Diablo 1 Music Hell Theme [Soundtrack part 6/6]

[MythVids]

gawd when i entered lvl 16 i heared that song and it was like ".... allright... lets... do that :/.... naaah i think i have to go to town again first. you want to be prepared well..." damn i was so scared of diablo...

[JacksonXxXWaWa]

Goosebumps playing this as a kid and goosebumps watching this now

[UnbridledAtNightfall]

The beginning is like the "welcome to Hell" portion of the song. You know you're getting closer and the fights are becoming much tougher.

The drumming part makes me remember fondly of the black knights and Warlord of Blood coming to slaughter me.

And the last minute is that sudden realization that you're about to come face-to-face with the Devil himself. Will it be this staircase? Or the next? It was ominous, mysterious, and twisted.

[Jonasvalgo]

2:50

Too scary :(

[Chamillionaire61]

This Music in Diablo 1 was the best from all diablo games ever and the gameplay was nice too :DD

[femtokun]

Diablo was supposed to be frightning not "cool" (like D3) and the original Diablo team understood that very well.

Best game soundtrack ever...

[NosferatuAaacaado]

@femtokun diablo 2 was just as frightening where it was appropriate for it to be.

[NosferatuAaacaado]

however diablo 3 never will be

[WxsOnline]

Sad that Diablo 2 failed to bring back the horror of Diablo. Diablo 3 probably won't get any closer either, though it seems it will have an "epic" tone and crazy good atmosphere... just not the true horror this game had.

[NosferatuAaacaado]

@WxsOnline diablo 2 hell theme was despair, not horror

[Kunggi1]

@NosferatuAaacaado It was but it had many horror releated elements. It was just atmospheric

[NosferatuAaacaado]

@Kunggi1 how does it relate to the essence of my reply?

[Freedom21stCenturi]

As you descended the levels it gradually got darker, scarier, and harder. I actually felt like I was in the thick of evil while playing. I felt like if I stayed too long I could be corrupted and go insane.

[JacksonXxXWaWa]

never forget these goosebumps when i was scared to open the door to killed butcher or go down to last level the hell and fight with diablo !

[JacksonXxXWaWa]

feeling goosebumps ,good old days never returns its sad

[Sirimiel]

The oh-shit moment when you realize you're getting close... I was so scared I wanted to stop playing XD

[MrOnkL]

i should really go and buy this soundtrack..somewhere.

[Thakane]

mache grad eine präsentation für die schule und höre mir nebenbei diablo soundtracks durch, einfach nur chillig und stört auch nicht bei der arbeit.

[PlayaSnoop77]

@Thakane me too, der Soundtrack ist einfach klasse :)

[cassandra5322]

Creepy, that feeling you get then when you realized you were in the company of Lucifer. THE final boss.

[Elvis1237]

i was so fucking scared back in '96 or '97

diablo 1 surely has one of the best soundtracks ever.

[elgordoselavacila]

this reminds me the eternal raids to hell rescuing back my corpse,

this music torment me for many nights in a row. this game captured the essence of hell itself on this soundtrack. how come that there are not so satanic and evilier games than this one?

[JacksonXxXWaWa]

@elgordoselavacila great comment older was better this times everything is color and 3d.

[Natureworld1986]

Diablo ist ein Kultspiel, die Musik kann man einfach nur mögen

[zeppelin812]

I'm listening this music everyday. don't laughing))) matt uelman always with me.

[TheAKimboJack]

I was 4 years old the first time I beat him with a warrior. The happiest of memories :D.

[Marukka]

The last minute is so creepy. But sooo athmospheric :)

I love this game forever. Great Game!

[Lachdananite]

listening to this at night is really freaky, this is one of the few games that actually capture the essence of hell in its music.

[vanishy0urself]

I love that happy-go-lucky part closer to the end that's mixed in with creepy sounds, giving it an unnerving effect... "why did it suddenly become so much happier?"... and then yet more musical darkness.

Probably the creepiest music in the game, Tristram and Caves are my favorites for awesomeness, but this is just creepy and great...

[MethuPwnzlol]

: This song reminds me of someone walking through a portal to a new environment of fiery lava and tortured souls circling all around you while you try to flee but then the souls begin to pull you into the ground and you start to see demonic beings torturing the souls of the dying. All of the sudden one of the souls calls your name and you look straight at it his glare pierces into your body as he paralyzes you in place, then torturing your soul until you become evil. I have problems I know.

[VendPrekmurec]

@MethuPwnzlol this picture you've got came from the bible - it is a "mass hypnosis" as they (jews) put into your mind...

Suffice it to say that everything what modern teachings say about "angels" and "demons" is a lie. Perverted illusion. The entities of "light" can be more "demonic" than "dark ones".

