Music of Cataclysm - Twilight Highlands

[DrabisPlace]

Where in Twilight Highlands can you find the place on the picture? I don't remember such wall in the Twilight Highlands.

[DokmoBros]

@DrabisPlace The picture is from the Beta version of Cataclysm, and the picture shows the Greymane wall, and the Raging chasm from Westfall in Twilight Highlands.

[DrabisPlace]

@DokmoBros That makes sense, thanks for clearing that up.

[Lastprophet24]

Lords of Shadow, Gods of Twilight, bend me to your will. The one whose voice echoes in the deep beckons to me, he calls out to me over those ancient peaks, the God of darkness demands i strike you down, yield your flesh to the gates of death, and know none can escape the will of him who sees all.

[shadowrodney]

whats all this talk about nerds? gamers = gamers, this is a epic song!

[Myl1fe4aiur]

i dont play wow anymore but i still love its soundtrack

[Myl1fe4aiur]

u noobs all play wow and stop this stupid agression against guy who play it as well

[ignamax08]

Remembers me Medal of Honor soundtrack

[88Alura88]

Good news everyone! They fixed the phased nodes... *finds phased node* fuuuuuu- <--- happended in 4.2 as well...

[SpiritJaivyn]

@sumerian88 Playing games doesn't make you a nerd. Acting like you makes you a nerd and a loser.

[Actionboy619]

@sumerian88 You sound like a girl man

[TheEpicVikings]

This music is so perfect for the zone

[A11YourBas3]

This picture was taken during the alpha. This is where the twilight citadel is now.

[superwowman100]

Where was this picture taken?

[sumerian88]

3:13...

The Old Gods...whisper to us. They await in their prisons, they await their hour. They await...The Hour of Twilight...

[Actionboy619]

@sumerian88 God your a nerd. I am ashamed to play the same game as you man.

[sumerian88]

@Actionboy619 Oh look a nerd who accuses another nerd of being a nerd just to make himself feel better! Sorry bro, we're all in the same boat when it comes to WoW! Oh by the way, being a nerd is awesome, we're taking control of the world!

[Actionboy619]

@sumerian88 No dude, I jus think wow is a fun game. And real nerds are the ones making a lot of money like Bill Gates and good scientists. WoW nerds will not take over the world, Most like you won't even see half of it.

[Actionboy619]

@sumerian88 And no were not all in same boat when it comes to WoW. I play it because its a fun game. But I'm not a weirdo that says shit like "The Old Gods...whisper to us. They await in their prisons, they await their hour. They await...The Hour of Twilight..."

Sadly a lot of people who play this game are people like you and give it the reputation of being a nerd's game with embarrassing bullshit like that.

@4everurhere

But ... no one was arguing?

[Raykwol169]

I don't recall that image anywhere in the game... (<exploration fanatic) o__o

[SAJoe001]

@Raykwol169 Beta :]

[KakunaDrummer44]

I loved playing this soundtrack in the background while Roleplaying in Stormwind city during the elemental invasion! :D

[CarrotAtHeart]

This music plays primarily in BWD and BoT, I think BRC and Stonecore, I haven't heard this particular variation of the theme outside of those instances that much. Great stuff, love the Twilights Hammer theme <3

[Oromis0011]

The Maw. So hot.

[alyssondocx]

cataclysm has an amazing soundtrack, better than wotlk. (but "invencible" still the best ever)

[Maanhtje]

Does anyone know how the music is called which plays at the portals in Stormwind?

[Frikkace]

@Maanhtje search for "Music of Cataclysm - Mysterious" 

[TheDemin10]

Best WoW music!

[XXxTheWardenxXx]

Wtf?! On the picture, you can see Gilneas wall and Vortex from Westfall?

[saml994]

@XXxTheWardenxXx It is from leaked alpha, many of the stuff were placeholders back then.

[doxi101]

where can i find that damn?

[Nekrotic03]

Very chilling and mesmerizing. Props blizzard :)

[Cheesemast3r413]

Where in Twilight Highlands is the pic from? Looks more like The Great Wall of China to me.

