  • haha the top 2 comments are kinda gay/...

  • for a lich king!!!!

  • Lament of the Death Knights

  • We all who are death knights will honor our fallen king killing the scourge that is not under our control we will slay them under the shade of our dark power. we will convert many of the undead we kill into our army of the undead to force the evil that killed Arthas out

  • When i played DK for the first time i was like, why WHYYY!!!! WHY CANT I STAY ON ARTHAS'S SIDE!?!?!?!?!? Q.Q

  • @Argrul yea maybe they should have made a third faction: The Scourge, new classes: Death Knight(paladin), Necromancer(priest), Lich(mage),Vrykul Warrior(warrior),Banshee(warlo­ck),Geist(rogue),Nerub(hunter)­... shamans and druids not needed XD (really idk what else to asign them)

  • @Balamutus3000 shit idea, i hate it, i hate you

  • @waxcoatedbanjo ok, you dont like it, why ? or you just hate because you like to hate ? in that case hate yourself :P

  • @Balamutus3000 Dont mind him another troll hater here xD

  • @Balamutus3000 Sounds like an awesome idea, to bad that blizz will never make it :/ I love the death knight's questline! I WANT MORE SCOURGE!

  • @Argrul WHYYY!!!! WHY CAN'T YOU USE GRAMMAR CORRECTLY!?!?!?!?!? Q.Q

  • Cataclysm made me leave WoW. And Mists of Pandaria is making me stay away for at least another year and a half....

  • Our parents grew up with the red riding hood, we grew up with Arthas....This is/was more than just a game, it was a childhood milestone

  • I cry everytime I hear this lol. I miss Wrath of The Lich King soooooooooo much!! SO EPIC!!XD

  • @virgosky8  eternal-wow is a kinda nice wotlk private server =)

  • @RocketMan12260 Thanks, I'll be sure to look into it. Blizzard just needs to make a console game of wotlk content for xb360. Now that would be a dream come true!^_^

  • wow just wow the music in this game never stops to amazing me, i literly full my body get colder when i hear this song

  • Love from 0:40 to 1:20

  • Like this if you request Blizzard return all servers back to the date of November 13, 2008. (WOTLK Release Date)

  • @Audet4 s5 dks? HELL NO

  • @itachiu37 Arcane Barrage 1-shots? HELL YES haha

  • I <3 Wow Music. It's so meaningful, so emotional, and so beautiful.

  • Epic music to an epic game! Long live Arthas as the Lich King! My favorite expansion.........I miss wrath soooooo much! (starts crying)

  • Arthas was the classic story of a prince, good guy turned to the dark side. very much an anakin skywalker/darth vader story, its the basic nature and mystery of what turns such a noble hero to evil that captures peoples imagination.

    He may have turned evil and done so many horrible things but his name and position in warcraft lore will never be forgotten.

    Long live arthas prince of lorderon, and long live the ''REAL'' lich king.

    I miss you wrath, we all do.

  • WOTLK: May have had some of the worst/easiest rated dungeons/raids in all the expansions.. but hands down the best story line. Damn I miss this era already.

  • you will find it difficult to speak ......without a head

  • 1:30 sounds VERY similar to SSBB save point music...v=7bG52h9AyJs

  • @Zabersus I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON 2 NOTICE THAT!

  • what i wish blizz did if you were a death knight why couldnt we have a special quest line that lead us to the lich king where w ehave to fight off his control again

  • Ashes to ashes...

  • people we must think about 1 thing if we all let the lich King die why dindt blizzard made him as a quest maker of something like that for exapmle getting reputation for him and that kind of stuff it would be beter then just make another expansion and forget him

  • @nikolai090 no

  • people we must think about 1 thing if we all let the King die why dindt blizzard made him as a quest maker of something like that for exapmle getting reputation for him and that kind of stuff it would be beter then just make another expansion and forget him

  • Cataclysm is good. But nowhere near Wrath of the Lich King.

