Zul'Drak General Music

[widdlywhee]

I remember reading about Zul'Drak when the Beta was out, and I was so excited for this zone. And what can I say, when I first got there myself, I was not disappointed.

[fealmor]

whos american here? can some1 tell me if this is mayan or aztec or mexican culture?

[DranweRagetotem]

@fealmor i think it looks like mayan and aztec some sort of together, after my opinion... but i got no clue on dead cultures and dead language and sutch all i know is that in some part of mexico a litle town or something speaks mayan... dunno if it's true tho, but aztec got no bloody clue... sorry m8. but i know one thing, mayan and aztec crumbled , dunno if it's the right word for it, but crumbled together is pretty awesome, fits the music and sutch :->

[koalabunga]

@fealmor Aztecs capital city Tenochtitlan was situated right under Mexico City so Mexican culture is in fact the Aztec culture. As to the question, which culture Zul Drak is, I would say it is closer to the Maya but thats only because I have only attended to the Maya religion course yet. As far as I know, every pyramid tried to resemble a nearby sacred mountain and every pyramid was built like a mountain with an inner structure inside which served as a cave. I study religions btw :)

[fealmor]

@koalabunga awsom, thanks :) i love this ^^

[koalabunga]

@fealmor I love Zul Drak too :) mainly the irony behind its story. Trolls sacrificed their gods to become powerful enough to defend themselves becoming equally disgusting and dangerous like the Scourge they were trying to fend off. In result they destroyed their own culture, desecrated their land and grown power hungry just like the Lich King who, having nothing else to do, just kept increasing his power and extending his reign over an empty kingdom and literally empty people...

[fealmor]

this place was done so well. the skies the place and everything... gotta hand blizz some credit for that..

[anamoebacorn]

Awesome selection to listen to on Halloween ;)

[DarkXsun100]

if all troll factions are united they wood rule they wood rule Azaroth

[mrMein]

This is 1 of the main reason why i like Northrend/troll theme.

[Elyyees]

I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!

[migcosta17]

Coolest zone music...Without any doubt. It fits Zul'Drak perfectly.

[DrBoo1982]

Northern Stranglethorn, Northern Barrens and Zul'Drak are my favorite zones in WoW. The music, the setting and the atmosphere... excellent!

[LordEntelius]

Zul´Drak is the best zone in WoW.

[griffknox]

Absolutely loved riding into this zone for the first time..Can't quite put my finger on it...there's something almost surreal about the atmosphere that I wish I could explain

[bookercreator]

Sometimes when I walked into a new zone i just went O_O ...this wasnt one of them.. but i do like it.

[MrGab600]

i love this music

[dewmayne]

i miss this game so much

[ntabiblaze]

this zone and Grizzly Hills have the BEST zone music in WOTLK 3rd place in wow being "welcome to orgrimmar" songs from Cata >.>

[Icedone100]

epic drum action.

[BloodnXyGameReviews]

did anyone else feel a bit uneasy when they started levelling here and heard the music for the first time?

[Collected23]

I see now...Scourge was not our greatest enemy.'

[Oromis0011]

3:09 is the best by far.

Such amazing drum work

[Chrysaetos11]

This zone has the 'evil' factor.. the music, atmosphere, an old race fighting desperate against the scourge, some getting converted along the way..

[PrinceDeNeufchatel]

@Chrysaetos11 Strongly Agreed. Sometimes I felt better having a wolf or bear with my dwarf hunter to quest with in this zone. And I remember "plenty" PvP battles here as well which made me more alert. I think both factions really got a kick questing and confronting opposed factions in this cool atmosphere while listening to a good track=]

[pandaquakes]

why is it that on the comments of vids that have music people argue? Just enjoy the music!

[gammo700]

There's something strangely relaxing about this music...

[doxi101]

as soon i walked in here i thought what i would get as enemy was: mutated voodoo doctors summonning mojo drenched ghouls from the ground.

what did i get? :naked trolls with their tongue hanging out of their mouths walking around like they had a beer too much.

[narrat0r12]

Threatening...

[smasherwespp]

reminds me when i wanted to kill the big giant walking there .. lol me and my dreadfull level 78 Death Knight

[GeekyGerald]

This was another track that fit its zone perfectly. The questing experience may not have been the greatest, but the atmosphere was unmatched.

[Skandalos]

somebody should make a dance track out of this one

[RyvernRaigon]

LOL this place is my favorite zone of Northrend because of the music, it fits perfectly with everything in that place.

[Trisscarr]

@RyvernRaigon Same.

[Azshader80]

Such entrancing music i lose track of time when i play there.

