Diablo 2 LoD soundtrack Harrogath

[droga187]

this wonderful land will be in diablo 3 :)

[daneezed]

best d2 soundtrack for me, every month i come back and listen to it again:D

[DerBieler]

Diablo II was one of the best games I ever played ... too bad cheaters destroyed it .... I HOPE CHEATERS WILL GET THEIR DICK CUT OFF IN D3!!!!!!!

[SUISElSEKI]

diablo ( the game ) is dead

d3 will be WoW 2.0, shitty cartoon graphics, shitty gameplay and no gore whatsoever.

fuck you blizzard for ruining the ONLY good franchise you had

[Kurisuchianu89]

@SUISElSEKI I'm waiting for the real diablo successor.. Torchlight 2 :) Just check the gameplay, it's just the way it should be!

[Cirvantes123]

@SUISElSEKI Can we please at least wait until the game is released and we've had a chance to play it before screaming that the sky is falling?

[plutarch78]

@SUISElSEKI You opinion = dogshit

[SUISElSEKI]

@plutarch78 shut the fuck up blizzard drone

go suck some more blizzard cock

[plutarch78]

@SUISElSEKI Awwwwwww look at the cute little keyboard warrior/e-thug. Did I make you mad?????

[SUISElSEKI]

@plutarch78 you are either 10 years old or retarded

[plutarch78]

@SUISElSEKI Check "none of the above." You, on the other hand.....

[SUISElSEKI]

@plutarch78 i could have been your dad kid

[Ironhearted02]

thumbs up if to this day you never understood why selling soj's to the vendor makes uber diablo spawn?

[z3roo0]

1:00 and forward

[crawford4140]

still w8ing on D3 cant w8 tho makes me wonder HOW THE HELL Diablo survived the whole ordeal (i mean his soulstone was destroyed). I wonder if Baal or Mephisto will make a comeback too. O well diablo is rdy to die a third time along wit his bros if they come back.

[groovyastrodude]

@crawford4140

Diablo IS dead. But those were just the Prime Evils. Azmodan, one of the chief Lesser Evils, escaped retribution during the war against the Prime Evils. He bided his time, and evidently gained primacy among the powers of the Burning Hells. Now, as the last of the veterans of the past war succumb to age, injury or insanity, he strikes at the mortal world.

This is from a video that I believe is on the D3 website.

[Elias1858]

this song will make me cry :')

[MarquiseCorvinus]

wtf...10 years passed since i was a fucking punk playing all the day this...???

:|now i have 21 years :|

[vkeiftw]

Manly tears was shed this day.

[9Sacrifice5]

i heard this song 1000 times but it's still epic..

[Joshonator01]

R.I.P. Harrogath. It was destroyed in the Worldstone Explosion along with everyone in it.

[spiritualform]

feeling like a hero in paradise listening this masterpiece :)

[Porly62]

Unfortunately the music in games is criminally underappreciated.

For me its much mor important than graphics.

[7Blacksteel7]

@Porly62 I believe the music is every bit as important as the graphics; the music sets the mood while I picture the scene before me in the artwork shown in the graphics. Like wine and food, they tend to go well together when paired correctly.

[Commientator]

Ah, good old times :) Brought me lots of fun. No more gaming now except my 85 warrior time to time. But there's something left from those days: soundtracks from favorite games: HW, SC, D1, D2, HMM3:SoD, Generals, FO1-3, et cetera.

So cool to remember :) Peace :)

[BillyTheKid380]

@Commientator damn man i wish i could go back to grade 7-9, my gaming era

[Commientator]

@BillyTheKid380 People must left things behind and progress. Be good on your way, though little nostalgia always make people better. And, thanks for answering me, another opportunity to listen for this. Peace, good luck. Commientator out.

[wheeeeethisisfun]

I CAN'T WAIT FOR D3!!!!!!!