[AdIgnorantiam]

The chants remind me of those in Lord of the Rings for the Ringwraiths

[chook151]

This sounds like one of those epic engame soundtracks from an epic endgame RPG

no pun intended :O JK CATACLYSM SOUNDTRACK OWN!

[LongviewGD182]

Anyone know what the whispers mean?

I saw some dude translate them a while ago, but cant remember where i saw it

[AurelePyroan]

Ozruk, Corborus, High Priestess Azil and General Umbriss have taught me to fear this music.

[HKsuperfan]

@AurelePyroan Really? All Ozruk taught me was to feel the strength of the earth.

[alikat250]

@HKsuperfan Well, I learned -not- to break myself upon his body.

[T3sl44]

sorry, but this music does not appear in twilight highlands. I flew all over the place for an hour during night and day but unfortunatly never heard this amazing track.

[greggstheman]

@T3sl44 it does play, a lot.. i have a mining route i use by grim batol.. it plays pretty much constantly when i'm not around the grim batol entrance

[T3sl44]

@greggstheman

I checked the region around grim batol today for half an hour and never heard this track. Instead it plays a variation of the "eye of the vortex" theme followed by a sinister twilight theme that sounds similar but is definitly not the track above. If anyone believes he hears the track please poste the location and I'll gladly check it out. I hope someone can prove me wrong because this track is just too awesome.

[likeerhater3]

@T3sl44 i hear it all the time first song u hear when going out

[Fraytus]

@T3sl44 Put Loop music on.

[Spectacular66]

@T3sl44 This song actually plays in Blackwing Descent, which is a bit odd

[Rastivv]

@T3sl44 It appears in parts of Deepholm, Stonecore, and I think Blackrock Caverns. Not sure about the last.

[T3sl44]

did they change the music? When I quested in twilight highlands (retail) I never heard this track but instead boring flute sounds:(

[Thrills001]

@T3sl44 Theres like 15 different songs for twilight highlands. just go to a different part of it and you will hear different music.

[Stufflikeheartz]

I'm now joining the Twilight Hammer. The music has settled it.

[DarthPower1661]

@Stufflikeheartz You're not the only one who plans on joining them. Also, for the theme and all that... Doubt I need to say this, though it is an excellent theme.

[theDancingfairy]

all of the cata music is pretty damn good

[Koruptionx]

Damn you Phased nodes!!

[devonkatz16]

@Koruptionx Ugh, I hated that. I saw a dot, no herb!

[ransac16]

Am I the only who thinks of Stargate when the music starts?

[Annihilator27]

This makes Icecrowns music sound like a carnival.

[KINGDotSlashFacepalm]

@Annihilator27

well, there WAS one there...

[PaxAmericana24]

@Annihilator27 Icecrown music did sound like a carnival....................

[chook151]

I love TH. Like many others before me, I think that it fits the idea of horror far greater than Icecrown did.

The sky is an unnerving blue, and it feels as if your character is enclosed in a dream, with open plains and strange monuments in the distance. And you get this immense sense of loneliness and hopelessness. Also, when you stumble upon the radically different areas inside it (Twilight bastion, and Maw of Madness) It comes an an unexpected shock.

[IJUSTLOVETURTLES]

This video shouldn't have a dislike button.

[TheCheeseFood]

Is that a Gilneas style wall...i think it is, the roof tiles are the gilneas colour, and the wooden support on the wall is the same.

[Heidar08]

The other thing that I find creepy about the highlands is that it's a place out of a nightmare. Icecrown was, as a zone, just one huge fort for the scourge. The Twilight Highlands resembles a normal environment, and then a few yards further it feels like you stepped into another dimension (The Maw of Madness). It's the fear of the unknown that makes it better than Icecrown. This music will put you on edge as you explore.

[Cheesemast3r413]

OH NO THE TWILIGHT HIGHLANDS HAVE BEEN TRANSFO- Oh wait

[TheJonFawcett]

This is gonna rock..

