Song of the Day: Invincible (from Wrath of the Lich King) (12th January 2016)

Today's Song of the Day comes from the popular video-game franchise World Of Warcraft, published by Blizzard Entertainment. The music comes from the soundtrack of the second expansion of the MMORPG, 'Wrath of the Lich King', and is well known among the community for being the epic backing track to the opening and ending cinematics.

I never really got into World of Warcraft (or WoW for short), but one thing I did enjoy was the soundtrack to the game, especially 'Invincible'. According to the wiki, 'Invincible' was released as part of the WoW 5 Year Anniversary Battlecry Mosaic in 2010, later included in the Wrath of the Lich King standalone soundtrack. It was also available in game, and was dropped upon defeating Arthas Menethil, the titular Lich King, in Icecrown Citadel.

As for WoW, I haven't heard anything about it for quite a while. The series seems to have been overtaken by Blizzard's other titles, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft (which I love), Heroes of the Storm (also a big fan), Starcraft II (not my type of thing) and Overwatch (still in beta, but looks quite interesting).

To listen to this epic, haunting piece of music, take a look below:
