The Fjord is my favorite area in WoW. The sound track for the area is epic, the quests involved tell a rich story, the characters and their rolls seem all too real, and just the over all feel of the area is just flawless. Makes me sad that I'm in Zul'Farak now
I sadly never got the chance to play vanilla or bc, but I remember the first time I went on my friends level 80. I didn't start a single quest I just wandered around the zones and the sheer detail and atmosphere of northrend made the boring grind to level 68 on my main bearable, sadly cata never seemed to have the same character as an expansion that I loved about wrath.
i thought wow music was good in bc but when i first stepped onto that dock in daggercap bay, i straight away thought wow music is fucking out of this world!
WOTLk had the best lvling zones . They blew any other zone from bc and cataclysm away.. maybe it was just about the concept.. but i think that blizz came out with perfect zones in relation with the expantion.. i feel like cataclysm doesnt have that same connection , i feel like wotlk had mystery.. Cataclysm doesnt have that.. Thumbs up if you agree.
@3Carnifex yeha with bc and wotlk they had so much story to work with and so much to do with the game between the 2 most admirable characters of the game arthas and illidan. but towards the end of lich king i think blizz started to get impatient and just threw whatever they that was half decent not giving arthas a more epic ending i was pissed when i got to beat him it was a lame ending 10 lvl 80s defeating him psssh and now in cata they dont have as much to work with and i thnk they starting to
@3Carnifex realize that they have hardly anything to work with now with illidan defeated and the lich king frozen again, cata is okay but what got me wanting to play wow was wotlk i sure wish there was a realm that still did wotlk instead of doing cata bs it sux i never got to experiance wotlk like every1 i started in cata =/ lame
@3Carnifex You pretty much nailed it. WotLK was the superior expansion to me, they took everything they learned from BC and made it better. The whole setting was an improvement, heavy wood and solid iron instead of rainbow crystals in space. It didn't start to really go downhill until the end of WotLK :(
@3Carnifex Cata wasn't supposed to be a mystery though, they made the music mysterious because it was uncharted new land! Cata just had old zones reworked, theres only so many plot points you can go with something like that.
@3Carnifex its alla bout taste , i lvoed wotlk for the north feeling , with vikings, and also the continuation from frozen throne warcraft 3 story , seeing old laces in 3D wow :) living the moments
Most beautiful song ever... it litterly reminds me of the long nights of farming the sea turtle mount, the song kept me going its just so peaceful... but i dont like part 1 the other version kinda ruins the tranquillity... but this version is just total euphoria :3
Best zone in the game, sometimes i go back here and just wander around with music on and just chill. Nothing in cataclysm touches the wotlk. people hate on woltk but in retrospect this expansion completely killed cata
@Michaelmop Remember the wonderful adventures in Howling fjord and the storm peaks etc? :(... The beautiful music and epic zones....the green grass and white snow....
@Michaelmop I haven't played Cata, I stopped about a year or so after WoTLK came out. This was such a great xpac, with rich lore, beautiful zones and a dream come true to a norse mythology nerd, as I've said many times before lol
Best zone in the game, sometimes i go back here and just wander around with music on and just chill. Nothing in cataclysm touches the wotlk. people hate on woltk but in retrospect this expansion completely killed cata.
It's a rule of mine to always start lvling in Holwing Fjord, not in Borean Tundra. I enjoy every minute being in Howling. The landscape, the music, the atmoshpere... undescribable... :)
This is the most beautifull music for a perfect night, in a country like Howling Fjord of Grizzly hills and than watching to the stars on your epic flying mount xD
This music paints a crystal clear image in my mind of levelling my Rogue on the launch night of Wrath. It is amazing how just hearing a second or two of the music reminds me of the exact location I was at and what quest I was doing.
So far, Cataclysm hasn't hit me in the same way that Wrath did.
@Paradigmshift2 Yeah. The Cata is good enough, but nothing compared to WotLK. Damn I miss the days levelling in Howling Fjord with my friends. The landscapes and dungeons were awesome. Making now an alt and going levelling there doesnt feel the same. :/
if blizz ever made an expansion where your char could build a house somewhere in wow mine would be in howling fjord hands down . best zone i have seen to date.
WOTLK begin was the best howling Fjord - grizzly hills were an epic adventure but when TOC came it went down...
Gear - Gearscore - Raiding raiding raiding - Story was boring blablabla...and I stopped playing wow at ICC... but still while I was still in game I tried to remember those first days of WOTLk by going to Grizzly hills and relax and it helped quite good ^^.
I'm not a big WoW fan but having heard the music while my friend was playing it, i have to say its quite an impressive game! considering trying it out
Music Is So Peaceful, Watching This Makes Me Want To Play Again. Cataclysm Music From What I Hear Will Be Better, + The Graphics Are Supposed To Be Jaw Dropping. Cant wait!
@AcidRainProduction the graphics are almost the same as before, slightly better, some updated shaders here and there and more polygon count on the new models light worgen&goblin! don't get high hopes! but the music is pure WIN!
Borean Tundra is my favorite place in Northrend... that and Dragonblight... WOTLK has brought the best music and the best zones to WoW in my opinion...
i love this soundtrack one of the best in the game, i stopped playing wow but these soundtracks are very relaxing and remind me of great fun times while playing and being amazed by the beautiful scenery.
Every time I hear this it makes me want to play again :( So peaceful, but at the same time so epic. Reminds me of the good old leveling days once WoTLK came out
