There once was a tale, of a land shrouded in mists and horrors beyond belief. A tale of a man who destroyed his family, his country, and himself in a one-sided, selfish bid for love. If the tales are true, it damned him to his own personal hell where he was forced to live out a constant cycle of futility. As if to mock him, this prison gave him everything he ever wished for, an entire kingdom of his own, wealth of every kind, and immortality. Everything that is, except the love he sacrificed everything for. That was always just out of his reach, luring him on and on like a moth following a distant flame.
He grew bitter, he began to toy with others who had the misfortune of being drawn into his realm. Constantly searching for someone who could match him, take his throne, fill the empty void of that lost love, but all failed. The cycle continued. On and on and on again.
But... It's just a tale.
...Isn't it?
Woah what?! Is this happening?! Am I dreaming?!
Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
I am going absolutely bonkers over this. Praying for a Van Richten, Brides, or Rahadin theme. We’re starting a new Strahd game so this is perfect.
Absolutely, Rahadin needs his own theme!! I’m a player in the campaign, so no spoilers please, but Rahadin scares the life outa me for real, he’s just so ominous!
Oh, YES! And Rahadin theme should have "screaming s" violins!
@@jarlsunshot5542 then your DM is doing him justice.
I would also love to see some music for Durst Manor (aka the Death House). I kinda hope that we also see an album for more of Ravenloft in the future.
Would have been great because I made sport out of roasting Rahadin at every opportunity with my halfling. It was hilarious. Unfortunately Rahadin is already dead in our campaign
After months of anticipation, it finally begins…
I started with Dancing with the Wolves, so I can’t wait to see what you do with the rest of the soundtrack!
I can't wait either!
This is sublime, I love the Regality.
Reworked?! Oh, I hope you do all the tracks for this album!
I was going to reorchestrate them at first, but the files are lost on my old PC. I plan to rework about 3-4 of them and add one or two new ones :)
@@RPGMusicMaker Well that's the best news I've heard all day! Not the losing files part, of course
Though I had hoped for a LMoP soundtrack next, this is awesome as well! Since some people are suggesting ideas for new tracks, I figured I’d throw in my own lot as well: Yester Hill could make for an interesting track, particularly if inspiration is drawn from James RPG Art’s image of Yester Hill.
Great suggestion! Im only revisiting CoS for 4-5 themes, but I will add new ones with the reworks. Yester Hill is a great suggestion, I had a blast there when I ran the adventure!
This composer made a full LMoP soundtrack with 23 tracks in it each being very good. I highly recommend them if you plan on running LMoP. ua-cam.com/play/PL3Rwc05jJOUTtVvrKA3AQExRoE05NNVpm.html
This makes me so happy!
Incredible! Thank you so much for revisiting this
I’m currently running curse of strahd and I’ve been using your music so even more to use is awesome. Thank you so much
Dude, I'm so incredibly in awe of your work. The Curse of Strahd soundtrack is the top tier for me, and hearing this was just incredible!
Dank, I look forward to the extended edition!
I love this soundtrack. Congratz!
Awesome! This is my favorite soundtrack. You will have to leave the old one up though! This was the first campaign I have run and your music was the reason I got it.
Dont worry Im leaving the old themes up! Thank you for putting my music to good use and sharing it with your friends.
Same actually.
Just about to start back up COS! This is incredible!!! Thank you !!!!!
Amazing work, looking forward to all the new tracks and reworks! Your work always puts me in the right mental space for my D&D mapmaking.
This is my favorite of your songs. They're all outstanding, but this one has so much power.
Your Curse of Strahd album is one of my favorites and this is an absolutely breathtaking rework of the Introduction! I'm so excited to see what you bring to the rest of this reworking! As always, you're amazing.
Yes yes yes, just what I needed today!
YES! I love it! I'm using your music for my Curse of Strahd campaign and I'm so excited knowing there's going to be more!
Omg I’m was getting ready to send my party back to Barovia and this drops! You are the best man!
I use your soundtrack so much for my CoS group. LOVE the rework - so excited for the rest!!!
I'M SO EXCITED! IM RUNNING COS AS WE SPEAK AND THIS IS THE BEST. I love the intrigue in this
I'm very excited to see where this is going!
This is excellent! I've used some of your other Strahd compositions for my last games and it helped a lot with the mood.