Man this makes me think of Baal runs with my 92 Sorc, and then hitting Uber-Baal and all them with my 95 Sorc. XD Gosh I miss the good old days... good to have D3 coming out soon!!!! :D

[MikePowerlifter]

omg this music... i remember the times i would wait in town with the peeps and i would put my head on the desk trying to stay awake cause its like 5am and wait for a tp to the throne.. awww good times.

[TheUpaynow]

I really love this music. it makes my emotions feel very relaxed. Sounds like orachastra that describes a mystical Dungeons and Dragons world of adventure and Nature.

[printz150]

@TheUpaynow It IS an orchestra! According to Wikipedia (I think) it's not computer generated!

[FiloT]

Music for LOD was recorded in Bratislava - Slovakia :) .

[Cadawrus]

i just imagine barbarians fighting with demons defending harrogath

[aaaaaado87]

this whole melody is just...divine....

[chinessgirl]

guess i will have to play d2 ost while playing d3 :)

[barf245]

@chinessgirl D3 ost is similar to this they are both styled as Wagnerian/experimental

[AidanMclaren]

I don't mean this to be a cliche but the part at 0:58 with the trailing horn has made me burst into tears. It signifies so much sorrow, regret and loss.

[pomidorowa00]

0:33 - 1:33

[mrsparkle001]

4:22 is great. This is one of my favorite soundtrack tracks ever, and 4:22 is probably my favorite part.

[willd3rbeast]

Amazing what they did with 256 colors.

[HunterMarioWorld]

My LOD cd broke... now i have to wait before i can listen to this again...

:'(

[ToManyLetters]

@HunterMarioWorld If you still have your CD key, you can download the game off Blizzard's website. =-D

[HunterMarioWorld]

@ToManyLetters thankuthankuthankuthankuthnaku­thankuthankuthankuthankuthanku­

[Thepihl]

I stayed a while and listen'd.

[acriminalmind1]

@Thepihl "Shut up and identify my items!" xD

[sweetpeachnectar]

@Magebanshee because there is nobody who doesn't like it. :D

[81Szczery]

God create the D2 soundtrack!

[MasterFeradon]

Woah, I haven't heard that music for a looooong time.

[Jonasvalgo]

6 straight hours of Pindle runs.

Fuck yeah. 

[Chubbonds]

The greatest game that ever was and will be.

[lymbo18]

1:12 fuck yeah

[crazy4sian]

I'll be glad for what Blizzard made in the past, before 2000, not after...

[Tedericoe]

@crazy4sian So you dont like there Lord of Destruction XP? that was released in 2001?

[crazy4sian]

@Tedericoe Well, before World of Warcraft, then.

[Cheximus]

omg 1:14. FUCKING AMAZING. <3 Blizzard. Can I work for you please?

[Jefneurotoxin]

I was watching the video of D3 Beta and then look at this.........now I want to mourn

[SteppenwolfDark]

Great memories of my childhood EPIC MUSIC

[massmurderer02]

let me get this straight. the first hero (the one in the very first diablo) stuck diablo's soul stone into his bloody fore head instead of just breaking it to pieces in the hell forge? sounds stupid... but it's damn good alright.

[J0C0C]

1:22  EPIC EPIC EPIC !!!

[MrTristram666]

The legend of the Worldstone and Mount Arreat live on through this theme...

[AndrzejvelFrenzy83]

pure perfection!

[Mortinium]

This music reminds me of the Basil Poledouris Conan OST. Love it!

[IMMADARKMAN]

brb, getting an MPQ extractor so I can rip this from the game.

[globogs]

@IMMADARKMAN

do it

[IMMADARKMAN]

@globogs I did it a month ago. I don't regret my choice either. angelfire . com slash sc slash mpq

[arewewhatweeat]

It's the most non-diablo music, more like from Dragon Age or sth. I mean, no chills, not creepy nor anything like that in this OST.