OMG I can not belive I actialy read this.Its one of those things that ppl dont care abaut, like when you watch those pathetic youtube videos of Warcraft and first thing you hear is some disco beat in backgroud...I dont fucking get it.This is beautiful fantasy game and ppl just dont get it.Its abaut nature, animals and wizards and ppl simpley ignore it.If I would be creator of this game I would be really sad when watching what ppl are all abaut today when they play it.
this song reminds me of when i first landed on the fjord with my mage at the beginning of wotlk. the way I viewed that zone now drastically differs from when i first arrived. wish i could go back to that feeling of a new and unexplored place.
i agree, nothing beats the way you first view a certain place in WoW, like when i found SW i thought i was the first one to discover it because i thought it was a hidden city or something when i took the tram from IF, turns out i was wrong but it felt awesome
This place was so... unexplainably mystical, it gives you this deep sense of nostalgia or something that made you feel as if you were really in northrend, this place still is the best zone ever though.
there's alot of you people who are saying that 3 minutes onward is nice and stuff. personally I think the very beginning to like 1:30 is the most beautiful, especially with the orchestration. it really depicts the sharp, lonely, but free feeling that you would feel in this area of the game.
the part that starts at 2:55 always raises the hair on my neck, its so creepy good, such an ominous threat feeling i get from it, this is pure genious
You know, i like alot of classic rock and metal, but fuck i love this music so much. Really makes me miss my past at times. Like find Grizzly Hills Day Music 3, that has to be my favorite out of the sound track
No, Grizzly Hills is more like the Canadian part, Howling Fjord is definently the Scandinavian part, there are fricken Vikings running all over the place, not Celts -.-
The music is distinctly Celtic though, and the Celts were very closely related to the Vikings. The main instrument featured in most of the music in the fjords are the Uillieann pipes, or Irish bagpipes. Look them up, its a very beautiful instrument.
U can find many place in Europe tht look like the Howling fjord not just Norway scotland,or sweden, believe it or not i found a place tht looks like the Howling fjord in Romania! in romania there is an instrament tht sounds similar to the uillean pipes.
Romania and scandenavia have alot in commen maybe because the ancestors of the romanians were under gothic and celtic influence.
Yea, im majoring in music right now and it's great. I LOVE the tuba! And I believe in myself that i will one day play for them. With all the things from Cataclysm, they must be puttin together new music.
Ah, I remember the Fjord...I leveled all my characters through it, mostly because of the music...and when I quit the game they all "retired" there...lol
dude....i remember staying up for the midnight release of wotlk, and soon as i stepped foot of the boat in HF this music made such a crazy joyful ambiance to questing out there especially the part from 1:30 - 2:40. only though it wasn't that long ago, its already become nostalgic.
Most amazing soundtrack in the entire game, In fact the Fjord was the best area to me as well. the instrumentals make me think of falling snow at 3:00 onward, so peaceful.
The music is achingly lovely, haunting and ethereal. My highest character is only at 64 and I still come up there; braving the Vyrkul, just to hear it! Thank you so much for uploading this song.
I have to downloead this music:D It is so great that i just wannah go upp to the mountain here in Norway and see over the view. In Howling Fjord it is like Norway, the forest and the mountains:)
Did you guys know that this region is inspired by the Norwegian/Scandinavian style? Vikings - Kinda' obvious, really. But did you know that the word Fjord has it's origin from Norwegian? Same goes with Slalom and Troll. And the instrument you hear in one of the songs here is not a violin, but a ''Hardingsfele'' - again, a Norwegian instrument. Blizzard has done their research quite well. You should check it up, quite fascinating.
Howling Fjord and northrend in general=Great concepts, design and execution. Blizz finally realized how boring quests were, the new ones are great. The areas are also very different in northrend, in azeroth some areas look too similar to each other, in part because they use the same music.
Apart from the cinematics and the wonderful music Howling Fjord is also a much more peaceful place to start off because it is less crowded and you are less likely to be ganked than in Borean Tundra.
Beautiful graphics and a great song. It's truely wonderful that gamers from nordic decent can relate to this. Unlike fantasy BC and azeroth, where it's purely fantasy style. Nicely done blizz!
This is definitely one of the best musical tracks I've heard for a game. Some of the flute sections are reminiscent of the film Aliens. There is a lot of soul in this music, its one of the reasons why I'll be coming back to WoW for Wrath of the Lich King.
does anyone else get the feeling that Howling Fjord music has a sense of loneliness? I've been playing beta and HF definitely has this somber, lonely feeling. I think it goes well with the theme of Northrend as this damned land which the Lich King (and Arthas following) blighted and corrupted. I love it, even though my heart sinks a bit.
Not to say I've got no spine but this music does hit something with me.
You are in a cold, frozen, rocky fjord. Minions of Lich King are watching you. You do not know what awaits you at the next corner. Countless evils of Northrend await you. You are alone, cold and lost. And this music perfectly accents it.
hehe EVIL things all over and the lich king is watching you, so true so true. ^^ And you're not truely alone...you have murlocs and kalu'ak to cuddle with. :D yet you also have evil vikings, undead and crazy humanoids and countless evil creatures that want to tear you limb from limb. :P
Imagine having this going in the background while playing Skyrim.

