Culling of Stratholme General Music

[MrMiket102]

Sounds like something that would be in a Harry Potter MMO.

[ArtworQMedia]

This Soundtrack is so epic....!

[MrEliiz]

"I will hunt you to the ends of the earth Mal'ganis! to the ends of the earth!"

"Dude..we're on Azeroth..not earth.."

[valiantvyse]

I just read the novel "Arthas". Adds a lot more depth to the whole Lich King saga, I must say. Y'all should read it.

[Twistedmihailo]

The part after 2:20 sounds heavily influenced by Beethoven's 9th symphony, 2nd movement.

[DarkCreedNinja]

First time, and I get the Bronze Drake. Party was extremely mad at me. Good times :).

[TendancyToFloatAway]

I was listening to this while accidentally watching the end of Pineapple Express. All the burning pot... so dramatic with this.

[PsychoticBeverage]

Parts of it sounds like they're being played in reverse, which is really cool, because you're back in time.

[nintendofan571]

Arthas: We finish this right now malganis just you, and me, and these 5 other people I brought with me. Im such a doushe that these 5 lads dont get any credit. Now to plan my expedition to northrend where I will betray my best friend and be a doushe, all in the name of Frostmourne. Then I will pick up said sword and Become the Lich king, and my friend will die.

[Wonocva15]

@Helionova15

I think it equates to utter revenge clouding everything else once he finds him.

If you needed help to find your worst enemy, then found him, I'm pretty sure everyone would be lost in a lust for revenge and forget the rest of the people who helped. At least for the battle, like Arthas did.

[masilya111]

when*

[masilya111]

I love the part where plays the harmonica!(01:08)

[1999ShadowX]

@masilya111 I know it gives that sort of helpless feeling to it :D

[WyrdFayth]

People don't give this enough credit as being one of the most important and NECESSARY events in the history of Azeroth, even with the whole bit about Bronze Dragons having us make damn sure it happens. There truly was no other option save to accept EVEN MORE death, and Arthas knew that.. as did Jaina. "I *can't watch* you do this" indeed.

Moreover though.. x3 If Arthas hadn't become the Lich King, we may well have fallen to the Legion in the Third War~ Think on that~!

[TheCrazySyndrome]

LORDAERON BELONGS TO THE FORSAKEN!

[Sindragossa]

I'm in love with this song!!! My heart love it and always when im listening i have tears im my eyes :):)

[TaurenWarchief]

I'm glad they put the free drake in this. People still run it, even if its just for the drake.

[Zakann]

Listen to the introduction in reverse mode : it's Lordaeron theme, and most of all, human theme.

[limitablereturns]

when this happened in W3 i was pro arthas...but when he betrayed the mercenaries i started to doubt what he was doing

[doxi101]

i already hate the foraken for trying to take over lordaeron but if they even dare to point a finger to stratholme.....

[migcosta17]

Heh, I remember trying to attack Mal'ganis base in WC3 to prevent killing civilians...

[Ranma1224]

welfare mount!

[Toxicity662]

Masterpiece

[RolandAxforde]

if only they let us kill random civilians D= and get an achievement "serial killer" for that

[Kiratsuchii]

@RolandAxforde Fool! How could you even think of killing civilians of Lordearon! Your either a horde scum or Scourge scum. Glory to the Alliance, Lordaeron, and the merciless Scarlet Crusade!

[RolandAxforde]

@Kiratsuchii Scourge scum sounds nice  D=

[Kiratsuchii]

@RolandAxforde Shut your mouth scrouge filth. The light will give me to power to smite thee. Begone! Evil do'er!

[cryptlord99]

@Kiratsuchii The Scourge will consume you! You will become like us!

[FuranSoul]

This dungeon never felt like a grind. It had amazing music, a cool atmosphere, and the constant movement and action kept everything fresh, even by the 50th run.

[tlg40]

by far the BEST wotlk dungeon!

[morningglory5984]

Best dungeon music ever. specially if your a human palladin tanking 10 mobs at once with this music and with the alliance shield that drops from that place. felling is epic man.

[ntzolev]

Man, that bring back memories

[iamconnor11]

Culling = FREE DRAGON FOR EVERYONE :D

[CrashBandicootFreak]

The beginning could sound like it can go in Mother 3 when Flint's wife dies and Claus dies. That song would be fitting in the beginning.