[octapusxft]

this is more than epic , it is legentary music just like storm peaks was

[Posterdude95]

This soundtrack is amazing. Especially at the moments where you hear the sword clinging type sound in the first minute. It makes you feel like you are always in some kind of hostile environment wherever you are and Icecrown failed to do something like this. This soundtrack also kind of reminds me of lord of the rings.

[rednas3636]

@Posterdude95 well in icecrown the huge battle was 70metres below you, it didnt feel like you're face to face with the scourge(imo) but still epic

i also cant wait for twillight highlands:) i dont know that much about the area

[GmasterFunk]

@Posterdude95 it makes me feel arthases pane the way he died by his dad stabbing him

feels bad man

[TxtACRowetxT]

@Posterdude95 Icecrown gave me the feeling that I was flying undetected in a place where nothing living had been in years. However, while I am undetected, my presence has been made aware of.

This sounds like I'm directly threatened...which I am. Considering Deathwing has torched my ass multiple times and the Lich King never really left Icecrown Citadel.

[c0mbineelite]

Ia Ia cthulu fhtagn

[Elevester]

@MatrixMagz Same here.

[AnguishSuffering]

Deathwing is a pawn.

[TawmDee7]

@AnguishSuffering CATACLYSM WAS MERELY A SETBACK.

[music4meh]

wah wah...... pasha... pichu..... hamsta...

[KINGDotSlashFacepalm]

Fear The Highlight Twilands

[CarrotAtHeart]

I hope there is some music fitting of the less terrible parts of the zone, I want to hear some wildhammer themed music :)

[zadoestricks]

Since when did Nightelves build a massive china wall o.o (or humans or whatever.)

[DokmoBros]

@zadoestricks Dude, it's not the night-elves. Nor the humans. (As a faction, that is) It's the Twilight cultists, who worships Deathwing. They can be everything from Humans to Goblins, so im not sayng you are 100% wrong. ;)

[TaurenWarchief]

@DokmoBros

Well the wall does look a bit like the Worgen architecture

[ShadeoftheDarknesse]

My favorite place so far on the beta.

[MrMannysChannel]

all theses placeholders make it look retarted

[ablecompany]

Nice i hear a bit of Bourne identity in this soundtrack

[Oothur13Garona]

Deathwing can cause a tidal wave with a flap of his wing, Arthas uses all his might to raise a dragon from the dead......Deathwing shifts his body and the barrens cave in on its self, Arthas kills people then makes them his minions. Arthas gets killed by mortals, Deathwing Almost kills Alexstraza...sorry folks im more afriad of DW

[TheJudgeMan1]

@Oothur13Garona u know he is going to be killed by mortals too right? and Lk wasnt killied by mortals..not in lore..

[camey11]

@TheJudgeMan1 The Lich King was killed by Mortals Lorewise. He was killed by Tirion(Mortal) and the un-named Heroes of Azeroth.

Tirion shattered Frostmourne, releasing the souls inside, which trapped Arthas(Not having any physical to kill Arthas themselves) In which the heroes took him down fully. Deathwing will most likely NOT be killed by Mortals, more-so once he has been weakend, the Five Aspects: 4 Dragons 1 Shaman(Kalec'gos taking over Magic, and Thrall taking over Earth) will down him.

[Brotection]

@TheJudgeMan1 Deathwing will prob require alot of help from dragons like Malygos and Kil'jaeden did.

[MasterReynard]

@Oothur13Garona Not to mention, he is infused with some of the Titans' power. Forget which one, need to read more WoWwiki.

[Takashii25]

Oh... my... god... this will be the music I hear every time I enter the Twilight Highlands...? I'll be too distracted to quest...! XP

[DralosVos]

Kinda sounds like Lord of the Rings music heh

[BlackFuckingBetty]

ty blizzard for such a good game but its addiction. when ur playing wow ur going deep into ur mind and this is it, and then its seems it is everything for u and u are the only one in this world.

[Pepitobenito]

@BJMKBKNLU Yeah, that's one of Yogg's titles, not Arthas/LK. The Lich King is not a god, nor is he worshipped as one. Neltharion and some of the other aspects are/were sometimes viewed as gods by their followers, though they also are not actually.

