Jolielegal | Icarus' Ascent (version 1) - God of War 3 Soundtrack @Jolielegal | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
First version of Icarus' Ascent, the theme of the flying sections. It plays during the first Icarus' Vent sequence (when exiting the Path of Eos).

An alternative version (version 2) plays during the second and fourth flying sections. During the third flying section, the game plays another version (version 3) which is the same as version 1, but with a different starting point.

Note that you never actually get to hear this version track in the game, because the sequence is shorter than the song (and you can't idle). The climatic section with the brass at 2:12, especially, is never heard in the game, which is a shame because it is arguably the best part of the song.

Version 2: youtu.be/8qjZjlP8VWI
Version 3: youtu.be/lBcYWqrnZmk
Extended version (versions 1 and 2 edited together): youtu.be/xkvTcdiJlpE
E3 2009 demo version: youtu.be/qxbFuxbVSb4
