My info

The beginning of the CD is brilliant, first themes are very nice, melodic, and are leading the whole album. Unfortunately, album doesn't keep the high quality until the end and deeper in the CD you can hear typical "space fillers" ambient tracks... [7/10]

Facts / description

Sweeping melodies were combined to form a backdrop of musical discord which created the strange, tortured feeling of 'Claw Mountain'.The music tor the game's villain needed to be foreboding and sinister. Strings and minor chords became the basis for Belial's theme. 'Huline Jungle's' tribal sound was composed by recording chants and authentic ethnic instruments. The result immerses the listener in the lush vibrant sounds of the woodlands. The inspiration for 'The Draracle Halls' came from scraping heavy chains along the recording studio floor. The sounds would later serve as the song's drum track.
