Guild Wars 2

So, the main thing I remember about running SAB Tribulation mode (other than how it completely RIP’d my Ranger’s Deaths counter) was the incredible alternate variation of the Zone songs when you used that special item that got put in your inventory. Those songs were very pumped up and got the same effect out of me in keeping strong through the chaos.

One thing always bothered me, though: I can’t find evidence of these songs ANYWHERE. The Wiki doesn’t mention them, they’re not on ANet’s Soundcloud (To the extent of my knowledge. I don’t know my way around Soundcloud that well), I can’t even find them on YouTube.

Is this intentional? Are they guest songs that ANet used with permission but others aren’t allowed to?

They are not songs created by Anet, that’s why you can’t find them on Anet’s soundcloud.

You can find them all on youtube:

Hi. I did those covers.

To explain further: A while back I decided to start covering some music from SAB. I did one song, Josh Foreman and Lena Chappelle found it and liked it, and then Josh said I should do another specific track. And then I did. And then another. And then I turned it into a sort of running thing, “Hardcore Adventure Box”. The idea was to eventually create a short metal cover album highlighting each world as they released.

I don’t know the exact timeline on this next part because I’m not technically an ArenaNet employee, but around the time they decided to turn HAB into a yearly festival, they also reached out to me and asked if they could add my covers to the game (which was both very exciting and also puzzling, considering the musical aesthetic of the game so far). And then it happened.

The Wiki actually kinda does reference the covers a bit in the entry for the Shard of Duskk. Or rather, it mentions me. (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shard_of_Duskk)

And, of course, you can download all of them for free.

Glad you enjoyed them, btw.

I couldn’t remember the name of the item to activate the songs! X3 That’s why I couldn’t find anything on the Wiki.

But, wow. Thanks for the explanation AND the links to them! They will definitely make the work hours go by!