[TheNilesEdge]

@arewewhatweeat But it fits the tundra landscape style of the fifth act perfectly.

[fraghetti]

1:15 hory shret

[OLelyO]

i absolutely love the fifth act. it is my favorite.

[Chubbonds]

PLAY THIS SHIT AT MY WEDDING

[dijitalparadox]

Thumbs up if Reddit brought you here

[DerBieler]

damn I loved this game, but all those fucking bots destoyed this game.... may they burn in hell for this :(

[dutchdock]

Its said that Diablo 3 is gonna have music based on the last act in Diablo2 so more of this to come, also it is said that Diablo3 will still be released in 2011, so picture this : its snowing outside you're listening to more music like this and your playing in a full bnet game with eight people in it, and you're leveling and killing bosses together, how epic would that be ?

[metcalfe1]

@dutchdock I hope so. So far the D3 music is sounding like a Batman score. I won't judge it just yet, but i've yet to hear any samples to this standard - not even close.

[BasaraPK]

@dutchdock

It's coming out early 2012..

[andraken]

@dutchdock that matches in Diablo 3 will allow only 4 player, not 8 :D sorry to disappoint you, mate

[4Mr2ThC0]

@dutchdock Not 2011.... beta isnt even half finished...and its almost november.... look for a mid late spring launch.... i think i heard something about March being the month to look forward too...

[mrantitrollguy]

@dutchdock hello im a youtube user from 2012, i just wanted to say the i looked to your comment and was like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UU

[PointNubProductions]

@dutchdock very. especially since ice is my favorite element

[mingchao123]

it is this is at the last mission i.e. barrain town

[comevitt]

Installing diablo II again after listening to these soundtracks

[midarei]

epic

[Tekkin23]

I love how the top 2 comments are completely opposite yet exactly the same... bahaha.

[jread79]

Surely I'm not the only one who used to sit in town just to listen to the music on this game. This song was by far my favorite, though. I used to go kill the Ancients and then just sit there looking over the edge of the Arreat Summit while this song played.

I don't know if there will ever be another game made that I will love as much as I loved this one. It is a true masterpiece. Diablo 3 has a LOT to live up to.

[pyrotrout]

Reminds me of LOTR, almost..

[grosuciprian]

@pyrotrout this was done b4 lotr movies

[asavietto]

Well well.. it seems that the siege has everything in short supply... except fools.

[PureDiamondFilms]

Sounds a bit like Conan The Barbarian

[NoackFan]

Eine Zauberin hier in Harrogath?

[lifesupportsystem]

BEST SONG BEST GAME EVER EPIC!

[Metallgarurumon]

what's that for a wind instrument at the beginning?

[igorbog88]

@Metallgarurumon

a violin? lol

[Metallgarurumon]

@igorbog88

no. I meant the wind instrument!!

[xarcosis]

@Metallgarurumon An oboe.

[GadKing]

So good!

[jimnastyx2]

oh my god where are my lod cd´s? lets see if my 750 mf sorc still exists ;))

[Aumaan666]

incredible music...the more I listen the more I like it

nothing changed from all those years back when I heard it the first time :)

[Bli8Bli]

THX :) it´s perfect !

[Lelekv]

this is not really good music, if you thought about it, there's much better music from the classical composers, but this music really brings the atmosphere to your home, to your room and this is why i love it. sorry for my english, it's not my native language and in addtion, im drunk

[TheAle89515]

@Lelekv In addition to agreeing with you, that last part made this comment gold. The Diablo LoD soundtrack is sprinkled quite liberally with quotes from actual classical music, such as Gustav Holst and Edward Elgar.

[illidur]

@Lelekv this music is good. sorry for my shitty english but this is the internet, english is also not my native language, or my 5th, im drunk, tired and i have aids because im gay and this is a run-on sentence. so dont hold me accountable for my words.

your needless excuses really bring out your fail.