[RichardAshendale]

@Pepitobenito actually you are most certainly wrong there. The lich king is worshipped as a god by the cult of the damned. And the vrykul who serve under him revere him as "the death god" (both Ingvar and Ymiron refer to him as such.)

That being said, Deathwing was "the aspect of Death" and was called deathwing long before the lich king was ever brought into being. Yogg-Saron also predates both Deathwing and the Lich King so he is technically more legit than arthas is.

[Ned406]

Can anyone else not stop listening to these?

[Pepitobenito]

@CBleck Not really. Arthas wanted what he saw as his own form of order by creating undead servants from the living. Deathwing wants only chaos and destruction. He's a lunatic; he's completely lost his mind, whereas Arthas was only corrupted by power and ambition.

[CBleck]

@Pepitobenito once again, saying Arthas could likely take out let's say...Cho'Gall, or any other member of the Twighlight's Hammer...never said anything about Deathwing being weaker than Arthas...never even mentioned him in my original comment

[Brotection]

@CBleck cho'gall would eat arthas' face.

[CBleck]

@Brotection ...well, w/e you say bud

[dogsarecool222]

@CBleck why doesn't anyone know the difference between arthas and the lich king?

[CBleck]

@dogsarecool222 ...they are one and the same as of Wrath...even with Ner'zhul no longer in command the entity has both Arthas' and Nerzhul's memories and experiences

[Boromir26]

I would really like if this zone would be even for levelling experience hard as hell!! I mean listeing to this music while entering the first time in there I would totally expect death at every step! And I will be totally disapointed if I don't wipe in here a few times!! This zone needs to be intimidating to even set foot in! And I am not talking about mere welcome mobs.. ohh noo much much more!!

[sitrilko]

I hope the zone itself is properly epic enough as this music.

Becouse this music ROCKS!

[vagn5000]

@sitrilko

So far it really is :)

[imagnome123]

the thing that makes twilight highlands so much more chilling than icecrown is that icecrown looks dark and gruesome and if a scrouge jumped out at you and attacked you in icecrown you wouldnt be terribly suprised, highlands lures you into a false sense of security being that it looks rather tranquil in some areas

[Kuragalolz]

@imagnome123 Ah ah ah, but the middle of twilight highland is VERY dark.

[camey11]

@imagnome123 I agree. The Cultists of the Twilight Hammer are more mysterious, there is very little explained about them, comparing it to the Scourge and the Cult of the Damned. The mind fears what it does not know, more than what it does.

[surrender127]

That wall looks Gilnean. But I highly doubt they are involved with this.

[saml994]

@surrender127 It's from early alpha builds. TH currently has changed alot.

[justinskate123]

Wow the whispers give me the chills... awesome soundtrack though

[Calthrasful]

@CBleck i think youre right but Arthas isnt so evil compared with this

[CBleck]

@Calthrasful Arthas and Deathwing pretty much want to do the same thing, end all life, except Deathwing (and by extension the Twighlight's Hammer0 want to tear the world asunder, Arthas wanted to turn all things into mindless undead, which is probably a worse fate than just being...well plain dead

[Krynarn]

@CBleck Just look at the names

Arthas - The Lich King

Deathwing - THE DESTROYER, THE ASPECT OF DEATH, THE WORLDBREAKER

[CBleck]

@Krynarn I never said Deathwing was a weaker villain, I said the Lich King could probably clean house w/ the Twighlight's Hammer...not Deathwing

[TariqTrance]

@Krynarn erhm arthas had more titles,,, the death god to the vrykul, and the dark one and lord of the dead

[Hceinsatchel]

@TariqTrance the number of titles doesnt mean anything

[Annihilator27]

@TariqTrance He has 5 that I can think of. Deathwing has 12.

[Stormwind187]

@Krynarn Don't forget Demon Souls, and the armor plated SKIN. And the LAVA BLOOD...

[BJMKBKNLU]

@Krynarn Arthas - God of Death, that rips over Death Wing's titles

[flurble33]

@BJMKBKNLU I think he'd have to have a chat with a fully awakened Yogg'Saron before he could claim that title properly.

