[@Adnan-si9wq]

While Shadow of War is superior gameplay wise, the main theme, this theme and the whole aesthetic of Shadow of Mordor still stands out as more darker and touching.

[@seanduerksen9173]

Adnan I whole heartedly agree, I was happier playing this game despite the lack of content because the soundtrack was better and there was a certain simplicity to it, there was no grind

[@andystampers3922]

Two years late to the party, agreed. Shadow of War is prettier than a game set in Middle-Earth should ever be.

[@vortexgaming9779]

I agree, this is a dark revenge story, SOW is more of an action story.

[@tspoon772]

I don't think Shadow of War was superior in gameplay

[@isaiasvalladares4210]

I agree; SOM was more behind enemy lines

[@Stevenson14]

I stay on the options menu for a long time just to hear this song

[@mafia_trilogy_enjoyer]

1:04 I love this part. This piano is just amazing.

[@diederickkruse8695]

Thanks for the bookmark😊

[@TheAlphaLegionnaire]

You can feel the teeth grinding malice Talion has for Sauron and Mordor itself. Such a great piece

[@jamiegreyy]

People commenting saying the song is soothing even though in a way haunting. It's supposed to be both. Mordor is a hellish place but Talion brings hope. I think that's what the song is trying to get across.

[@professionalcheekclapper7608]

Dope!

[@MohammadAliKhalil]

Super soothing for me Even the dark stuff is soothing to me 😂

[@prestigewolf7070]

The Middle Earth series and Skyrim are by far my most favorite games, will never forget them

[@thatboyakira4202]

"Nothing will be forgotten".

[@Squatimus]

This song seemingly is for Talion, having such a peaceful but depressing feel, as he did lose his family and couldn't find true peace in death.

[@Kazzard89]

Name: Talion Origin: Latin Meaning: Justice

[@MLPMichael]

Even in the pause menu...THE PAUSE MENU! It has great music. I cannot recall any game I know to have such great pause menu music

[@gloriouspurpose_]

It is great. I liked the music that played in mafia 2's menu as well

[@ezioauditore6371]

So true 😂😂😂

[@RustyShackelford38]

I think it's safe to say, this song is actually beautiful

[@JinX_11199]

I can't be the only one that thinks this is soothing and peaceful rather than depressing and dark?

[@Omnivulf]

awesomekid120 I agree, its so peaceful!

[@marymcrae9691]

+awesomekid120 Must the two be mutually exclusive?

[@BillKillerz]

Depends on your mindset when listening to but yeah I get what you are going for ;)

[@madheadproductions]

AfroNinja1111 death is soothing and peaceful.

[@cadethumann8605]

Head of Madness Sadly, in the protagonist's case, he is stuck in a hellhole instead of moving along with his wife and son.

[@theslickdevil8560]

Is it me or the music from this game is waaaayy better than Shadow of War

[@hewhoisme4343]

I like the music from Shadow of War but I didn't really notice it like I did in Shadow of Mordor

[@VariableZero]

@@hewhoisme4343 It’s definitely not as stand out as Mordor. One of its best songs is found behind Blade of Galadriel.

[@Manofculturee]

I love this song....It's the feel of too much pain of Talion :)

[@dlcspawn]

tal cual.. se siente triste escucharla hermosa pero dolorosa...

[@guitarwhelp]

a truly great game. the fact that even the options menu had such a beautiful piece...shows what lesser games really need to do to step up.

[@LuRey28]

Love the piano

[@ksztaltchmur]

This music is so freaking atmospheric, slaps so hard!

[@Where_Was_Gondor]

I'm getting chills just thinking about Talion💔

[@fanoflego456]

He had a very tragic story.

[@ezioauditore6371]

😢😢😭

[@TracerX]

Playing it with the Power of Shadow outfit.

[@vortexgaming9779]

The end of his story ❤️

[@DeOrestes]

Best version

[@tygur2187]

I loved LotR and when I got this game every night before I would go to bed after every play session I would read all the lore on items and characters and this music made doing that much more enjoyable. Best game I ever bought! Love you Talion ❤️, may you find peace in death.

[@izzfoshizz9982]

this game is AMAZING

[@Lalaxbo]

The music score in Shadow Of Mordor is fantastic 😮🙂

[@strandburger6353]

They even made the pause menu music great

[@akatsukicloak]

Brilliant music! Brilliant game!

[@Krysis215]

God damn those staggered keys...they are going straight through me...

[@Yes-Bean]

This is such a big contrast to the shadow of war menu theme. This one is really dark and gives you a mordor feeling and the shadow of war one gives you more of like a feeling that you are amongst men

[@FaLL0uTZ0mBie]

Wasn’t really a huge lotr fan so going into this game I wasn’t sure what to expect. But the second I heard that piano I was instantly hooked

[@gabrielchastain6091]

1:30 when the pianoes kick in at that part does it sound like a somber and sad tone and make anyone else feel emotional or is that just me?

[@alptugtumay4781]

So much pain...

[@Fischstix95]

Reminds me of the Installation/Menu music to Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

[@lithiumx0x]

that's exactly what I was thinking

[@iamvegeta2008]

The whole POP series didn't had a music so beautiful like that...its a shame they only made it to use for installation....& its bloody frustrating that the duration was only about 2 minutes.

[@dhlhthriwdhskissos9606]

@@iamvegeta2008 that music appears in game too , although I don't remember where exactly.

