Black Temple Illidari Music

All credit goes to Blizzard for the making of this music.

I want you to know I still find and listen to this video all the time. Still gives me chills, and this is the only place where I can seem to find it. Never take it down. Much love from Canada, October 2023.

So true :)

[@Mangapan]

I can't help but shed a tear every time I hear this. Black Temple was to me the most fun and memorable raid ever. I feel so lucky that I got to play in TBC.

[@drmwatson15]

Music still send chills up my spine, 6 years later. I remember walking into BT before they nerfed the need for attunement, was incredibly epic.

[@dobbsy9410]

Man some of the music in this game is just on a whole new level

[@king12191]

I have spent a full night now just going back listioning to all these epic pieces of music. Let me tell you nastalgia has hit me like a fist. One thing however it has helped me realize that no matter what happens to this game it will always hold a special place in my heart. Blizzard has truely put their heart and soul into this game and the epicness that is wow is just off the scale. I am sure I can speak for all of us when I say thank you blizzard for allowing us to take a part in this story

[@miabella98]

[@Vyomesh839]

Soloing Black Temple as a Demon Hunter is really weird. Because all of a sudden, I don't see faceless mobs to kill. I see loyal Illidari soldiers. I see an army preparing to invade Argus and lay waste to the demonic homeworld of the Legion. But then they were murdered. Murdered for the crime of trying to end the burning legion. FOR LORD ILLIDAN! THE ILLIDARI CAN NOT BE STOPPED!

[@thedukeofdogs9686]

Trust me after reading Illidan's novel I began to hate myself for all the solos I did in BT. But I still enjoy beating the shit out of scourge zombies in ICC.

[@kaoruancafe]

I only go to solo BT 'cause i want to see our leader Illidan ! And in the end i don't want to kill him !! I take a lot of screenshots with him ;)

True, I play there for 2 months now, and the content what is out is pure blizzlike. I missed the old TBC days, and feenix wow brings back those memories ;)

[@DrinkingMud]

Dont forget the time it takes to get a raid together, the amount of times you wipe and have to run back in, and the times people leave and you have to find a replacement.

[@marquesbarros.2599]

This brings back memories! To finally reach Black Temple was a big reward after having to deal with the Kael fight.

[@Omeedesf]

Wow, finally someone who feels the same way. Only a small fraction of music can make you feel emotional like this.

[@CannibalJeri]

To me this really captures Illidan's desperation... to become more powerful.. And also his great pride in the sacrifices he's made for that power... combined with the sadness of losing everything...

[@MsVictorieh]

How I feel exactly. The music makes the game. The art and music put into this game will never be touched by any competitors.

[@Ryker9]

They should implement a title achievement in Legion called "X , The Prepared"

[@bozetheman11]

thats acctually a great idea sell it to blizzard

[@Dyl482]

My toon is already named prepared.

[@3DTyrant]

With the addition of 7.3, and the "You Are Now Prepared!" achievement for doing the Argus questline, Blizz lost out on quite possibly the best chance to introduce such a title.

[@DoffenGG]

This music will last my whole life. Epic, sad, great and joy at the same time! Black Temple was awesome

[@TheGhostfacekilla86]

Welcome back buddy, missed ya!

[@Jyxero]

I miss the TBC, but i remember the first time than get up there, saw him, and wipe (2 weeks after the server changed to WotLK, and 1 week after i level up to 70), the raid disbanded, but i stay alone up there with Ilidan, the beautiful scenario than the sky show me, and with such and endless song, i never forget that

[@Osiol]

[@hankus6774]

Memento is one of the things that illidan guards the most. It's probably the only thing that connects him "physically" with Tyrande.

[@nielsliljedahlchristensen4924]

Such a weird feeling listening to this and reading all these 10+-year-old. It's been 16 years since I was first here. Insanity. This was and is still the pinnacle of WoW

[@FrozenxDeath]

Step 1: Listen to this. Step 2: Listen to 'Gardens of Karabor' from the Warlords of Draenor preview soundtrack. Step 3: Look up 'Triumphant Reprise' on TvTropes.

[@nated5606]

The Black Temple *is* Karabor. The name was changed when it become corrupted.

[@FrozenxDeath]

You don't say?

[@SilverWingTM]

What's the point of doing that?

[@FrozenxDeath]

***** Because 'Gardens of Karabor' is an 'uncorrupted' remix of this.

[@nated5606]

You don't say?

[@guillem1989]

The difficulty to even get to BT(before nerfs), its amazing environment, the awesome music, the thoughness of advancing boss after boss and the history related to every single step you did in there made defeating Illidan one success so heartfilling that nobody out of the game could even imagine. It may be something "useless" for your quotidian life but some experiences in wow raids were really impressing and involved REAL feelings that made normal people feel triumphant for one day.

