This introduction song to D2:LOD reminds me of being in 7th and 8th grade during the summer. Sitting playing D2 upstairs and looking outside watching the sunset, knowing I was about to spend the next 6 hours playing my favorite game of all-time, with amazing friends I met online. One of the best feelings man.
Not only the game but the soundtracks what made this game unforgettable. Man, experiencing this game as a kid... and still nothing came close to that feeling.
Back when blizzard music was eerie, mesmerizing, and utterly memorable. Topnotch quality in fx/sound effects too. Nothing will ever come close to the first two games in this franchise.
56:11 Lyrics translation Harem: I bow to the one who has lotus in her hand, has a pleasant happy face, who gives good fortune and destiny, gives refuge (fearlessness) with her hand (posture), who is adorned with lots of gems and other ways, who gives the very much desired fruits to the devotees, is attended upon by viShNu, shiva, brahmA and others, behind whom are lotus, conch and other opulence and who is always with power.
Other commenters are right this version is extremely high quality thank you. Me: I don't want remakes. Also me: I just want it for the sound. That wilderness. Never is my necromancer more vulnerable then the first 30 seconds outside that town trying to slap something to death with a wand. Survival Mode.
damn, i played this game for hundreds of hours during school and after that i wrote my bachelor thesis to this soundtrack, then i wrote my master thesis to this soundtrack and now i am still playing that game every evening. Diablo 2 is more than just a game for me, that is a life changer.
haha i can totally relate. i m just writing my master thesis to this and so I did with my bachelor ;) its the right sound to keep excitement but also gives you chills
This game and this soundtrack will live in the memories of a generation. It's been over 20 years we can remember the days when nothing mattered, no worries, no deadlines, just the thrill of adventure into the depths of hell, searching for loot and jumping for excitement at the words.. "Diablo Walks the Earth"
A very nice upload. Thank you. Sometimes i wonder what my neighbours think when i play video game soundtracks like this. Anyway, ty for the upload, upvoted.
Act 1 town, act 2 town, act 3 town, act 4 town. These songs play sometimes in my dreams, lol I've listened to this soundtrack maybe a thousand times over the years... 😊
This intro song carries me on a timeless journey, like a TP that swiftly transports me back to an era where I stood before a majestic hunk of beige machinery, humming with the essence of Windows 98. Oh, how vividly it feels, as if yesterday's echoes resound, the symphony of my inventory items gracefully falling with each click after clicking a link. They're echoes filling my ears, only to witness another player swiftly collecting them all. Good times.
I can’t forget this track until I live. This will always make me feel nostalgic and think to my mother, father, brother and great childhood. I was playing with Diablo 2 exactly 19 years ago today, when my father was told me that my grandfather had passed away.
Just played through this game for the first time a few weeks ago, from the amazing remaster, and can safely say it holds up! No nostalgia glasses just straight up amazing gameplay, atmosphere, and of course the badass music. Blizzard will never be like this again it's a shame ❤
Back when my Dad and I would play together. He would choose the fighter, I would pick the sorceress. Years after the Resurrection remake, I'd take my crack at the Assassin. Still listen to this and the Warcraft 2 soundtrack. 😌
What i like the most about Blizzard is that every game has an amazing story behind it. The main story of Diablo is so amazing that a movie should be shot about it. Uelman's composed music is also the backbone of the game. As if Matt Uelman practically went into the game and lived it...
I knew Diablo 2 soundtrack was amazing, however I don't know why but tonight while listening to it again through this video (maybe musics in this video are in higher quality ?), I feel very overwhelmed by the beauty of all the musics ! Thanks for sharing
This game was insanely popular back in the early 2000s all my older brother friends were playing it. Addicted to it like crack. Then I tried it, I understood immediately why. Haven't played D4. No way they can ever get back to that level unfortunately.
The soundtrack from the 4th city is delightful, the 2nd, 1st and Harem are cool too. But to be honest, I didn't notice the difference between the sound of the tracks from the original and the remaster of the game.
That's because the music isn't remastered, it's just the original music. It's not even as good as the music from the D2 OST CD - the music from that CD is of higher quality than the FLAC files linked in the description. There is quite a significant difference in quality. This is Blizzard so you can't expect more than the minimum effort when it comes to remasters.
@yosharian To be fair, Resurrected was not a low effort remaster. I'm no longer a blizzard fan boy as I was during the golden age of Diablo 2 and LOD, but we have to give kudos where they are earned.
I played this game when I was in my teens and I was very impressed and marked by its soundtrack. Latter on, I became interested in music and I fell in love with Metallica. Looking back I can see that Act 1's music moves in a similar sound pallette than some passages of the music of Metallica, specially the album Ride the Lightning. For example, listen to 'The call of ktulu' (its similarity with some passages in Tristam is incredible, almost looks like a big influence), the intro in 'Fight fire with fire', or 'Sanitarium'. Seems that I picked Metallica becouse I had previously fell in love with this sound
I like that they used the dungeon (Cathedral) soundtrack in the spider cave sountrack. Not sure if the other soundtracks (except Tristram of course) were used. I think the options soundtrack has some similarities to the one from D1.
I hear some subtle differences, even on my cheap speakers, I bet someone with good monitors could tell more about what went into the remaster. e.g. 3:38 the drum roll and cymbal crash feels wider, deeper. Btw this is part of a track called "Monastery", which plays in the Act 1 Monastery exterior.
It's a remaster, like all remasters, done solely to make money. All D2 Resurrected has been remade, it's not even the same game. Same with Warcraft 3 remaster, and Starcraft remaster. Half the time the new models and textures look worse, or completely different. It's like a slap in the face to all the original graphic artists who worked on the games. It's like you're saying the original games looked like shit, so we have to re-design them now. Did Diablo 2 really age that much? Did it even look bad? No. Did it even need to be remastered? Of course not. But they realized they could make a LOT of money re-releasing it. And consumers could have ignored it, and saved their money ,but you all got suckered into a huge moneymaking SCAM.
@@chumbawampa It's not like saying original games looked like shit. SC and Diablo remasters are great, as they keep the original art direction and improve what originally was limited mostly by technology. I dislike some changes (like new portraits in SC, resembling more those from SC2), but that alone doesn't cancel all the great work that has been done and that really improves how the game looks and works. Sure, they are made with profit in mind, but guess what? Originals were aswell! WC3 Refunded is ofc another story.
The music from the FLAC files in the description are much lower quality than the D2 OST CD music. There is quite a significant difference if you listen to them side by side.