[Brotection]

@BJMKBKNLU Arthas isnt the god of death. First off ner'zhul is where he gets is power and 2nd Yogg saron is still way stronger than arthas and all the old gods = kill anything on azeroth if they werent sealed. and im pretty sure. Worldbreaker is cooler than lich king. The destroyer also.

[Drsatan9]

@Brotection Even C'thun lore wise would be stronger then the lich king

[Brotection]

@Drsatan9 Yeah i said that. when i said "all the old gods" i ment it as all of the old gods could destroy anything. i kinda worded it like yogg could destroy all the old gods.

[DAGET1234]

@Krynarn Actually Lich king has more , much more interesting lore than deathwing -_-

[Krynarn]

@DAGET1234 Idk, I've always liked Deathwing's lore much more. I'll agree the lore behind Ner'zhul / Arthas is interesting but hes sorta a minor figure compared to Deathwing.

[Perais1337]

@Krynarn Arthas- The Lich King, Dark Lord of the Dead, The Death God, The Jailor of the Damned

[Krynarn]

@Perais1337 I think you mean

Arthas - The Lich King, The Lord of the Dead

Bolvar - The Jailer of the Damned

Never confirmed that he was the one being called the Death God seeing as Yogg-Saron, the Old God of Death was also present in Northrend.

[Perais1337]

@Krynarn The Vrykul call him the Death God

[music4meh]

@Perais1337 they meant Arthas...

[pudgeypigeon]

@Krynarn they vrykul did in fact refer to him as the death god, I didn't see any faceless wandering around utgarde or any connection to old god influence present there.

[camey11]

@pudgeypigeon The Yogg Saron influence is all OVER Northend Dungeons actually, Yogg-Saron and Arthas had a Connection, if you follow the story from Ulduar to Icecrown(Not extremely apparent, but it is there). Arthas and Yogg-Saron had a some-what... un-spoken truce.

[pudgeypigeon]

@camey11 yes there is influence but not in utgarde specifically, where did you gather the truce info? from dragonblight one assumes that yogg is a nuisance to the scourge. In icecrown everything is made of saronite but the lich kings presence is more overwhelming i believe that whispers aren't heard there and since the scourge is controlled by the lich king that they are unaffected by yogg-sarons whispers. to see heavy influence in the dungeons its in Azjol'nerub and ulduar dungeons and thats it

[camey11]

@pudgeypigeon

"Blizzard representatives have stated that they feel the connection between Yogg-Saron and the Lich King ended up being poorly expressed in-game,[9] but added that it "had a lot to do with the ability for mortals to become corrupted.""

Read the part before it to, it explains alot. And did I say truce? No. I said "Un-spoken" truce. They Keywrod is un-spoken. No-one said it was a heavy Infleunce on Utgarde keep, but there is an Influence there.

[camey11]

@Perais1337 Arthas was no Jailor of the Damned, as he was a "King" not Jailor. Bolvar on the other hand does not Rule the Scourge like Arthas, rather holds them in check, thus he named himself the Jailor of the Damned. The Death God, IS Yogg-Saron, but, Arthas was working his way to that title, but was not the God of Death, merely King.

[bongobeaver]

@Krynarn Chuck norris- The creator

[CBleck]

@Calthrasful however, yeah, this is alot more sisnister sounding than Icecrown

[Calthrasful]

Yeah the evil power is great! Arthas is nothing compared with the twilight hammer

[CBleck]

@Calthrasful you mean to Deathwing...Im sure Arthas could probably slaughter the Twighlights

[UndeadFlamingo]

If you ever thought Icecrown was such a creepy, gloomy and scary expansion end-zone that it couldnt be topped.... Twilight Highlands seems to beat it by far. Fear them.

[AirpressureL]

A very epic piece that needs more views.

At first I was worried a bit about these Highlands but they actually made it quite the awesome place to be :)

[gjgkhgjfhgjklhklhglj]

ITS THE GREAT WALL OF TWILIGHT
