Zul'Drak General Music

[@MrBadApple999]

This zone was the embodiment of desperation. Imagine a people killing its own gods to survive an invasion that they've been slowly losing for decades.

[@Anudorini-Talah]

The music is reflecting hopelessness for me. A destined downfall. The Loa combined with the Trolls wont be able to fend of the Scourge and if the Trolls make Loa Smoothie, it basically will only last a little bit longer but will fall as well

[@skirdus367]

God, I remember the Drak'tharon entrance to this zone just being full of ice trolls screaming in terror and running for their lives from the horrors up ahead. Truly, this zone was the definition of hopelessness

[@carlhausman8157]

Facts. It was so dark. Also, I love your profile image.

[@Axgoodofdunemaul]

This part of the game, including the music, was a masterpiece of art. I can't understand why the rest of the world doesn't take computer games seriously.

[@egekazakmusic]

+KevFil lol, you seem to know much about art huh, calling other people retards.

[@Quantumdjent]

This guy

[@Arxareon]

+KevFil Wow..

[@LongClawzHidden]

Just reminding you how much of a failure you are, Kev :)

[@krel3358]

because you have fond memories and experiences attached to the game, when you hear the music which is good in its own right it triggers that feeling of nostalgia which is perhaps the most powerful sense of joy. See after years Im not sure wow is worth playing anymore because its basically just interactive math, theres no real skill to it once the game is figured out and then it just becomes a chore to go through. While i have very fond memories of wow i dont think i can ever go back.

[@t0lar]

I really like the desolate and empty feeling from this piece of music, the bit with the bell at the beginning is like echoes, fits the zone perfectly

[@fealmor]

this place was done so well. the skies the place and everything... gotta hand blizz some credit for that..

[@geek593]

This was another track that fit its zone perfectly. The questing experience may not have been the greatest, but the atmosphere was unmatched.

[@omerd5147]

*That* exactly is the main problem with WOW: the actual gameplay doesn't measure up to the level of its design and music. In other words, the castle looks lovely from the outside, but there's nearly nothing to do inside it.

[@BaconMaken]

They brought this song back in BfA in some places in Vol'Dun. I guess this is the official undead Troll theme of WoW.

[@Goremonger2]

Bacon Maken I was so excited when this started playing at the dock in Vol'Dun. Fits great with the killer questline there.

[@sixers2329]

zuldrak is the most immersive zone in wow, this music just gives you the feel your in a land ravaged by chaos that is completely falling to shreds icecrown is cool, zuldrak is plain creepy

[@ksebail]

The music fits so perfectly within the zone's atmosphere and theme. ---Thrym *The Hope Ender*---

[@DrBoo1982]

Northern Stranglethorn, Northern Barrens and Zul'Drak are my favorite zones in WoW. The music, the setting and the atmosphere... excellent!

[@DranweRagetotem]

i just can't get enough of this song

[@LoneWanderer727]

Zul Drak is one of those zones that really hit me emotionally. You see the effects of the Scourge unfolding in real time. An ancient and powerful civilization, the layers of a deep fortress being penetrated as the trolls are overwhelmed. Their fellow Drakkari turning into horrifying monsters. All while foreign enemies stab them in the back. It's the definition of an apocalypse. Their Gods have failed them. No prayers, rituals or traditions can save them. All of their might has failed. One of the oldest civilizations in Azeroth being ripped apart before your eyes. And you see their desperation - sacrificing their loas, stealing that power to get any edge they can. Fighting with ferocity to take down a necropolis, send forth their best warriors....but all for not...

[@wildhanachi]

There's something strangely relaxing about this music...

[@RyvernRaigon]

LOL this place is my favorite zone of Northrend because of the music, it fits perfectly with everything in that place.

[@koalabunga]

@fealmor I love Zul Drak too :) mainly the irony behind its story. Trolls sacrificed their gods to become powerful enough to defend themselves becoming equally disgusting and dangerous like the Scourge they were trying to fend off. In result they destroyed their own culture, desecrated their land and grown power hungry just like the Lich King who, having nothing else to do, just kept increasing his power and extending his reign over an empty kingdom and literally empty people...

[@griffknox]

Absolutely loved riding into this zone for the first time..Can't quite put my finger on it...there's something almost surreal about the atmosphere that I wish I could explain

[@Nagoragama]

I agree; I always thought the atmosphere and the music gave the whole area an apocalyptic vibe like the whole world is about to end. Just look at the sky.

[@Oromis0011]

3:09 is the best by far. Such amazing drum work

[@glizda9193]

The part when the drums kick in... feels so awesome.

[@kyb464]

I quit over a year ago, and i loved this place so much! i did every quest, they were so interesting :')

[@Davesothoth]

Both the zone and it's music are vastly underrated.

