This track makes me evolve.

[@diego6042]

With Sars-Cov-19 many people give a small evolution in his DNA, imagine a woman have a baby and this have new information, the DNA has IgG and maybe, in a future, evolve in a zerling hahahaha

The bass in 2:09 is arguably one of the best moments in game soundtrack history it's so damn catchy, dark and fitting to the theme

[@Jvuski]

cyberianrave my favorite part too!! Love the bass

[@yharnamiyhill787]

SC 1 has a special place in my heart. Superior story, characters, announcers, music - especailly the Zerg. I'd replace the sound file in SC2 for SC1 themes.

It's weird - while they were less evolved back then, I think the Zerg seemed more intelligent in the first game. Several of the Overlords' responses were even coherent.

well, they did have an overmind.

This haunting and deep sound is just overwhelming. Imagining hundreds of light years away there is the Zerg creeping and crawling in an ordered chaos through space and devouring all life that stands in it's way, the pulsing hivemind controlling the thoughts of millions and millions of minions.. You kinda need balls of steel to even think about it.

[@Lokanth]

Cosmic horror.

[@garygarypov5060]

War in space is objectively the worst. Starcraft _almost_ doesn't do it justice by giving the player (near)total agency in conducting that war, but you've got the idea.

[@cybergothika6906]

this song encapsulates the game "Indeed, you are a testament to my will and the fury of the Swarm." Overmind to the player (cerebrate) Only Starcraft 1 gave the feeling that the player is actually a very evil villain.

[@orkboy1621]

True. I dont even feel that im a hungry predator that wants to kill and evolve in StarCraft II, unlike StarCraft I.

[@SquatterLoki]

If I recall correctly, the fury of the Swarm was due to Xel Naga's genetic programming. They cannot help but to invade, infest and destroy. The Overmind has struggled to be free from this. So he captured Kerrigan because she has the largest psychic potential out there. To free the Swarm from the control of Xel Naga was a simple matter of letting himself be killed and let Sarah take control. If anything, the Overmind is selfless in a bizarre way.

[@patrickjack8101]

@@SquatterLoki that sounds a lot like a retcon :P

[@SquatterLoki]

@@patrickjack8101 Wait, the fluff about the Overmind being a chill dude has been retconned!?

[@casualcrusader1547]

im pretty sure lore-wise the overmind isnt actually evil, but rather just being constantly tormented by Amon and the x’elnaga. in reality the overmind is more so just an intelligent animal trying its best to evolve and survive

The zerg rush begins at 3:52 :)

[@coxxen]

My favorite part

[@Junghee001]

1:19 Always this part reminds me Full upgraded Zerglings running and overwhelming an enemy army and winning the battle

[@syweb2]

Cracklings are a force to be reckoned with.

[@MrBeaux]

I think this is the best song in both Starcrafts. It's just so epic, and perfectly encapsulates the flavor of the Zerg race.

[@urazsoktay5275]

Not Zerg race. Zerg are not a race. Zerg species is more like it.

[@rebelcybran5850]

I am glad that in SC2 you can listen SC1 songs because this Zerg theme is my favourite.

[@gondwanandreams7635]

Anyone else think the Zerg became too 'insectile' in the recent games? They used to be more 'beast-like' - kinda like the xenomorph in Alien. I don't have a problem with them evolving, because that's what zerg do....but still....i kinda miss the old Zerg

[@strelitziapete9071]

This music is fucking awesome you can really feel the power of the swarm and its evolution in this song, it wrecks the startcraft 2 music, this game was great in 99 still great now.

[@harkharring2572]

1:00 sounds of fire bats attacking and exploding, sounds of sunken colonies attacking, "nuclear launch detected", sound of an overlord.

[@wtfduud]

I'll never forget when this game finished installing and it played the sound at 0:00

[@rilke5536]

3:51 is like a primal futuristic cavalry theme: pure Zerg!

[@TranceSFX]

Holy fuck the feeling of isolation and dread from this song is unreal.

[@DefinitelyNotSemi]

Simply one of the best fitting game soundtracks to date.

[@urazoktay7940]

After a 1.19 min long building up the tension here comes the epic part. It's a masterpiece omg. I swear i feel like an alien listening to this, especially right after 1.19. I can almost feel like being a part of the hive.

[@puppet4978]

I remember trolling enemies by putting burrowed units under the mineral field. They be like, "Why can't I build a base?"

[@Irken_Invader_Zim]

Top kek

[@TheRojo387]

The Zerg themes reek more of mad science and virtual reality than unstoppable alien assimilation.

[@AidanMclaren]

I don't know, but I feel the 1st Zerg theme definitely has themes of them being a horrifying locust swarm that brings despair.

[@Ocotero19]

Evolution Complete!!!

[@starithm]

This is the best Zerg theme. Wow.

