Wrath of the Lich King Soundtrack: Arthas, My Son

Title says it all. I hope you like it!

[@T0mN7]

Arthas: FATHER! Is it over? King Terenas: No expansion rules forever, my son. Arthas: I see only pandas before me...

[@T0mN7]

***** :D

[@diva4etu]

best comment i saw this year XDDD

[@pako_powr]

Ramster Hellsing His copy-paste skills are quite remarkeable , I sincerely doubt he came up with that on his own since I've seen that comment 1000 times before.

[@diva4etu]

Nimbo well this is my first time seeing this XD so ya XD

[@VuDkaHs]

hahahaha

[@TheMasterdisaster14]

If anyone wants to know what the vocalist in 00:40 says its as so: An Karanir Thanagor ENGLISH: Long live the King Mor Ok Angalor May his reign last forever Mor Ok Gorum... May his strength.... Pala Uh'm Ravali Ah'm. Fail him never.

[@TheGuitarpro3]

What language is she speaking? People who sing in foreign languages are always so majestic and beautiful!

[@SterbenNL]

+IraqUpBeaches The lyrics are very loosely based on Latin, but the language is possibly just made up. It can be either common (which is the human language in the warcraft universe) or Thalassian (Edit: High Elf)

[@TheGuitarpro3]

Obi-Wan SIutobi It amazes me what some humans can do with some imagination and skill!

[@athalia3661]

+Obi-Wan SIutobi Thalassian is the blood elf/high elf language. night elves speak Darnassian.

[@SterbenNL]

+Athalia My mistake. I thought I typed high elf.

[@Sluurp90]

WoW died with Arthas, RIP...

[@coffeeaddict9847]

Citra you do know you can just solo icc right?

[@rockngaming2060]

I'm still here

[@kingbrachy9035]

0:38 epicness T_T

[@marslord1730]

OOO Carner ni nanano.

[@JohnDiabol]

Gives me chills every time I listen to it. The soundtrack really makes half the game.

[@kronoscamron7412]

+JohnDiabol tbh, one of the things blizz did right was the music, the game has extraordinary music.

[@JohnDiabol]

feelus maximus So very true. Even to this day, with all the crap we've had to put up with in the newer expansions, the music at least has still been excellent.

[@yusifverdiyev7730]

For me, he is not a villain, He is a HERO!!!

[@flyssss]

Common Lyrics O Thanagor An Karanir Thanagor, Mor Ok Angalor Mor Ok Gorum Pala'Ahm Raval Ro-mun A'l Ga Ballog A'l Enthu Korok Na Boda Ha! Ma! Da! Ma! Erigo Eo Draco Modo!

[@abderrahmanioussama1387]

blizzard just created one of the best villains in games in everything his voice / his story / his power / how he fall even the soundtrack is one of the best who agree with me

[@sterlingstone3332]

I still live!

[@horner385]

Lich King SORRY I'M A LITTLE LATE COULDN'T FIND ANY DARK DWARVES

[@vietnamesehussar8921]

An karanir THANAGOR !

[@coffeeaddict9847]

Lich King all hail the king of liches all hail athes

[@soldiergigas14]

when i hear certain parts of this soundtrack, it gives a feeling of isolation and loneliness, picturing yourself in a cold winter environment where there is nothing. you're are alone, forced to walk this cold path and no one to look for...

[@athalia3661]

+soldiergigas14 "you are are alone" is literally what you said.

[@soldiergigas14]

oops..

[@MuhammadZaidiwater]

+soldiergigas14 yep that right..Hey your comment is epic :D

[@infernothelastelemental514]

soldiergigas14 really for me it's a night elf singing beautifully (call me a nerd if ya like)

[@babyvee7615]

Arthas: _Father...! Is it... over?_ King Terenas: _No king rules forever, my son..._ Arthas: _I see... Only darkness... before... me..._

[@marebellofiore3810]

Sylavanas:No king rules forever

[@user-cm7fg5zv5n]

Ulther: Justice!!

[@gingersnaps576]

So beautiful! One of my favorite tracks from WoW.