[Dogslax3333]

i remember I had to prep before going to the butcher because I was so scared haha... I was 9 lol

[illidur]

@metzGRR it was the first one. it wasn't when it was being made. computer games or video games in general weren't popular back then because they would " fry your brain". you must be young.

[illidur]

its sad that good things become mainstream then turned to shit. (aka diablo 3)

[LilAnZaC143]

i still play this game to this day, u know a game is good when u can just play it over and over again, i forgot how freaky this music is with headphones and my back facing the door

[chrissjg]

blizzard doesnt understand... they are trying to make a bigger game and even the music is sounding like wow thats NOT what we want we want a creepy ass game with creepy ass music and if they don't get it through their heads im not buying this game and they will miss out on my 60 or 70 dollars fuck blizzard and their 3thousand wow developers because diablo 3 only has 40 developers and starcraft.... who gives a fuck? only asians play starcraft?

[Nigtronikz]

Asians sure rove their Starcraft.

[Seiger95]

@chrissjg they dont want to make it for classic diablo fans, they just want to pull players from WOW

[shiftan]

WARNING: Do NOT listen to this at night

[chrissjg]

@shiftan lol

[VendPrekmurec]

@shiftan well i believe Diablo story has some truth behind...

already if we start with ancient Norse, Celtic, Slavic, Sumerian mythology

i will not tell you more, because i'll probably scare the shit out of you :)

[TheUnpromisedOne]

@VendPrekmurec I'd like to know more about it, to judge if it will scare the shit out of me/us.

On-topic: This song is scary as hell (no pun intended), especially from 2:30 onwards. This is definitely a fitting theme for Hell.

[netminderxp]

@VendPrekmurec Your mixing things from a much more complicated history than you might think.

[VendPrekmurec]

@netminderxp no jews have always mixed history/mixing history...

[VendPrekmurec]

@netminderxp jews are the biggest liars of the whole human history; The oldest written Hebraic Tanach (& Torah) is Leningradensis Codex (Leningrad Codex), which is available in museum of Saint Petersburg today. By estimation of vigorous analysis It was written in 1100 AD (after execution of Komnin). It was written in Byzantium by Sanhedrin of Isaak Angel and after destruction of Byzantium migrated to Tartaria (Russia).

[netminderxp]

@VendPrekmurec Well at least it seems like you've done a good bit of reading.

[VendPrekmurec]

@netminderxp not much ... 

[netminderxp]

@VendPrekmurec Then go to college like I did and read up on Western Civ, the Bible (on which my final paper was mostly based) and a myriad of other things (i.e. geography, psychology, political science, cultural geography, humanities, english, french, etc.) I'm now studying math in university so I'm a little rusty on these, but I've preserved most of my past work that I can refer to. I only know a fraction of a fraction of what there is to know. I'll leave it up to scholars. You should read.

[netminderxp]

@VendPrekmurec Ok sorry, I didn't look at your profile. Don't get defensive because I wasn't attacking you if you carefully read what I wrote. You remind me of a friend of mine who likes Native American Indians and nature, and has an unhealthy fear of the Bible (but I see you don't).

[Hogwee]

I was scared and looking forward at the same time to going deeper and deeper into underground. That's the magic of this game and music's fantastic. It is legendary game. Same as fallout, red alert 1, dune 2, sid meier's civilization, warcraft, duke 3d, half-life. Did I forget something? This all will be part of my childhood forever.

[willd3rbeast]

I can never tell if its a child crying or a goat calling out.

its rather chilling...

[VintageMustangs]

If you want a great RE-Experience, check out a mod for this called "The Hell". Hundreds of new items monsters and AI.

[blockprodukt]

when do people understand that diablo 1 is NOT about hundreds of more items and monsters. ever heard of less is more. that is what diablo 1 is all about. It´s about only one thing FEAR.

[hpholland]

Hell yes. Pun intended.

[Rohtix]

3:34 Starts to sound like silent hill

[renekenshin6573]

This game for me is still FTW

The music, story and gameplay is still awesome

unlike most of todays scary rpg's

[OverusedChewToy]

In Diablo, the shadows are always nearby. there's -always- darkness. Unlike in the sequels.

[Warcraft669]

This would also sound very good on a DooM wad especially the flute part hmmmm..........

[Da1337Man]

what makes d1 so scary is, knowing that your stuck down in hell, with nothing but your armor, sword&shield, n urself. and its up to you to kill diablo, and save the world.

ahhh the memories...

[JacksonXxXWaWa]

@Da1337Man Damm that was nice bro ;) i also liked to be in climate as this ,when i played diablo as a kid

[podziemnykosmos]

2:14-4:14 Epic scary part.

[DS9kov]

i love this game so fruggin much its nteven funny... acid spitter demons ... heres a tip get the flame wave spell ...

