7:20 the use of vocals here is amazing. I was very saddened to see Russel Brower laid off from Blizzard, and I still am, but seeing Grant Kirkhope's work on a Blizzard game fills me with such happiness.
The vocals for this and the last expansion (zin aszhari) were sung by baroque singer Grace Davidson! Her voice is stunning! Also sang "feast of starlight" from the hobbit!
He wasn't laid off, was he? As I understand, he just left because of Blizzard rejigging their audio team and him being displeased with his current position being scrapped as a result.
@Danish Bukhari ikr I have 1 main and the rest of my characters are max levels with shitty gear because I dont play them much. I dont understand how some people gear up all 20 million of their characters lol
Same :D I've planned to go with Ardenweald... And then I heard this piece and I was like... "Oh.. my... Vampire!" I've waited for a soundtrack like this since Gilneas :D And here we have it :3
totally agree , music gives emotion on some pieces of art , this one does , clearly one of the best masterpiece i ever seen on this game , shout out to the team

@@Aztazm I already googled him before making my comment and saw exactly what you did. That doesn’t tell me anything because none of that has been demonstrated to be actually good. I’m asking for specific recommendations from OP.
It's not actually a harpsichord, it's a Hammered Dulcimer. Pretty similar in style, but it's a great melody. Just in case you want to look up more music that sounds similar!
I don't care if you're in a car with 3 other friends who all play different covenants, no way you don't take that AUX cord and make those homies vibe out to this banger.
The venthyr part of Through the Roof of the World (which I have on repeat since it came out) was incredibly good. Now hearing this I'm getting my mind blown, and I am not even halfway through it. Never payed attention to the WoW OST but it feels like it's the best it's ever been. The art team is truly the best.
22:54 This track was playing in Sinfall after my friends, most of whom haven't played retail in 10+ years, and I beat Sire Denathrius for the first time together as a guild. Combined with the overarching storyline of Revendreth, it felt triumphant and awesome. This expansion has been an absolute blast so far.
As much as Shadowland was hated, the Venthyr were one of my favorite people and their quests the most fun of the expansion. The dark humour, sarcasm, moral ambiguity and banalisation of horror made me burst out loud so many times. All the other factions were taking themself so seriously and the Venthyr were just vibing in the face of true horror. Also Denathrius most charismatic vilan in ages. Kind of like Sephiroth, the bad guy but just so badass you can't help yourself to admire him.
I MISS YOU REVENDRETH, all the good memories, mount hunting, covenant callings, unloading anima, mission table, ember court(eww), mirrors, rep grind, and black market auction checking :((((((((((((((( TAKE ME BACK
Say what you will about Shadowlands ( it was awful ) but the music and the aesthetics and the atmosphere in certain zones was SPOT ON. Love coming back to this.
Exactly??? Jake started making music for WoW in 8.3 and literally everything from him is so good?? Those "Decadence" tracks in Revendreth, all by him, so good.
Revendreth and the Venthyr were the reason I bought the Shadowlands expansion. I enjoyed these zones, even though modern retail WoW is just not that great imo.
7:15 This is why you're here
you're my hero
Exactly my dude appreciated
thanks
YES!
You do read minds. Kudos! 👌🏻
The most important music of the Shadowlands.
Ardenweald for sure

That tune sounds familiar somehow but I cant place it
@@birb7866 same here could be from bloodborne or demonsouls main theme or sum idk sounds like I heard it somewhere before
I would say that rhyme reminds me the part where Dracula has his vampire masquerade ball in Van Helsing

looking forward to vibing with the tango vampires ngl

@Danish Bukhari :P. I managed 12 in legion.
@Danish Bukhari I have 50 characters in WoW. But, I wouldn't call it managing. I gotta delete some characters, so I can make room for new races. lol
its waltz actually
some times i mute the ingame sound and just play this lmao fits almost any zone haha
Here I was completely convinced I wanted to roll Maldraxxus and this piece just sigle-handedly made me question my entire decision
Same :D I've planned to go with Ardenweald... And then I heard this piece and I was like... "Oh.. my... Vampire!"
I've waited for a soundtrack like this since Gilneas :D And here we have it :3
Same for me, the them is something new in world of warcraft but more than ever, looks like Diablo and Starwars on the same time
1:21 Probably the best violon bit I've ever heard
totally agree , music gives emotion on some pieces of art , this one does , clearly one of the best masterpiece i ever seen on this game , shout out to the team
The LK in wow cata login screen music too
So awesome to see Blizzard hiring Grant Kirkhope this expansion.
Why? What does this "Grant Kirkhope" do of note?

wow soo sad
i was undecided on covenants til i heard the music
8:20 love that harpsichord track when in sinfall, so relaxing

Mi sire Denathrius, a sus servicios
I'd love to waltz with general draven. Gargoyle daddy ♥️
Where does this play? I hope it plays in Sinfall, need these bangers in my hub
Hands down the best theme in Shadowlands. Can't stop enjoying listening to this. True neoclassics
14:50 Legion-like theme? Sire Denathrius - Sire Nathrezim, Castle Nathria - Castle Nathrezim
spoiler: a setback
Tea party with Theotar, anyone?