[@connorthesaucejones]

Even though he's a true bastard, I like Arthas as a character. His obsession with wanting to protect his people being turned against him was tragic, as were the events leading up to it, like how he began to lose hope after so many had become undead in Lordaeron, and how he felt Uther, his father, and even Jaina had abandoned him. He had so much potential, he could've been a better king than Varian Wrynn, 'tis a shame

[@Danolsen93]

I'm sorry for doing this but this story, for some odd reason, is the dearest of all fiction stories ever made to me. He didn't feel like his farther, King Llane, abandoned him. He knew his farther would not approve the purge of stratholme, the trip to northrend or arthas taking his army with him. It is true though that uther and Jaina dissaproved. There is so much depth to the whole story of how it all was planned by Ner'Zhul, how Arthas was ment to be driven mad. Oh man, just thinking about it tears me up. Such a dramatic and wonderful written story.

[@albikocia887]

u right he is better than Varian Wrynn idk any story of him he has done nothing and he is nothing.If Arthas will be king of alliance he will have more story.

[@LoneRising]

Albi Kocia Sorry bud, but Varian has a pretty awesome backstory too :)

[@albikocia887]

***** good rly good but for now he is nothing

[@nickguilliams8803]

Dan Olsen Tragic ending for Ner'Zhul tho. He got reckt by Arthas.

[@jippy33]

Tell them only that the Lich King is dead. And that World of Warcraft died with him.

[@m4rx3l84]

World of Warcraft die ? Legion,first Day, 3,3 mln copy :P

[@vijaz5559]

he meant before legion...

[@idkfightme]

And there must always be a Lich King, only Arthas died.

[@rubiolo1019]

yep, WoW is staying up forever xD

[@magkinn]

Shut up loser i mean poor guy

[@capcaplachbach2740]

My true king !

[@SarahBaybi3]

I get cold chills from this song EVERY TIME. Never fails.

[@BrigadoomNorth]

It's been over ten years and I still tear up.

[@FltschixD]

So come then, you heroes! Come in all your power an glory! For in the final hour, all must serve tho one ... true ... KING!

[@ricksanchez6140]

Nothing hits me harder in the nostalgia feels than this song

[@QuartzJones]

I feel this theme could have fit perfectly into a Lord of the Rings movie

[@yesmlord9483]

***** Well in an interview a blizzard dev said wow was a bit inspired by "warhammer", and warhammer is inspired by LOTR so yeah you could say that.

[@roycephantom4me]

***** repetitive? WOD is repetitive ? u must not know what ur talking about

[@killer44999]

***** can you not remember wrath ever kid in the country was playing this games thousands of 12 year old dks.

[@foxsnipushiwa8431]

yea x) i never think that but yes x)

[@Blackholefourspam]

I just want an entire song of 0:57 - 1:12

[@grape9454]

ikr why has no one made it

[@s_applepie4998]

It's called invincible.

[@redraven9278]

The moment when you finally killed the lich king and this starts playing. I still recall it. WoW was a hell of a drug & game.

[@k01dsv]

Oh my god I am going to cry now :'( so much nostalgia! :D

[@MakarasTube]

I'm not a WoW fan, but I have to admit, this soundtrack is just crazy epic shit. Gave the expansion a try on a friends account and even through I did not stayed for long, it was fun to play.

[@lemonjuice3826]

Yeah Blizzard got good sound tracks for their games.

[@alegraviele1962]

Well, I think this soundtrack was originally part of Warcraft 3 TFT (ending of the campaign).

[@victorsalazar5030]

Alegra Viele It was mate, different arrangement but same song.

[@albikocia887]

I love his song.I love everything he done.Forever Lich King.Live forever Arthas

[@Ren3gaid]

Albi Kocia Yea, he killed his father, teacher and his people. Such people are the real heroes :p

[@JamailvanWestering]

+Ren3gaid i have a double feeling on that killing his people one because if they were infected they couldn't have done anything for them anymore and they chang just into Undead

[@coffeeaddict9847]

Albi Kocia he is dead so lol

[@coffeeaddict9847]

(Guy pops out of no were) grats

[@cburton99]

I almost cried :( R.I.P WoW

[@cburton99]

InoshiKenshi Wasnt saying it isnt alive. But to me the game is isnt the same anymore and R.I.P to Vanilla, BC and WOTLK :P

[@3lit3gn0m3]

InoshiKenshi Flying was never an issue for me. The problem with WoW from my perspective, is that the playerbase influencing Blizzard's decisions are the same people who care more about flying than meaningful character progression.