  • im crying now because i quit wow when cata was about to come out, i couldnt afford £100 each year when i have to skip some meals each week, now im realy freakin sad that i ave to wait some more years till my job and i get paid enough for this.... but by then i hope the games still going great... i miss you my fellow death knights!

  • @Hobnomb same. same

  • @Hobnomb dude im a heroin addict and even I find the $15 to pay every month for a WoW sub

  • @CaliFaintFightz o.o well still you gotta stop the heroin!

  • @Hobnomb yes but never stop WoW =p

  • 5 ppl were unworthy DKs

  • This is the art....everyone chooses his path some day. Blizzard composer choosed to make such a great music. Arthas choosed to learn the art of power. We love composer for writing this music, don't we ? We are thankful for them. Dunno about you, but I love the great Arthas. He'll always be in my mind. Not as an in-game NPC...but as a character from book. He's hero for me.

  • all that i am anger, cruelty vengeance i bestow upon you, my chosen death knight best class i think! DK ftw DK for life!

  • omg cry ever time i hear this song, Remember the sunwell, the Sin'dorei will prevail

  • This music is amazing!

  • What song is the first minute (vocal chorus) from? Or is it all part of the Ebon Hold Music.

  • @HandOfQuaid Arthas, My Son.

  • @IceBaine I dont think so. Thats the young boy singing. Im talking about the older male.

  • @HandOfQuaid "Invincible" sounds more like it, but the two aren't exact.

  • @CataclysmicAuthority true. Ill check it out. Thanks.

  • how CAN u dislike this.........

  • @BlackRod94

    Because 5 people still think all DK's are good for is death grip and icy touch.

  • Is this really part of the official WoW Ost? I weren't able to find that files in the expansion 2.mpq

  • The male choir is singing: An cara nir, fala dor... Ora on thalo. Oracaro fa laar, Co ranea... My brother, Return from the north... You shall rise as king... Humanity, beg and despair. Menethil shall rise, Brother return...

  • @ElderScrollsObliv I think thats incorrect..I'm pretty sure they are singing : An Karanir Thanagor,

    Mor Ok Angalor, Mor Ok Gorum, Palahm Raval, which are lyrics from "O Thanagor" which was also featured in the WoTLK cinematic (Track is also known as "Arthas, My Son" or "Invincible") Song first appeared at the end of WC III. You can also hear parts of it from the Cataclysm menu theme..

  • The sky turns red with the blood of the fallen,the lich king watches over us minions riiiiiiiiiiiiise!

  • Arthas....my master , my prince , my KING....why did you have to die?

  • @Willyshow7 because players killed him xD. And of course he was a villain, terrible enemy for whole azeroth. But i agree, he was and will be my favorite character in warcraft.

  • @Willyshow7 Because he went ape shit and fused with an orc encased in ice atop a glacial palace to rule over an army of dead things. =/

  • @Willyshow7 no king rules forever brother :(. but we will still fight on in the name of ARTHAS THE ONE TRUE KING. 

  • A song that does justice to the tragedy of Arthas, the tragedy of death that has become every Death Knight's existence. And the resolve to carry on through, as beacons of war, malevolence, honor or anything inbewteen. Whatever path we take we take it as Death Knights, free of anyones will. But our tragedy will forever haunt us...

  • Voices of anguish echo from the past, reminders of terrible deeds. Suffering of friends and their screams accompany this unmelting heart. Their memories soon shall perish.

  • its just lower pitch version of arthas my son. this versions better

  • Where can I find the death knight starting area questing music? I really liked the phase during the mount of the frost wyrm bombing run, thought it was wicked.

  • @larsulrich3356 ''Ebon hold battle music" by wowmusicguru

  • @Icedone100 Thank you.

  • Thank you for posting this! This is beautiful! Wasn't even included in the CD :/

    0:36 - The main theme of WOTLK. The key of great soundtracks is replaying in a little different variations in different places. For example 1:02 touches my heart.

  • this is more beautiful than the original invincible

  • 1 minute of silence for the fallen prince please...