[@weedle5221]

my favorite track in all of wow

[@zigzag789789]

Duskwood is my all time favorite place to quest and the music/atmosphere. Hence why I love Zul ' Drak so much, they are kind of related. Elwynn has awesome music aswell, always reminds me of discovering wow for the first time, and just exploring and doing really noob things.

[@atomheart7907]

this music makes me want to go to Guatemala and explore an Aztec pyramid at midnight.

[@Kaarlo]

This song makes me really sad for trolls. Once rulers of the world, now fighting desperate losing battle between two too great powers... :(

[@Chrysaetos11]

This zone has the 'evil' factor.. the music, atmosphere, an old race fighting desperate against the scourge, some getting converted along the way..

[@Mnaxz]

For me, that's the best music of wow. It brings me somewhere else

[@Skandalos]

Fits extremely well to the zone. A bit too depressing maybe.

[@theacut]

It's even creepier when you remember that these trolls sacrificed their own gods to gain their powers. If you go to some of the altars you can see the dead gods like the snake one.

[@Herttaseiska]

just gotta love the bells in the background!

[@PBnJamey]

Zul'Drak was what it took to finally make trolls interesting.

[@migcosta17]

Coolest zone music...Without any doubt. It fits Zul'Drak perfectly.

[@aminemalek4213]

3:12 🔥

[@DarkRaven4649]

@epic spaceman You won't find any Aztec pyramids in Guatemala, though. The Aztecs lived in modern-day Mexico. Guatemala and surrounding lands were Maya-dominated. While the pyramids built by both civilizations are architecturally similar, the cultures themselves are not.

[@Axgoodofdunemaul]

It's nice to read a comment on KZbin that's informative and correct. Thanks. If the person had said "Meso-American" instead of "Aztec," there would be no objection.

[@MrBadApple999]

exactly. from north to south Aztec-Maya-Inca(Peru) , on a side note I kinda feel a little inspiration from the Cambodian ruins as well

[@lvsoad22]

DarkRaven4649 the cultures were definitely similar it is not really up for debate that the Aztecs took a lot from the Mayans or at the very least they both were separate parts of a culture that had existed there before either of them. But yes, they were separate cultures from different time periods.

[@Nypenguin1]

This is stuck in my head

[@Neakal]

I love those drums that come midway through.

[@ksebail]

The most original music in wow.

[@anamoebacorn]

Awesome selection to listen to on Halloween ;)

[@dewmayne]

i miss this game so much

[@fireofCaraxes]

very beautiful majesty music ....

[@koalabunga]

@fealmor Aztecs capital city Tenochtitlan was situated right under Mexico City so Mexican culture is in fact the Aztec culture. As to the question, which culture Zul Drak is, I would say it is closer to the Maya but thats only because I have only attended to the Maya religion course yet. As far as I know, every pyramid tried to resemble a nearby sacred mountain and every pyramid was built like a mountain with an inner structure inside which served as a cave. I study religions btw :)

[@yvaineanwell9968]

Good thing I love the music in the zone, considering all the time I spent here waiting to tame Gondria.

[@marioman890]

the drakkari is soo cool :D i love zul'drak along with all the "zul" places :) i hope they make a drakkari raid!!!

[@Stephan419]

My favorite quest area. I love zuldrak it really feels like this area is in the total grip of the Lich King and his Undead Troll Allies.

[@AidanMclaren]

This music, plus area, plus terrifying looking undead trolls equals very scary place!

[@MtnDru]

Zul'drak. Forging legendary Death Knights since WOTLK

[@thirion1850]

Sends chills down my spine. God hunters indeed...

[@cronos755]

Magnifique. On peut aussi retrouver cette musique dans le port de pirate maudit à Voldun.

[@Collected23]

I see now...Scourge was not our greatest enemy.'

[@software2744]

:0

[@supahfly1972]

Das right, mon! You be listenenin to what he be sayin!

[@Muirselgas]

Zuldrak quests were awesome but the place was too depressing for me

[@opsia]

remember doing quest here for Loremaster :D one of the most remembered zones ever, memories... heh ... Lets Spoon from Burning Blade, are you here? :)

[@Expl0rati0n]

@SaberScorpion I'm definitely the same saber. Loved BC music, and Zul'drak is the only one from WotLK that I actually liked.

[@WowFanatic1100]

Zul'Drak music defeats the purpose of staying in grizzly hills. As soon as someone knows this music it is, bye hills, Hellooooooo Zul Drak!

[@Elyyees]

I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!

[@WorldofBlub]

Yeah,it was epic when I read this being the title of that Scourge giant.It gave me the feeling like "There is no hope...the Scourge will overrun all of Azeroth and the Lich King will make everybody his slave."

[@LongClawzHidden]

Easily one of the most hostile zones EVER in World of Warcraft. You were never safe.

[@kulpapigarcia1685]

Mi área favorita a la par de Stormpeaks, la música de ambas y el questing fueron magníficos, perfectos y muy disfrutables. Ahora escuchar su soundtrack me trae bastante nostalgia :')

[@Icedone100]

epic drum action.