[@cburton99]

InoshiKenshi Lol

[@dranoshsaurfang9554]

cburton99 FOR LOARDENOR FOR ARTHAS FOR THE NEW ORDER!

[@feorius622]

+cburton99 I cried when Arthas took his seat atop the throne in the rts warcraft 3 wrath of the lich king ;(

[@samwisegamgee6206]

Tell them only that the Lich King is dead and that World of Warcraft died with him. Now go leave this game and never return!!!

[@mitanoo9090]

No king rules.. forever my son... There will always be a king" dont get your hopes down gamgi

[@Darkleok]

Mitanoo The lich king might be dead, but there always must be a Lich King so that the world won't end in the horror of the lich army. #RIP Bolvar xx.xx.2009

[@abomjbal]

You can play wotlk Privet server arena trumeant

[@MajkyTheButcher]

Samwise Gamgee Thats the reason why i play only WotLK private servers

[@cjg3496]

Not to me

[@bagelsecelle9308]

I tell you this my son, for when my days comes to an end... you shall be... KING

[@elivance6063]

0:38 All that needs to be said

[@IceBloose]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I've been looking for this music for a long time!

[@rayraysss]

An Karanir Thanagor, Mor Ok Angalor. Mor Ok Gorum Palahm Raval. Ro-mun A'l Ga Ballog A'l Enthu Korok Na Boda... Ha! Ma! Da! Ma! Erigo Eo Draco Modo! Mor Ok Gorum Pala'ahm Mor Ok Croval Angalor Thanagor... Mor Ok Gorum Pala Ah'm raval Specto Su Praesenti... Caligo Caelum... Mor Ok Croval Anga'lor Karanir Thanagor... Karanir Thanagor!

[@TheSteOli]

this soundtrack just shows the epicness of the patch itself...damm miss those days

[@MuhammadZaidiwater]

Arthas story and its song is epic, tragic and emotional,after reading his novel Arthas rise of the Lich King,i think he is probably the best written lore character ever made in Wow.

[@farbodbadihi5332]

+Irwan Haziq how/where do you get the novels ? :)

[@MuhammadZaidiwater]

in bookstore

[@farbodbadihi5332]

+Irwan Haziq thanks !

[@JamailvanWestering]

I would say the 3th actually, I would go with Jesus (Thrall) first and then Malfurion Stormrage and then Arthas

[@georgethomas4367]

I can't look at Arthas without seeing a tacked on Darth Vader at times. But I still love his character.

[@Dolledodo]

I haven't been playing WoW since WotLK and this still gives me shivers when I listen to it full volume. Damn.

[@yodelingmuppet9831]

this makes me want to get his armor and frostmourne to get on a snowy mountain and build a frozen throne and live there for awhile that would be sweet.

[@pelle784]

Yodeling Muppet and raising the undead to get me some popsicles

[@Jboyrage]

0:40 - 1:12 is some of the most atmostpheric, chilling pieces of music I've ever heard. Blizz probably spent more money on that trailer and music than most studios do on a movie, because it is EPIC.

[@Vincenzzo111]

who else is listening to this in winter?

[@KreiideHeartz]

listining to this in summer

[@91XxBaTiStAxX91]

I miss these days very hardly, the atmosphere at our first Arthas hc-kill...unbelievable! These were the best WoW-days i've ever had.

[@bryangamero8132]

The only bad guy in wow that actually looked badass

[@NichtDerFaca]

+bryan gamero ehm.....illidan ?

[@bryangamero8132]

Yeah, but look at arthas,that badass armor ,sword ...

[@JamailvanWestering]

Deathwing and Malygos

[@pelle784]

Illidan isn't bad. Just misunderstood :)

[@Witchkingrider]

Wotlk was by far my favorite xpack, it was the one that got me playing WoW. Had the best music, coolest raids, etc. Had the best cinematic as well. Overall just badass.

