Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - Norsca Invades (Soundtrack Mix)

This is a little mix of two tracks from Vermintide 2 I've been working on and decided to upload it somewhere before it gets lost among all the files. I have a YouTube channel, after all - so I put it on my YouTube channel.

The tracks used are both from Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and they are "Norsca Attacks" as well as "Norsca Chaos" - hence the title of the mix: "Norsca Invades".
Initially it was just meant to an extension of the criminally short track "Norsca Attacks" as I couldn't find an extended version anywhere on YouTube, but as I started working on it I begun adding sounds and splicing the two tracks together (as best as I could).
What I ended up was a track I was happy enough to listen to myself while playing - with a slow progression culminating in total Norscan barbarianism.

All credit for the music goes to the incredibly talented Jasper Kyd and is probably owned by Fatshark.

Most of the sound effects (War horns, Screaming Bell, Voices) are from the game itself while some have been recorded from Warhammer: Total War - for the maximum grimdark heresy we all know and loathe. The initial horn section (used throughout the track) is from the Gameplay Trailer and is missing from the Soundtrack.

I'm not an artist nor particularly versed in mixing music and this is a product of me bumbling my way through Audacity - you've been informed.

"You hear the horns. The birds take off to the skies as the loud raspy wailing of their accursed howls shakes the trees. They are coming for you. Their gods are hungry."

[countravencrest]

Imagine living near the coast and hearing this in the night

[SeargentJoker]

You larp as the Norsca. I larp as the doomed defenders. We are not the same

[dutchlinde]

It took me forever to realize that the 4 war horns we hear each represent one of the 4 chaos gods!!!

[Janfon]

The whole remix amplifies the brutality and raw power of the Norsca soundtrack. Cleverly placed war cries and war horns immersed me with ease into the songs in a way that the original tracks never did. Suffice it to say, that ending was pure genius.

I had a horde of skaven attack my players in d&d, I played this synced to my description "From the forest across the path you hear the wail of a horn. Answered swiftly by one deep in the forest behind you. And another. And another. And another".

2:58 what the Romans heard the moment huns crossed the Volga river

[makeitrain]

I'm sold on this the moment I finally got to hear the norsca attacks horns by themselves.

[sasha-rgnd]

3:35 WHO DARES TO OPPOSE THE WILL OF THE CHAOS GODS?!

[StoicNatsoc]

Lifting weights is a Godlike experience with this track on repeat. you dont know what you can lift until you start inner chanting with your Chaos bros, while deadlifting.

[centric]

"The wails of breath through hollowed bones echo over the hills and pound through the valleys. Fire boils the horizon, red like blood and black smoke hazes the heavens. Ash and cinders swirl like snow, and stick on like wax."

"Crows fly with the wind, feathers stained crimson with gore and beaks grasping the eyes and flesh of the dead."

"As the horns draw closer you can hear the distant howls of madness and bellows of rage. It matters not what god marks their existence."

"They hate. They kill. They yell. And they are not alone... worse things skitter in the shadows and clutch blades in the dark ruins of man..."

[akumaking]

This perfectly encapsulates the fear and terror the Norscans bright to bear.

[Mr_Flake]

Everyone: hears this, thinks of Northlanders
Me: hears this, thinks of Chaos Warriors saying "That Tickles"

[MrDCP]

We are children of Chaos. But we are Norsca first most. Come brothers! the South are ripe for taking

[Imperator_Chrysalis]

These horns are really scary sounding.

[JipperMcGroot]

4 years later, and this is still my #1 chaos mix to listen to

[tddrwdw]

From begining to end during this piece I massacred a Brettonian army... The Gods are satisfied, and so are my warriors

[pokcmvmxckm]

Me and the boys on our way to "liberate" the Empire of their valuables and skulls.

[sethleoric]

Me in Total War Medieval 2 when i play as Denmark and decide to go on a funny pillaging spree across the HRE

[dennismazurnieruchomosci]

Amazing mix! I love how it makes me see a story in my head. Imagine you're a soldier in a small coastal fort, alone during the night watch. The fog sits heavily over the sea. And then you hear horns. First, you see only one ship, then another, then another... and more horns.

You ring the alarm and rally your companions while the sounds of drums and horns are getting louder and more terrifying with each second.

Everybody is finally in their positions and all you can do is await in fear.

3:05 - the ships have arrived and the horde of raiders is now running your way...

This is why we love Warhammer
