retired characters a chance to continue.
Starcraft 1 is the best OST everr. Terran soundtracks are just mindblowing
So true
Big, Big cleaver killing all my friends. Couldn't stop him, had to run away, couldn't save them. Trapped in a room with so many bodies. So many friends. Nooooooooo!
You've transcended the term "cover" quite a while ago, Jules. These are masterpieces :)
Best videogame musik probably in the top 3 of best pices/songs ive ever heard and I have listened and played a shit ton of music top 3 because this version improves the original but still captures the essence would have been in this top 10 without this modern version.
When I die I want to have this played on my funeral.
This brought back all the good memories of my 2 brothers and I going deeper into the rabbit hole with the terrifying yet beautiful music as you slay your way to better riches and gear just to face the devil and his brother himself!
(5:40 min) My favorite Outtaked Part of the whole Song. :-)
I heard "Greeting!" in my head...
Elvis I was thinking that too!!
Elvis I heard that, but also I heard Griswold's "What can I do for ya?".
My brain went for a "Stay a while and listen" haha
"I Sense a soul in search of answers"
"stay awhile, and listen"
*I DONT have a SPELL READY*
*_AHHHGHH, TOO MANY POTIONS_*
"Stay a while and listen"
And I shall, this is one of my favourite game songs of all time and my god did you do it justice.
That was awesome, as soon as it hits itunes I'm gonna go and grab it.
Absolute legend.
Obsidian Sword of the Zodiac - one of the most powerful magic item from Griswold xD
"You have quite a treasure there in that Horadric Cube. According to the Horadric lore, the Cube can restore a Horadric Staff.
To do it - use the Cube as you would a scroll. When the Cube opens, place both pieces of the Staff into it and use the Cube's transmute power. You'll be pleased to know that the Cube has other alchemical uses as well...
Six gems plus one sword transmute into a socketed long sword. You may also transmute two quivers of crossbow bolts into one quiver of arrows, while two quivers of arrows yield one quiver of bolts. I must leave it to you to discover other formulae."
This is fucking awesome. Thank fuck for the internet and thank fuck for you. This is just made my day man!
Awesome cover!
if you like this kind of music, you could try:
Death - Voice of the Soul
The 3rd and the Mortal - Death Hymn
Opeth - Harvest (or all the Blackwater Park album)
Holy crap. This just knocked my socks off. Outstanding performance.
Jules, this is amazing. I was stoked to see you post this, but it came out even better than I expected. As a fan of the Diablo franchise since I was a kid, this is such a sick take on Tristram. Deckard would be proud 👌
Had to give this another listen while playing D2R. Good stuff.
Rember casting spells in tristram the mc would say "i cannot cast that here" id walk around and tap it with the song playing lol.
The best diablo cover all the times!
ok dude, bowser's castle brought me here... and like 3 song laters i come to one of the most iconic songs of my childhood... you just got yourself a new subscriber. so epic man
I especially love how you've done the outro of the song. It's like a melodic interlude out of the song and in to the next..
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY
PLS
It wasn't when I commented, please don't think I'm crazy T^T
@@fitzzz2429 No, thank you for mentioning it. I didn't know it had become available on spotify
if Diablo is ever made into an animated series, or any series of some sort, THIS better be the intro song they use for it, holy shit
Not minding being busy, have you ever thought of any Transistor cover/medley?
Bastion would be nice too :D
Ruboka Bastion would be amazing. I always wanted to see some of its tracks performed live
O.M.G I couldn't believe my ears! So cool Diablo music. Love it!
Omg Dude... TABS PLEASE!!! 🤘🤘🤘
this cover is a fucking journey, man. incredible
Most epic Tristram cover on all of UA-cam.
Watching this in 2019 just before the Diablo4 announcement. Hope this masterpiece is in. Excellent work !!
Shivers on the very first note. This is one of my dearest video game song ever and your cover is exactly what I wanted. It. is. perfect. I'll stay awhile for sure. What a way to end year 4!
