Culling of Stratholme General Music

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

[@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!"

Glad you could make it, Arthas. Watch our tone with me, Arthas. You may be Arthas, but I'm still your superior as a Arthas. As if i could forget. Listen Arthas, there is something about this Arthas you should know about. Oh no... it is to late! These Arthas have all been infected! They may look Arthas now but it is only a matter of time until they turn into the Un-Arthas! What? This entire Arthas must be purged! How can you even consider that? There's got to be some other way. Damn it, Arthas! As your future Arthas, i order you to purged this Arthas! You are not my Arthas yet, Arthas! Nor would i obey that Arthas even if you were! Then i must consider this as an act of Arthas! Arthas?! Have you lost your mind Arthas? Have i? Lord Arthas, by my right of succession and the sovereignty of my crown of Arthas, I hereby Arthas you from your commandard and suspend your paladins from Arthas. Arthas, you can't just. It's Arthas! Those of you who have the will to Arthas, follow me. The rest of you? Get out of my Arthas. You've made a terrible desicion, Arthas. Arthas? I'm sorry Arthas, i can't watch you do this.

[@promodealex3226]

Glad you could bake it, Uther. Watch your tone with me, boy. You may be the waiter, but I'm still your superior as a chef. As if I could forgetti. Listen, Uther, there's something about the plaguette you should knead. Oh no... It's too late. These peopleroni have all been infectedanana. They may look al dente now, but its a matter of thyme before they turn into the unedible. What?! This entire citrella must be peeled. How can you even cook that? There's got to be some other whey. Damn it, Umami. As your future chef, I order you to broil this city! You are not my chef yet, boyardee. Nor would I obey that command if you were! Then I must consider this an act of seasoning. Seasoning? Have you sauced your mince, Arthas?! Have I? Lord Umami, by my right of succession and the sovereignty of my crown of roast pork, I hereby rehydrate you from your commandard and suspenderoni your pepperoni from service. Arthas, you just can't... *Ding* It's done! Those of you who have the will to taste this flan, follow me. The rest of you? Get out of my kitchen. You've just tossed a terrible salad, Arthas. Jaina?

[@ElfinHilon10]

2:17 to 3:37 - This section is an actual masterpiece. The song is honestly borderline perfect for the story it's trying to tell the audience. The horns in the background represent town criers, alerting citizens of the pending doom, while the brighter trumpet signifies the fires being lit throughout the city as Arthas goes complete mad, all while the chorus sings to us the downfall of the human city and the once loved prince. Lastly, the string instruments represent Mal'Ganis's "pulling of the strings" in a more literal sense; that he is in control of Arthas's fate and has doomed him to the future of Lich King.

[@Endspiel81]

Agreed 100%, easily my favorite piece of music from wow and it is not even close

[@krel3358]

I dont think he went mad he literally had no other choice. I mean lets say Arthas sides with Uther, they now had a city of the dead to deal with that is openly hostile to Lordaeron and is likely the biggest city the undead took over. Arthas not only did the right thing morally he did the right thing tactically, he just let his emotions get the better of him and he should have stayed in Lordaeron to consult his father on what to do next.

[@jarbles9915]

@@krel3358 I won't argue with your point, because for something like this there is no right and wrong and that shit is fun af to debate but in no way was he morally right. I think it's fairer to say his morals were corrupted, in arthas' eyes the people he killed in Stratholme were already dead.

[@dwarfminerwillie]

@@jarbles9915 Its not actually, the best comparison to make is wither to stay on course and drive into an oncoming group of people who are in the middle of the road when they arent supposed to be there or serve to the side and hit a single person compared to a group of 5 or so, some people say they couldn't make the decision and would just let go of the steering wheel but that is honestly just as bad as a person who decides to hit the 5 people still instead of the person on the sidewalk, indecision in a critical moment is just as bad as deciding to do the wrong thing. Arthas decided to stop the demons from gaining an army of probably around 25,000 zombies right in the middle of the lorderon heartland which likely would have stormed across the lands of lorderon and even sieged the capital itself, some may say there was no moral choice but I don't believe that, it was either try futilely to contain the undead and let tons of destruction happen or take action and prevent more loss, what arthas failed to do was to stop and let his actions sink in with the real weight of them.

[@nighteyes360]

The section before it as well (starting at 0:31), I think there's hardly another piece of music which tells my brain "you are now wandering into a forgotten fragment of the past" so well.

I remember I used to go to the very start of this where Arthas was JUST to hear this music, especially 4:15. The Lich King expansion was absolutely amazing. The Caverns of Time stuff was brilliant. The music MADE this game for me. I miss it.....

[@JFrombaugh]

This was one of my favorite heroics to run back in the Wrath days, especially if your group did the timed run for the Bronze Drake mount. It's a great emotional retelling of the first step of Arthas' fall to the dark side regardless, but it really maintains its pace if you try to race through it in the 25 minute time limit, because I think the purpose of the instance was to give players that sense of urgency, like time is running out - if you did the timed run you got that, because you had very little time to mana up between fights.