  • SCREW RIFT, DAMN FAIRY TALES!

  • 0:36 - 1:10 so cool...

    FROSTMOURNE HUNGERS !!!

  • Man, if more of the game music sounded like this I wouldn't play with it off all the time >.>

  • @SageVallant Thats because world of warcrafts music is sheer perfection though, and only the bioware games seem to be able to even come close to it.

  • @bloodmercs

    well age of conan has better music then wow tbh only age of conan had a most horrible release they released it b4 the game was ready

  • 1:25 to 2:35, it's almost as if you're blood starts to freeze, it's beautiful

  • 1:24 "you still can hear the cry of those who lost theyr beloved ones....."

  • if you listen closely you can hear ''arthas my son'' in the begining

  • @themrdude94 didnt hear shit ? :)

  • @gerillamotherf i mean the song not the words, from 0:34 till 1:08

  • @themrdude94 haha why didnt you say so :D

  • @gerillamotherf thought that u would be smart enough to figure that out :P

  • @themrdude94 i know but i thoughed he literally said that the begining Arthas my son with my ear to the speakers :D

  • @gerillamotherf lol :P

  • What really makes me shudder is the completion of becoming a Lich King, ripping ur heart from ur chest with ur bare hands...

  • I love everything about this music!!! :)

  • 1:25 - 2:35 FTW.. Cataclysm has nothing on this. Deathwing and alliance werewolves FTL

  • Arthas could have been a very prominent Paladin. But, in anger and impulse, he threw away his life, as well as countless others.

  • ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh..­..k 0:30 - 1:21 is just fucking bone chilling...

  • An eerie O´Thanagor playing in the background just gives me the chills..Thumps up for great music :D

  • @88Alura88 thumps thumps

  • Deathwing's not having a hissy fit. He's literally gone mad, even more mad after the Demon Soul. You have to understand the lore behin Deathwing, to understand Cataclysm. Once blizz introduces War of the Ancients CoT, that'll open up some more insight on Deathwing. I agree, that the Cata storyline isnt all THAT great. But, it has many different aspects to it than Wrath did. I'm just glad Deathwing actually DOES something, instead of threatening us, and telling us he'll get us next time...

  • @BlameTheDiscPriest That, was @nemi12 By the Way.

  • Comment removed

  • I love the first minute. Especially when the singing starts in the background. It sounds really sad and tragic

  • @NouraOfModania Epic (O thanagor). Although I'm a new fan, Im not impressed with cataclism. I believe Arhtas' story is the best and I never heared better music for a videogame than Lich king's theme with vocals that remind his past as a paladin. A real wonder. Arthas we miss you!!!

  • @Saradidis I dont like the Cataclysm storyline either. I stopped playing WoW because of it.

  • @Shadeleaves lol

  • @Saradidis I stopped as well. WoTLK was definitely worth the money. Cataclysm questing was enjoyable but, there is something unrelateable with Cataclysm. I guess I'm thrown off by the fact Deathwing is just having a hissy fit and Arthas had some understandable human qualities to him. WoTLK was about a tragedy, idk what Cataclysm counts as. Lol.

  • @Saradidis Im sorry but i am in utter disbelief with what you are saying Deathwing has a much deeper story than what arthas did as much as i love arthas Neltharion is what he used to be called The Earth warder blessed by the titans to watch over all the deep places of azeroth, and because he was so close to the earth the Old Gods got to him and my god you have got to read their lore the Old Gods Yogg N'zath and C'thun all played a part with deathwing get on wowiki and fall inlove with this story

  • Comment removed

  • @hippydude89

    Yeah i couldnt put in stuff in detail :P wasnt enough characters, i took out most punctuation and other stuff for that to fit

  • @TwilightCreep Meh, I love Deathwing, but Arthas' story is more heartbreaking. Deathwing just went insane because of the whispers of the Old God's. Arthas was just trying to protect his people from the very thing he ended up turning into.

  • 1:25 + is just amazing. You can feel the despair, agony, and spite. The chorus is great, but this sound is just so out there. It would be great to play on Halloween night; Spooky!

  • Comment removed

  • i just stay in ebon hold for this epic soundtrack. i can also count honor hold's song...

    As a death knight, i dont feel myself belong to alliance or horde. For the lore, death knights can be enlarge as a faction. Screechers, abominations, ghouls and many other character has more deeper enthusiasticm rather than current factions.

    I will be waiting to serve Bolvard as our new Lich King...

    hear us blizz!

  • @Kemalistim In cata Sylvanas tries to kill the horde DK leader (some elf cant remember name) and all DKs (yes including the horde ones)+ Argent Crusade go againts the Forsaken(horde).

  • @ichko3 Koltira Deathweaver. (Fav character of all time<3)

  • @ichko3 she knows shes going to lose right? i mean ok the natheriz are demons, but the horde ? is she out of her mind?

  • @gerillamotherf Since I'm a Death Knight I would really like them to be some sort of independent... fuck Argent Crusade and The forsaken...

    We exist only to serve him.

  • @ichko3 woot! i love the ebon blade but hate the forsaken:) poor koltira:(

  • This song is so epic it gives me chills..little sadness for Arthas..but its so...i don't know how to put it..it really reminds me of the fall of Arthas and how he became the lich king best character EVER!

  • is there anyone with knowledge of music that can tell me what this piece actually is? i mean, beyond it being orchestral. I've tried looking for stuff like this everywhere with little success.

  • Am I the only one who's just stood in the Ebon Hold for a moment to just listen to this and take it all in? Whenever I hear this I always picture Arthas walking down the streets of Lordaeron about to murder his father. He is still there, yet he has already begun to be consumed by the darkness. It makes me want to break down crying for a lost relative...

    Props to Blizzard. They're so perfect with the music scores they've put into the game. It makes it just that much more fantastic.

  • An Karanir Thanagor.

  • 0:34

  • Comment removed

  • All that I am: anger, cruelty, vengeance - I bestow upon you, my chosen knight. I have granted you immortality so that you may herald in a new, dark age for the Scourge.

    Gaze now upon the lands below us. The Scarlet Crusade scurries to undo my work, while Light's Hope stands defiantly against us -

  • @gerillamotherf a blemish upon these Plaguelands. They must all be shown the price of their defiance.

    You will become my force of retribution. Where you tread, doom will follow. Go now and claim your destiny, death knight.

  • Comment removed

  • Every time that particular melody starts (0:37 in this video) I always picture Arthas, walking through the frozen, barren land surrounding his throne. To know I've killed him and he'll soon be a distant memory is kinda sad :(

  • The bells at 2:44 always give me the shivers... Just the two tolls, sounds so melancholy and fitting with the rest of what's going on.

  • it would be cool if now bolvar sends the scourge againts deathwing :P

  • @ichko3 im not sure if its true but someone said that the lk will help u vs deathwing, because LK wants to rule the world and deathwing wants to destroy it, makes sence tbh lol

  • I get deeply into works of fiction, especially in video games where I can essentially be among the story, and I have to say, I get really touched by Arthas' story every time I hear this O Thanagor melody that plays a lot in Wrath. Such an amazing epic story of sadness, betrayal and corruption.

  • The thing i dislike about WoW is the outcome after Warcraft 3. I mean, Warcraft 3 had 4 campaigns, and three of them was continued in WoW.

    WoW made you pick between the Horde and Alliance, and while they shoved Night elves into the Alliance and " Forsaken " as Horde. The Forsaken aren't the Undead you played as through the biggest part of the game.

    You played /as/ The Scourge, and played through Arthas becoming the Lich King. In WoW you can't continue that story like the rest.

