  • DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU FOR MAKING ME WANT TO RETURN

  • Kara<3

    Best thing ever.

  • omfg aww<3

  • Happy Valentine's Day to all Karazhan lovers! May this song remind you of the raider's love for this place... and for BC :3

  • I CAN PLAY THIS :)

  • my first time in Kara, the raid took 7 hours. We have a 70 healer, me (72 dps warrior), a 73 mage, and a 80 naxx-geared pally. I was completely blown away by this raid! By taking so long, you really get a chance to see all the scenery!

  • Ulduar = Most overrated raid of all time

  • @Parkerkun bullshit

  • @Parkerkun Looks like someone never got past the first boss....

  • almost sounds like the music at Dragon Roost Island In LOZ:WW in some parts (though not many)

  • Comment removed

  • i rememeber my first time entering karazhan i turned up the music and just soaked it in unforgettable

  • "Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, to this evening's presentation!"

    I will never forget you, Stage Master Barnes.

  • nothing beats karazhan D:< idc what u think but it was still better

  • Karazhan was one of the most fantastic raids of all of WoW. Whenever I describe it to people who've never run it (For shame, my friends) is... It was a story. It was a children's storybook, gone wrong. But not gone like 'bloody' wrong, just imagine that the big bad wolf actually got little red riding hood, or imagine that the wicked witch of the west got her way. That's how I describe this raid. This raid was utterly fantastic, unique, and amazingly fun.

  • You rang?

  • the best place ever, Please Blizzard, Bring Karazhan back to life and glory!

  • Best raid ever

  • nothing is everlasting not even WoW

  • 5 people got lost in the eternal hallways of Karazhan... :P

  • I played this song on organ at school and got a A+ 8D Thanks wow again for your help in my life!

  • 1:26 onward is the best XD . The theme has a cheery but dark mood

  • THIS IS THE BEST RAID EVER :D ILL NEAVER STOP LOVEING IT :D THUMBS UP IF U AGREE

  • Its always easy to tell when people are lying about playing during vanilla WoW just because they will say they missed it and how great it was. I played vanilla WoW and it wasn't nearly as good as Burning Crusade, whats so great about getting .5 fps through a long ass raid and having to split 4 items between 40 people,considering you even down the bosses, and having to buff each person 1 by 1. Burning Crusade was by far the best. I would never go back to Vanilla > >

  • @nashon1 I still miss Vanilla. Though, the raids at that time were AWFUL. I don't know much of BC raids, cause I took a break during the expansion. But you are right: There's nothing to be missed in those raids of ol' days. Or anything else really. Only thing I really miss from Vanilla was the lack of quest helpers. It was fun when you had to try and figure out everything without markers on the map.

  • @nashon1

    You obviously never played during vanilla. You didn't have to buff people 1 by 1. You only got low fps if your computer was trash. Raid loot wasn't an issue, because real guilds used DKP. Vanilla and TBC were both great. After that, the skill requirement was removed from the game and now it's just full of elitist kiddies that think they're somehow important because they can press the buttons in their rotation.

  • @Abysia You got low FPS on everything, I played a druid during TBC and unless you had a really good connection for the time, you lagged your ass off. TBC was kinda shit imo. Don't get me wrong, I miss it, but I'm glad Blizzard made the changes they did otherwise I wouldn't miss it and it would be the same old stuff (Obviously). As far as elitist jerks goes, that depends on your server and who you play with. My guild has done full FL and is working on heroic and we have a blast doing it.

  • Fingers in the top, if you're not gay. The fingers on the bottom or ignore it, something would have to prove to myself and everyone that you're gay.

  • @ninjo36 ok.. i click on finger down, because i'm gay. i'm gay. but i like this song. douchebag!

  • I hear this music and all I can remember is the 6 hours of SHEER FRUSTRATION my guild went through in Karazhan trying to kill Shade of Aran or whatever he was called. When you wipe for the 20th time and you hear this music over and over, it's enough to make one go insane.

    And yet other nights we just sailed through every single boss without a single wipe. Weird.

  • where do i find it in the WoW folders?

  • @xsjado22 You need MyWarcraftStudio to open the .MPQ Files and then look for .wav files(They are in the .MPQ)

  • This is something else, I will one day go to karazhan just because of this track.

