The instrument you're wondering about is called a Nyckelharpa (Key harp) it's a Swedish folk instrument.
I don't know if you will read this comment, but I loved your gunbound BGM!!!
I don't blame you for your misgivings. WoW's been around so long and yeah, frankly, it's had a lot done to it and the company. But… WotLK was one of the best, and this particular piece is my favorite piece from all of WoW. The zone it's from is a rustic mountain setting kinda like the PNW or the Rockies, that does back onto the ocean (so really, more the PNW). I have a great love for the mountains, so this zone was heaven for me.
I'd say you should listen to "Canticle of Sacrifice" but I'm not sure if you want to listen to something sung in a made up elven language (the bagpipes in it are fantastic though)
The full body chills I get when those violins really come in. My god
i hope a few more Warcraft requests come through, there's more pearls like this music
Even if WoW isn't as good as it used to be, one thing stays constant – it has amazing music in every expansion.
Thus is the majestic beauty that is Grizzly Hills
If you talk to any old warcraft player they will criticise the game in a million different ways. They will never criticise the music, world building or immersion. The warcraft art team are a master class in gaming.
Songs like "Arthas, my son" "Nightsong" are something else. But its really hard to pick out certain songs because all are good
Truthfully, yes, a lot of WoW's music is ambient. I like it though.
What's really tragic though, is that WoW's music often gets downplayed because… well, the developers themselves don't really respect it? Certainly not in the way FF14 respects its own music with recurring motifs doing callbacks to story moments, etc. So for a lot of players the music is… forgettable?
Every new expansion they pay for X amount of music and then just slot it in. They rarely carry over past motifs or try to utilize tracks in ways that pay homage to older zones/themes/stories. It's part of a bigger issue WoW has with hating its own past (my theory is that it's because of the turnover of developers, the new ones don't want to pay homage to things they didn't work on… I don't know why it's a thing, just that you can feel its effects in how the story, music, and lore are handled).
Like in WoD, they introduced some incredibly epic Draenei themed tracks, but then in Legion (the next expansion) they did Draenei story moments… and just plugged in the same generic themes they'd used throughout the rest of the expansion.
The more you know WoW, the more disappointing it is like that.
At about 1:20 you can see that Ratttatoullie moment of being teleported to a moment in time, whether or not youve actually been there. I love videos like this because it shows that the memories made with these songs in the background were as magical as I remember them.
This never gets old, it just brings back so many memories like I wish I could experience fresh again, it just hits you, it was WoW in its peak
The place this track plays in is Grizzly Hills, a beloved zone by the community that represents the boreal forest, with its peaceful winds and pine scent, and powerful large pine trees and giant grizzly bears. My top 3 favorite zones in the game! (There are entire 5 planets in game so top 3 is an honor)
For more peaceful World of Warcraft sound tracks I suggest Elwynn forest and Westfall music, not as legendary as this song you listened to but still iconic.
My brother and cousin listening to this when my mom died
Grizzly Hills is far more important than most ppl realise it is where one of the world trees was planted.
It's funny you had these images in your head. That's exactly the journey the players would experience when entering that area where this music is played. You arrive with a ship at the steep coastal line of this northern continent. Then, settle in with the locals, gathering materials, before venturing into the mountains where the forests slowly progress into tundra and the glaciers. So yeah, there is a lot of water…
Iron dwarf, storm peaks and the taunka music is amazing from this expansion
🥰🥰🥰
Their music is amazing i actually play nighyekf music to sleep. Esp Azshara theme.
2:25 – 3:00 Cinematic scoring at it's finest
The barrens music, night song, a call to arms, the shaping of the world, and invincible all all great Warcraft tracks you should try.
arthas my son?
that 2:38 – always the point where my eyes get wet lol
For me, the soundtrack of Wrath of the Litch King was the best of the WOW universe until the Battle For Azeroth expansion.
I had forgotten just how beautiful the music from Grizzly Hills is! The music from this game was always its strongest point. I'm remembering the one from Storm Peaks, when the chorus starts singing. Chills!
This was probably the best compliment a musician could get. Especially when it's strictly about music. You described the imagery of Grizzly Hills perfectly without even seeing it ✨️
warcraft and diablo have the best music of all time
The Statement "i have so much imagery in my head" left me with a sense of happiness.
Because this is exactly what i was thinking when i first came in this area while playing
Loving your gunbound BGM.
