I did two songs called Juhannuskokko and Metsän Läpi as far as Finnish goes, but Estonian I never tried, I first have to inform myself properly on how that sounds because I actually don't know.^^
@Adrian Von Ziegler : I use these tracks for my battles in Dungeons in Dragons, and my Diablo-themed campaign. You can't imagine the comments I get about the nice feeling of immersion. My players are DELIGHTED and the sessions are EPIC. Thank you very much, you are an amazing composer. I will buy the albums.
Hey, I'm starting a diablo campaign as a dm tonight, really want to drive the story rather than constant combat like the games. Do you have any good materials you'd want to share? I've been using roll20 making maps and stuff can't find very much custom content on it aside from a few things fitted for 2e or the like.
I'm writing a D&D campaign and just decided on who the big bad for the series is going to be this is gonna be the playlist for the final dungeon of the campaign his Mariana-Trench-levels-of-deep ruined underwater temple :)
Currently writing up a settlement, set in the eastern swamps of my homebrewed world. Its ran by a complete occultist madman, with the surrounding bayou being full of werewolves and other monstrosities that he has placed there. This soundtrack is perfect to write this all up to!
Hopefully you have plenty of variety in there if it's so huge. Heard one time of my friend running a game where they made it to the very final dungeon and because there was just too much combat, everyone lost interest. Even quality stuff gets stale without enough variety to help feel as though things are progressing.
@@PhyreI3ird oh yeah no worries My players are more into roleplay than combat, so it's gonna be more atmosphere and puzzle driven As opposed to, you know, slaying hoards of undead to get to the BBEG, only to run out of spells and items
I never understood how you can listen to music while coding or studying. The music pushes either in the back of my mind making it harder for me to concentrate. It also destroys the purpose why you would play music in the first place, which ist to listen to it. Or I focus on the music, but then it get's really hard to concentrate on the task. I understand playing music for artistic, designing or repetitive tasks, but coding??
@@SimplyPhoenix I can't speak for others, but for me music helps with focus. I have pretty bad ADHD, so I constantly get distracted by different sights and sounds around me. To combat this, my desk faces a wall and I listen to music with noise cancelling headphones. These help to block out distractions and allow me to focus. Listening to music is a very common thing in software development in my experience. At least, with every company I've worked with over the last 20 years, probably around 80% of the developers listened to music whilst they worked. It also serves as a "Do Not Disturb" sign between themselves and annoying co-workers who don't understand that developers need to concentrate on their work and getting distracted sets us back, lol.
@@vocorus598 Thx for the insights, I really wanted to understand it and your explanations make a lot of sense. I usually work alone and at home so I dont have the problem of co-workers 😃. I also have concentration issues as a symptom of a disease, but for me its just harder to focus not that I get distracted by everything, so music isnt a help. Still I think, apart from your special situation, your best code you write in silence and alone.
CURSE OF STRHAD! CURSE OF STRHAD! CURSE OF STRHAD! CURSE OF STRHAD! Reading through the module and planning on using this playlist on my games. Very nice very nice. Also helping keep me awake during online classes.
These songs are absolutely perfect for running a creepy undead encounter in a fantasy campaign. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gifts with us! My players all loved it!
There’s actually a lot of variety in here! Nice work! And they’re all pretty pleasing to the ear. This would be a great late-90’s fantasy game soundtrack
It doesn't matter where we are from. It doesn't matter what religion we follow, what language we speak, or what country we are from. What matters is feeling the music's essence and if millions of people like you feel the same way, then the music has achieved its purpose. To everyone who is listening to this music right now and thinking about their past, feeling sad, happy, nostalgic, hopeful, crying, thinking, laughing, and looking towards the future with optimism, I send my greetings. With love from Turkey.
Man I love this, the way you progressively harmonise the violin layers is so exquisite, the depth and darkness brings me beautiful chills as well. Thanks for the inspiration, it's so cool that you in a theme organise the music, 3 albums dedicated to this style is greatly impressive as well. I will certainly listen to this a lot in the background to further develop my knowledge on Dark Fantasy Music. Also just to vibe. If I could I'd listen to this at work instead of needing to listen to mainstream commercial radio to be honest, mainstream radio drives me insane lol.
Perfect for writing storys, role-playing, and falling asleep too! Thank you for making this it works with so many scenes in the roleplay that i do with my friends especially the darker moments! :D
It is used in Lil Miss Rarity, that I saw years ago. I almost had a heart attack when I heard it in this compilation, I had forgotten it was from Adrian von Ziegler. But yeah, I agree it would be good in Fable too!
Oh Adrian, I'm so glad I found this video, I've been desperately looking for music to try to convince my muse to work with me but so far, nothing has worked, until I came across this beautiful compilation, it's the exact amount of beauty and darkness I need at the moment, so thank you so much for creating it
You are so ridiculously talented and I've listened to this entire video many times over. You create some of the most epic compositions of anything I've ever heard and deserve all the recognition and success.
