Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible - Music of WoW Dragonflight: Embers of Neltharion

This is the music that plays in Aberrus, the new raid added in patch 10.1, Embers of Neltharion. A lot of music here is also reused from Zaralek Cavern and Fyrakk, so check those videos if you can't find a theme you're looking for.

It's always great seeing Neal Acree composing more music for WoW (that aren't cutscenes or cinematics). Last expansion he mainly did the Domination theme, and now he's done some themes for Aberrus. Admittedly, it's mostly been action-oriented tracks from him lately. Not gonna lie, I do kinda miss his older tracks from Cataclysm through Legion that were a lot more varied. But hey, the new action tracks in this raid are incredible, so I can't complain too much.

I like how a little bit of the Void Elf theme is being referenced in the "Aberrus" theme. Makes sense, considering the void's influence on Aberrus, especially in certain areas.

The "Sundered Flame" theme also brings back the Forbidden Reach theme but puts a villainous twist on it which fits nicely with Sarkareth. You can even hear those same woodwind instruments that I don't know the name of but appear in other Dragon Isles themes.