[wisedorkman888]

Music of MIGHT, music of Conan, possibly Brave heart, and A true barbarian's Legacy of Norse. Excellent music from multiple cultures.

[groovyastrodude]

Druid's the best for single player. No question, in my mind. Of course, it helped that I had The Minotaur (thumbs up if you know what I'm talking about ;)).

[dbuyandelger]

you know the leap skill made the jungle so much easier.

Don't worry about the english i'm not a native speaker either

[crazy4sian]

Diablo II just won't be the same...

[58vikes]

thank you for invoking year upon years of memories. is upsets me so that so many gaming industries have shied away from making games truly as memorable and cherished as this one.

[dbuyandelger]

Aye, best skill for the barbarian, whirlwind. One mouse click and you slash n bash through scores of demons, good days. (sigh)

[A1zek]

@dbuyandelger I think, that Lighting Fury is more AOE skill that Whirlwind =)

[dbuyandelger]

@A1zek true. But some skills made the game really boring like that damage auras of the paladin

[A1zek]

@dbuyandelger I know, but in fact this is right. At another hand, when i played barb I use Frenzy, because this skill is awesome with amazing speed and damage. I also use Concentration - this skill made me become a true iron man))

P. S. Sorry for my bad english :(

[bionicledragon]

@Alxmir23 Damnit, I was hoping the necromancer kicked Baal's ass );

[GoldenGoldeneye]

Looooong ago...

[crazymcfobo]

OH GOD NOSTALGIC ORGASM

[Executus300]

@crazymcfobo Nostalgasm. :)

[WorldWorthness]

So much fucking memories :'( take me back!

[Samurai314]

Listening to this score makes me think that if Basil Pouledouris and John Williams had a kid, he would be the perfect composer for Diab's 3. It's got such a commanding temperance with the horn section. Just flippin awesome

[31raduflorin]

waw i remember the summers when i was played this great game for 10-12 hours and now when i listen this song again it makes me feel good:) the best part of the song is 4.20-4.40. ah i remember when cain said again and again: ,, GOOD TO SEE YOU " :))

[crawford4140]

Man can't w8 for Diablo 3 I wonder if Baal and or Mephisto will make a comeback in D3? Speaking of which how did Diablo survived the events of D2? cuz the his soulstone were destroyed at hellforge o well we'll findout when we all pick up a copy of D3 at Gamestop near us

[Killercoldice22]

@crawford4140 man dude,,,only mephistos soulstone was destroyed,,they never got diablos after he was defeated.!!!! i hate how people never know that lol. ONly mephtios soulstone got destroyed there

[LordNovacro]

@Killercoldice22

And even so, the World Stone got destroyed, which means that Soulstones could have been rendered useless.

[goshokokosho]

@Killercoldice22 No Its destroyed, watch?v=46YHIIu9D8Q. You can see CLEARLY on 0:30 how the hero destroys Diablo's soulstone. ;)

[Alxmir23]

@goshokokosho yeah,the only one not destroyed was baal,not sure if the hero(which diablo 3 story says it was the barbarian) destroyed it after killing baal

im guessing yes since 20 years passes

[darkness442003]

@Killercoldice22 Good point in my opinion maybe the soul stone was snatched by a demon or someone. To be clear think of it as diablos last temptation

[Tengurengu]

I can't stop playing this game. It's the best game I think i've ever played. WIN.

[KRKahn87]

Stay a while, and listen.

[xAltzio]

@KRKahn87 Oicwotudidthur

[lefredvoncarstein]

The Diablo 1 leitmotif at 4.00 sends shivers down the spine of anyone who's played the original, and remembers it.

[XordLenu]

Wonderful music, but I'm not sure it's actually appropriate for the Diablo franchise.

[Jeronami]

Minor potions? Are you serious? Baal is going to fuck your shit up.

[lefredvoncarstein]

@Jeronami .... can you not tell it's hacked and done just for the purpose of creating a graphic for the video? dumb nerd.