[somerandomdude001]

reminds me of some zone i Zelda OoT

[Theownera]

This was by far my favorite zone in WOTLK

[Pyrofreak321]

worst zone in wotlk, this and icecrown. the rest are mind blowing

[Shaeam]

@Pyrofreak321 Whats the matter? Afraid of a few trolls?

[khatack]

@Pyrofreak321

Actually this is one of the better zones; right after Howling Fjord and Grizzly Hills.

[lamitatro]

@khatack I actually found Howling Fjord very boring so I switched to Borean tundra

[khatack]

@lamitatro

Borean tundra was a despicable pile of shoveltusk droppings! A horrible horrible layout combined with a disgusting scenery!

[lamitatro]

@khatack If you think you changed me opinion you are sadly mistaken. And no Borean Tundra does not have bad scenery. Howling Fjord if honestly one of the most boring places in wow I have been to and is my least favourite in NR. Borean tundra is very fun to quest in and its scenery is perfect for what it is. It's a tundra what do you expect? Also you provided no evidence as to why it is so "horrible" so ... that was just stupid. I love Borean Tundra, I hate Howling Fjord. Deal with it.

[khatack]

@lamitatro

I'm not trying to change your opinion, merely pointing out how wrong it is.

[badintentions2]

@khatack he's not 'wrong'. people feel an affiliation with different parts of this amazing game and if it works for them then that's all it needs to be.

it's like music, it's subjective.

[khatack]

@badintentions2

Except that the game sucks. It's like tobacco; it smells bad, it tastes bad, it makes you feel sick, it damages your health, and after all that you're expected to pay money for it. Some people like it yeah, but I strongly question their mental capacity.

WoW is like that. It's utterly boring, unrewarding, time consuming and it has a negative effect on your health and social life, and on top of that you're expected to pay for it. If you feel that's a good deal, you're an idiot.

[badintentions2]

@khatack online judgements are easy - especially if it's a game you've already played in the past.

which you have.

judging by the comments on your page i only have one piece of advice for you, and i doubt you're going to listen - to each their own, and anyone who has to go on a 'crusade' to pull down other people just because you grew out of a game that you once enjoyed needs to get laid and have friends in real life.

all you're telling meright now is you're unhappy

[khatack]

@badintentions2

Nah, I'm not unhappy. Merely bored at times. Still, what I said about WoW is true; it is boring as hell. Unless you consider repeating the same overly simple pattern over and over again to be interesting. I'm not on a crusade, merely provoking reactions from people for my own amusement.

I too have an advice for you: don't take anonymous youtube comments so seriously.

[badintentions2]

@khatack you are unhappy and you're also full of cliches. you also play alot of games, you don't have a girlfriend, and when you do play you spend half your time being an online persona to compensate for who you are.

trust me - you're unhappy.

if i was wrong, you wouldn't be a 26 year old who's afraid to test himself in life, and so he imitates 15 year old trolls instead. believe it or not, manhood is part of your natural progression - but you're a long way from finding that out. good luck

[khatack]

@badintentions2

Amazing insight for someone who has never actually met me. I would raise my hat for you if I wore one.

But then again, we all make do with what we've got don't we? After all, being a troll isn't so bad; you can regenerate lost limbs and don't feel pain. Just stay away from acid, and especially flames and you'll be fine.

[badintentions2]

@khatack it doesn't take amazing insight to know what sort of person you are.

infact it's crystal clear.

one day you might decide to take a chance in real life, get a girlfriend, some character and self-esteem and you'll realise how easy it is to read fake people.

and no - you're not making do with what you've got.

you just don't believe in yourself nearly enough to test those limits.

[khatack]

@badintentions2

You sound like you speak from experience, judging from how long this dialogue has kept you interested enough to keep writing. A random fake troll can't be *that* interesting, so the experience must be fairly recent.

Since you've so readily given me advice, I'll give you one in return: there is still more to learn from where you were.

You actually sound a lot like a certain friend of mine. Amazing how fast people are to pass judgement on their own past failings isn't it?

[badintentions2]

@khatack but you're not random. i bet you can't even remember the last time you played online and didn't try to get a bite from people. the only people that do that - the only ones - are bored teenagers with no sex life.

you're 26 years old and you still do it.

you can't buy self-respect and character, champ, so why the fuck don't you show a little backbone and make something of your life?

because all you're doing right now is making yourself smaller

[khatack]

@badintentions2

Now now, there's no need to be so rude. A less understanding person might have been offended. In all seriousness though, I see that you like to take the moral high ground to shield you. You make assumptions and force feed them to your target.