Hope you make lots more :D
I've been in love with your music ever since I heard the original Into The Mists; I can't wait for what's in store :D
Yeeeeeeeeees!!! My CoS campaign is on a hiatus, so it will comeback with new and improved soundtrack! Thank you very much for making this. I was already using your old one as the main soundtrack
Hey thank you for making this! music is fantastic and my curse of strahd players will enjoy this. Im buying it on your band camp right now!
Loving these Strahd tracks! Used the 'Into The Mists' collection the other day for my campaign and it was such an awesome mix to have on. Awesome work!
ITS CURSE OF STRAHD REVAMPED!! excellent as always! i remember the excitement i felt when i first found your first COS album right as i began playing in my COS campaign. we're nearly reaching the end so im STOKED to have this rework of my fave album of yours. incredible as always, travis, youve outdone yourself!!
WOW AMAZING ! The original soundtrack was already fabulous, but now I understand why you wanted to go back on your work and use all you learned in the past years
I cannot love your music for CoS more. IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER.
I thought, "Hey I want to listen to that amazing CoS music while I'm studying, I haven't listened to it in a while." Then, lo and behold, you just came out with a new one! It's like Christmas but in September!
I have loved Ravenloft since I6 Ravenloft. I loved running House of Strahd and created a soundtrack for it using movie soundtracks like Brahm Stoker's Dracula and others. I really like the idea of using your Ravenloft soundtrack in my next running of that grand horror adventure.
This to me feels like the prologue. Like a narrator is explaining the Demi-plane concept and giving some lore while the camera swoops over the misty moors and pans up to reveal castle ravenloft while the opening credits roll
Incredible as always!
This theme is so versatile along with being amazing, it fits into almost any campaign
Yesss!! So looking forward to this!! And also hoping for an Ismark theme? 🤞 I feel he very much deserves one.
I can’t believe this is happening 😱 I’m doing a CoS Campaign currently. Thank you Travis 👍🏻
My friend, you are god. Your tracks have been everpresent throughout my CoS campaign, and I can't wait to use even more!
This is so good - I liked the first version as well, but listening to them back to back, I much prefer this one. I’m so excited to see how you’re revamping (lol) the chosen tracks and which ones will be new!!!
This is gonna be incredible! Are you doing all new tracks as well? Is it too hopeful for a Pidlwick II theme? One of my favourite characters, and my players fated ally
My personal hope is a theme for Van Richten. I ended up having him and Ezmerelda share her theme when I used the soundtrack but it never quite felt right.
I will be doing new tracks! I might rework 2-3 of the old ones and add 1-2 new themes :)
@@RPGMusicMaker i m exited. we just entered deathhouse but i cant wait to use those masterworks
@@RPGMusicMaker can’t wait, a theme for the Abbot would be incredible
@@RPGMusicMaker ooh perfect timing! I just started with a new group - their allies are the Martikovs/Davian Martikov if you happen to be doing new tracks ;)
This is amazing, wow!
As people are suggesting some things for the 4-5 new themes, i would like to throw in the abbot.
my strahd campaign might already be over, but the songs from the strahd track are perfect for any horror esque grim-dark style games i have ran or plan to run so i cant wait to see how you plan to shake things up!
i enjoy this, like the joy of a conqueror wrought from their heart to sound. joyful yet still tainted with that dark malice and mystic aura from the original like strahd as a mortal man overlooking his early conquests. warm yet still in spite of the strange and dark stones which it rests for now waiting to be torn down with the motifs established.
About 20 sessions into GMing Curse of Strahd for a number of players. Almost exclusively been using your tracks because they are so good!
I will continue commenting on these videos, since they deserve to get picked up by the UA-cam algorithm and spread throughout, because all of your work is incredible.
This... This is perfect.
can't wait to hear this
Oh this feels so good!!! 😍
👀👀👀👀👀 I am SO excited for this!!
Thank you 😭😭😭
This is awesome
YESSSSSSSSS
Oh yeah! Hâte d'entendre les autres. Si tu en fait des nouvelles, une pour le souper avec le diable? Ahahah!
awesome!
I'm closing my eyes picturing this as the opening credits to a DnD Strahd Netflix series. Hope that was the intention.
Timing couldn't be better. Right now, my players are traveling through the Shadowfell trying to get back to Barovia after 17 years since they were ejected from there.
And they're more than familiar with the "Through the Mists" album.
God, I can already imagine their faces when I start using the updated soundtracks :D
I'll start using this as an intro theme after they get the invitation
C'est magique dude!!