[@danyort1014]

@@dhlhthriwdhskissos9606 It appears first at the ship graveyard - the shore, the very first location Prince finds himself after ship fight. All these sounds of air, waves, the moving wooden pieces of ship and the waterfalls, cliffs and ruins - it was the perfect place for this OST. It also starts playing in most of locations in present time

[@Adnan-si9wq]

I've reinstalled this game and now listening to this and preparing for Shadow of War

[@broccoli9289]

Such an epic game

[@Yes-Bean]

and very underrated as well😥

[@lossvoise6814]

Pure dark beautifulness - truly masterpiece ambient.

[@rocketmik65]

tragedy, in the heart of a dangerous land.

[@FunkyMunkey00_]

The piano hits beautifully

[@ilovewubs96]

Never played the 2nd one but I did like this game a lot. Used to listen to the menu song late at night while laying in bed lol.

[@BeefHammer1]

The second one improves on all fronts.

[@ThaGodKyng]

Starting from 1:05 can someone make a full tutorial on how to play the whole piano part please

[@gamer4lyfez325]

Did you find it? If yes please post a link.

[@Ginger_Tank]

2020 forever shadow of mordor

[@anltaktak5639]

Im literally sleeping with this music.

[@Pty23]

First heard this while I was reading Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archives. It basically became my theme song for the series...I think it fits pretty well.

[@sadalface]

I was kinda surprised to hear the best part of the song when I went to get something

[@Cobra_125]

Such a brilliant soundtrack. This theme in particular contains the wisdom and mystery of Celebrimbor, the tragic determination of Talion, the danger of Mordor, the beauty of Nurn; all in just a couple minutes. And it's just ambience for the in-game menus! That is quality.

[@sonicfan112]

this reminds me a bit of the binding of isaac

[@enchiladatamata7786]

For some reason 0:45 to 1:00 is my favourite part. Just the war horn sounding sends chills.

[@thathandsomedevil0828]

It is a sad and haunting theme. 😥

[@MajinVegito100]

Fantastic!

[@olivermyers6777]

When 1:05 hits…

[@doescolder24]

The best game of the last generation imo. I remember fairing it up on my brand new PS4 then I quickly got addicted to shanking thousands of Uruks

[@childishsadbino2458]

Man this song is amazing. It perfectly captures the sad nature of the game

[@vortexgaming9779]

I love the dark ambience of this game so much.

[@CosmicWaffle26]

The piano part is my favorite

[@soulofconflict]

0:50 is my favourite part.

[@MohammadAliKhalil]

The whole thing is good wtf you talking about lol

[@diogopereira4473]

Such peace...

[@TKNoire]

1:50 always goosebumps

[@ItsJeul]

Is there one that someone's recorded of it on loop yet? I love having the music on in the background without having the game on. :P

[@wvhdogg]

try youtuberepeat.com (you can write repeat in the url of this video)

[@ItsJeul]

Thanks! Didn't know about that site before.

[@stelioskostakis7114]

[@cgadison]

I JUST started this game on PS Now and it's AWESOME. WHERE have I BEEN!? I'm definitely getting the sequel and side note love this theme.

[@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer]

You're playing on PS now? You do realize that it comes on PS4 as well, not just the PS3...

[@rxshovxx]

My corpse 2 weeks after funeral service

[@Etriel321]

Does anyone know if this song is actually on the official soundtrack and what the real name of this song is? I've already checked, this is NOT "The Gravewalker".

[@BeefHammer1]

If you like this game you should definitely play the sequel.

[@manjeet29gaming6]

1:04

[@Ginger_Tank]

I like the piano part

[@a-bovea-ve-rage]

"You are Talion"

[@jesustyronechrist2330]

I really prefer Shadow of Mordor over War. Talion looks too pristine in War, as if he's not really even "walking from his grave" each time he does. In Mordor, he looks like dogshit. He looks tattered, like he really climbed from a corpse pit few moments ago.

[@timurwilson1255]

This track would fit the opening scene of Macbeth, when he comes across the witches

[@bnmutlaq]

Couldn't find in iTunes , please help

[@KingDDD999]

does anyone have any examples of other songs that sound kind of like @ 0:45-1:00 ? i wouldn't know what to look up to find a desert-y feeling song like that

[@0IIIIII]

Try maybe 009 Sound System

[@coomer5826]

if you don't mind classic music, i'd try Erik Satie's "gnossienne no 1".

[@ARWENPUPPY]

Everywhere I go in the fantasy worlds like The Witcher or Dark Souls, I always see Talion's face.. (SHADOW OF WAR SPOILERS) I just... Really miss him.. After that.. Heartbreaking Nazgul ending...

Sounds from the underworld

[@mythicaldbkeys3404]

I played this game 3 years ago

[@Caim6311]

@@mythicaldbkeys3404 it's actually a best game for low end PCs. I actually bought Shadow of war goty on sale couple years ago it's sad to say that wb games shut down the server I don't know why. The game is hard on console but it gets easier if you know how to block. I actually survived a massive horde of udruks by blocking, executions, and counter attacks.

[@BJenno]

For a game that is not canon to Tolkien’s work; but at least the developers tried to put in as much source material into the game. At least they were trying.

[@sbraypaynt]

This game was kinda painfully average It spat on Lotr lore and had kinda a dumb pacing Regardless it was still strangely fun and has a great soundtrack so at least there’s that

[@RZmovement]

average? i dont think so... the only problem in my opinon is that we should have started the series with talion early life or pre mordor story... could have been much more impact on this game..

why did it spit thr lore