Get your facts straight: you don't know me, you don't know what kind of achievements I have made nor what kind of problems I struggle with. If you're genuinely interested then send me the PM you were talking about, otherwise stop trolling

[vvbn7890]

@khatack Can you tell me all about you? Im interested and need to add something to my spank bank

[badintentions2]

@khatack PM me next time. people don't want to read this but you need to wake up fast and find out who you are in life...PM me

[Herttaseiska]

just gotta love the bells in the background!

[MrNeckshot]

this is the sound of ancient dark secrets that are held with a civialzation, lost in since time unknown, built by mighty hands yet still fallen to darkness and mysterie

[Moragauth]

I love this area's music when you fight Novos the Summoner. It's very well suited to fighting a Lich, especially one who sounds as frigid as that one. "The chill you feel is the herald of your doom."

[KuyaSanya1]

Gondria Here I come !!!

[Tekaneable]

If gods can die... then so can we.

[CaCSouthPark]

Thats it ! me be makin Troll shaman !

[beefchorizo]

@CaCSouthPark lol i love mines. i think that's the best race/class combo lorewise.

[Nypenguin1]

This is stuck in my head

[Stonex987]

Great one! Thanks for uploading.

Stonex

[Jimbothenoob]

Zul'Drak was what it took to finally make trolls interesting.

[Araaxj]

I loved leveling in Zul 'Drak I mean you get to ride a freaking Giant :P

[Nhordmyr]

gah, i loved ZD! reminded me of the plaguelands ;-)

[hrvojestipetic]

@Nhordmyr

More precisely, a combination of Plaguelands and Azshara (at least the lower part of the zone). :)

[Nhordmyr]

@hrvojestipetic so you named my two favorite areas in Vanilla WoW. Azshara oh dear, this brings up memories with the sunset and autumn-like feeling

[hrvojestipetic]

@Nhordmyr Yeah, Azshara is very dreamy. Let's hope the goblins know what to do with it. :D

[QtipRocketLauncher]

One of the less interesting Zones to me. Much rather stick to Scholazar Basin.

But I do enjoy the music.

[badintentions2]

shame it hasn't got the grinding 'incentives' nagrand has..love both these areas but i will return to both easily anyway!

[BAwesomenessB]

Omfg this makes me remember the shitty time I had lvling in Zul'Drak xD

[Greeneyebribe96]

Knowing the trolls they probably would make every drug legal in their civilization.

[tonby]

So we had jungle trolls, forest trolls, dying ice trolls.

What trolls will we kill in Cataclysm?

No, leave Rastakhan alone.

[pcadnezbite]

@tonby If they put in Rastakhan and the rest of the Zandalari along with their island, it should all be accessible just to Trolls.

[Skandalos]

Fits extremely well to the zone. A bit too depressing maybe.

[badintentions2]

@Skandalos i don't find it depressing at all. fits in nicely with my 'lost and alone in the world' levelling ideal ;)

[petersrg2]

glad they kept some troll in this game...hmmm

[nihilofilia]

I've been listening to this the last 2 hours or more...

[PsychedelicDragon]

It's amazing how they made Zul Drak a mezo-american metropolis lol. It's so big! So much architecture every inches of it.

[drpeppa2357]

Lalalala, Well, so long Grizzly Hills! Lalala...what..wait...what's this..? OH GOD!!! THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN ON ME!!...

[Pyrofreak321]

i hate this zone the most from WotLK. just drove me insane

[AidanMclaren]

@Pyrofreak321

The quests are terrible, I admit, but the music and atmosphere is one of the best in the game.

[SaintsRow0007]

Zul'Drak music is the best ever in Wotlk.Nothing from this addon can top that.

[jcasher2010]

lets all dance the troll way GOGO STARTING FROM 3:13

[WowFanatic1100]

Zul'Drak music defeats the purpose of staying in grizzly hills. As soon as someone knows this music it is, bye hills, Hellooooooo Zul Drak!

[xXxXxxOnePiecexxXxXx]

Trolls and trolls music are the besttt

[Muirselgas]

Zuldrak quests were awesome but the place was too depressing for me

[shaokan777]

@Muirselgas extremely depressing indeed.

[zigzag789789]

Duskwood is my all time favorite place to quest and the music/atmosphere. Hence why I love Zul ' Drak so much, they are kind of related.

Elwynn has awesome music aswell, always reminds me of discovering wow for the first time, and just exploring and doing really noob things.

