Anyone into Diablo 1 and 2?

[Ola Englund]

Shit Ola, I've been listening to the wrong version. I listened to the Diablo II original which had different instrumentation to this... so I wondered the whole time 'why did he change it?'

I just booted up the Diablo I version and now I can see the full out similarity. You did an ace job man! Think it'd be too much of a stretch to cover the Diablo II version? I prefer the arrangement on that one myself.

Link?! Don't remember there was a difference between them.

I clicked that cow(in Diablo 1) to many times

Fucken awesome composition.

Yeah, great cover again. Amazing how many layers there are in the original as well - it's a hard thing to replicate.

Important question... who wants to start a Sneap-board team when Diablo 3 comes out? I usually do my best looting at 3am, so timezones aren't a problem.

Fuck yeah dude!!

I remember owning Diablo II years ago but I dont remember this theme. Either way it sounds awesome and parts kinda remind me of Opeth. Good job man!

It was in the Tristram village in Diablo 2. You go there pretty brief in a segment to save Deckard from Griswold. In Diablo 1 you spend 80% of the time there so If you played Diablo 1 you've heard the song ALOT.

Deckard Cain was it? Its all coming back now haha. I might have to dig it out again, seriously years since I touched it. Once I found out about age of empires II that was all I played on my PC.

good shit.

 

[BrettT]

Fuck me...this thread is making want to load up some Diablo 1 on my PC.

 

[Mago]

how much time did you spend on that Ola?

 

[Ola Englund]

Not to much. Recording the main acoustic took probably half an hour with video.

Then I just kept adding more and more elements to it. Probably a couple of hours work.

bumping this awesome cover of amazing song. not sorry.

I just got an acoustic so I'm going to try to learn it.

 

[Siriun]

Sounds great! I can't even begin to go on and on about the hundreds of hours I've spent of my life into Diablo 2 and Diablo. Legendary games, indeed.