I can see what you see not-Vision milky, then eyes rot.When you turn, they will be gone,Whispering their hidden song.Then you see what cannot be-Shadows move where light should be.Out of darkness, out of mind,Cast down into the Halls of the Blind.
This is so freaking awesome!
Childhood intensifies... why I found this so late?
Holy crap man, this is by far my fav cover of yours now... you blew this outta the water and then some!!! 🤘
Thanks to you, I now know what its like to feel like I'm summoning the dark lord while doing my dishes. You really nailed the spaciousness and the ambiance. The quality of your work is noticeably absent in a lot of other video game music channels, please keep it up.
Dude this is amazing man! Not too heavy on the metal parts and it all flows together like running water, absolutely beautiful man
Holy shit, you really outdid yourself this time. This is absolutely incredible.
The amount of hard work and passion you put into this cover can be sensed through your playing. Sent chills down my spine at how great it sounds. Hats off to you, for pulling off this amazing cover!
NICE! Shit always gets real at 3:20 on this song, lol.
Jules these acoustic additions to your channel are awesome. Definitely brought some new life to your channel that it was losing. I remember one of the big things you mentioned when we talked was that you cared about listening your viewers. I think you nailed it. Keep it up. I love seeing what you come up with.
Great. My lovely song.
But hard rock guitar screw music when started, sorry :) This Matt Uelmann masterpiece sound great when played on original instrumental version. Original version from diablo probably not good recorded, your much better. I hope you have instrumental version without electric guitar :)
"I sense a soul in search of answers"
How have I not seen this!? I’m subscribed and literally look up Tristram every time I’m sitting around a bonfire by myself. This version is fire 🔥
About to play some diablo 2
i just started playing d2 b.net again 2 weeks ago.. after.. i dont know.. 8 years+
found a Sur rune on one of my first countess runs :)
WTFidontcare89 I have it on ps2
Like returning to Tristram. With anger. And guns.
I stayed a while and listened. This is awesome.
Instant subscribe, good chops, mate
Absolutely amazing.
This guy really understands music and how to keep the feel of the original song while still upgrading it.
“Upgrading it”? Are you retarded? It’s called an “arrangement”. This arrangement isn’t mind blowing, but it is decently executed.
6:55 Awesome use of the Ocarina to play the Tristram theme.
This reminds me a bit of Opeth.
Eyyy, I hear it now
My thoughts exactly. I want Heir Apparent to start after it :D
Yeah definitely!
try Artificial Fear's cover. You'll really hear the Opeth there.
Diablopeth
That was one of the most incredible covers I have ever listened to... amazing! I truly felt as though the song was telling me a story--haunting, but calm, cinematic, and free. While listening to the song, (and even though I know little to nothing about music) I could imagine that it took an incredible amount of work
Stellar job dude.
"I've shown all the instruments I play in my videos before. I'm not comfortable playing cello. Maybe I'll cover this amazing song sometime" Rips this amazing thing out a week later.
You've got some...Jules.
In my opinion one of the most under rated game themes of all time. You just can´t beat the atmosphere the first Diablo had. Best in the series in my opinion.
I dunno, I feel like it is universally praised and admired. Not under rated at all.
@@Spongemonkey26 I hear that when people talk about Diablo they mean 2 . I have friends that played 2 first and when I told them to try the first one they did not like it. Its slower yeah and 2 may have better and faster gameplay but 2 is more about this min maxin where you have to plan ahead which skills to take etc. Atleast it was before you could skillreset.
@@ezkimus6104 both great games, Diablo 2 is better imo like the majority of people would probably say.
I was referring to the Tristram theme though. I don't feel it's undervalued or under rated at all due to the heaps of praise it always gets, and deservedly so. It's too bad Matt Uelmen no longer works for Blizzard.
@@Spongemonkey26 Yeah I still prefer the first. Maybe cause its easier to pick up you can complete a run pretty fast and you begin the game everytime for this theme :) I played lots of D2 also but I always give up cause its goes on so long... I have completed the vanilla once and with expansion like twice still... But yeah about the music its pretty iconic.
SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to hear this at a live event lying down for a while to listen.