[ibreakkidslegs]

i only ever played the demo, and i never actually killed the butcher... i was too damn scared to open the door!!!!

[nestor4jesus]

me too XD

[aceduck1981]

I love that this game was awesome AND it pissed off Christians. It was funny back in the day hearing religious people bitch about this game when the WHOLE point was to go KILL evil, not love it or support it.

[maxvalch]

I love this person, they're so right about everything they just said

[Nothingnessiseternal]

I am a christian but I understand what you mean, aceduck1981 there are alot of hypocritical christians that get pissed off over anything and try to bash it. those are the same christians that go around trying to bash people across the head with a bible when they do something wrong, and are so quick to point out other's faults yet not their own

This is a pretty dope game, I personally like it's dark feel more than diablo 2. in diablo 2 your out in light alot, your in complete darkness here

[epicwarding]

stop useing maphack meaby you would see some dark places lol :P obiously you played with maphack so that u would see clearly everywhere , it takes off the weather effect and shadows

[Rangers8600]

BRUTAL

[BastiBerlin1980]

I was 16 when this came out and yes I was scared ;-)

[cynicaldemon]

I was 8 when my dad showed me the game. And yes, I was scared. REALLY scared.

[Rlucaciu]

The soundtrack for diablo 1 is absolutely amazing. I don't like the path blizzard took with this game. The second one is an awesome gaming experience, and I am sure the 3rd one will be great too. But since Diablo 1 nothing that blizzard developed has managed to give you goose bumps like the first diablo did.

[visom1]

maybe its because you grow older?

the difference between D1 and D3 is more than 10 years, I first played D1 when I was 8 and it scared me enough to play with the volume lowered or off

now I'm 19, I played D1 again just for memories with normal volume and I only jumped like once or twice during the entire game and its hardly scary for me

[whiterottenrabbit]

It is not only the fact that you're growing older, it is also the influence of all the stuff what is going on today. For example: 20 years ago, horror flicks like A Nightmare on Elm Street were considered scary; today we need fucked up shit like Saw to be scared. Same thing with the sexuality: stuff you see today everywhere wasn't even shown late at night some time ago.

The humanity is kinda becoming dull.

[oosjo2]

lol Nightmare on Elm Street was scary and still is, saw is not.

[Rangers8600]

the hell lvl was a lot darker than the D2 one

[Gonnakillyou]

The whole game was darker and generally grimmer than D2.

[stefanbuza]

my first RPG, i was soooo little and so fucking scared

[DuckMilitia]

LOL SAME HERE!

I was like... maybe 8.

[Gamervidsman2000]

haha yeah the butcher was a beast back then lol

[ExtraSpicy121]

damn straight same goes for some of those unique monsters in Catacombs and lvl 4 in labyrinth

[Horlitz]

The only thing that is horrible is the grammar on this page. But the music is still good.

[fedorhotabich]

perfect music

[funkeymonkey4112]

I remember this with the death screams of blood knights, succubi and the mages. God I hate those mages. =(

[hpholland]

They're the scariest with their hats.

[realflex89]

The fear i felt as a small kid the first time i steped into diablos domain still haunts me this day when i hear this Fucking AMASING soundtrack. Wery dark and deep endeed!!!! so wery true..

[TranceSFX]

Can't agere more. This game is too legendary for its own good; how many games do we know that were as brilliantly crafed and evil as this back then? Diablo is second to NONE.

[kippetjeuh1]

dude... i just hear myself talking... im still afraid of diablo 1 rofl, especially the music in hometown(forgot the name)

[GDevourer]

Tristram

[borzo30]

@realflex89 you shouldn't play that as kid;p bodies of dead women, topless demons from hell, satanic imagenery and fighting with insane priest Lazarus would turn your psycho down;p by the way i played it to as a kid;p and i may only say now as 21 years old woman- no regrets!!!!;p

[vanishy0urself]

@borzo30 the music. It's the music and only the music. When I was a kid, someone gave me a pirated version with all music/voices cut and I was pretty OK with actually going through it.

The Hellfire-only music was still there though. I'm 5 years old. Cut to "Hive", cut to music, cut to the freaky text at the beginning, cut to my first encounter with "The Shredded". I darted out like a bat out of hell. Even after a massive level-grinding, I was still afraid of that music. I got used to it, though.

[Marlfox70]

@realflex89 Try opening the door to the butchers room when you're 4. =[

[DigitalLameFan]

This theme is so deep and dark. Love it

[spartan8247]

This reminds me of the first time I kicked Diablo's ass back to oblivion! thx for uploading

[cynicaldemon]

Perfect track, love every bit of it.

Thanks for uploading this! :)

[ryanstang003]

brings back some memories :)
