Zangarmarsh Music

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

[@grahamvandyke]

For some reason this zone gives me the most nostalgia out of any other. Every time I hear it I can recall really specific memories of questing there and what was happening in my life at that time. Chills me every time.

[@RogueAdamantiumQueen]

Me too. I have very specific memories tied to each zone. I can hear the music from a zone and immediately identify when I quested there first and what was going on outside of Azaroth. : )

[@yosephrezahe2534]

The exact same thing happens to me, except with Nagrand and Hillsbrad Foothills.

[@ShAdOw116789]

for me its top 10 of my fav songs in wow. such a great feeling you get that's just indescribable.

[@BronzNazareth]

same here! I can remember certain areas and quests I had to do that I otherwise would never have though about

[@smokeydasharky]

I was in College getting bad grades ;) had my GF of 4 years, I was 26 yrs old, me too NOSTALGIA

[@jessicaweller6452]

One of my favorite places in the game

[@Viimane]

I sense this came back in the Diablo II Oasis :) Or is it bc of the scenery and imagery?

[@Rodsupremos]

Iv lived in NY,NY, New Jersey, Maine, NC, and Washington state. Iv worked on farms, boats, in shops. Iv hiked and sailed all over and around America, but I must say: Being a total jobless drop out WoW addict for 1.5 years was the one of the most interesting and mind altering places I've ever been. It was like taking a 1.5 year vacation on some higher plane of existence.

[@TanzzTehPro]

I feel ya...

[@Rodsupremos]

Tanzz XRP The experience of dropping out hard on WoW is so unique. It's akin to dealing with severe PTSD, being an entrepreneur, being involved in a military conflict, or taking hallucinogens. There are few who know, and there are many who have no idea... until they "take the plunge". YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!!!

[@TanzzTehPro]

During Burning Crusade.. Most Nostalgia iv ever felt in my life during that period of WoW.. And vanilla also.. I miss it. BUT, when i played WoD beta at Blizzcon 2013, i felt a lil bit of Vanilla/BC vibes comin back. Not alot, but just a lil.

[@Rodsupremos]

Back to the roots of the lore.

[@TanzzTehPro]

Seem'd like it. :D

[@DolchiO07]

This zone is the reason I couldn't wait to get to Outlands. Those giant glowing mushrooms and fireflies were so exotic looking , I couldn't wait to explore it all.

[@Evloria]

Listening in 2023 ❤ WoW used to be such a huge part of my life: a much more innocent and energetic time. The beauty of WoW's music is unlike any other game. Doesn't matter how much time has passed, I'm immediately teleported to the time I first set foot in the colorful blue landscape of Zangermarsh and recall the same feeling of awe and wonder. It's the same for each zone in vanilla and the early expansions. Nothing can compare. I miss it.

[@lankieSL]

This brings tears in my eyes realizing it is already 8 years ago when I started playing World of Warcraft. This game has become a part of my youth and I enjoyed every moment of it. I've stopped playing at the end of Wrath of the Lich King which is also a long time ago (mid 2010). But still I come back every now and then to listen to the this epic music and it gives me the chills and want to go back to those moment where I played with my Nephew and friends and had no worries being a 16-20 year old kid. Just felt like needing a place to express my feelings. WoW in my heart

[@BronzNazareth]

Yeah, this, EQ, and D2 are forever ingrained in my late teens and early twenties. I realized you don't have to look at them days like they are so distant. Everything that has been... *always* will be

[@bobbykotick1163]

They may be re-releasing vanilla wow sometime in the future and possibly tbc too :)

[@KFLorenz]

I believe it's the Indian flute (combined with everything else, really,) that gives it such an amazing otherworldly touch. A complete masterpiece as is the entire soundtrack of the whole game. This track in particular just makes you want to dive right into the luminescent waters of these marshes and swim with the Naga..

[@psy0m934]

Best Zone in Classic/tbc/wotlk Good old Times...never be forgotten

[@Kafka-b7u]

Indian flute, indian mrudungam, indian sitar

[@Willybitecha]

When I hear this Zangarmarsh music it brings back that strong sense of wonderment I had when I first arrived there from Hellfire Penninsula ... like being completely lost then waking up in a strangely familiar and beautiful surrounding. Blows me away every time.

[@Eschatonin6666]

I loved BC, and Zangarmarsh & Nagrand were my favorite zones I have ever leveled in. If only it were possible to forget it all, go back in time, and do it again...

[@СергейКонтратьев-э7щ]

Best zone in Outland, no discuss.

[@blind4342]

Сергей Контратьев Nagrand?