[@ricksanchez6140]

Imagine the wow movie does well and they make a movie about Arthas and it has this song in it I would die happy no lie

[@Chocopacotaco1413]

+Jacob the move they are making now should have been about arthas, but i agree

[@JamailvanWestering]

+Derek Halder not really I think the set-up will be, first war, 2th war and beyond the dark portal after which maybe a 2 part movie about the 3th war

[@PhoenixMoonSong]

its a boy, only a boy could produce such a pure soprano tone like that. Most operas for years were sung by children. Most soprano women are jelouse that they cant sing like that. lol. I love this song. Its so beautiful. Haunting, Sad, Then so full of Purpose at the end. Just like Arthas. With Teneris talking over it I think on what he says and how Arthas has used his words, although not in the way his father intended. Kudos to the Poster of this song. TY So much.

[@OrochiJr97]

0:40 Arthas:Father,is it.....over? Arthas's Father ghost:At long last. No king rules forever. Arthas:I see..only darkenss..before me.(dies in his Father's arms)

[@byronbenzavega8335]

His father is terenas menethil btw

[@upthebikez]

I still get chills whenever I listen to this song.

[@duttonchops2489]

Please let the Lich King be the ruler of the White Walkers

[@SoulKiller15]

I love the female vocal... down right beautiful... Brings tears to my eyes... I wish there was more with her in it.

[@R3ap3r18]

When I first heard this I thought it was from lord of the rings

[@fallout3fan94]

This song gives me chills because it has a tragic sound to it, which makes it perfect song for Arthas, who is one of the most tragic villains ever.

[@ZeroCGR2]

After pandas... yet another expansion. Who would have guessed?

[@idik111]

pandaria have been the best one, in a lot of peoples opinions

[@zyndyr5984]

Sarah Vittrup i'd agree with that opinion if they were on about aftergame (after 90) But when it came to lore, I'd say anything past WOTLK was crap.

[@idik111]

Dan Parsons i really like the lore of pandaria too, but not a big fan of cata :s

[@nabeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal]

cata's lore is better than pandas.. but the best motherfucking lore of all time, war of the fucking ancients.

[@Tereith]

Nabil EL Mokaddam i don't know why people dislike cata so much over panda. I really can't stand mop. It destroyed everything. Atmosphere of what world was just got disbanded. Cata was a lot better than mop. People just got sick of it after so long time being on the market without anything new. Though WoD looks really promissing

[@ryanbushka7440]

I skipped school pretending I was sick for the release of this expansion. I don't think I can ever replicate the fun I had during it.

[@atzebww]

where is my 10 h version >.

[@DomenTheChief]

For when my days have come to an end, You,... Shall BE King. One of my favourite game soundtracks.

[@Frozenkoldfury]

So much hate for MoP. Cant handle Pandaren? *Sigh*

[@slaughteringgg]

I always get chills around 0:40 - 1:15. Arthas....you will be missed.

[@Damoygames]

[@milenkapitanov8464]

10 years later...this thing is still great!!!!

[@milenkapitanov8464]

@Тиранда Шелест Ветра What ?

[@user-fi8kt9dd9c]

Есть тут русские?

[@user-et8nx9gt9v]

Георгий Саркисов да

[@GamingInThe90s]

One of the best arrangements I've ever heard.

[@JeffHeidjuh]

Lore-wise, everything after WotLK was dogshit.

[@MrSonnyboy97]

I get chills EVERY time I listen to this song. Best Expansion, ever. Arthas, even though you fucked up, you will be missed

[@TheWeed1996]

love this song..... ohhh god give me a time machine for the old days

[@SpaceMonkey1900]

Luv this song, it has some special power to it. Like a tale of sorrow,anger and a new age.

[@TheNatureFreak1]

Amazing soundtrack, shows really much how Arthas was turned from good to evil, and how sadly everything went: the culling of stratholme, the destruction of Lordaeron, Dalaran, Quel'thalas and the Sunwell, and the death of Uther the Lightbringer, Muradin Bronzebeard, Antonidas Sunstrider and Terenas Menethil II.