[Syt96]

9 Dislikes must be purged, for Lordaeron!

[Savagefox921]

The one wotlk instance I really enjoyed :)

[Msmeix]

PURGE!

[darkbyte101]

Blizzard is so pro, they just make their own language.

[elfgirl]

Every time I do this instance it's such a bittersweet feeling. This is my favorite dungeon in the entire game. Seeing Stratholme so full of life, just seeing the entire area full of life but then knowing what will happen. Deep stuff. The dungeons in the Cavern of Time are the best in the game as far as I'm concerned.

[Helionova15]

Arthas: "This ends now Mal'ganis, its just you and me..."

Party: ... *cough*

[LuckyPalms]

@Helionova15 I know, right? XD

[liligman]

@Helionova15 Lol, every time I tanked this I thought that :P

[LauziieDauziie]

FIRST THING ALWAYS SAID IN THIS INSTANCE:

"...so I'm guessing we all want a Bronze Drake, yeah?"

[datura1983]

don't forget for those who don't know, be sure to stop in there to grab the stratholme lily. "a momento of the living city"

[datura1983]

i was so consumed by the lore of this place i spent hours in here for days at a time. the story is powerful. the music adds to the intensity of the story (enhances it) this really is a great chill place if you just wanna drift and daydream :) good for the creative mind

[Tojo89]

Ah, the lore of this game is epic. Even though I've only started playing near the beginning of Wrath, I am just intrigued by the lore.

[ErhardtvonRheindar]

best wow music ever?

[VanHelsing248]

@ErhardtvonRheindar Zelda and WoW and some other games like Age of Empires 3^^

[CarrotAtHeart]

@ErhardtvonRheindar

High chance of this being correct, I think.

[Archinol]

Caverns of time is in top 10 of best instances

[Karthaa2]

Arthas ... You bastard.

I love you ♥

[OmegawizardLoL]

''Justice shall be done''

[doxi101]

i still regret i didn't roll my human paladin on a rp realm.

*cry

[elfgirl]

@doxi101 Never to late to roll one... unless you no longer play WoW. ;P

[doxi101]

@elfgirl oh i'm still playing wow :D

i just like my friends on the real i'm on now too much

[elfgirl]

@doxi101 Fair enough, though there's nothing wrong with rolling some toons on a new server. Especially if you need a break. I did it and now an RP server has become one of my main, so it's a thought. Hehe.

[doxi101]

@elfgirl its hard for me to keep multiple characters for im already very busy on the ones i'm on now with all the raids and stuff.

luckly i have some rp friends here :)

[MaskedManiac225]

Knight: Arthas, that person over there is shooting shadow bolts at our poor people. It also has a big purple creature following it.

Priest: ARTHAS, ARTHAS! That priest is purple and looks possessed, plus she just summoned a dangerous looking...thing out of Titan's know where!

Soldier: Arthas, why is there a sickly looking man making ghouls out of our dying people?

Mage: Arthas, there is a giant chicken dancing on your body.

Ah, the fun you can have in strat. Great music as well :D

[CarrotAtHeart]

This was my favorite instance in Wotlk, I was bummed that people skipped the RP :P

[McBlemmen]

@CarrotAtHeart same ...

[911TVify]

arthas was just jealous it looked nicer than capital city

[911TVify]

i remember the cullin gosf stratholme back in warcraft 3 , pure load of epicness and back then it was actually night time and it was raining

[HalloReichhold]

i want wotlk back!!!

[MurakamiTenshi]

I have to wonder, what is the faster of violin playing at 5:54 on? sounds like staccato but faster

[startingsprinter]

GW2 > wow

[Ginurufuzu]

@startingsprinter how can you say that? GW2 is even in the beta phase...

[startingsprinter]

@Ginurufuzu even in beta phase

[startingsprinter]

@Ginurufuzu but i like this song =]

[Dalunai]

Wrath of the Lich King was great and perfect, nothing wrong about the expansion:)

Arthas ftw!

[GrenAcid]

What are lyrics for thet choir part anyone??

Pliz for love of Old Gods.

[eyeofthelyger]

Way too many people take WoW's music for granted! I was at my friends house and he was playing Aion and thats when i realized just how amazing WoW's music is because Aion's sucks ass, just a bunch of oriental shit.