[badintentions2]

@zigzag789789

yeah i love duskwood too.

for lower level areas (before both factions hit stranglethorn) i love the ally areas most hands down.

i love that 'lost alone in the world feel' that comes with some areas too, and also meeting and helping strangers during those travels !

[sharpnova2]

may i slice your ballsac seem?

[badintentions2]

i've just come back from living in europe for 5 years (i'm in australia now)| and DAMN! i miss this game and the feel it has.

i'll be starting a mage from scratch when i get a new PC around mid-march, but i sure could use the name of a good server if anyone can recommend one that isn't overpopulated (normal server please).

thanks.

[kelthanius]

@badintentions2

Why can't you play WoW in Europe? O.o

[badintentions2]

now that i'm living in australia it seems to make more sense to play on US servers, since there are more (oceanic) players there for instancing and raid groups.

otherwise, if i kept playing on EU servers, 4-5am there is about 8pm here, so i wouldn't get many grouping opportunities.

i like the idea of starting again with nothing anyway, just a shame i'll lose my 'champion' old pvp title :(

[Fantasyperson]

@badintentions2

Proudmoore is a good choice for aussies, granted you play alliance. Population may be a little high though.

[badintentions2]

@Fantasyperson

thanks for the tip.

fingers crossed i'll have my PC up and running in a couple of weeks.

can't wait to start my adventures again.

[diasflac69]

@badintentions2

PERENOLDE!

CLEAVE EDGE IS HAWT.

[andreasknul]

jeadnar

[HamletTangerine]

This music always has reminded me of walking into a (haunted) Egyptian tomb

[thirion1850]

Sends chills down my spine. God hunters indeed...

[clayzee001]

love this place its so full of atmosphere! the music adds to it

[Westy543]

This is probably my favorite zone in World of Warcraft, between the msuic and the setting... and I remembe flying by Thrym as this music was playing and seeing THE HOPE ENDER, and got chills... it's so epic.

[nihilofilia]

@Westy543 Yes I remember the first time I saw Thrym and I though WHAT DA FUCK MON.

[tyrant6of6genocide]

@Westy543 yea the first time i seen him i owned him so i guess i took his title lmfao XD

[Carl97xD]

hmm i wish that when u start a new char,and choose to play as troll u could choose between being big instead of these bony trolls

[Kaarlo]

This song makes me really sad for trolls. Once rulers of the world, now fighting desperate losing battle between two too great powers... :(

[SuperMrSunshine]

Anyone know the name of the flute-ish sort of instrment that starts up at 1:47?

[DomainUnavailable]

@SuperMrSunshine sounds like it might be an oboe.

[theacut]

It's even creepier when you remember that these trolls sacrificed their own gods to gain their powers. If you go to some of the altars you can see the dead gods like the snake one.

[lightdiviner]

Da trolls gonna make you into mojo! You head gonna be de' ornament on me necklace!

[supahfly1972]

Das right, mon! You be listenenin to what he be sayin!

[ChaosMusic718]

hate the scourge! its all kil'jaeden's fault

[RedPoppy22]

Zul'Drak is my favorite. I love the music, the terrain and the quests.

[djokovic666]

All the zones of Northrend have a charming, gorgeous, fantastic and fascinating background music/general theme...I couldn't choose between them, they are simply amazing. Simply priceless. All my thanks to Blizz.

[Mnaxz]

For me, that's the best music of wow. It brings me somewhere else

[hrvojestipetic]

absolutely amazing.

pagan and mesmerizing.

[RikaDragonKon]

Always makes me think of the troll Drakuru. I loved that quest, but I felt betrayed. xD

[DarrynTheStrange]

I want to play a Drakkari Troll :<

Darkspears are just a bunch of stupid stoners who get high in there jungle mud huts.

Drakkari be havin' a kickass Empiah an everyting mon, Blizzah'd best be maken dem mighteh powah'fal Drakkareh ah playahbul race. Eef dat be happenin' den me wud speel mah mojo all ovah mahself en excitahmont, mon.

[AidanMclaren]

American slang like "kickass" doesn't go with jamaican-like speech...at all.

[weztc04zt]

When i reach this place i really loved to read the quest log , normaly i wouldn't do that...

i hope blizzard will make more of these regions.

[weztc04zt]

Who rules this land now? Drakkari or Scourge?

And who WILL rule this land and who will die?

i think drakkari are losing this battle but idk...

[90210411]

I wonder if I can kill that big stanky troll with the freed giant.

[jeverbever]

Creeeeepy! But awesome.

[90210411]

This music's downright psychoactive, it's a great change from the rest of the music (which is all amazing too).