Glad to see the Venthyr getting so much music
“To the good people of Revendreth…”
Nice to see they... *scored* Grant Kirkhope as one of the composers!
16:05 don't mind me, just putting my personal repeat timestamp.
Gotta say my favorite zone music in Shadowlands, just so brutally beautiful like Eversong Woods.
The venthyr part of Through the Roof of the World (which I have on repeat since it came out) was incredibly good. Now hearing this I'm getting my mind blown, and I am not even halfway through it. Never payed attention to the WoW OST but it feels like it's the best it's ever been. The art team is truly the best.
I pay a whole lot of attention to the WoW OST (I had notifications on waiting for this) and you’re damn right that it’s the best it’s ever been.
That would be Outland by Ulmen. Second is Wrath by Soule. Ghis might be 3rd place.
I love the waltz style of Revendreth's music. Very Castlevania, which is so fitting.
Blizzard making a BIG POWER MOVE with Kirkhope omg

is this still true in july?
@@Manwendlil Hmmm...
If you focus on raiding, i guess
If you deeply care about the lore, no.
if you want to "catch up" it's gonna be tough

Ok I'm even more pumped to join the Venthyr now!
wow this is seriously amazing. Just became one of my favorite pieces from all of wow
Best part of Shadowlands.
It's proud, imposing, beautiful, and amazing. I really like the organ and harpsichord.
Legacy of Kain
Heroes of might and magic
And now warcraft I'm sold
@Naradius Meltaganum kick ass vamps and music
For Volkihar clan! ;) XD

this x100
take me back to shadowlands classic bro
22:00 Gettin' some of that Banjo-Kazooie-esque flavor in there I see, Grant. :p
Grunty’s Lair sounds different than I remember
19:10 - 19:42 Everytime i hear this i always whistle to it
PRIDE, BLOOD, DECADENCE
Castlevania vibes
venthyr bringing out pure bangers
3:20 personal note
what a masterpiece!! i love that
Sadly this music theme was, probably, the ONLY good thing in whole Shadowlands.
Loving how some pieces sound a bit like something out of Dishonored here!
Maybe its just the nostalgia in my brain. But god damn do I get some Fable vibes. A m a z i n g. Simply stunning music.
You are so right ! The part that starts around 10:12 fits really well with Bowerstone Old Quarter
Say what you will about Shadowlands ( it was awful ) but the music and the aesthetics and the atmosphere in certain zones was SPOT ON. Love coming back to this.
Sounds like home, cant wait for this place
It was many years since a video game made me feel at home. Many thanks to Revendreth and my Venthyr siblings
Venthyr is the only one greeting u warmly
everyone gving love to Grant but where the love for jake!?
Exactly??? Jake started making music for WoW in 8.3 and literally everything from him is so good?? Those "Decadence" tracks in Revendreth, all by him, so good.
This music alone justified the choice of Venthyr
My covenant ❤️

5Head :Wine_Glass: Any aristocrats in the chat?
Ohhh, something new!
So thematically refreshing.
I know what campaign I'm joining! VAMPIRES!!! Whooooh!
8:11
The music in wow never stopped to be epic, paid the game just for support them
Do I hear Kuroshitsuji from 18:36? XD :3 I love these songs omg :3
Count Dracula gonna be proud
BLEH BLEH BLEH
We NEVER say "BLEH BLEH BLEH"! x3
Simon Templeman is voicing a vampire in this game too
I would die if that is true
but this is with voices instead of the harpsichord :'(
GRANT KIRKHOPE??? he made banjo kazooie music omg
What the hell I didn't realise the Banjo Kazooie composer worked on this! :O
8:58 the one that starts here goes so hard
this remembers me of Georges Bizet lol
9:35 saving for later
me as a warlock "i'm going venthyr" my guild: "but it's not a good choice" me: "I don't care- I like the music and theme"
It's like the OSTs from Fullmetal Alchemist and Bloodborne had a love child with WoW.
WAIIIIT Grant Kirkhope? BANJO KAZOOIE ON SHADOWLANDS NOW!!!!!!
Perfect Background music: For cleaning home, playing :D
Amazing!
Revendreth and the Venthyr were the reason I bought the Shadowlands expansion. I enjoyed these zones, even though modern retail WoW is just not that great imo.
The best!
How many adds did you stuff into this, i can barely listen for 3 mins before being offered to pays for whatsapp for the third time
the council of blood music is the best music iv ever heard so far in WOW
SINFALL
Бал из Ванхельсинга😊
You can have mixed results when it comes to WoW, but the music is always top tier, no matter what, even when it sounds cartooney or sily.
Smells like a blood
This is so good
2:06 being the waltz!
Вау крутая музыка
I came here looking for the segments that play in dominance keep
Amazing, for the moment the Best part of shadowlands
I'm getting interrupted by ads every ±4 minutes, it seems
Garrosh anima for everyone! Enjoy it while still fresh.
Gotta say here, there's some Tim Burton-esque influence in the music.
You talking about Danny Elfman? 'Cause that's Tim's go-to music man.
"Darkest greetings"
Does it sound like the alliance/stormwind theme at 8:20 to anyone else? Wonder what’s up with that 👀👀
I think it's reminiscent of the Argent Crusade music, similar tones or the instrument used I guess.
Why not on Apple Music yet
This music is like with the heat of a thousand sun ❤️
ribbit
EPIC
Fancy a chinwag
Gotham
cool.
Got some Tim Burton vibes coming from this, I love it!
Yep same here, Batman theme at 1:58 ;)
That's Danny Elfman-esque, you guys. 😉
What is the song at 19:45 called
Venthyr_j or just Venthyr J.
This music shits on almost the entire BFA soundtrack (with the exception of Boralus and Dazar'Alor bgms)