  • i got some tales maybe the viewers may like it,

    here it goes:

    There was a boy,living peacefully with his family in a little town,

    The kid decided to take a different step in live and decided to follow his friend to become one of the royal guards of stormwind, they first thoughed both of them could'nt become a knight but when impressed the king himself both of them became the royal knights of stormwind,they worked for more hen 5 years and became full grown(age 30),Next page

  • @gerillamotherf The knights both missed theyr familly's so much that they have decided to pay a visit, but the time they were packing suddenly the call of apocalipse came, what they saw wasnt normal, They were fighting Undead they've never foght before, The battle went on and at the end the city was half corupted, the king ordered to purge the people who got corrupted because those people were the palladins of the city, so they saw how so many people got killed by theyr own race, next page

  • @gerillamotherf After purging the whole city they both lost theyr minds and were send immidiatly to the pope of the city, they managed to become normal again, so they still left the city,not only to visit theyr familly's but also out of fear.

    But when they got back to Southshore, they found out that the whole town got purged by the undead, thinking the thoughts that it all was theyr faults they whent after the trace left behind, arriving at Strahnbrad they were ambushed by the undead, next page

  • @gerillamotherf taken captive they saw cages full of people asing for help,

    they were brought to the reason the undead attacks were unleashed,

    they brought them to theyr leader(name unknown),

    but he was looking familiar, realizing he was a kid who always was getting bullied in school, the deathknight ordered to open the cages were the familly's got captive and let them all come before him, before the plans begun the mother of the boy sayed:"I am proud of you" Next page

  • @gerillamotherf The deathknight ordered the plans and he started to talk,

    He sayed:"after years of bullying, after all you've done to me, i waited for my revenge so i joined the GREAT leader himself and found my destiny. Finally revenge will be mine". so he raised his sword and chopped the headsof theyr beloved ones and turned them into ghouls, send the ghouls to fight them they had no choice but to slay them, the deathknight opened the portal... next page

  • @gerillamotherf and sayed they could find him at the acherus above Eastern lordaeron , they first thoughed it was a trap but after they've heared that one of the guys's little brother was taken captive they had no choice but to go to acherus,

    now a beautyfull place lordaeron supported the knights the reaching Acherus theyr minds begun to freeze, they cared for nothing, they wanted no revenge suddenly they heared a voice echoes from far, saying they have come this far.Next page

  • @gerillamotherf theyr minds starded to become controlled, seeing arround them turn to evil, entering Corin's crossing they are beeing fooled by theyr own brains and started to see normal people in the undead, not realizing it were normal people they've slaughtered everyone even the little ones,consuming every soul theyve stolen,Turning darker with every kill, they were picked up by the deathknight told before saying these words:"The great lord was right,both of you are the supreme". Next page

  • @gerillamotherf Now realizing it was the little brother inthat helm,

    Out of last rage the brother took his sword scarring his longues making him a slow painfull death,Theyr brains now functioning normal again seeing the town they've purged the deathkight(little brother) infront of him , saying his last words: "welcome my brother,welcome to your destiny. I was a decoy to turn both of you... into kights.... DEATHKNIGHTS. summoned to the lord, next page

  • @gerillamotherf now fully become deathknights, both of the guys starting to learn, and understand the true power of the Deathknights, they now become the killing machines they were supposed to be...

    Chedzo/Nordrassil

  • 0:28 - 1:21 is cool.

  • that gregorian choir gives me goosebumps, even after the 2039840934 th time i hear it.

    i love gregorian choirs!

  • @xxxblackvenomxxx Me too. It's so eerie but at the same time beautiful.

  • It's just an alternate version of the opening cinematic theme.... still amazing

  • I love Death Knights, simply because they have they're own story line and it is rather interesting. Aswell as they're just complete ownage :D

  • This is just so.... Deathly.

  • Beautiful, yet haunting. I feel pretty inspired, but sad as well.

  • I believe the ebon hold is like the last memory of the Lich King, and the song plays to remind people of the tradegy of Arthas, Paladin of the Silver Hand and Prince of Lordearon, who's soul was stolen by Frostmourne and his body formed with Ner'zhul's, the Lich King's, soul. He was finally released upon the breaking of Frostmourne, but died soon afterwards.