  • @TheWizardFromNorway The raid Karazhan and that music came with TBC ;)

  • =( I miss going in kara and people would yell and scream when we did shade of aran

    

  • god u gotta miss bc

  • I do say! This brings back some fond memories, eh Fellows?

  • BC was the best i miss thoes times :(

  • Basicly Karazhan was one big fun haunted house fully of ghosties! it was awesome!

  • By far the best music of Karazhan. It gives the place such a great atmosphere. I miss the old raiding days, but I go back there all the time still and make sure the music is up loud and all the lights are off ^.^

  • <3

  • The Last Guardian anyone? =p

    <3 karazhan to every extent thanks to that book

  • i played this at my school talent show >.<

  • @diehard096 How'd it go?

  • @bickflick awesome!

  • @diehard096 In that case, Well Done!

  • @bickflick Danke!

  • Diabolic song ! I love it !

    

  • 4 guys didn't act well at the opera.

  • Karazhan... an instant classic.

  • Can someone tell me what genre of music this is?

  • @slotheron207 World of Warcraft!

  • @slotheron207 Gothic?

  • @slotheron207 I would also suggest looking up classical music pieces, with instrument called 'harpsichord' that would be the one which, you hear in the 1st theme, or closest one to it :)

  • Comment removed

  • @slotheron207 lol... genre XD ...ahem... it's a waltz played on 1. Harpsichord 2. Organ.

  • 3 guys didn't get passed through Moroes....pitiful...

  • @jmanavis Noone passes through me!

  • If I hear this, i must think about the dancing Ghosts in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

  • This music basicly tells you that you should either leave now, or end up dancing forever.. or.. well.. until 10 guys come along and kill you again, of course!

  • WoW used to be good what happened the new raids suck!

  • Karazhan... The most fucked up raid in WoW history...

    It's like a twist of haunted mansion and a mad house...

    O_O

  • Why does everybody think ulduar can ever get close to the awesomeness of karazhan?

  • Karazhan & Ulduar > all other raids in WoW

  • @DevoutSkeptic karazhan > ulduar

  • @BloodsailAdmiralTdk Karazhan is not as epic as Ulduar, as great as Karazhan is.

  • @DevoutSkeptic :) ok w/e u know karazhan is better tho :0 but w/e i cant force u to like it :( i feel sorry for fucks like u that cant see its better tho but w/e idc that much :( im sorry u cant see its better i would help u if i could

  • @BloodsailAdmiralTdk Ulduar was about stopping an Old God from destroying the world and stopping the creators of the universe from rebuilding Azeroth. Karazhan was about exploring an old tower and killing an unimportant demon. Karazhan was fun, but it wasn't as epic as Ulduar.

  • @DevoutSkeptic Malchezaar had acces to all realities and dimensions, only the fact that he controlled whole karazhan said that his power is kinda big. If not stopped, he would be able to destroy countless worlds for sure.

  • @DevoutSkeptic So true. Thanks.

  • play this and the organ theme together. Fucking EPIC at the same time

  • play this and the organ theme together. Fucking EPIC

  • Butler:

    -Wellcome to Karazhan, enjoy your stance. MUA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

  • Yeah i would say it sounds twisted, kind of like ghosts playing music... or evil clowns...

  • This will forever be the best raid in history of any game! Every single boss fight was unique. Every other raid on that game was very boring

  • @Sosekcjenni ulduar bro

  • I really miss karazhan /sob

  • can you host an mp3 version of this somewhere pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    I NEED THIS!

  • @NikkSixx92

    download( any video converter)

    and cut music to MP3 for any youtube video

    it's easy

  • It's not out of tune, they're just 'funky chords'

  • Once I did a karazhan with my friends and it took 7 hours. At the end the only reason why i didn't leave was the music :)

  • the people who desliked this are Hannah Montana fans

  • @TheSephiroth5

    Or people who moved during Flame Wreath. ROFL

  • i dont know but the 1st song doesent sound like an harp...more like one of those little pianos (cant remeber the name)

  • @WoWclan

    One of those little pianos... you mean, a "Harp"-sichord? yeah that's it..

  • @mooglebye "Harpiscord."

  • @WoWclan Rofl... you win the "moron of the year award"

  • This theme reminds me of something I'd hear in a Castlevania game. xD It sounds that good.

