"An eternity passed, and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness. The descent had destroyed me... and yet... I lived."

I cosplayed Raziel at a convention in Seattle over easter weekend. Not as many people recognized it as I had hoped, but those that did, thought it was awesome to see a LoK cosplay. Some pics of my costume are on flickr if you do a search for norwescon. Enjoy!

I miss the 90s of videogames so much. Yeah, games are great today, but back then, as a 12 year old during the 3D-gaming uprising. It was just so amazing.

The horse-like screeching is epic!

Still got the chills on my spine when I listen to this.... Epic!

If ONLY there was a fully animated movie of the whole story.. ahh! What an amazing plot, what amazing characters!

I loved some of the script in this game, like the things Kain would say - "We are all pawns in a game, Raziel, we are moved to a point and made to perform what we are destined to do. We can never change the outcome for the outcome is all that we exist for." - Or something of that nature. Great game, great theme music, great script.

"History abhors a Paradox" ... The final words of Soul Reaver 2. After Kain spares Raziel his fate at the hands of the Reaver Blade.

best soundtrack for video game..and what a game it was!!!Hail Raziel!!!I miss you and your eternal fight with Kain.

Still better than most of the modern game soundtracks. Simply unique.

"raziel you are worthy"

The love for this game is still alive since i was a little. Hope that one day this Franchise will be brought back.

Ahh this theme is the embodiment of revenge....in any era! Timeless classic.

This is the best game series there ever existed. Period.

I just listened to this song 5 times in a row, I got nostalgic chills every time. BRING BACK SOUL REAVER!!!!

I love this theme. I close my eyes and I feel a super hero like energy. I know you Raziel. You are worthy!

Nostalgia total, hasta el día de hoy sigue siendo mi juego favorito, escuchar nuevamente la música es lo mejor

Que Nostalgia me da... Juegazo de ps1 y ps2, que tiempos :,)

This is my favorite game series

Been playing games for over 25 years, and this game had one of the most absolute, intense, epic intros ever. I don't even think I blinked watching this intro. Damn this music takes me back to my old buddy Dreamcast.

Thank you for having this. I was young when my mother, who loved the legacy of kain series and got this one. I had to help her a lot. I fell in love with the character Raziel. Turns out years and years later we would be planning a co-op with the game Defiance.

This brings back so manw memory's

Possibly one of the most epic soundtracks in existence!!! =D

when games were masterpieces!

love this game series from my childhood, 2 thumbs up!!

Amazing Soundtrack, EPIC.

love those games

The protagonist of Soul Reaver is the vampire-turned-ghost called Raziel, whom Kain murders at the start of the game. While Kain is the protagonist of the previous game, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, in this installment is the main antagonist. The Greater God resurrects and guides Raziel, explaining the controls of the game, and describes the events prior to the story.5 Ariel, who preceded Kain as guardian of the Pillar of Balance, appears as a spirit and offers advice to the player. During his search, Raziel meets his brothers - Melchiah, Zephon, Rahab and Dumah - who serve as bosses in the game. Each one has developed unique abilities, which are partially absorbed, when Raziel murders them and devours their souls. A fifth brother, Turel, was omitted due to limitations in the development time.

hell of a theme!

I can hear a ton of whipping, screaming, and a creature whimpering in the background

che ricordi questo gioco, ci giocavo quando ancora avevo la ps1 e ancora ci gioco con la ps2, proprió un bel gioco :D

Name of the song is Ozar Midrashim by Information Society if anyone wants the actual info.

In Kain we trust

And I read this with Raziel's voice in my head.

I love this theme reminds me of the good old days.

Everytime I listened to this masterpiece I fell like I am in another world. Truly this is not just Raziel's main theme but the soul of Nosgoth itself. Yeah I agree with mcspoons on a prequel of Soul Reaver were Raziel is still a Vampire with a new storyline before Raziel's encounter with the Elde God...and do I hear a silent guitar strings? Awesome! I want to hear about Raziel's years as a Vampire, his clan and his fledglings.

Someone reboot this!!!!

The epic part begins at 2:32 It's damn beautiful :'D

best game soundtrack i've ever heard. this won more awards than the metal gear sound track

The best history for the best game ever made. (l)

2019 show some love for the legend

the songs from all legacy of kain series are just brilliant!(espcially from blood omen 1)

Thank you for taking the time to upload a high quality track! Fun memories and it’s a badass track ✊🏼

I'm serious the script of this game was very well written, it should have been a book

I love this song, the synth just sounds so beautiful with the percussion

You earned a sub if anything for the sheer nostalgia of this tune... cheers Paul

This is the best upload of this song I've found! Thanks!

I'm always in awe whenever I hear this.

Thanks for great upload !!

I was VERY young, about 2 when these games came out and I started the series when I was 5, then finished defiance when I was 12.

The Best game soundtrack EVER!!!!

The name of this piece of music is "Ozar Midrashim". Of course, you can find it named "Soul Reaver intro", "Soul Reaver theme" or "Raziel theme", but it's still called "Ozar Midrashim"...

It is a masterpiece of game design. Of which is not seen nowadays...