[@DV-zv4ox]

@@blind4342 Nagrand second best. Zangarmarsh No. 1

[@Pius1]

One thing I've never noticed before is how psychedelic it sounds.

[@XNarutoXbleach]

+Ste Roberts well there is mushrooms everywhere, sounds beautiful though

[@spaciousbeak]

The spores are hypnotizing your brain

[@dustinjones7458]

Always my favorite place to relax and fish in game. :)

[@maniac4699]

Nagrand is also very good too, to be honest.

[@DV-zv4ox]

I remember going through some pretty hard personal struggles when BC launched. This expansion, and Zangarmarsh in particular was the perfect distraction from the chaos around me. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for WoW.

[@lordpeimei]

wow saved my life from hard drugs

[@GreenXintent]

sleeping to this gives u some messed up dreams FYI.

😊👼🎶🛏💤

[@jehkmeh]

I wanna try it, lol

[@Usewuiiiiw7727]

Imagine smoking 😅

[@bononoz2948]

4:02 favorite soundtrack of the zone.

[@Dispersionify]

I love zangarmarsh, i have this habit to level all my alts through it...

[@Chrysaetos11]

One of my all time favourite zones in WoW and video games. The place is so magical, like a dream.

[@Rennikus]

Played through the tail end of vanilla, BC was my high point in WoW. Been through this accursed mushroom infested swamp on far too many characters.

[@rafabartnikowski1993]

When i first came to this zone, after completing HF Peninsula i dropped my jaw

[@Negr0C0ck13]

I think i'll get myself a wow sub again just to fly here and enjoy the music

4:40

[@lollolzi2996]

my fave

[@Viimane]

Nem rossz :)

[@deathknightultra]

My fav

[@MarkTheMadMan]

My fav zone in the whole of Wow. i sometimes switch the music off and sit on top of a mushroom listening to the ambience, wierd animals making noises off in the distance. ahhhh takes me back to the BC days :)

[@Royberg]

when i think of zangarmarsh i'm always reminded of my late night playing sessions of leveling in this zone. shortly after BC launched, i finally had to crash and get some sleep and i remember waking up at about 7 pm to continue my push to 70. id become a nocturnal wreck before classes started again

[@Solarnova]

It was always curious that Blizzard opted for the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj soundtrack as a template for Zangarmarsh, the only relation between the two I could find was Blacksting, a large wasp in Zangarmarsh that somewhat resembled the profile of the Silithid's of Silithus, exactly where Temple of Ahn'Qiraj resides and the Cenarion Circle that was also responsible for the Southern Gates of Ahn'Qiraj circa 2006.

[@lastplacewin]

sigh every time i try to quit wow i come on youtube and listen to zone music like this, then end up getting game time the next day :( i will play wow forever

[@ShAdOw116789]

so great. the feeling is amazing if you didnt play BC you did miss out. same with vanilla, but i did miss out of vanilla sadly :( only played very late vanilla

[@Thalasius]

omg is this non-vanilla wannabe. U don't get to hang wiv us vanilla boyz until u have proved your worth. weeabo.

[@IMayOrMayHaveNot]

It's beautiful how this song is riddled with hindu-inspired instruments and rhythm, just how the Draenei are inspired by such culture~ You can see their main cities have merchants with turbans upon their heads, some buildings have small rooms with tapestry, pillows scattered around the floor and Hookahs. Oh, and how to forget both genres /dance~?

[@carmagadon11]

dat atmosphere..if only i could quest here forever... thank god shrooms are in general less of a fuck-up than trees in graphical sense. pure zen

[@Nicole-mg5nd]

TBC has the best music but northrend is amazing as well

[@kingvahagn2011]

It seems like the WoW music is one of the things that has been consistently high quality across all the expansions.

[@bloodfanged]

Hints of Lut'Gholein and The Harem - Matt Uelmen instantly spotted.

Thousands of hours...in the game brings back the harem feeling when you've finished the first stage of the desert heading toward to horizons journal.

[@bounceeer]

that "flute" in these songs is armenian instrument called Duduk, beautiful sound..

[@ashiok]

Greatest area in the history of video games

[@Brady2k10]

love BC and outland zones but my all time fav wow music is azuremyst isle, so peaceful

[@sprucemoose18]

5:42 to 6:04 is my personal favourite bit :) wish it was longer.

[@SimosTsitoglou]

I agree with you my friend. The music's name is called "Origins" and it was affected by the Ahn'Quraj music score (just some months before TBC release). Silithus Valey is a desert and Blizard adds culture characteristics to the music scores (for exapmle, remember the Scandiavian violin music in Grizzly Hills). I always love WoW music. :)

[@-Rook-]

great atmospheric pieces of music.

