Yodragon | Through the Roof of the World (All Themes Labeled) - Login Screen Music of WoW Shadowlands @YodragonWasTaken | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
That's right, I've labeled and timestamped every single theme in this login screen track! If you want to know more about a specific theme, just read the little description underneath its timestamp down there.
If you're wondering about who actually made the login screen track itself, Neal Acree is the one who composed the first 2 minutes as a unique piece to start the track with. Glenn Stafford is the one who took that piece and all these other themes, and edited together the full track.
While I'm not 100% a fan of the themes he picked (like why would you include the Broker theme but not the Night Fae theme?), it's far from the worst it could've been. But I do wish he picked more interesting themes for this track tho. Hopefully Dragonflight's login screen track will be an improvement on that front.
0:00 - Ghosts
This was originally the "Graveyard" theme by Jason Hayes from vanilla WoW that plays when you release your spirit. In Cataclysm, Neal Acree remade this theme and it was called "Ghosts".
0:16 - Arthas, My Son
This is a little portion of Arthas' theme which is originally from Warcraft III and was composed by Jason Hayes. Neal Acree brought this theme back big time in Wrath of the Lich King with the intro cinematic.
0:36 - Legends of Azeroth (WoW Main Theme)
This is the music that Jason Hayes composed for the login screen in vanilla WoW. Pretty much every login screen since has referenced this theme.
1:52 - Aspirants Journey
The four main Shadowlands zones were given two main themes (with a lot of variations) and one covenant theme which combines those two themes. This is one of Bastion's main themes, mainly used in action scenes.
3:00 - To Be Kyrian
This is the second main theme of Bastion, mainly used as general ambience for the zone. Also my favorite of the two.
3:58 - Sans Primus
This is one of the main themes of Maldraxxus, with the second one being Death is a Battlefield. I like the little bits of electric guitar here.
4:52 - Oribos Intro
This is the music that plays when you enter Oribos.
5:31 - Broker Opulence
This was the original theme for the Brokers before Tazavesh and Eternity's End expanded upon their theme.
6:05 - Choice Oblivion
This is a darker version of the Choice Rebirth theme that plays in Drust-related areas. Ardenweald's two main themes are Choice and Nocturne, but sadly neither of those were used here except this one.
7:12 - Sans Primus Hero
This is another version of the Sans Primus theme which mainly plays during fights in the Theater of Pain.
7:38 - Ritual Feral
This is a variant of the Ritual theme that mainly plays in the sunscorched area of Revendreth where the feral Venthyr are.
8:09 - Venthyr
This is the covenant theme of Revendreth that combines its two main themes, Ritual and Decadence.
8:24 - Decadence Pride
This is my favorite version of the Decadence theme, it's just so dang catchy.
8:45 - Venthyr
Another part of the Venthyr theme which features the violin. Sounds so beautiful.
9:12 - In-Between
This is the music that plays when you travel through the In-Between to the other zones of the Shadowlands from the Oribos flightmaster.
9:55 - Hope Abandoned
This is one of the main themes that shows up in the Maw and Torghast.
10:17 - Revelation
This is the music that plays in the Arbiter's room in Oribos.