[LadyWisent]

This is incomplete without the sound of zombies dying every few seconds :c

[Lm3ntz]

I played this soundtrack while playing the lvl in warcraft 3 :p

[startingsprinter]

original wow still the best, it gets worse after each expansion

[McBlemmen]

god i miss wotlk , cata made me unsubscribe

[cr4yv3n]

@McBlemmen same :(

It's not because it's hard...it's terribly BORING

[96marth5]

@McBlemmen It didn't make me unsubscribe... yet.... It's pretty boring imo

[hippydude89]

@McBlemmen WoTLK sucked ass. It ruined the game.

[McBlemmen]

@hippydude89 no it didnt , it allowed us to go after the lich king , thats enough

[pentelho111]

@hippydude89 shut up nooooob!!!!!!!!

[plutarch78]

@hippydude89 No it didn't.

[IsmoLmao]

8 people didnt get bronze drake

[TheSephiroth5]

Ahhh renember i got my Bronze Drake here firts time and i was like'WOOT!'

tho i ddint have Aristian riding >x)

[solja19k]

Saddest part of the lore that makes me want to do this instance over and over again regardless of the expansion thats out!

[Xstormraider]

Years ago... I was such a noob to say that was stormwind and comment shit bout this video now im doin heroics of it and the music of it is EPIC! and who said WotLK sucks anywho music was amazing

[nemanjanikolic781]

this is more fun doin in wow than warcraft 3

[Lm3ntz]

8 people failed at playing W3

[Eragon537744]

It's really sad the way most wow players don't appreciate the past history and lore of Warcraft. It really is mindblowing and tragic.

[guthixpwnz]

@Eragon537744 yea i remember doing this in warcraft 3 :P

[Mirino22]

tohle je nejpodarenejsi a nejlepsi dung podle mne:D..mam ho rad..rad do nej vlezu a moc rad v nim i WIPNU kdyz je treba xD

[Kyassuruvania]

When i play, i can't hear the voices singing...awesome!

[liligman]

I have a dream, that one day, youtubers, of all races, can band together and watch a damn video and not argue about racism and just comment about the video itself! I have a dream today.

[Zahar1o]

@liligman agree. every video of every category is always a place for mutual sh!t-throwing. that's annoying -.-

[Fourcrosser95]

Your channel is so fuckin awesome!

[Feuerhexer]

Epic

[PlatinicGoblin]

Best dung ever !! Nice event from w3. Nice music. This dung evokes memories I was there but it's just was w3 and I was young :-)

[GemistaStoBarbeque]

9:00

The grandest of the grandest!

[KissMyBlade]

having played warcraft 3 religiously as a kid, when i saw this in WoW I had to take a 10 minute break of silence to contain the cataclysmic goosebumps i got just thinking that i'd be part of that epic plot turning mission alongside with arthas...

[DarkvigiI]

@KissMyBlade I actually just ran Heroic today and i even told my group(They wanted to skip the intro) "No guys im sorry, this is one of the most insane moments from Wc3, im staying right here"

[gerillamotherf]

i swear when i heard this i thoughed i had a chance to save it.. but all i did was bringing it to its misery :(

first time when played i rly thoughed i could save it, the purple comfi atmosphere made it all perfect, plaguewood now so beautifull and clean air,

4:50 welcome to Stratholme please make yourself at home

[KillForTheAtlantic]

2:15-3:45 is absolutely the best part of the whole song.

[WhiteMousse1980]

@KillForTheAtlantic I agree whole-heartedly. Sounds like the unrelenting, unflinching resolve he had when he destroyed Stratholme.

[LurellePiano]

The picture is beautiful. I wish I could draw like that ;_;

[TeamIzlude]

I love this music...my favourite of all the soundtracks

[cobelli1978]

wath say the orquesta in minute 2:40 ???? wath say the music???

[CokeBagel]

@cobelli1978 Dude make fucking sense u noob

[ThePenguinforce]

@CokeBagel Rasist, he's speaking italian or portuguese i believe.

[jorgen1207]

@ThePenguinforce he isnt a rasist, he cant understand italian or portuguese.

i am terribly tired of people whos calling evrybody rasists, black people are no less rasists against white people. and most people who cals people rasists are mostly white, unless its a black guy trying to win a disgussion, if he calls you a rasist, u got the whole world against you....

