I took the three main opening cinematics of World of WarCraft (including the two expansions) and made a montage of sorts that presents the epic battle between two opposing forces - with a full-fledged power metal background "overture."
The album itself "Days of Rising Doom - A Metal Opera" is a one-time supergroup project under the moniker of "Aina." According to Wikipedia, "Aina is a progressive metal supergroup, containing members from all over the world and from all strands of metal and hard rock. Together they created the metal opera Days of Rising Doom, which was released in 2003 by Transmission/The End Records."
Many different musicians collaborated on the project, including members of such bands as Edguy, Nightwish, and Epica. I suggest searching YouTube for some audio samples of the full album if you wish to hear it - though be wary, although there are a couple awesome stand-out tracks, the album has to be appreciated in full (especially since there's such a huge storyline that goes from the album's start to finish).
I do not own Aina, the band, nor do I own the record label, Transmission. nor do I own or represent Blizzard. This video is purely fan made. I DO own a bought-and-paid-for copy of Days of Rising Doom, along with a 5-year running WoW subscription. /end legal
Hope you enjoy the video!