  • I like this music it gives me insperation to write.. write about some poem about a looooong hallway full of dancing ghosts ( lost people who quit WoW) that dance to this music sorrowfully, some having the time of thier afterlives.. Wow what world of warcraft and some spooky dungeon and magneficent music can create in one persons imagination :D

  • i have heard a lot of WoW songs but this one is just keep reminding me about those day......good days.......... when people didn't care about your gearscore and just had fun!

    The time that warriors weren't nerfed  and still were OP and we had real hunters(no offense of the hunters to today)

    R.I.P too all the good players that have quitted may your soul be forever lost in the hallway's of karazhan

  • @melikefail ikr, how are people meant to get better gear if people dont even let them in raids.. everyone has a first time!

    stuck up bastards.

  • @melikefail wait, how is auto attacking and spamming a macroed steady shot for the entire boss fight considered to be a "real" hunter? O_o

    hunters in my raid watch tv during boss fights back in BC o.o;;

  • @OnimeNoEnishi maybe they did but they where way better then the crappy ones of today right? (most of em are better there are exceptions ofc)

  • @melikefail Good Ol' times, mate.

  • @melikefail OMG!! My repair bill is high! I quit! I hear that too often nowadays....

  • @melikefail pah. i remember people started calling them huntards back in karazhan days

  • @melikefail RIP TBC :-(

  • @melikefail Real hunters faded when they removed deadzone :<

  • @melikefail ): i miss the good days of wow

  • @melikefail totally agree 100% on all of that... cata is what screwed everything up the most... I remember all the OP people of my realm Anub'Arak and I remember them on trade and everything... alot of awesome people have quit since then :( some of my best friends I had too... and I remember Kara first coming out. was never geared enough to go though but I finally went in late WOTLK and it is by far my favorite raid! There will definitely never EVER be any expansion like BC or any raid like Kara

  • @melikefail Yeee actually the good players didn't quit, it's just people get better with time. Now the standards have gone way up.

  • We need more mysterious creepy dungeons in this game... Karazhan ftw

  • Whoa, hadn't heard this one in quite a while, and what a massive inspiration it suddenly is. Brb, painting a creepy castle or something.

  • this kinds of remind me of the windmill theme from TLoZ:OoT

  • @natureshamy

    I agree, it sounds a bit like it: Quite the same rythm, but lower tunes and a bit slower, as far as I can say.

  • My guild could down everything so easily but then we got to melchazar.... WIPE TIME D:

  • Makes me want to travel back in time , build a scary ass castle , have really wierd ppl there and lure in adventurers to my castle and lock the gates and just scare the shit out of them

  • Hmm, unannounced visitors, Preparations must be made... :D

  • Comment removed

  • Karazhan best raid instance ever , you dont needed to be pro or have full epic to finish it , teamwork combined with some thinking :)))

  • karahzan best raid ever4!

  • Impossible to forget all those baddies that used to fail at Moroes ROFL.

  • Homestuck's Harlequin song. This is that song.

  • Well, hello there Moroes. Care to take me on a tour of your beloved castle?

  • Scusa!!!

  • I almost shit my pants on the organ O:

  • Epic song :)

  • so mystical and tranquil... ^^

  • haha please support " Activision Blizzard" ? hahaha, It must be a joke, cuz they definetly have enough money... they should give the soundtracks away for free!

  • @Duracellx70 You kidding me? lol them bastards would die rather than make something free.

  • I can imagine someone using this music for Halloween, with screens or something to show the men and women dancing like they do in Karazhan, and when you get to the door..A spiral of spirits and ghosts come floating in circles around you..Lol would make you run and piss your pants..

  • WOTLK today @02/06/10 is just not so fun anymore..

    miss old kara in burning crusade ..[sigh]

  • Oh dear, i've gone and made a mess

  • Karazhan was a terribly laid-out raid, but the music is the best raid music ever, IMO.

  • @tamriilin How was it? It was awesome karazhan pre nerf was harder than LK 25 man normal.

  • @miltonluvsno1 maybe cause lk 25 man normal is one of the easiest encounters in nHC icc

  • @miltonluvsno1 The bosses and the concepts were cool, but the actual layout of the dungeon was atrocious and should have been given more thought.