[bamba02]

Lok' TAr!!!! This is God HUnters Lich King Soundtrack or?

[unrealeck]

Yeah similar track, same music though.

[SithPuppy]

Def one of my favourite Northrend Zones. The place is basically one massive fortress, and you just know the scorge is in control when you get there.

That and the music ROCKS!!!

[Felfury]

Actually SithPuppy, the scourge are NOT in control here...the farthest they got in Zul'Drak is that crashed necropolis.

[sockattack1]

FOR THE HORDE BLOOD AND THUNDER!!!!

[Neakal]

I love those drums that come midway through.

[AidanMclaren]

This music, plus area, plus terrifying looking undead trolls equals very scary place!

[HeatherKazora]

Makes me shiver, made me already shiver when questing there, with all the undead trolls and spiders and half-baked Naxxramas... and Thrym coming from behind and killing you while you are regenerating mana :D

[Helmuten12]

Pls tell me , this is zone what i dont know anything ;/ . Trolls fail war with ud? They have traitors or something?

[marioman890]

the drakkari is soo cool :D i love zul'drak along with all the "zul" places :) i hope they make a drakkari raid!!!

[neosteve51]

Most Likely.... There a Bigg ass FOrtress with no way to get in... Might turn into a raid

[HalfVampire87]

icecrown is cool, zuldrak is plain creepy

[CJDownz]

Yeah, this song gives me the creeps every time I'm in Zul'Drak... that and Thrym the Hope Ender... So freaky.

[QBisbest]

The noseless Trolls were the worst part for me.

[tzehunter94]

Zul'Drak is awesome:X

[tuvull]

The music in Wow WOTLK is by faaaar the bast music i have ever heard in ANY game.. and the zul'drak music is the best of them all. Gives me the creeps, i feel like im in 'Apocalyptica' every time im there

[QBisbest]

Agree, the area is very strange

[Nagoragama]

I agree; I always thought the atmosphere and the music gave the whole area an apocalyptic vibe like the whole world is about to end. Just look at the sky.

[Spartan10169]

Same here! I always thought that this zone had the deepest atmosphere in Northrend.

[SaberScorpion]

@tuvull Although I prefer the Burning Crusade music to Lich King in general, I agree that the Zul'Drak music rocks. Sometimes I fly through just to hear the music.

[Expl0rati0n]

@SaberScorpion

I'm definitely the same saber. Loved BC music, and Zul'drak is the only one from WotLK that I actually liked.

[HeroofTimeLink]

Many thanks for this. The music from Zul'drak has often been an inspiration to me when writing stories, especially for contests and the like. However, if I may ask, could you perhaps post the Gun'drak music (which I believe is a compilation of almost every troll song there is... so... *thumbsup*) Also, each Loa altar has its own chant. I'd recommend posting 2:30 for each altar (there are four) on a 10:00 vid. Thanks again!

Frostglare

[Nagaskingymsokk]

hmm.. i owe WOWmusicguru a big thanks for posting this, and the other soundtracks :) cheers! now, as everybody else i want to say , my favorites are: Howling Fjord , Grizzly , Sholazar and Storm peaks =3 truly, amazing..ive got all the soundtracks on my computer! <3

big thanks from: Leynar, Dunemaul EU server

[marioman890]

howling fjord and grizzly hills are pretty much the same music :P

[SeaOfTreachery6]

boreans music is pretty eerie too

[sixers2329]

zuldrak is the most immersive zone in wow, this music just gives you the feel your in a land ravaged by chaos that is completely falling to shreds

icecrown is cool, zuldrak is plain creepy

[rammsteinfreak4]

I hate questing in Zul'drak for some reason...I love the zone, but the quests just make me feel like I'm not playing a game...I'm working.

[TWENTYFOURJE]

this song scares the fuck out of me, lol.

[Stephan419]

My favorite quest area. I love zuldrak it really feels like this area is in the total grip of the Lich King and his Undead Troll Allies.

[TehLacerator]

'allies' implies they wanted to join his army...they got drafted through undeath. Although drakuru betrayed the Drakkari willingly and asks u 2 join him.

[QBisbest]

I find Zul'Drak the most creepy area in wotlk

[killerstump]

Soundtrack "God Hunters"

[Epimachus123]

Nice music, but Storm Peaks pwns everything Bliz ever made

[Argontus]

Mystical, ancient, sorrowful.

This theme is one of the most intriguing I've stumbled upon in the game. I really like it.

[MeijiJudo]

Yeah I love this zone. It kinda gives you sense of Dark Shamanism. Its almost like the land itself is about to swallow you.