Adrian, thank you for sharing such a wonderful compilation. You are one of the reasons why I started composing myself. I am doing something a bit more synth-HansZimmerish-oriented, but still similar to your stuff, and I released my first video a couple of months ago. Looking forward to hearing more from you!
I've used this exact video nearly every week for over a year for my dnd game. To play any other music for that game feels like sacrilege. I must thank you sincerely for the incredible music.
listening to this while playing elden ring is so perfect so much of your music just fits the game wonderfully. The last quarter of the video while going through raya lucaria is perfect.
This is amazing and exactly the vibe i’m looking for when writing. The tracks I’ve heard so far are god tier especially Haunted Corridor. Man, true talent right here folks.
The soundtrack is just brilliant and fits so well with the video’s theme. The music selection adds depth and emotion to every scene, making the overall experience truly remarkable. The tracks are perfectly matched to the visuals, creating a seamless and engaging viewing experience. The result is a powerful and memorable video that showcases the impact of a well-chosen soundtrack in enhancing storytelling.
This is awesome Adrian! Your dark music has always been some of my favourite things you do and this collection is just what I needed for a day of working on my project for school! Your music never fails to inspire me and make me much more inclined to be productive.
Im only a few minutes in, but im absolutely loving the vibes of this music, and really the music itself. Definitely using it in an upcoming d&d one shot! Idk how this only has ~500k views, this is great music for campaigns, and im sure even just setting the mood for writing or other things. And an early congrats for 1 million subs, should be any day now!
So this is what true talent sounds like! Congrats on creating such great pieces. I can't wait to finish listening to them all. You've helped me a lot while writing. Have a brilliant day!
@@apigeon1715 Thanks. I've been using this since the original game came out. As for the book, I don't see too many tragic stories these days either. That was one of the motivators for writing it that way, actually. It was originally going to be a more standard fantasy novel, and after falling down a rabbit hole of genre research I decided to adapt it to what will end up being a Shakespearean style of tragedy. Gloom and doom while things go boom. :)
Thank God I found this mix - started writing sword and sorcery and this ambience has really helped so far! Can't wait to revisit it as I continue to write!
Your music inspires me and I always listen to it when I have time to write. From your creative music, to writing your own language, to storytelling, I feel like I could never amount to your creativity. Still, I have hope lol Thanks as always for sharing your work with us!
@@MiguelCastillo-uv1lw I made it public. Took me about fifteen minutes or so, and I now have "subscribers". I should probably be nicer to them and add more music on the list... tomorrow.
@Adrian Von Ziegler by far one of mt favorites! this is the music I have been listening to while I write my novel. it fits my book so well, that it helps the creativity flow over the page. You are amazing!!!!
This is the absolute perfect soundtrack to read the First Law book series. After countless hours spent with them over more than a year, both are forever linked in my mind.
your tracks are simply one of the best fantasy-themed ressources for pen&paper roleplaying. (We are playing in the DSA-System and Universe) I used to put very much effort in selecting film music tracks - but these are just TOP NOTCH! Thank you!
Wow hold on a minute, I've been listening to this for weeks and I thought it was a random compilation, but you made all this music? I hecking love it. I should learn to read. Once I have a spare bit of cash I'm absolutely going to buy the albums. Great work, yo.
Love this dark trilogy great job Adrian Von Zielger love how you composed each song in this playlist I feel it has everything needed to make each song its own and it tell it’s own just by listening to each one great playlist well done!
This is genuinely my favorite reading playlist for a darker fantasy. Books I’ve read to this playlist so far: Six of Crows Duology, A Court of Silver Flames, Throne of Glass and I am now currently reading Crown of Midnight to it. I will update as new books are added. Currently Reading: Heir of Fire
its 3 hours of PURE bliss... EVERY piece are just ... stunning. beautiful and enchanting ! Thank you Adrian von Ziegler for sharing this with us. I hope that you are a huge composor and being regularly hired. it's what you deserve and even more. thanks again and you have a WONDERFUL day :)
gotta go with the 97 anime soundtrack for that fam! search up berserk music for reading you'll see it'll have a reuploaded in parenthesis if you haven't already sooooooo good and immersive!
For about two years now I've been writing down what happened in our D&D campaign in a blog as a sort of story. Yesterday we finally managed to defeat Strahd, and I just wanted to mention that I loved having this music as a backdrop for all those times I've been writing for hours to get that blog online. It really helped getting in the head-space of that eerie cursed land of Barovia.
Been using your Music for dnd for the past two years the time i hear a player going "oh shit its that music again!" makes every game magical! Thank you for making such good music!