[HermanHermes]

Diablo series is legend forever and ever among all games.

[NorthernCold]

Gameplay without the Uelmen soundtracks would be flat and certainly not as noteworthy. It would take the dark mystical aura out of Diablo.

[kreg001]

this music really reminds me of my past life and i was a barbarian king of north.. the hardships i faced 

[Freyelise]

I looked up Finlandia, composed by Jean Sibelius, and someone in the comments there said it reminded him of this piece in the Diablo II soundtrack. And it kind of does! Look it up yourselves if you don't believe me. :) As a Finn and an avid Diablo II fan it's kinda awesome to think that maybe Matt Uelmen had some influences from Sibelius.

[zork0001]

hans zimmer is going to be jealous when he hears this

[gerpierro]

I'm kinda surprised nobody didn't make a Diablo movie, by now...hell, they have the story line, the characters, a full soundtrack, just call Gerard Butler and Kate Winslett & do it , already! :)

[TheOdMan]

@gerpierro That was the worst choice of actors I've hear yet. Really, what where you thinking?

[SammyBoi224]

@gerpierro LOL @ KATE WINSLETT

[bsbsbspl]

1:12 - 2:30 best part imho

[matsurispring]

even it's an old game and some dudes could say that diablo lacks in grafics(compared with the new grafic technology) for me it's still the game which 10 years ago made me say"OH MY GOSH!".The game of my childhood,and the song which made me just watch Harrogath without playing for hours.DIABLO 2 it's the King!

[StamZO]

the soundtracks is like 30% of a game for me. diablo 3 has to have an outstanding ost, if they want it to be a great game.

[ectowle]

And what a view from Arreat Summit!

[Wolfstateable]

Diablo is an amazing game.. Brings so much memories and its amazing game.. But i have bored a littke.. havent played for 3 months

[jonazor]

Beautiful song, i think of the end of our people when i hear this song and also relates to the barbarians in this game (the european people, germans, scandinavians, brits etc).. We will probably all be minorities in the coming 30-40-50 years... though i really hope not and that people wake up..

[paseybeat]

i want to get this album, any ideas ???

[shadowhunting]

Harrogath and Akt V is my favourite part of story in Diablo II.

Beautiful music.. best Game ever !

[makavelli828]

i had the most rated comment where it is now ?

[haubsen]

@makavelli828

its now mine. hohhaohaaaahahahahahoahaaaa!

[ectowle]

I am amazed to find this place so untouched

[frustratedgamerguy]

i expected this sort of atmoshphere in wotlk

lolblizzard

[paladindarknite]

@frustratedgamerguy it kinda reminds me of something from "star trek"

[axl170]

Beautiful fantasy music that evokes a venerable civilization in its autumn days.... majestic but somber music that invites you to imagine a world where people have seen too much struggled for too long. That's the kind of layered fantasy feeling I get from this wonderful, well orchestrated piece.

[ectowle]

@axl170 layered fantasy feeling

Well put.

[ectowle]

@axl170

A 'passage' well put

[xxxfk]

@axl170 well put..... well put indeed..

[filipedeataideramos]

@axl170 Very well said, I ll remember it!

[zerker12568901]

Pray to the God of the Winter's night to keep me from straying into the temptation of being delievered courage by demonic powers I have conquered hell baal and I will not stop until this world is once again that of Gaia! and thee LORD!

[Kurisuchianu89]

@zerker12568901 Amen

[MrNocomment13]

@axl170 very well put good sir.

[Daviddd1986]

1:15 goosebumps

[UndertakersDiscipleU]

i'm playing Diablo II right now.. and i swear i'm gonna play it always.. 

[deepfugue]

Someplace out there, in the Multiverse, Is Harrogath's snows.

[ectowle]

@deepfugue

You're looking at it.

[dmtryshmtv]

Intro reminds me of Mahler's 1st symp. So awesome.