Of course this comes out after my my Curse of Strad stream ends, but it sounds amazing
Sounds almost Witchery, like Blood and Wine. Really digging it!
Exquisite.
If you want a suggestion maybe Vallaki or the festival there? Lol just throwing spaghetti at a wall, see if it sticks
Masterpiece ❤
i swear to you man, im having my next COS seassion in 2 weeks and you are giving me another peace of art?!
the first one was already dope and now you giving us another one! shut up and take my money!
Omg omg more!!!
HOLY SHIT YES
BRO IM SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR THIS! I am running a curse of strahd campagin rn, and im using your music. We are coming up on the end of it though. I think im going to make a subtle change to the revamped stuff because we are comming up on the end and stuff is ramping up.
My party is LITERALLY a fighting the final battle with Strahd tomorrow night!!!
THIS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to wait for He is the Ancient
WOOOOOOOOOOO
If I could make a small request for one song, the brides having their song would be amazing
It would be awesome if you could make a loop-able version of the soundtrack to use for long running sessions of dnd
Here we go again!!!
First of all, amazing work! My players (and me as well) just absolutely love the music you make. It fits Curse of Strahd perfectly!
Is there any chance that the new tracks will appear beside the old tracks on Spotify?
"Come close adventurers!" greeted the old man by the fire with his entire caravan looking towards you with welcoming gazes, sadly the party knows they have to tell them to leave. "Ahhh I see and understand, but before we part ways, sit down and join us. Tell me adventurers have you heard of the tale of a man named Strahd Von Zarovich?"
No one knows who he is
"Well before we part ways, enjoy the drink and the tale of Lord Strahd" the old man says as he throws magical dust unto the flames making it burn green and within the green flames as he narrates the tale. You see a silhouette of a man on a horse.
I think the previous intro was more powerful and scary. This doesn't sound as ominous. That doesn't mean I don't like it, it's just different. Which is actually great, because it means it doubles the amount of soundtracks of this theme I have at my disposal, just with a slightly different spin on them 😎
Getting just a bit of Hollow Knight: Radiance vibes here. :)
Can we get a Dragonlance soundtrack? If you are not already in the works of that? OR perhaps a Tyranny of Dragons?
Keep up the good work! I have been loving and enjoying your music for years now
A reworked Waltz track, am I correct? I like it though. It's very fitting. I am interested to see what you do with the rest of the album. I thought the first was perfectly fitting, but this intrigues me. Well done!
I love this rework! There is a chance to hear your soundtrack of Out of the Abyss? In two polls happened to be close to win
An Abbot theme would be amazing if you plan on making some new ones
He is ancient. He is the land. He is Strahd Von Zarovich.
any update on sound squire?
I suddenly have the urge to purchase curse of strahd
I am begging for a storm kings thunder or tyranny of dragons album
I don’t know how to explain it but at 00:10 I seem to hear dogs whining
This channel needs more zeroes on the subscribe/like button
You should consider doing some wildmount or possibly Spelljammers.
I am currently running curse of strahd right now i wont be using ypur music but i will have this playing next week when we officialy start for our intro as we just finished session zero keep up the good work also do you do requests because if you do may i suggest lost mine of phandelver?
i love you
Is there a way to get permission to use this for streaming/UA-cam? We're starting Strahd on our Twitch channel and (back many moons ago) I used this album for my in person game and would love to use it but I can't find links/easy ways to contact you!
It's perfectly fine as long as you are not selling a product using it! That goes for everything on my channel as well :)!
@@RPGMusicMaker Oh sick! Awesome to know, thanks!
I hate to say it, because I love your work and know you favor Curse of Strahd, but I think I actually prefer the original. This feels much louder, grander, bombastic ... it lacks the subtlety and precision the original had. Sometimes less is more, you know? But I may be speaking prematurely, perhaps when the other reworked tracks are released this will fit better into that cohesive whole.
I agree, this sounds too upbeat for CoS. To me, this would fit perfectly for Wild Beyond the Witchlight where you have that Fey horror vs. Gothic horror. This sounds very Fey horror.
Dude. a classical piece you can take some inspiration from are from Litvinovski. specially if you DM and it's the party's first time meeting strahd
Please rework #13 it's so good already but still
You should try to get your music on Apple music!
Oh I did, but unfortunately they dont accept orchestral/classical music unless it's from an official soundtrack :/
@@RPGMusicMaker aw man, this is so sad
don't hate me but I kind of like it at .75 speed