[cobelli1978]

wath say the orquesta in minute 2:40 ???? wath say the music???

[ThePRboi14]

would this song make the original culling of stratholme in Warcraft 3 better? it makes the one in WoW awesome

[cobelli1978]

@ThePRboi14 wath say the lirycs?? in minute 2:15

[Xivix427]

There should be a CoT instance where heroes assist Deathwing in making the Demon Soul (if the Infinite Dragonflight aren't on his side).

[Aktaios001]

well, Blizz should make a "Free Eitrigg" instance (for those who didnt read "of blood and honor" its when Tirion in his good days goes to save an orc from execution in Stratholme) in which you must find Eitrigg in the tower ruing near Heartglen (or was it Havenshire, idk), then witness him being later on arrested and taken to execution and then an escort mission with Tirion to free the orc and in the end to see the epic scene of Tirion and Thrall.

[buldren0101]

Oh, also, it'd be nice if the next CoT instance involved something related to Orcs or Nelves and where we got a non-Human disguise. Every time I see my Troll turn into a Human and start running around like he's got constipation I feel slightly insulted >:(

[Aktaios001]

@buldren0101 Oh, and know druids can use the shape thingie to get theire char form back, and as ive heared trolls are gonna have druid in Cata so you get the idea... (on private servers if theire bugged enought the mage polymorph can get you same result)

[buldren0101]

Lordaeron knight: "Prince Arthas, I think there's something strange with that one soldier over there. His eyes are glowing blue, he has skulls all over his dark armor, and he reeks as if he's dying"

Arthas: "Nonsense! If he's fighting against the Undead, then surely he is a soldier of the Light!"

Lordaeron knight: "PRINCE ARTHAS! HE JUST RAISED A GHOUL FROM THAT CORPSE OVER THERE!!!"

Arthas: "SILENCE! THIS INSTANCE IS ABOUT ME!"

[silverbackman]

@buldren0101 Lich King = Hitler lol

[silverbackman]

@buldren0101 aka Arthas = hitler LOL!

[KillerMewGrape]

@buldren0101 LOL that'd be awesome if that accually happend in there

[12Fucitolz]

@buldren0101 LOL

[Xivix427]

@buldren0101 Also, that other "soldier" seems to be wearing a Horde tabard and riding an odd looking mount; doesn't that look suspicious?

[doxi101]

@buldren0101 arthas was a b*tch at this instance.

constantly pulling everyone and everything around him.

[kelbydole]

Cull of Stratholme, Past Warfare.

[Necrosised]

1:07 that one bit right there, with the flutes i think, just blows me away. it's hauntingly beautiful

[McBlemmen]

I dont play wow anymore but this song still gets to me everytime i hear it ... along with the Argent tournament soundtracks, i think i'm going to download the entire wow soundtrack for my mp3 <3

[bombkirby]

@McBlemmen

Thanks for announcing that? XD

[Backdawn01]

Is it me or is this music really happy at the same time really sad?

[RyvernRaigon]

2:12 and onward is really great, it gives me chills, this is a very good instance for a 5 man instance(im not saying 5 man sucks, it's just that it has a lot of things like a raid does) i never get tired of this dungeon, i just hate it when there is somebody that has to ruin it(witch it rarely on my realm lol)

[Ghalron]

really beautiful... can't believe that Arthas is dead, he was the most human hero of warcraft...

[Matadore223]

@Ghalron

True.. He is dead since the end of Warcraft 3

It wasn't Tirion who killed him.. It was Tirion who released him.

[Necrosised]

@Matadore223 sad how arthas has to die but the lich king lives on, feeding upon another soul :(

[Ghalron]

@Matadore223 Sure.

(very useful...)

[rafagaxito]

this is beautiful

[Xehanor]

Blizz really needs to make more Caverns of Time instances based on the 3rd war imo. Like Arthas' assault on Quel'thalas with Anestrian Sunstrider as the final boss,?or the Fall of Lordaeron?, or maybe the scourge attack on Dalaran with Antonidas as the final boss? Who knows, I personally think they could make great instances.

[Flakie101]

c'mon guise gear score = skill amirite?