  • I stayed in this dungeon for a couple of hours after everybody else had left... just enjoying this music, and dancing with my succubus minion. Had a couple of guildies even remark "you're STILL in that dungeon?!"

    Ah, good times, good times...

  • The chills I get along my spine when listening to this.. Karazhan, must be the best raid ever - Atleast it will for me, it shall remain in my heart. *Bows down and goes to play Chess*

  • I would love to be an undead guest in Karazhan. Partying for all eternity? hell yeah!

  • I am estatic about this.. I don't know which is better the harp or the organ! Mwahaha The Harp is Proper

    The Organ is a mellow Depressing Ready for anything for gothics.

  • I go to the dungeon for the music, fuck paying attention to killing mobs.

  • Medivh and his mother Aegwynn have always been my favorite characters in warcraft lore! And I absolutely love the music for Kara!

  • I wish some part of Karazhan, you are running and the screen gets all twisted and the music starts playing..Your computer screen goes black..3 seconds later a zombie face screams at you like those screamer videos..Would creep the shit out of you

  • lol, i miss kara and pre bc/bc, they were much better than gay wotlk, they screwed everything up

  • it's easy to download music from youtube you only need to get the program Real Player and when you can download evry thing.

  • Harpsichord was the perfect instrument choice for this piece.

  • were do i download this

  • Moroes - Best Boss in WoW.

  • lol course, he was Medivh's housekeeper, as such, he's awesome, even if Medivh killed him

  • "You Rang?"

    "Now, Where was I? Ah.."

    "How terribly clumsy of me..."

  • Listening to this, all my bitterness towards Blizzard just melts away.

  • I so wanna raid karazhan now <3!!

  • Guys... seriously, can someone show me a link to download this song :D <3333

  • This was the only good thing they did in TBC. I would give anything to have this bumped to 80s

  • the best music ever in wow

  • I loved this theme in Karazhan. Such fun times! <3

  • @yoursweetsix6six awesome music awesome raid but now blizzard create only shit

  • use fraps or gamecam to record song then change the video file to a sound file with windows movie maker

  • I miss the old days. Really.

  • Este tema es, para mi gusto, el más glorioso del WoW... me pone como el pitorro d'un botijo :3

  • Is there a place to download this? I've purchased all WoW Soundtracks previous to finding this, and I'm fairly sure it's not in there, so I'd highly appreciate it if someone could link me to a site to download this mp3 file.

    I ADORE Karazhan's music~

  • Exactlly i want that mp3 aswell. can't find it. i know i can do that /script ... shit but that is just pointless i want to have it as an mp3

  • @Shithra

    Can't you just pull it our wow install?

  • @Shithra

    Google for "youtube to mp3 converter"

    Not top notch quality but it's better than nothing.

  • The piano gets it sound from small "hammers" hammering the strings, the harpsichord from plectrums picking the strings.

  • lovely piece of music! :p

  • Harpsichord gave the superb feeling of being Inside karazhan lol.....like being inside a banquet of ghost barons xD

  • What's a Harpischord? I never heard that instrument before.

  • Its an instrument that looks like the piano and works on allmost the same sistem, but has been used before the piano was discovered and the piano is more deep-toned.

  • Yeah, a harpsichord is an early predecessor of the piano. It has at least one keyboard, sometimes more than one for organists who would often practice on harpsichords. The sound comes from pressing the keys which cause plectrums inside the body of the instrument to pluck strings of varying lengths, in contrast to the piano which strikes strings with felt covered hammers. The harpsichord fell out of use mainly because it had no way to control dynamics (volume) and it doesn't have a sustain pedal.

  • It's meant to sound out of tune and twisted because that's what karazhan is; Run down and twisted, and i think the effect of the out of tune is because of the feeling of everything being so old, the harpsichord might be a little broken after a few years

  • @kwackypoop Dissonance or discord might be the words you're looking for =)

  • For all you wondering, the music is played on an instrument called a "Zither". And it's played beautifully for this song...

  • I hear horrible synth harpsichord, not zither.

    Perhaps even a clavichord.

  • Horrible? This is played wonderfully.

  • Oh nonono.

    I mean, the synth harpsichord sounds horrible, the timbre.

    The music is written and played wonderfully.