[@camrian5410]

Man, I need to find a 10 hour loop for this. Perfect music for questing in Northrend...

[@TheJboy88]

Arthas is a perfect example of how to do a fantasy villain right. He's a character that you can sympathise with. Every action he took was for the sake of his people, even when he chose to become the Lich King. But there's also that tragic element to his character, which is embodied perfectly in this music. He is now the king of a dead land and a dead people. All that sacrifice for nothing. I say there have been few fantasy antagonists that have matched to that example.

[@Z3rath]

Listening to this on a pair of headsets outside at minus six degrees in the howling winter winds kinda makes you want to grab a butterknife and shout "Frostmourne hungers!"

[@MrBVS74]

this was the height of wow imo. i wish i could just go back to the time when wotlk first came out.

[@BaliNikiBali]

WoW reminds me of LotR ... both favs :) Thank you very much for uploading it!

[@zantos45]

i can't stop listening to it, let alone watching the trailer

[@regret458]

This song contains all of my most treasured WoW memories.

[@denizgungor1970]

Arthas: FATHER! Is it over? King Terenas: No expansion rules forever, my son. Arthas: I see only trolls before me...

[@ZeusKnocksYouOut]

There's a longing sadness those vocals emit that make me think "what if something never happened? What could have been? And look at what has happened instead..."

[@knightslade2007]

there is so much power in this song. wow movie must be made.

[@mamatjunit]

one of the best game sountracks i ever heard

[@deny6060]

My favorite track!

[@Stopons]

The most beautiful song...

[@artrave9564]

The best expansion ever to be made

[@DouglasEntertainment]

Goosebumps..

[@Gahiweli]

Rest in peace, Boy with the seagreen eyes, hero of the past, enemy by now, legend of the future.

[@heyu128]

Love the music in the Game Especially this one Favorite one

[@RedField2012]

From 0.40-1.15 - the best part of the music!!! Like)))

[@ExemplarKyle]

"My child... I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon." This music is so awesome.

[@drizzt777]

10 million and growing all the time. I just got back into the game a few months back myself.

[@mofos4]

This is beautiful, a true masterpeice.

[@TheGhostfacekilla86]

The overall music in WoW is just amazing. They did a great job with that.

[@MrZardini]

I didn't use to get chills, but now when I read your comment.....I'm freezing.

[@SmoFoGaming]

goosebumbs all over my body

[@CM26617]

Granted, I never plyed WoW myself (having only played Warcraft III and it's expansion), but hell, the music gets in your head. Kudos to Blizard's composers! Darn fine works.

[@Mickeraggarn]

God damn, I'm having so much chills that I can't sit still. Did I mention that I'm crying?

[@Gartzak]

i get the chills everytime i hear this

[@8MileMnM]

Arthas one of the most badass chars from Warcraft Lore,i still remember playn' Warcraft 3 Campiangs

[@theHAHA111]

gives me chills when i listen to this. Arthas...

[@demidemsar7348]

legendary music

[@MrPommezz]

This soundtrack makes me shiver

[@applepiehmm]

Is so sad that we will never truly re-live this times :.(

[@Botro1]

@Darksoul2946 Ditto, that voice is hauntingly beautiful. Blizzard surely hits the spot when vocals are involved, nearly all good music in WOW is either instrumental, with a touch of chorus, or sung like this one (sort of...)

[@SuperGamerCenter]

World of Warcraft (WoW) is an MMORPG that was released 8 years ago (In 2004). World of Warcraft is known to have the largest playerbase in all of MMO's on the market, as well as the largest budget. Many awards have been given to Blizard for making WoW. Regarding the Boss, this is Arthas, the final boss in the lore of the expansion "Wrath of the Lich King". This Raid was released with the update "Fall of the Lich King". In order to defeat Arthas, you need at least 24 players.

[@Seriksy]

We need more of this music back into the game

[@Queitaro]

@Kaiistheking That is exactly what brought me to this video, from someone else's video. I had to know what the musical piece was... Its just pure. Epic music is just so powerful!

[@karineSo]

I always get goosebumps when the kid starts singing