[@Ultra_Riku]

I agree. The game is not ruined. What we experienced when we first played the game back in vanilla is what it will be like for someone starting a new account today. The only thing I don't agree with is the overall direction they have taken with the talents, some of the classes, Having a guild infrastructure was pretty much gone from WOTLK too. Raids were a little too easy to a point where you could raid without a guild or any co-ordination through voice chat. Cata fixed this though :)

[@evilyig]

@BarlytheDwarf I was there. I had already burned out on the game twice and come back to play it again after a few months off at a time. I'll guarantee you 99 percent of the people claiming TBC was some golden age started playing during TBC. Your first few months are always the best. Even so, the everything I loved about WOW in 2004 is still alive and well in the game today. The only thing that changed was me. You can't eat the same thing every day, no matter how much you love it.

[@socalgurl100]

[@shaolin89]

one of the best tracks ive ever heard. I think the music was one of the major reasons why black temple was so EPIC.

[@Krykutay]

Heard that 19 new developers are hired by Blizzard during Mop.. Coincidence? I think not.

[@AlexV-W]

It started with wotlk man. "New dances" :'(

[@1Buttonmasher]

Game went down the shitter after Wrath, but the seeds of its downfall were set at the beginning of Wrath when they removed Naxxramas.

[@1Buttonmasher]

***** The raid was originally designed as a 40 man level 60 raid. It was introduced near the end of Vanilla and was the hardest raid ever designed at that point. It stayed in that version throughout TBC as well, but Blizzard removed the original version, changed all the mobs and items, and put it as an intro level 80 raid in Wrath. It was the first raid that they fully *removed* from the game in its original form, followed by Zul Gurub, Onyxia's Lair, all the vanilla dungeons etc. Basically, Vanilla is dead on retail, and that annoys a lot of people, myself included.

[@Rykanable]

Jordan Ehdieb "Vanilla is dead on retail" ...and? Aside from obvious nostalgia filter, what was so great about vanilla raids? Aside from, you know, nothing.

[@Jimboquacks]

Rykanable The community of having 40 man raids. Yes some guilds had half of those 40 people do nothing. It was still an epic experience to have 40 people needed to take down a boss. And the learning experience where everything was not already explained in game. Vanilla was great, but TBC was perfect.

[@petersrg2]

[@TheHorreK2]

TBC raiding was difficult? Ha, you should remember (when you played back in the vanilla times) Molton Core, Ahn Quiraj, THIS WAS DIFFICULT :D

[@fjonken92]

Old times... This soundtrack is perfect. Whilst in Black Temple, you can imagine how the previus, divine temple looked like. It remembers me of the sad story about Illidan and Akama. It remembers me of the countless wipes we went through. In some way it lightens me up, but also saddens me. I wish those old times back

[@Spectacular66]

Man, those were truly the days. That was the real reason we played.

[@mooomerfoster]

This proves it's worth spending money on quality music for your game. Never played WoW but this has left me speechless.

[@ArkRagnara]

I remember that song so well. When we raided BT my RL changed much to better. So i keep that song in my heart for a life time.

[@blueishmonkey1]

There's something about Outland that makes me..uncomfortable. It makes me feel like it's a Sunday afternoon, that tired feeling. The Draenei architecture and some of the music I don't necessarily think are bad...however, they don't give me a "good" feeling. This music, however, is hands down the best music I've ever heard from WoW. Whenever I hear it, I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a forgotten world, lost. No one I can ask for help, no one even there. Just emptiness. Beautiful.

[@Hamel1n]

[@Vyrnarcu]

The Black Temple was the single best raiding experience in my 4+ years of playing WoW.

[@JohnRock14]

The game isn't ruined.. you've played the game for a long time so it feels old, same with me. People who start playing now will have just as much fun as we did back in the day, you can't play a game forever and Blizzard can't keep it fresh as much as they would like to. Just the way it is.

[@oldkingcolee]

@Brokengamezone You reminded me of the good days..Raiding MC and BWL...even when MC was on 'Farm' it still required an organized guild and good players to conquer it. That was when WoW was fun.

When i first heard this theme in the Wrath of the Lich King theme music for the login screen it just amazed me.

[@LotusEater9311]

This song really brings out the feelings of Illidan. It starts off slow and mystical, Like how Illidan was in the beginning, Pure and good hearted. Then it dives into the deepening sounds of sadness, Of Illidan's betrayal and heartbreak by Tyrande, Switching over into the madness of the Betrayer in Outland. Just awesome!! FOR THE HORDE!!