[@epicSockett]

This was the area I adored the most, second to Nagrand. The abandoned Draenei villages... The WotW-tripods... Nostalgia~

[@mr.recognize4653]

oh the memories.....wow really was my medicine back in the days.

[@antico1986]

one of my favorite places in all of wow , love this tribal music and the trippy-LSD admosphere of the place

[@keepgoing7533]

Bounty hunter from space with that fresh green quality bow from Hellfire!

[@premiedusten]

Zangarmarsh must be a simply FANTASTIC place to live! I wish it was real :(

[@vethir]

i have to remind myself that i did outland *years* ago. nothing compares to exploring zones for the first time...

[@zdalmhr]

Played throughout TBC and quit soon after WotLK came. I do miss WoW very much. And this music... Maybe one day again :)

[@copymizer]

i aboslutely love the drums in this track

[@Fishcakes_20]

Most of my questing in the Outlands was here other than Hellfire. Very nostalgic.

[@iGotThemNiceBeatz]

The Burning Crusade... Simply the best!

[@dk410]

since i saw avatar, i think of it as zangarmarsh. has alot of similar characteristics. love zangar. fav place in outlands

[@delangendeem]

still my most favorite place to lvl , the music had a big influence for me . love it !

[@Sugho2023]

TBC! This kind of musics, zones, expriences. I hope Blizzad wakes up and gives us a awesome and fresh new world with Titan.

[@takuoluna]

04:00~05:35, love it.

[@Zenithx3]

If only fungi had evolved to be this large and chemoluminescent - how beautiful that would be....

[@PrinceDeNeufchatel]

[2006-2010] Constant WoW gameplay until a voice in my head told me not to resubscribe. So I listened; found myself in other worlds throughout the year, until next week. Then i'll have my main & Acturis crawl out of a cave to see "wth has happened to Azeroth". (lol) I enjoyed questing here and at times between heroics i still made my way out to visit Outlands like the Marsh.

[@lastplacewin]

Oh god why do i do this to myself. I've quit WoW three times and this has been my longest so far... haven't even leveled to 85 but as soon as I hear BC music something stirs inside me. I feel the need to log on and just chill in Zangarmarsh or Nagrand. Gotta love nostalgia :(

[@nated5606]

The music sounds similar to the AQ music.

[@N1Gaming]

It's pretty much the same track used in AQ20, maybe altered slightly

[@Funktionize]

+Niall McBride The reason they are the same (they are) is because both use a sample library called Ra. So yes, they are the same. And many other productions use the same melody, because of it being a sample.

[@youk100]

Personally, my favorite zone is Sholazer Basin. Its looks amazing and has great music. (:

[@mykkenny2]

Best zone ever. I quit WoW almost a year ago, and I still listen to this. Might make a trial account and get some friends to summon me to Zangarmarsh on top of a mushroom, so that I can just sit and listen and absorb the ambience. One thing I noticed before I left, the weird calls and whistles have gone from the zone. I actually miss those, dunno why Blizzard removed them.

[@BafflingBlake]

The music from Zangarmash is actually music played during Ahn'qiraj events in vanilla.

[@AtilaCXL]

As best I can tell, these are the timestamps for the distinct tracks 0:00 - 1:17 1:18 - 3:07 3:08 - 4:00 4:01 - 5:39 5:40 - 6:42 6:43 - 8:12

[@nahualsolitario]

It's like Indian music.

[@Fusions-xl3sh]

Yup it is.

[@emarine]

Tbh I hated this zone at first, but after awhile I grew to love it. Learning more and more about The Draenei/Kurenai lore. My ONLY regret is that I started playing WoW in late '06 and not release in '04. =x BC has some of the best quest and music score around.

[@DonYawnful]

My all time favorite world of warcraft area, none come close to the mystification that Zangarmarsh brough to me. Whenever I played I would just idle there if I had to wait for raids and whatnot. Fond memories!

[@Stagesylvania]

So many herbs. You could kill stuff and "skin" them for herbs.

[@pisse3000]

This zone is just stunning! The moment i came here the first time i just stopped and said" Wow!..." This is a very underestimated zome! :D

[@Zenithx3]

Enormous bioluminescent fungi = win! Love this zone and music....if only evolution allowed fungi to grow this large....

[@BedtimeStory87]

yea heres the same.. sadly all say they dont listen to it.. but they really miss sth.. masterpiecelike...