[@rammsteinfreak4]

I hate questing in Zul'drak for some reason...I love the zone, but the quests just make me feel like I'm not playing a game...I'm working.

[@HL-iw1du]

3:12 that scared the shit out of me

[@SaberScorpion]

@tuvull Although I prefer the Burning Crusade music to Lich King in general, I agree that the Zul'Drak music rocks. Sometimes I fly through just to hear the music.

[@CJDownz]

Yeah, this song gives me the creeps every time I'm in Zul'Drak... that and Thrym the Hope Ender... So freaky.

[@LimitlessVictor]

Zul'Drak,home of Drakkari tribe

[@oakhardoiled7554]

This is on top!

[@ntabiblaze]

this zone and Grizzly Hills have the BEST zone music in WOTLK 3rd place in wow being "welcome to orgrimmar" songs from Cata >.>

[@prepaidgame]

Trolls are the coolest race in WoW!

[@tonby]

So we had jungle trolls, forest trolls, dying ice trolls. What trolls will we kill in Cataclysm? No, leave Rastakhan alone.

[@sobamadeee]

Had to come and listen to this again to make sure, Rob Zombie - Perversion 99 sounds just like it

[@AidanMclaren]

@Pyrofreak321 The quests are terrible, I admit, but the music and atmosphere is one of the best in the game.

[@tomascepek3615]

Sounds like deadlands, awesome music.

[@awern]

The mermories I have is undead and trolls. I miss it.

[@SeaOfTreachery6]

boreans music is pretty eerie too

[@PrinceDeNeufchatel]

@Chrysaetos11 Strongly Agreed. Sometimes I felt better having a wolf or bear with my dwarf hunter to quest with in this zone. And I remember "plenty" PvP battles here as well which made me more alert. I think both factions really got a kick questing and confronting opposed factions in this cool atmosphere while listening to a good track=]

[@Anudorini-Talah]

Pls make a 1 hour Zul Drak

[@Tekaneable]

If gods can die... then so can we.

[@Thyron1992]

Epic start at 3:25

[@Felfury]

Actually SithPuppy, the scourge are NOT in control here...the farthest they got in Zul'Drak is that crashed necropolis.

[@morbidicus]

oms this is the best after grizzly hills and howling fjord

[@SuperMrSunshine]

Anyone know the name of the flute-ish sort of instrment that starts up at 1:47?

[@doxi101]

as soon i walked in here i thought what i would get as enemy was: mutated voodoo doctors summonning mojo drenched ghouls from the ground. what did i get? :naked trolls with their tongue hanging out of their mouths walking around like they had a beer too much.

[@yunyunnofriends]

3:12 sounds like a ritual

[@khatack]

@Pyrofreak321 Actually this is one of the better zones; right after Howling Fjord and Grizzly Hills.

[@fellowhuman8682]

3:12 The best.

[@smasherwespp]

reminds me when i wanted to kill the big giant walking there .. lol me and my dreadfull level 78 Death Knight

[@Fantasyperson]

@badintentions2 Proudmoore is a good choice for aussies, granted you play alliance. Population may be a little high though.

[@Omarock]

This zone reminds me of North Korea map in Mercenaries 1 ps2

[@shaokan777]

@Muirselgas extremely depressing indeed.

[@fealmor]

@koalabunga awsom, thanks :) i love this ^^

[@angryangel100]

@Theownera oh yes and it is my fav place in norterend ,,just because of beautyful Gondria ;))) my lucky huntress finally got him and this place is magical

[@fealmor]

whos american here? can some1 tell me if this is mayan or aztec or mexican culture?

[@omophagia]

How to explain this: I hated it and enjoyed it at same time. I loved the music. I liked following the dk lore. I enjoyed doing the starting quests in that zone until I started doing the dailies later on. I hated it. I didn't enjoy doing the quests in the snow side of ZD either. I did quite a bit of herb farming for my inscription in that zone though.

[@kelthanius]

@badintentions2 Why can't you play WoW in Europe? O.o

[@DranweRagetotem]

@fealmor i think it looks like mayan and aztec some sort of together, after my opinion... but i got no clue on dead cultures and dead language and sutch all i know is that in some part of mexico a litle town or something speaks mayan... dunno if it's true tho, but aztec got no bloody clue... sorry m8. but i know one thing, mayan and aztec crumbled , dunno if it's the right word for it, but crumbled together is pretty awesome, fits the music and sutch :->

[@neosteve51]

Most Likely.... There a Bigg ass FOrtress with no way to get in... Might turn into a raid

[@DomainUnavailable]

@SuperMrSunshine sounds like it might be an oboe.

[@DarkXsun100]

if all troll factions are united they wood rule they wood rule Azaroth

[@narrat0r12]

Threatening...

[@jeverbever]

Creeeeepy! But awesome.

[@CaCSouthPark]

Thats it ! me be makin Troll shaman !