dude... fuck yea
You can almost hear the wind, the dread, the quiet, the demons, the horror, the beauty
I feel it
after 25 years im still listening ah memories best game ever
Close, release date: June 29, 2000
Да, чувак!
- After 25 years? - Always...
starcraft is better by far, but diablo is pretty sick yes
@@LogoSystemCG comparing RTS to Slasher RPG is like comparing Car to Boat
Not only the game but the soundtracks what made this game unforgettable. Man, experiencing this game as a kid... and still nothing came close to that feeling.
It really did all tie together. The ui, the gameplay, the music, the voice actors. More then just it's parts.
@@Drak976 That is what you call A+ game ..or a master piece. There is quantum of games out there but only few reach this status.
The only thing that i can say it matches D2 is being a noob in Lineage 2. I remember traveling the first time to giran.
Diablo 1 did
56:05 onwards gets my heart racing, it’s so good
Only song with vocals... It's crazy how good this is without anything too fancy!
Back when blizzard music was eerie, mesmerizing, and utterly memorable. Topnotch quality in fx/sound effects too. Nothing will ever come close to the first two games in this franchise.
lol D4 trailer playing some synthesized pop nonsense that doesn't even match the genre.
Diablo 4 is cool as well and in ten years there will be guys commenting on D4 videos on how it was the best game ever made etc
The music + game itself , one of the most epic games of my childhood.
Ah yess, Lut Gholein really takes me out of my head. It's so mysterious!
16:33 this is why you're here.
you're god damn right!
No im here for 38:40 the true best piece of the ost
15:07 and onward in Wilderness and into Tristram has influenced me in ways I cannot describe. I wish I had an endless loop of this style of guitar.
Just loop the first 52 seconds of The Eagles "Hotel California" and you will have your wish.😆
@@DPR-GENXI think of Diablo everything I hear this song!
Listen to the album "The Moon is a Dead World" by Gospel, its exactly what you're looking for.
Listen "call of ktulu" of Metallica, that intro
Muting D4 music and playing this in the background. Pure bliss. Now if only I can change sound effects.
Just change the whole game lol
I firmly believe the fact that d4‘s soundtrack sucks is part of it’s declining popularity

Thanks for this. Always wondered what the translation was. One of my favs by far on the soundtrack
@@mantra510 YW. The language is Sanskriet btw.
At long last, high quality full soundtrack with full Act V Siege piece. Thank you
I thought it was Mars by Gustav Holst when listening to it, especially around 1:58:00.

That part its so good
I live for this part

Stay a while and listen!
the most horrifying of soundtracks, the pure terror of the Options menu
Childhood and some more (active player today). Thank you for the upload.

what you men by right cuts? it was wrong before?
The D2 OST CD version is better.
Beautiful music from a beautiful game
I can’t forget this track until I live. This will always make me feel nostalgic and think to my mother, father, brother and great childhood. I was playing with Diablo 2 exactly 19 years ago today, when my father was told me that my grandfather had passed away.
The music makes me tingle. I am playing the current season but I'll admit playing it way back when it was outrageously the King are the best memories.
D2 intro gives me ASMR
Beautiful title render!
Man I love the action that plays when you kill Meph for the first time in any difficulty. It's so good! 1:33:08
Just played through this game for the first time a few weeks ago, from the amazing remaster, and can safely say it holds up!
No nostalgia glasses just straight up amazing gameplay, atmosphere, and of course the badass music. Blizzard will never be like this again it's a shame ❤
This is perfect for playing Diablo 4.
I bought D2R t orelive the nostalgia... but, to my dismay, my computer or my internet can not handle it... the music will bring me back
Dedicated to my friends Raimon and Jordi, some day we'll reach the endgame of D2.
16:33 best backsong for every game!!!
Demonic atmosphere music have never sounded so relaxing. Powerful nostalgia
Best game soundtrack ever.
STILL unsurpassed after playing Diablo 4.
Diablo 2 is still king in every way.
that intro is epic!
Back when my Dad and I would play together. He would choose the fighter, I would pick the sorceress. Years after the Resurrection remake, I'd take my crack at the Assassin. Still listen to this and the Warcraft 2 soundtrack. 😌

It may be the same quality but in the 20 years since I've heard this my system is now much much better.
When an entire soundtrack is better than 95% of today's games
Caves are so dope!
22:00 GOOOOLD
I've stayed a while and listened..
38:40 Toru (Act 2 Town) - best.
Oh My God - sweet memories :)
I can't do that yet.
Not in town.

Probably because you don't have to listen to dang underkin grabbling at you.
Blizzard will never top this (not that they're trying)
I have to realize again and again that Act 3 Spider is the Dungeon theme from Diablo 1
Never forget the Kurast adrenaline rush (ante-litteram Apocalypto Jungle run)
It's like same song but better quality