[@djfeas001]

Zangarmarsh is probably my most favorite zone of WoW. Thumbs up and salute to the Psychedelic Mushrooms of WoW :P

[@jeffc7495]

LOL good point. Most game, movies and books etc...are always best in the first few and after slowly become watered down. I'm glad I was able to play during the height of Vanilla and fully immersed in BC and WoTLK

[@bramownsyou]

been a huge fan of the entire warcraft lore, loved both vanilla and TBC in WoW. Craving for the day they will make an epic sequal in wc4 to this amazing world..... if they''ll ever begin working on it.

[@Icon300]

This zone definitely pulls off a jungle atmosphere, especially between 4:03 and 5:10, just with overgrown mushrooms instead of trees. I'd compare it to STV, without all the mess that is STV.

[@YoshimitsuTekken6]

This was the area I hated most in Outland, even though the quests were alright, but this place made me crazy!

[@Solvanderlyn]

It was during Burning Crusade that I first made it to the high level content. The design of the new starting zones and capital cities was amazing, and it was kind of disappointing to venture out of the Ghostlands as my Paladin and go back to what seemed like the inferior old world. That grind from 20-58 helped build up the anticipation for Outland, though, and boy... Outland just completely blew me away.

[@QuaidShun]

I never noticed that zangar had bits from silithus music in it! awesome

[@KadaSaa]

Remind me Ferngully. Love it.

[@jasmineseto7699]

I remember just sitting on top of a mushroom just relaxing and listening to this music. then i realized half an hour had already passed ^_^

[@Terra-Hawk]

Used to love this zone, the music 4:01 - 5:39 always reminded me of music from the film Bladerunner

[@zosorh]

Heroes used samples from the beginning of this clip, chich are also in Silithus for their first 2 seasons.

[@Deunel]

i love zangarmash !!! this is the best of bc

[@Dorkus89Malorkus]

Everyone I knew in game hated Zangarmarsh. For some reason I love it. Hellfire Peninsula was so epic the first time you stepped through the Dark Portal. Us old Vanilla players were amazed. Right when you were getting tired or fighting Fel Orcs and being ganked by the Fel Reaver you were sent to the tranquil Zang. I never liked Terokkar but then you got to Nagrand and never wanted to leave again.

[@martindemik]

I can imagine the feel man. Hopefully you did experience the lvling as good as it was! That was half the enjoyment for me back in vanilla and BC. The exploration, the encouragement when you were able to kill a lvl 60 mob as a lvl 55. The leveling today is too much prepared. Back in Vanilla/BC you really had to wander around and find your way through. Now you just blindly follow where the one quest leads you to the other and suddenly you're there. Keep that memory! ;)

[@Kupuxd]

Got to love the Tabla and Sitar at 1:20.

[@The92Waffles]

I know you're comment is old and probably don't remember it. But, I felt the same way back then, all those long nights finally getting to bed at 6am. Back when I had all the time in the world to play lol. I still play today, but I don't have nearly the time I used to when I was younger, can't really pull all nighters anymore.

[@phtmexplo]

I went back just for the memories to this place ... and now i just noticed it looks like "pandora" from "avatar" ... the thing is, when i came here for first time > there was no avatar yet lol :)

[@Ariath77]

As a Diablo 1 and 2-player I hear Matt Uelmen in this piece. Sweet tune though. My first wow-experience began in Cataclysm.

[@vokarri]

@Milda47 I'm sorry, I haven't played WoW for quite a few months.. What exactly happened to it? Did they just.. get rid of it? ):

[@MaBB2394]

Is this partially the same music as AQ? I noticed the other day they sound similar.

[@OverFork0ver]

I remember when I got to this zone. I was like "Oh, thank GOD I am out of Hellfire. Wait, the fuck is this shit?" Then I played for about 2 hours and said "Fuck going to Nagrand, I'm never leaving"

[@kokoriko999]

As I look to the sky of Zangarmarsh heights.... The mysteries of lake demons and sweet water tides.... To find me craving for one last time... Taste the quest adventure against the Ango'rosh tribe...

yes i think,go in aq40,you can go in alone now without pass in raid mod and listen.but i like this sound so its not a critical,i just reconize the ambiant.i like chiling in aq40 and 20 to open chest or just listening the sound and watch bugs XD

[@Funktionize]

+kerabera Well, to be brutally honest. All of the defining sounds and melodies in both this and AQ music come from a sample library called Ra. They've been used in countless other productions too. :)

[@N1Gaming]

+kerabera It's more AQ20, however it is almost the same on the outside part of 40 until you go inside, then the real evil music starts

Doesn't change the fact that the music IS the same, because it uses the same samples :D