Soul Reaver and Raziel's clan theme song. The name of this song is "Ozar Midrashim" by The Information Society. FYI for those who didn't know.

This is the most underrated game ever. I really wish it was more popular... :(

great series, this is one of my favorite games next to metal gear solid. Both legacy of kain and metal gear solid both have storylines that make u wanna play the game to see what happens next in the story. Legacy of kain and metal gear solid are tied for my top 2 game series, thumbs up if u agree that this series is amazing?

Thanks for the send! Good one!!

God I wish they would give this game the HD remake id deserves....

I know people, loyal fans of the series are in a state of limbo at the moment. But, don't fret, folks, soon our favorite and true Vampire saga will return. I heard from the Eidos CEO that he is interested in bringing the series for current next generation consoles, the PS3 and X360. All the installments in this wonderful, underrated series were masterpieces in their own respects, yet the gaming critics bashed it with their ego; this series will make an awesome anime series, expanding its story.

This easily beats any new generation game

The best theme I ever heard for a vampire game. This is definately at the top with Symphony of the Night.

The forgotten underrated Vampire that has never had a feature. Its sad.

To be honest, I think Raziel is one of the most powerful vampiric beings i've ever witnessed. He possesses the Soul Reaver, an ancient and powerful weapon of spiritual power that can kill almost any creature, alive or undead, can suck the souls of beings giving him a darker hunger, thanks to Rahab can swim on water and he evolved further thanks to Kain and the list just goes on and on and on. he truly is a powerful vampire

Thanks!

love his music theme!

para mi es el mejor juego de la historia, marco una etapa importante en mi infancia sobre todo la historia, a pesar de que el 1 y el 2 tiene graficos un poco malos y el ultimo pasables la historia es la mejor de los juegos, es muy confusa por que uno piensa que es algo que no es jaja

a soundtrack made more than 10 years ago...is still better than most soundtracks out there....this is the meaning of "epic"....one of the best games i have ever played too...damn i hope they chose to revive the soul reaver series....

damn memories of best moments

🔥🗡️Raziel you are worthy. You will be my reaver of souls. 🔥🗡️

Kain is deified. The Clans tell tales of Him. Few know the truth. He was mortal once, as were we all. However, His contempt for humanity drove him to create me, and my brethren.

@mulletwesker because of first games from these series :] they were called Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Kain is the main character in the history of Nosgoth itself, the Balance Guardian ( well main from the point player's point of view ;) ) and main object are the Pillars ( The Pillars of Nosgoth was the first concept of game name ) and besides, Kain awoke Raziel as a vampire from his saraphan tomb, and his brothers also ;]

Brilliant song for a great legacy.

The Legacy of Kain shall exist for eternity

10 years since I played LoK series, and i still fucking loving this theme

Thanks, glad you liked it. :)

On March 20, 2012, a source told VG247 that Crystal Dynamics is returning to the Legacy of Kain franchise with a Soul Reaver reboot. Details concerning the project are thin, but the source said the title is a "full reworking" of the game and includes new art direction. God of War II director Cory Barlog joined Crystal Dynamics to work on a yet to be announced title.

bringing myself old memorys of this perfect game in 2013

2:31 the best ! ;)

Masterpiece

awesome soundtrack!

i listen to this in 2012 and now in 2013 and if is here i should probably keep listening to it.

This music... Some of the best of it's time. This is the background music to my next extraction set piece for DnD. "Team, 4 minutes till extract. We have to hold them off!" Man, what a rush!

One of the best series in all of gaming

haaaaa memories...!!!! I still play this game on ps1 sometimes :'- )

LoK series is definitely one of the best series of all time.

Why not? LoK is still one of the best storylines in videogame history. As all great ones, its far older than any games that are just decent. Geez I've grow up on LoK games, these are some masterpieces of grotesque epicness. And why is is so great? All the warped iconic elements, defying blatant philospohies and morals. And of course, the characters. Kain and Raziel are the bad boys trying to put everything where it belongs. Paradoxes ensue ;) Cheers loyal fans ;)

That day has not come soon enough...

If Vigil Games and Crystal Dynamics combined their work force to a next Legacy of Kain I would be the happiest man in the world .

Pure poetry.

обожаю его)) это мое детство........

to the ringtone!

i miss this game.

Without a doubt the darkest game ever. With all the vampires, zombies, 2 worlds and all the buildings. Add to this on of the most stunning puzzles ever made and you have a recipe to make one of he best games in the history. Still waiting for Soul Reaver 3 and now after playing new Tomb Raider this idea is not that stupid because they can make a game which will bring all the best things from previous parts and even will add more.

Kain ist halt einfach in allen Angelegenheiten ne geile Sau.^^

imagine if a sequel or remake starts like this, it would have serious goosebumps: 00:28

Still love this theme

This is the Legacy of Kain series, Kain has not died yet so there is no reason to stop making these games. Although, I would love to see a game about other places Raziel went in the time stream that took place between Soul Reaver 1 & 2. Does anyone agree?

yes it is, im stating about that point of time it was kain's heart when raziel took it from him. it was originally taken from janos

Amazing classic, if you were alive and young during these days it was rad

Omfg man, u're so right! I soooo loved raziels voice, so dead and dramatic at the same time!