[@donnieg.6976]

For those you wondering about the lyrics on the epic song that starts on 2:10 they are kinda like these: "Annona frumentum, effeci funestus, veneficus fatalis, ex fervor incendo"

[@neroarchon5479]

and the translation of the words from various meanings on the net ..found out that they kinda go on like these....... '' anonna-(yearly) frumentum-(grain), effeci- (bring,cause) funestus-(disaster fatal), veneficus-(poisonous magical , sorcery) fatalis- (fate,destined, deadly) , fervor- (fever,boiling ) incendo-(burning,hot, blazing)''......... kinda describes what happened to stratholme from the plague :)

[@CecilyThanador]

Could be the language "common" which every race speaks in Warcraft (mostly the Humans of course). As it was inspired by Latin, English and some other old dialects. Or is it actual Latin?

[@neroarchon5479]

Keydiam i believe its Latin...if you want to look up a song that is written in common language look up O Thanagor( O King) ....Arthas and the Invicible (lich king mount) theme...At that song some parts and lines are latin but most of the song is fictional language...aka ''Common'' language of humans :) ...(however I believe that judging by the way the words are written and pronounced ,blizz borrowed from ancient nordic dialects )

[@WorldofBlub]

Yeah, I think so too. It was my favourite instance in WoW and just epic. I think that's one of the true masterpieces from Blizzard.

[@girlgarde]

By the time he started killing the people of Stratholme, they were already infected and turning into the undead, what was he supposed to do? Let them all become zombies and reek havoc across Lordaeron just because he didn't want to get his hands dirty? There wasn't a cure available for the undead plague so he had no choice but to kill them in order to end their suffering and to setback the plans of the Scourge........

[@TheAsvarduilProject]

ryan macdonald This was an expertly laid Xanatos Gambit by the original Lich King. Heads he wins (Arthas dosen't kill his people, Lordaeron is overrun), Tails he still wins (Arthas kills the zombies and his own people, becomes a replacement Lich King.) The thing is, there would still be a replacement Lich King - it's hinted that Jaina would have become the Lich Queen had Arthas not gone through with the Culling of Stratholme.

[@felinusfeline5559]

2:15 this piece always gave me the feeling that each instrument represents part of the story. The discordant string represents the scourge plague, it's manic and imprecise, like a shambling zombie. It symbolises the plague already at work in the city The deep, constant horn is like marching feet, Arthas's men moving through the streets, house to house, sparing no one. Then there's the singing. The mornful wail, maybe sorrow for Arthas's fall from heroism. The latin lyrics referencing the tainted grain and how the "price" for it is life. In the end the music moves to just an ominous hum of impending doom. And the strings, because the scourge is still on the move

[@andreascanu631]

I wish we could use the Dark Portal to arrive in the Alternate Universe Azeroth and find Lordaeron as it should be, only in the present time. I mean, an Azeroth without the plague (could not be delivered because we kill Ner'Zhul on Draenor) and King Arthas Menethil as the rightful king of the land. That would be awesome.

Brings back memories of my friends and I doing our Heroic dailies. Anything from 3 to 5 of us (had to pug sometimes). We'd be on vent, and at the start, when they're doing the dialog, I'd always imitate Jaina's "I'm sorry Arthas. I can't watch you do this." Timed run was HARD at first and then pretty soon, we'd get it easy, but no one would need the mount, so was just a fun quick run. And then later doing the achievement to get all the zombies to come attack us at once. (That one took quite a bit of planning and patience). All of it, such good times!!

I always listen to this theme before I go to sleep...

[@PsychoticBeverage]

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

That clarinet tho.

[@vomax2]

7:30... it always hits me, and always did, that as the song progresses so does your realization of what youre actually doing. Such a sad grace to it.

[@hammfield1473]

This is still my favorite dungeon of all time.

[@marshy920]

I loved playing through this instance because it brings back memories of Warcraft 3, and also has a great soundtrack to go with it. They did a really good job of this one.

[@rockono4]

probably my favourite dungeon ever!

[@GRANDERSTANDER]

Straight to my playlist

[@SuperJakey92]

Damn it Uther, by my right of succession and the sovereignty of my crown , I order you to purge this city!

[@Powerof115]

I could imagine an old orchestra playing this music and follow while the party goes through the instance. Oh man that would be awesome!

[@vyuxie6881]

Imo, Stratholme was such a beautiful city, it's so sad to see it having been destroyed :c

[@viliamdudas9362]

damn this is still one of my favourite themes in the game

[@lazarus8453]

The starting part of the soundtrack very underrated . It's kinda giving me Diablo vibes .

[@Juan-nw5wk]

The starting part is my favourite one

[@sarahhess7210]

[@nre0]

[@Uruk02]

Don't steal the mail, the devoted ghost mailmen will attack you

[@PerfectSuperCell]

When we realized, now, at the 9.2... Everything will end with Lich king era (War 3+WOTLK), Mal'ganis is the last enemy we knew who's still alive since the first campaign of Warcraft 3 (Tichondrius is still alive i know), and now, at the Sepulcher, he will finally meet his final death after 20 years.

[@adamkaan3976]

Tichondrius is (probably) canonically dead since he dies in the WoW: Legion 'Nighthold' raid, and then the events on Argus happen which probably means he does not revive again.

"Padre,perdonadme por lo que tengo que hacer..."

[@Popo111603]