  • @Darkcreed501

    Ner'Zhul's soul was destroyed by Arthas, and that of Matthias Lehner's was banished of that body. Arthas's soul was still there, but the Sword and the Helm (Or Yogg'Saron?*)still controlled him. When the Sword(Frostmourne) was destroyed, and the Helm fell off his head, he was finally free.

    *He wasnt killed, only defeated.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes it reminds of the tragedy of Arthas but also reminds of the tragic fate of all Death Knights, most of which were given no choice but to become masters of undeath and plague, a force to be reckoned with. Fallen warriors of exceptional skill and determination who were created to advance Arthas's plans to eradicate all life on Azeroth. That is why even though most of the Death Knights champion righteous causes, they are still seen as a threat to the world and sometimes even despised.

  • @Darkcreed501 well if his soul was released after the destruction of frostmourn, then we shouldn't have killed him. he should have gotten a second chance to become a human again. the ending was really sad. even though i play horde, i would have liked to see arthas become the leader of the alliance.

  • @azabevojdan well frostmourne controlled him so he had no way to get a second chance

  • @azabevojdan it seems like it should not be over. How the Alliance didnt give him a chance, he never wanted to be the bad guy anyways. They could have atleast given him a fountian in stormwind in his honor or something. The one in Dal is just for everyone who "suffered from the scourge"

  • @Darkcreed501 May he rest in peace. When Arthas died, I stopped playing.

  • the best part in my opinion is from 1:25 - 2:40 its just so deep music

  • @exxert I agree

  • I love being a Deathknight, i mean we got our own floating crib in the air thats just beyond me :)

  • @Greeneyebribe96 i know right:) and the coolest blue eyes ever. I dont have a hearthstone, actually.

  • It is such a creepy, desperate and lonely feeling if you ride slowly trough the destroyed and lost New Avalon when you listen to this. Especial from 0:37 to 1:09

  • Who doesn't love Invincible tributes? And WTF? 1 dislike? Bastard...

  • this song calls out to me, telling me to come back to WoW TT_TT

  • so beautiful

  • Oooohhh... Makes me wanna level a Death Knight all over again.

  • @JewTubeIsForFaggots I agree my friend, i agree. :P

  • 1:03 to 1:09 oh my musicgasm<3

  • its give's me chills. wow.

  • makes me wanna move to north or south pole,and sit frozen in a chair gazing into the darkness

  • @alch12288 Youll die bruh :P

    But i guess thats appropriate then right? (being like arthas and all haha)

  • The king's theme

  • Darion Morgrain FTW i wish m room had this song as the theme that'd be epic :)

  • 1:31 is where my favorite part begins ; it sounds bad ass

  • .....

    vocals at 0:52 are very haunting.

  • Why do we need to debate things like this? Why can't we all just put aside our differences and just listen to the music, listen to what the melodies and rythems tell us in their weaving of stories untold, instead of debating the Scourge and Forsaken

  • the beginning of the song is so awesome, 0:33 . the mix of chant and the cellos and violins. awesome. just wish i wasnt cut off.

  • I've always been a great fan of the lore around the Scourge...

    Until the Lich King's downfall was introduced.

    It was as bad as if the producer's of LOTR would suddenly put a rickroll before the end of the movie.

    Such an awesome tale, but how terrible an ending.

  • Perfect song for this zone.

    It has a deep sense of betrayal behind it.

    There are also touches of "Arthas my Son" hidden in it.

    5 stars.

  • @Gormaoul

    the thing is, that we may say: about 5 milliards of scourge members, wich are undead and something like that. believe me, when they just walk around on the streets and kill ONE human, that human becomes scourge, wich will say there are 2 scourge now. when it goes on in that way, we wont live long anymore. with the lich king it is more simple. he plans to take over the world in ONE hit, instead of attacking again and again. (yes he does sometimes attack again and again... see? thats it

  • 1:24 gives me chills....
