The Namalsk soundtrack will forever hold a special place in my heart. It fits SO well with the atmosphere of the map. Those long unforgiving nights huddled by a camp fire, with people you’ve just met minutes ago, sharing stories of past lives. Begging to know the difference between friend or foe. The quiet times down in A2, wondering if it was your steps you’ve heard, or someone else’s? The children mocking you as you hobble your way to the nearest house, not knowing if you’ll make it in time, the endless ticking clock of life or death. Namalsk was the map that made me genuinely excited to play DayZ every day. It’s a place that I can return to no matter the day, knowing that the map, music and game will bring me back to a better time. While I’ve never been to A3, or any of the rather new stuff to Namalsk yet. It will forever be my favorite map. Thank you Sumrak.

MAIN menu theme gives me goosebumps

My first experience with Namalsk, I spawned in at night, and quickly found myself lost and freezing to death. I accepted my fate and decided to just wait for the end. Looked up and the Northern Lights were going, and "Aurora Borealis" started playing. I actually felt a twinge of emotion as my character faded away, under the stars. It was a great moment for me and a perfect intro to Namalsk.

I recently played on a namalsk RP server. I met a man called ‘Jacob’ on the beach and he was dying of thirst. We jogged along the beach together trying to make it to lubjansk to get him water, that was until his jogging became a hobble and eventually he couldn’t go any further and he died infront of me. The moment he died 18:00 Coast started playing as I looked out onto the vast empty ocean. It was honestly a profound gaming moment. Thank you.

The solitude, the harsh coldness, hostiles and betrayal everywhere. And this music in the background. Namalsk might be one of the most intense gaming experiences ever.

The Map, the music, the atmosphere... everything is so well done. It revived DayZ fore me! Big thanks for everyone who worked on this map. I appreciate every detail alot!!!

Nice.

I love that although DayZ is regarded as one of the most toxic communities in all of gaming, in reality, for the most part the players actually get along quite well when there's less risk involved. When the two sides aren't constantly on the verge of getting killed. I remember playing a game (not on namalsk sadly, but Cherno) and fighting a literal war, being made one of the Generals in said war, and it got so bad we got featured in a youtube video about the darkest stories within DayZ servers (the war was over cannibals taking over the server and hunting Bambis, a few bambis including myself formed a resistance and it evolved into all out war, there was also a mod that allowed us to hand bodies ornately and stuff, so we did that to try and scare the enemies. War took about 5 months, ended in my side winning with the cannibals being hunted to such a point that they could barely spawn before they got hunted. They agreed to back down and yeah. After the war ended, my faction (the Chernarussian Free Army) pretty much holed up in Tisy and occaisionally sent patrols out to Green mountain and NWAF along with the smaller North East Airport. I ended up leaving and creating a new faction called "The Order of New Canaan" basically a Christian/Mormon group of missionaries who roleplayed by traveling the map, providing food and medicine to people in need while also preaching and spreading the gospel. About a year after the war had started, I was standing on a cliff (I believe in the north east of the map) with a fireplace, warming up and staring out at the sunset. Suddenly, a player came and sat across from me. He told me his name and I recognized him as one of the old cannibal leaders I had fought and killed multiple times (he had killed me a handful of times as well). He told me he still played on this server usually. Just keeping to himself and living in the woods. It was interesting how by the end of the conversation, this guy who I had genuinely hated for months, and then thought I'd never speak to again ended up being just a normal guy. By the end of our conversation, the sun was rising again and he said he had to go meet with some people, but he was glad he got to talk to me. Before he left we shook hands and told eachother the past was the past and if I or he ever needed something, I could just come to that section of the woods again or he could radio to ask where the missionary was. Truly an experience I'll never forget. People are people, our violence is just a product of our circumstance, and DayZ has taught me that better than any book or philosopher.

