2:30 to 3:30 is breathtaking, what a great adaption and progression of the original theme. Your whole track is probably one of the top PC games songs of all time. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Shadow Wood always had that vibes that you are on your murky journey towards Korax’s first lieutenant after surpassing the 7 portals. You can feel the hostility of Cronos’ invaded realm as you pave your way accentuated by that dark atmosphere of hopelessness and dreading adventure.
I played this game when i was 8 years old now at 35 i had so much nostalgic . And itrs true you feel that in shadow Woods and lost for rhe first time had no patrons like 7 portals and one can feel kinnda lost
The atmosphere!!! You deserve to be the composer of the Hexen remake. You can picture the crusader cleric and mage being stalked in the forest, to this jam.
Woooah man!! This is simply one of the best Hexen remixes I've heard: The first part of the track whit the flute is amazing, I feel that nostalgic, dark and mysterious atmosphere, like the original but the next of the track whit that drums, sounds so epic. If there was a Hexen III, I put this remix in the game, Hexen should never die!!! :) Excuse my english xD

I've been working on a Hexen project, with one of the primary maps in the MAP13 slot -- using the Shadow Wood music. The melody has grown on me during this time, and it's my second-favorite song in the game now (behind only Forsaken Outpost). A beautiful melancholy to it; an ode to things lost. I've made some breakthroughs through writer's-block and making progress on my map again; proof that I do in fact have what it takes to actually make things rather than just want to make things. It is in this context that I randomly ask "hexen remix" of TH-cam and it answers with this -- a powerful take on the song not just of the Shadow Wood or the Effluvium, but also these Cliffs I've been poring over for some months. A soundtrack of a small idea reaching a dramatic culmination; inspiration and motivation to see it find its wings after all.
@@lukejansen3540 Luke Jansen I was playing guitar and sudenly found this harp arpegio, which is from the begining. I fall in nostalgy and decided to search for some remix or original with better instruments. Very glad that it happened to me :D Btw, your site is just a treasure!
@@dechmusic Thanks dude! yeah Im all for the nostalgia, which is why I started all this in the first place because when I wasnt playing the games I always had the music stuck in my head, and I always thought if only it was updated so I learned how to do it. There will be many more tunes on the way Im always working on something, though sometimes I dont upload anything till I've completed a whole bunch of songs. :D
this is actually amazing remix. i always felt that the OST version was 1% off from what it should have been, even though it was by far the best track on the game. this remix actually sounds just like the OST version should have sounded. Just wow man.

My title for this: Another Universe The Shadow Wood had easily the best BGM in all of Hexen, and it's been begging for a proper remaster for years. This... wow, I'm actually kinda overwhelmed by how awesome this is. It really nails the otherworldly feel and the beauty of the original song. I really like how it shifts from mystic and magical to epic battle to suspenseful and dark as the song goes through, and how it does that so smoothly. If this were to be used in a proper remaster of the game, this would be perfect for when you enter a new realm or universe. Just... astounding, in so many ways. It even makes me wish the maps this plays in were bigger so I could listen to it more (that said, it does take me 8 and a half minutes to clean out the whole map, so at least I can hear a full loop of it once). The only real complaint I can make about this is when it fades out it sounds like it should be continuing on instead (or maybe I'm just being greedy). Other than that, job done masterfully, easily my favorite track you've made. Something about this song tells me you'd also have a lot of fun remastering Hexen's Bright Crucible map...
I always thought that the original OST version was some 1% off somehow, like a demo version. it was still by far the best soundtrack of the game, but i just felt that it didn't reach it's true potential on the OST. this remix indeed nails the song like no other. maybe even challenging the original song.
Hey, I've created a shortened version of this remix and uploaded it on my channel (fully non-profit, non-monetized). The original remix is fully credited to you and the video is titled as Luke Jansen Remix, shortened. If you wish any changes in the video description or wish it to be taken down, just comment the video and I will do accordingly. As a huge Hexen and Heretic fan I love your remixes of their OST's. Thank you for making them!
Hi Luke, I've been working on a Doom mod for a few years now, and while searching for music to use in it I discovered your channel. I absolutely fell in love with your Hexen and Heretic remixes, especially Shadow Wood. It would fit the first map beautifully. May I have your permission to use it? You can follow my mod here if that interests you: www.moddb.com/mods/poharex-the-second-invasion Thank you and have a great day.

What an incredible remix---bravo!
Fantastically well done! Hexen is one of the most underrated RPG gems but it has always had some incredible music and this certaintly does it justice!
Thanks mate, im glad you liked it! 😉
It's not an RPG.

The best remix in the world!
Your talent is our bliss, mate
Haha Im glad you think so man :D
Oh yeah. A great remix of one of my favorite tracks of one of my favorite shooters of all time. Great work, mate
Thanks!
You sure it’s a shooter?
This remix/remake is from another world! Winnowing Hall when, milord?! Thank you for your work! 🎶🔥✨

If I want to use it can I?

This song is perfect for the TitleMap!
@@gabrielbelmont1166 sure, just give credit if possible, thanks!
@@lukejansen3540Thanks to you!
Should I just use "Luke Jansen" for the credits or do you have another alias?
Either this or Dark Crucible are my favorite songs in this often forgotten series (Heretic, Hexen, etc.) - a beautiful rendition of this classic!

Best version of this song as always man.
What I love about this one is that extremely off key drum is gone hahaha
Haha thanks yea sometimes if i hear something that i dont like in the ost ill leave it out