The music is achingly lovely, haunting and ethereal. My highest character is only at 64 and I still come up there; braving the Vyrkul, just to hear it! Thank you so much for uploading this song.

Yes, Howling Fjord looks very Norweigan, Grizzly Hills has a Canada/Alaska vibe to it.

I was leveling an alt in Tanaris and I went into one of the houses in Lost Rigger Cove and into a back room and this music started playing.
I loved it because the Howling Fjord is my favorite place because this music is just so relaxing.

Did you guys know that this region is inspired by the Norwegian/Scandinavian style? Vikings - Kinda' obvious, really. But did you know that the word Fjord has it's origin from Norwegian? Same goes with Slalom and Troll. And the instrument you hear in one of the songs here is not a violin, but a ''Hardingsfele'' - again, a Norwegian instrument. Blizzard has done their research quite well. You should check it up, quite fascinating.

alot of the lore comes from the viking mythology and alot of other ancient cultures.
kiball09 3 years ago
Oh Yeah, Blizz totally themed the zone after Norway, what with the Fjords and Pine forests.. Thus making this a favorite zone of mine ;)

is a Hardingsfele the same thing as a hurdy gurdy / wheel fiddle?

Howling Fjord and northrend in general=Great concepts, design and execution. Blizz finally realized how boring quests were, the new ones are great. The areas are also very different in northrend, in azeroth some areas look too similar to each other, in part because they use the same music.

Apart from the cinematics and the wonderful music Howling Fjord is also a much more peaceful place to start off because it is less crowded and you are less likely to be ganked than in Borean Tundra.

Beautiful graphics and a great song. It's truely wonderful that gamers from nordic decent can relate to this. Unlike fantasy BC and azeroth, where it's purely fantasy style. Nicely done blizz!

Not just Scandinavians, but Scots and Irish too because of the pipe music.

This is definitely one of the best musical tracks I've heard for a game. Some of the flute sections are reminiscent of the film Aliens. There is a lot of soul in this music, its one of the reasons why I'll be coming back to WoW for Wrath of the Lich King.

does anyone else get the feeling that Howling Fjord music has a sense of loneliness? I've been playing beta and HF definitely has this somber, lonely feeling. I think it goes well with the theme of Northrend as this damned land which the Lich King (and Arthas following) blighted and corrupted. I love it, even though my heart sinks a bit.
Not to say I've got no spine but this music does hit something with me.

You are in a cold, frozen, rocky fjord. Minions of Lich King are watching you. You do not know what awaits you at the next corner. Countless evils of Northrend await you. You are alone, cold and lost. And this music perfectly accents it.
Emperor696 3 years ago
hehe EVIL things all over and the lich king is watching you, so true so true. ^^ And you're not truely alone...you have murlocs and kalu'ak to cuddle with. :D yet you also have evil vikings, undead and crazy humanoids and countless evil creatures that want to tear you limb from limb. :P

You nailed it on the head; while listening to this, I actually had an overwhelming sense of loneliness pervade my being.
Sorry to sound mushy and gushy, but that's just how powerful this music is.

You're kidding, right?
Jeremy Soule is the most over-rated Composer for Videogames. His music is light, fluffy, and perfectly Soul-less.
