Tristram Extended 1 Hour | Diablo Original Sound Track | High Quality | Fantasy Music | HQ | D1 OST

Composed by Matt Uelmen (1996)
Ambiance for tabletop fantasy games, reading, relaxing, sleeping, etc.

[@Julian-AJCP]

By far the most atmospheric game ever created... And a lot of that atmosphere is owed to the soundtrack. This game will always have a special place in my heart.

Godly Plate of the Whale..Archangel's Staff of Apocalypse..Arkaine's Valor..Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac..King's Sword of Haste..So many absolutely wonderful memories.

[@espilisboa7168]

Me as well yes. I do well remember how the butcher stating "Fresh Meat" chasing out my brother's warrior character away from that room. As soon as my brother and me shouting in the dark living room, we were both scolded by our mother as we were Catholic Family and told us not to play the game. My brother said it was my fault, but damned.... that scary butchers room somehow scarred the sheet out of my childhood. Now already done with D2, D3, and now waiting for D4.

"Thank goodness you've returned! Much has changed since you lived here, my friend. All was peaceful until the Dark Riders came and destroyed our village. Many were cut down where they stood, and those who took up arms were slain or dragged away to become slaves or worse. The church at the edge of town has been desecrated and is being used for dark rituals. The screams that echo in the night are inhuman, but some of our townsfolk may yet survive. Follow the path that lies between my tavern and the blacksmith shop to find the church and save who you can. Perhaps I can tell you more if we speak again. Good luck!"

[@BadenBattleBase]

An outstanding composition for a groundbreaking game. The stars aligned at Blizzard North in those days...

[@DiabloRealm]

Yes. You know it. Gamers making games for gamers. Not college art school grads looking to make a buck. The people who made D1 and D2 knew gamers wants and needs thats why they were able to make such enduring titles.

I played this game yesterday after probably not having played Diablo for over a decade, and was totally creeped out. :D

[@martini9388]

When I was young I was told a tale. Tale of Blizzard North shippiing Diablo I Beta and realizing that ppl go creazy bout it. Than deciding to finish game earlier and move some nearly ready quests to Diablo II. I was always sure its just fairy tale told by me and other diablo fans. Just recently discovered Belzebub mod for diablo 1 where all those quests, with original voice acting, are brought back to life. Izual, Andariel, Hell Forge and more. Damn, this game was one of best games of my childhood even after being stripped out of lots of its original content. Such a masterpiece

[@lemao7010]

It was a hell of a game. The Blizzard of today looks nothing like that.

[@FaithSeeker_]

Imagine listening to this while sitting on the ground, leaning against the trunk of a large tree and looking up at the sky under the moonlight.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

I do this sometimes... Haha. Especially this time of year. I always go outside in the Dark on Halloween night and listen to this.

[@OrnithopterS1]

Probably had by some corporate hiring gimmick to stand in circles k owing you were never going to meet the boss. Everyone elevating you to talk up to each other. Ppfaa

[@Medieval3d3d]

Always I listen this music... I imagine deep into an old forgoten forest at a very dark night you can feel the fresh air through your lungs as well as the wet fallen leaves under your feet, you are surrounded by a forest of branches... every shape around looks as a dark shade because it is a night with no moon, the smell of charred wood appears occasionally mixing with the environment... your heart suddenly bumps abruptly you get that feeling of cold skin and at same time you feel the warm of your very own blood going all over your body

[@beagleboi1442]

I may hold Diablo 2 as one of my favorite games of all time but there's just something about the atmosphere setting and soundtrack of the first game that just can't be topped in my eyes

[@Cheximus]

Luckily D2 still had an incredible soundtrack. Tristram will never be topped, but it's a shame there's probably one good song in the whole of D4.

[@natesiegwart1264]

Diablo 1 scared me. Diablo 2 excited me.

[@arkenonporos8511]

Me and my friend was chilling at summer camp on the Black Sea beach Krimea, we was about nine years old and he told me You know Tony, it is not a pleasure to be here, the real pleasure is to play Diablo. That how I meet Diablo for the very first time of my life.

[@Corristo89]

The mood this theme conveyes... amazing to this day. Tristram is the safe hub in the game, the only place where you're safe from the horrors lurking below. But you're never supposed to feel too safe to stay a while and listen. After all, you had a quest to complete and it was only a matter of time before hell would spill into the world.

[@trommnorse]

This game, and many other games (regardless of what some people who try to besmirch this medium will tell you) is one of those groundbreaking things that one carries with him/her until the very end and even beyond. This is simply a token of what people are capable of, the testament of the power of art, the ability to change others with this sincere and honest thing that came out of the artist and was molded by everything the artist loved -- and put into a piece of art of his/her own in order to further draw the circle of wonder, and passion, and creativity.

[@the7thstring602]

Always feels bad knowing the fate of those of Tristram

[@videogamerNattie98]

Because I was actually one of the smart ones to play Diablo's series in the correct order I didn't know what would happen to Tristram when I played Diablo 1. And Unfortunately this soon to be dumpster fire for King Leoric's Son Aiden, and his Friends is not a good time well at least for them its quite the hell of a time for players though.

[@danasmith9122]

When my wife and I made a haunted house for the neighborhood kids, we were out in the deep dark woods, had dozens of ghosts and phantoms strung on the trees, the moonlight spilling in through the autumn leaves, and THIS song echoing through the woods as they approached. This song is so great at creating a weird feeling of eerie foreboding and beauty at the same time.

[@AlexeyDance]

In 1999, when a friend came to me and saw the intro of this game, heard the music, I played SONY PS: he asked what it was and whether it was possible to play it with two people on joysticks. How many butchers and Leorics we have crumbled, starting again and again. It was an amazing time.

[@KingAltadorTV]

This song just hit me right in the childhood. I played the very first Diablo during the first year it was out. Great times and ever better memories. I'll never forget the very first time I heard this song and when I heard Deckard Cain say, stay awhile and listen.

I have to wonder if Tristram was inspired by an actual little town. It has its small plot of farming land, a few rivers and streams that crisscross it, its smithy, a village elder, a hermit's shack way off to the side, and even its own little humbly constructed church(which certainly stands out from a gameplay standpoint as "the place to go" with its stony frame and red hot glow). And then some wily game designer said: "Why not create a gigantic underworld beneath it that belies such self-sufficient humility and humanity?"

[@emissarygw2264]

Man I really miss that. The idea of descending into a church that's been corrupted and turned into an annex of hell. D2 and D3 just don't capture that feeling... like, "please go out to the wilderness and fight some midgets in a cave" just doesn't hit the same as walking into the basement of a demonically infested church that's glowing with eerie red light and then getting ambushed by skeletons and zombies popping out of coffins. Sure D2 was a technically superior game, but damn D1 really nailed the atmosphere.

[@VesperAegis]

@@emissarygw2264 Truth bomb deployed. Well said, sir/madame.

[@Freezerburn137]

There's some aspects of the games that were actually inspired by real events and people so I could see that being plausible that it's based on a real town. The countess quest for example in Diablo 2 is based off the "Blood Countess of Slovakia", from the Čachtice castle.

Still the best game in the serious and this is not nostalgia talking. Diablo 2 was great. Great music but lacked this feeling of isolation being stuck in a little village barely holding out. D2 took you to the desert and to a fucking rainforest...and let's not even talk about the disgrace that they call Diablo 3. But then again....most of the original devs had already left after D2. EDIT: I highly recommend Book of Demons. It is a Diablo 1 inspired games where you play with papercard characters. Nothing beats the original but in terms of gameplay and atmosphere this is as close as it gets.
