Why Diablo 3 music is awesome!

The experience of Diablo 3 is heightened by the music. The sound helps add to the visual element and creating the intense atmosphere. All the Diablo games are known for their fantastic sound effects and music. The credit for all that goes mainly to Blizzard North's Matt Uelmen. Matt has earned a name for himself in the gaming world with his music.

The team that worked on Diablo 3 music was a completely new team. They had not worked on the previous Diablo editions. However, they had worked on other Blizzard titles including World of Warcraft. You can also buy Blizzard soundtracks and other musical elements from all their games in their online store.

The Diablo 3 Audio Team includes Russell Brower as the Director of Audio and Video at Blizzard Entertainment. He has composed most of the music for Diablo 3. The Lead Sound Designer is Joseph Lawrence and is responsible for most of the sound effects. He has also contributed to the music.

The Diablo genre of music is orchestral with more of a classical feel than modern pop or rock. There is one full orchestral score which is known as the Diablo 3 Overture.

Russel Brower, in reply to a fan's mail about the Diablo 3 music said there is nothing quite like the fantastic Diablo 3 music. The overture was recorded with the idea to impress both existing and new audience of game players. Along with that, new ideas have been explored in the music score. All sound effects have been created in the hi-tech sound studios of Blizzard's headquarters in Irvine, California.

Community manager Bashiok has said about the music of Diablo 3: "A new skills goes in and it seems awesome, it looks cool, but until you get the sound attached it just seems incomplete."

Bashiok also said, “While World of Warcraft has huge epic orchestra pieces and driving melodies, Diablo music is far more subdued and moody. If you’re looking for big concert-hall filling scores, it’s just not what Diablo is about, although some bigger pieces certainly exist and you’ll get to enjoy them. Diablo and its music is more about ambiance, as it’s a game that should mostly be filled with the sounds of slaughtering demons.”