I remember Adrian von Ziegler back in 2014 when I was finding D&D music for my campaign for my friends. Now I'm drawing fantasy concept art for a portfolio, listening to TH-cam compilations, and see this name pop up. I already know this is going to be a fucking awesome 3 hours.
From one artist to another, your work is truly stunning. Dawn of Fate and Nightflower are particularly beautiful - I often write my manuscripts with these tracks playing in the background. If I ever manage to bring my Dark Fantasy novels to the screen, I would love to use your music.
Someone is strong and rich, thinking to controls the world, someone is beauty and perfect thinking to be the best, someone is intelligent and omniscient thinking to improve the world, but only a wizard of the night can create this kind of music and only music can touch our hearts like this. Thank you for the melodies, thank you for the dreams. I will leave a dark rose for you. N.
Hi Adrian, I must say thank you so much for the fantasy atmosphere created with your amazing composition skills. I came across this video while looking for some background music that might help me write an essay about gothic fictions. This is such a magnificent piece of work. I'm at 36:00 now and so happy there's so much more to go. Thanks!
My Grim Hollow campaign starts on Thursday. I now have perfect music - even listening while I make dungeon maps because the melodies are so fantastic! Thank you so much Adrian!

Also a writer here. This music sets the tone.
Nice!
Good luck with your writing! Hope you have a lot of inspiration 😊
good to see a fellow writter

How is it posible to create so much music and yet be so consistently good in every piece???
Genius makes EVERYTHING possible.
He’s amazing!
This is how, its something he loves to do, and you always excel at what you enjoy
@@cobblecrafter2686 You nailed it.🤘
He sticks to the main theme and doesn't get "lost" in the "more is better" ... Also he loves what he does, of course.

see You there space cowboy!
Going to listen to this when playing valheim for sure . Listening to your songs quite a while now and always sounds amazing
Currently writing a dark fantasy and needed some background music while I brainstormed. I am not disappointed in what happened here. Thank you!
same . how is it going ?
@@DeliaFlr +1, using this music to get me in the writing mood for dark fantasy/horror fantasy and i think it's working very well, how yall doing?
Thank God I found this mix - started writing sword and sorcery and this ambience has really helped so far! Can't wait to revisit it as I continue to write!
Your music inspires me and I always listen to it when I have time to write. From your creative music, to writing your own language, to storytelling, I feel like I could never amount to your creativity. Still, I have hope lol Thanks as always for sharing your work with us!
I listen to him while writing too. Half the time.
im scared of my french flashcards

Best music to have playing whilst reading my dark fantasy novels ❤

This is a perfect music for writing! I think that I should make a list called "writing music" so I don't have to search for it. Let's do it.
I need that music list too lmao
@@MiguelCastillo-uv1lw I made it public. Took me about fifteen minutes or so, and I now have "subscribers". I should probably be nicer to them and add more music on the list... tomorrow.
@@lampyrisnoctiluca9904 Great! i just added it to my library, thanks!
I was looking for something dark to jam with as I write this bad guy for my novel, now this is perfect.
Just discovered your music and it is so incredibly good. Listen to it all the time now as I work, reading, and playing D&D.
man this really helps with my writing- i thank you for posting this
@Adrian Von Ziegler by far one of mt favorites! this is the music I have been listening to while I write my novel. it fits my book so well, that it helps the creativity flow over the page. You are amazing!!!!
This is the absolute perfect soundtrack to read the First Law book series. After countless hours spent with them over more than a year, both are forever linked in my mind.
A better soundtrack for first law would be Cher and Elton John.
your tracks are simply one of the best fantasy-themed ressources for pen&paper roleplaying. (We are playing in the DSA-System and Universe) I used to put very much effort in selecting film music tracks - but these are just TOP NOTCH! Thank you!
This sounds absolutely epic and glorious. That would be great if you made music for movies.
Nice . Love the long dark uploads
And the legend strikes again. Best music ever~
Wow hold on a minute, I've been listening to this for weeks and I thought it was a random compilation, but you made all this music? I hecking love it. I should learn to read. Once I have a spare bit of cash I'm absolutely going to buy the albums. Great work, yo.
Love this dark trilogy great job Adrian Von Zielger love how you composed each song in this playlist I feel it has everything needed to make each song its own and it tell it’s own just by listening to each one great playlist well done!
This is genuinely my favorite reading playlist for a darker fantasy. Books I’ve read to this playlist so far: Six of Crows Duology, A Court of Silver Flames, Throne of Glass and I am now currently reading Crown of Midnight to it. I will update as new books are added.
Currently Reading: Heir of Fire
This is beautifully inspiring. Thank you for creating and sharing your soul with us
This piece is put together so well, I love to listen to this while doing just about anything.
Damn. Good timing! 3 hours of AVZ...loving it...
Dawn of Fate is my No. 1 from like always!!! Thank you Mr. Von Ziegler!!!
I just love this playlist! I listen to it all the time wile writing DnD adventures - super inspiring! Thank you so much :D
Just taking a break from playing Diablo 4, while making dinner and this playing in the background. Great times!
Breathtaking 🖤🤍🖤. Your music is always peace and comfort to my ears. All kinds! Beautiful musical genius!
its 3 hours of PURE bliss... EVERY piece are just ... stunning. beautiful and enchanting ! Thank you Adrian von Ziegler for sharing this with us. I hope that you are a huge composor and being regularly hired. it's what you deserve and even more. thanks again and you have a WONDERFUL day :)
Perfect for table games. Thank you sir!
Awesome collection! Many thanks for all the content, huge fan of your music 😊
Listening to this while reading Berserk. It is a perfect background.
gotta go with the 97 anime soundtrack for that fam! search up berserk music for reading you'll see it'll have a reuploaded in parenthesis if you haven't already sooooooo good and immersive!
Nice, I'll give it a try
For about two years now I've been writing down what happened in our D&D campaign in a blog as a sort of story. Yesterday we finally managed to defeat Strahd, and I just wanted to mention that I loved having this music as a backdrop for all those times I've been writing for hours to get that blog online. It really helped getting in the head-space of that eerie cursed land of Barovia.
This music gives me Throne of Glass vibes and I love it 😍
"Blackened Roots" just moves me, deep in my soul. Thank you for sharing your music with us!
This is perfect for a creepy dungeon or underwater temple exploration in D&D!
This is brilliant. I close my eyes, have a fireplace in snapping in the background and let my mind wander ... like I said, this is brilliant.
I listen to this playlist while painting up a Stormcast Eternal Knight Incantor. 10/10 focused.
Been using your Music for dnd for the past two years the time i hear a player going "oh shit its that music again!" makes every game magical!
Thank you for making such good music!
I'm listening to these songs while I read Berserk. It's been fantastic.
I remember Adrian von Ziegler back in 2014 when I was finding D&D music for my campaign for my friends. Now I'm drawing fantasy concept art for a portfolio, listening to TH-cam compilations, and see this name pop up. I already know this is going to be a fucking awesome 3 hours.
Listening to this while reading the Berserk manga is fantastic :)
So prepping a fantasy dnd campaign has never felt so badass, and I can't wait to use this in the game for my players
I love them all! Please make "the Celtic trilogy"
These are amazing! So good as background while painting too.
This is perfect to listen to while reading the Old Testament.
From one artist to another, your work is truly stunning. Dawn of Fate and Nightflower are particularly beautiful - I often write my manuscripts with these tracks playing in the background. If I ever manage to bring my Dark Fantasy novels to the screen, I would love to use your music.
Reading Berserk, just embarked upon the path of the Black Swordsman
same
Me too
RIP Miura
@@armintargaryen9216 RIP
me too man
Such talent. Old lady here, but this really reaches me, down deep where things are hidden.
So nice music.. i follows you many years, thanks for you music! 🖤🖤🖤
Ehy ^^ I make similar music to Adrian's one...check it out, if you want to ^^
This music relaxes my mind and spirit. Thank you!
After The Reign of "2 Hours of Dark Music by Adrian von Ziegler" Here arrives the one to take it down, a creation even greater than a masterpiece
I couldn't agree more
why does this make for such perfect study music
Never thought studying can be this badass
Love the choice of background image. Thanks for linking to the artist. Music is great!
Amazing again and again, you are a genius
Someone is strong and rich, thinking to controls the world, someone is beauty and perfect thinking to be the best, someone is intelligent and omniscient thinking to improve the world, but only a wizard of the night can create this kind of music and only music can touch our hearts like this. Thank you for the melodies, thank you for the dreams. I will leave a dark rose for you. N.
Ooo I like this. Will be fun to listen to when I'm in a brooding mood. 😎💜🌟
Hi Adrian, I must say thank you so much for the fantasy atmosphere created with your amazing composition skills. I came across this video while looking for some background music that might help me write an essay about gothic fictions. This is such a magnificent piece of work. I'm at 36:00 now and so happy there's so much more to go. Thanks!
Amazing, here's a fan from Mexico
My Grim Hollow campaign starts on Thursday. I now have perfect music - even listening while I make dungeon maps because the melodies are so fantastic! Thank you so much Adrian!
Me: reads into the shadow realm
Also me: "Draw your last pathetic card yugi."
"There are no pathetic cards in my grandpa's deck Kaiba, but there is Exodia!"
@@Supirito lol great comments
"Now I activate, the Seal of Orichalcos!"
I read this in Kaiba's voice.
@@VincereMalum ME TOO😂
Wow... This is a beautiful, amazing, emotional dark experience!
Thx for music. It's good soundtrack for playing gameboard "Tainted Grail: the Fall of Avalon".