[kapakal]

Stratholme (both the new one and old) is my favorite dungeon because of lore. The music playing in CS is also one of my favorites in whole WOW universe.

[failboats456]

2:16 = Win.

[phunkbot]

"blech, why does Arthas move so damn slow!?"

"He has to maintain his [Aura of Awesome]"

[BlindSloth]

love this music and the instance.... it always brings a chill to my bones when I know what Arthas is about to do

[CorruptedTamaskan]

Don't really like the actual instance but the soundtrack is pretty intense like a movie track :)

[gaudianangel567]

a moment of silence for the fallen citizens and soilders of stratholme

[Matadore223]

A moment of silence for the fallen prince Arthas.

[Kojain]

This music is really worth running this instance. Hopefully Blizzard will make more 5 Man Instances for those of us who can't raid due to the pompus elite players who always talk crap and act like they got their tier 10 gear at level 1.

[Skandalos]

Painfully beautiful, never fails to give me goose bumps. The music alone makes WoW worth its money.

[wayne62682]

I like to go here and just run around, seeing Stratholme how it was as a real city and not an undead-infested cesspit.

[deathcode8]

perhaps one of the best instances ever released in WoW, and (one of) the best songs

[chanala8]

my hav part was 2:10 - 3:50 and then 5:58 onwards. i remember blasting through mobs with my only good AoE (im a balance druid) listening to that.

[brycat61]

the whole story of Lordaeron past is a sad one, I just finished this dungeon, it was strange to see the whole area so lush and pristine And seeing Stratholme almost Stormwind like, there is a sadness to this whole story. It was odd participating in it but it was one of the best instances.

[bingeandpurge]

"Glad you could make it...Uther..."

[home10flys]

thnx for this vid i've been looking for it for ages !!!!

[swedenjao]

This is beautiful.I wonder what kind of CoT dungeons you will see in the future.

[Lolbrosproductions]

@swedenjao ...or past :)

[Uslunet]

many ppl say that wotlk suxx but music in every dungeon or raid in wotlk is breathtaking

[Xicus1]

you are right but wotlk kinda sux we want the old pre-tbc and tbc days back .the pvp was insane hard raids and everything.now raids in wotlk are for kids :((((

[home10flys]

@Uslunet yh really and this is the best dungeon by my oppinion

[zupels007]

@Uslunet

so was in TBC..

[kalthaeden]

@Uslunet Especially the music in the cinematic after defeating the Lich King. Right as the new Lich King gets the Helm of Domination, you hear the music of Icecrown playing behind them as they talk.

[Krza91]

@Uslunet I'd say the music becomes better and better by every addon they make :)

[pentelho111]

@Uslunet wrong dude! WOTLK is the best expansion perfect in all and the ppl say that WOTLK suxx are Vanilla and TBC fans, but this fans is little ppl not many, fuck this haters!!!!!!

[iN4tUR3]

Glad you could make it Uther.

[wartom83]

someone knows the words of this part of the songo 2:12 - 3:45??

[Paracropolis]

It sounds like a made up language to me.

[HurricaneWoWs]

One simple word:

Epic.

[SExyDia13]

2:12 - 3:45 best part

[Anderonn]

Awesome music! One of my favorite instances in the game!

[dither1987]

This is one of my favorite songs in the Wrath Soundtrack.

[Nibor7301]

@dither1987 It's one of mine too!

[NetherDrakeye]

@dither1987

same. its truly simple, epic, a lil sad, a hint of Hope... the Lost Magnificence... Everything Stratholme was about...

[casinobrawl1]

@dither1987 yeah it totally is, always when i enter this heroic instance i change my sound to background music really high and rest lower , this music is so epic and gives me goosebombs over and over.

[JFrombaugh]

This is a really great instance, especially if you do the timed run for the bronze drake because you go through it so quickly.

If your group doesn't do the timed event, you get like the pointless sort of breaks after each wave, whereas I think the idea of the instance is to get this sense of urgency, like time is running out, if you do it in 25 minutes, you get that, because it flows through really well.

[mediczoli]

Mal Ganis the best Evil in Warcaft :D

[Ownagedante]

I think kel'thuzad is

[Lm3ntz]

It was all the fault of Jaina and Uther -> they deserted arthas when he needed them the most.

(well that is what i think)