[@Raptor3Falcon]

2:57 onwards :- Scariest, spooky whistling during the night, when you dont know what's beyond the next corner. The Terror of the Unknown, imaginations running wild and uncomprehensible evils running amok........

[@tulkasainur]

I always liked this theme, it gives you the feeling that something very sinister is creeping in the dark waiting to attack you.

[@RavenWarrior90]

I love this "alien metal" style music. xD Hey Blizzard! Why not making a first person shooter based on squad warfare with horror, many action elements (guess what >.

[@EmreYavuzalp]

Why dont you make it yourself?

[@Demirbaykus]

There was something like that, but blizz canceled it. "Starcraft Ghost" you play as Nova

[@RavenWarrior90]

It should be a game about space marines or something ^^ ... not those typical special operatives, therefore we have Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, Hitman etc.

[@Demirbaykus]

Well maybe they could do something like alien vs predator like game :3

[@metropolice099]

armagetroid Would play.

[@Zagardal]

Man, the Zerg have good music in SC2, but I would've prefered something much closer to this than what we got.

[@strider_killer2919]

Zagardal I very much Agree! In ALL game franchises, for an exsample, Armored Core 1 and 2 vs Armored core 3+ In Armored Core 1 and 2, you had sound tracts that, at least for me, that where awesome. But in Armored Core 3, they introduced singing into the soundtrack of the game... It's not that I'm against singers but... In a game surrounding massive robots, that just doesn't mix.

[@krizz89]

Zerg theme 5 is really good tbh (in sc2)

[@kirschitz64]

The Terran music was spot on in SC2, it felt like an evolved version of the original. Zerg was alright, but not quite as good as sc1. The Protoss music was not to quality. The Sc1 music was far better.

[@Zagardal]

@@kirschitz64 terran music was good but I really miss the grungier sound. Same with the Zerg, that mix of edm and guitar licks was amazing. I think the new Protoss music kinda kept the heart in terms of composition but the arrangements were too clean, almost clinical; I liked that eerie sound it used to have. To be honest, a lot of it probably had to do with the tech they had available to them at the time? Shit sounds too good nowadays lol

[@Suddhadeep]

Dude what I really miss even more than the music is having overmind as an announcer. The broodmother just doesn't hit the right note. Abathur is the only one close, but he can't completely make up for the overmind.

[@myung-hyunkim1210]

The hive cluster is under attack!

[@kubermr29]

I am absolutely LOVE this song, it`s get me feeling like i`m the Horror that lurks in the darkness and waiting to devour the flesh of any victim i`ll see. Such a true Zerg Vibe.

[@marconico1012]

This part gives me the chills 0:51 -> 1:03 ->1:19 (start of climax) -> 1:27 -> 1:35 -> 1:47 (ending of climax) -> 2:00

[@navidtasouji7430]

I agree 100%. This part of the music really personifies the evolution and growth of the Swarm. The bass really sounds like a heartbeat too

[@AtaAndrada]

Definitely one of the most badass synth tone I've heard.

[@insovietrussiavodka]

Never played the game or knew of its existence untill a couple of years ago (C&C and other games is what I grew up with) But I remember this theme cause countless flash games inspired by the StarCraft universe, used it.

[@Myl1fe4aiur]

this track alone beats entire sc2 soundtrack

[@nighthawk82]

+Myl1fe4aiur lotv had some nice tracks (at least better than wol and hots) but you're right this track here is outstanding compared to those...

[@sasca854]

+Myl1fe4aiur Any of the Zerg or Terran tracks _easily_ trounce anything in SC2.

[@benharrykirk2824]

Actually, most of the LotV/Nova Covert Ops tracks are extended sections of SC1 music. The intro theme for Nova Covert Ops is an basically an extended version of about a six second section of one of the SC1 Protoss tracks.

[@Wilsbourne]

Perhaps. But SC2 still has very good tracks. I adore the SC2 Zerg music.

[@mons3020]

SC2's Zerg 2 reminds me of Metroid Prime, and the Terran themes are awesome, especially when it's more like southern rock.

The "alien chill riffs" are forever gone in Starcraft 2. The Zerg must infest them all so that they can bring the "alien chill riffs" back. (you know, the eerie almost whistle like trembling sound thingy?)

[@SqueaklesMcFinn]

Just go to option and change it to starcraft/broodwar

[@AiteFiripin]

hmm. ok.

[@Alouette_EXE]

This is the most "Zergiest" theme of all. I mean it fits zerg the most. The rest of the Zerg themes just sound like generic doomsday music.

[@Alouette_EXE]

@@androsg100 I meant the others sound more cliche and doesn't only fit for the zergs. This sounds not only more fitting but sounds exclusive. And I disagree with that other races not even close because i also love terran's theme

[@Alouette_EXE]

Also Zergs aren't necessarily evil. They just want to live and it's not their fault their hungry all the time. So yeah this song doesn't sound evil like the rest but it sounds more like "Zerg" than evil.