Sumrak, you overdid yourself. Your mod is what DayZ should have been like from the beginning. I started today and just couldn't stop, the nostalgia from the Arma2 mod was just too much, it was just like back in the days. The ambiente while you struggle to survive ist unbelievable. I nearly froze to death and was just about trying to safe my life in a container. Suddenly I hear distant children playing, and something that sounded like something barefoot is dancing around next to me. Gave me the creeps

I love the detail (if intended) of creaky, rusty minecarts on rails being heard in the "Sebjan" track, really adds to the atmosphere.

"Coast (Day)" is Iconic

This is the most atmospheric soundtrack i ever witnessed in a game.. Holy SHIT it is sooo good.

Man, Coast day might be the most relaxing and yet somehow... "disturbing" music in a game

The simple fact that Namalsk has in game ambience adds soo much to the expirience, one of my fav maps so far

Coast (Day) is what made me look this soundtrack up. Adds so much to the game.

Vorkuta is a real place and i found myself walking in buildings that I'd already been in.. and wow did i then realize how well this soundtrack truly captured the haunting essence of that place. There is good urban exploration videos of it. Phenomenal job on this!

Namalsk wouldnt feel the same without this

This might be my first comment on a youtube video, but if anything deserves it, it's this. Namalsk was the first map I ever played on Dayz. What a heck of a way to be introduced to the Dayz world. Over a year later and Namalsk is still my favorite map. Nothing better than playing Namalsk on a hardcore server. Sitting in the dark by a fire, seeing the awesome sky as you wander to the outpost, and the music subtlely playing in the background. Sumrak and Daniel, you made a masterpiece.

Soundtrack seems to be essential for this game! Thank you, Daniel Staff 👍🏻

Every single one of these tracks fit so well to there respective scenes and locations. To put it into a single word, Beautiful.

The music is so perfect for the setting

Banger Soundtrack for DayZ’s best map. 5 years from now I’ll look back on Namalsk and this will be what I remember the most. The soundtrack MAKES the experience.

one of the greatest soundtracks for one of the best games of all time. BRAVO

coast is such a good track

Came here for main menu theme. I was rolling with 2 people that we met ingame and all had stories to tell, stuck together for about 2 hours, some shit went down, the server restarts and this fucking songs kicks in... I sat back in my chair and take a deep breath.

Coast (Day) is so soothing and just relaxing to listen to.

Haven't had that much fun with DayZ for ages. Thanks for this amazing map and the great soundtrack. I could just walk around and explore for hours, pure atmosphere.

Just recently started playing Dayz on PS5. Already put an insane amount of hours into the game, but this map is making me wanting to buy a PC. I really NEED to play this map someday. The atmosphere, the music, real survival. Oh yes.

Sumrak, you are an absolute legend. Thank you for adding to the experiences of so many.

I have 2k hours on DayZ console and 5k hours on modded pc. I watched some old clips of me playing on Namalsk and the nostalgia hit me like a truck... Thanks for uploading this

Gosh, man, I waited this so long, this place, where my "Arma story" has started in 2014, not from Chernarus, but from YOUR island, your world. This atmosphere, ideas, everything was delightful and frightening for the brain of a boy from school))) Thanks to a man like John Zerocool who once lured me into your world. Thank you too for not leaving your brainchild. I am glad that I can see the old world of my childhood in a new shell. Thanks for your hard work.

This is incredible meditation music!!!

The unspoken rule of sharing the campfire/chimney to warm up and unfroze the food

"Night" is like something out of Silent Hill 2 and I think that is the biggest compliment you could give for the aesthetic you guys went for

Polar Day hits different

This music has added to my experience of playing Namalsk so significantly, I find it difficult to express how much - so I'll simply say thank you!

Bubson, i have really picky music taste developed over last 30 years of listening music and playing for 2 decades, and i love good sountracks. this is one of the most immersive and atmospheric soundtracks ive ever heard, hats off to you.

You do feel really alone and vulnerable when the music starts playing, its really sad. Amazing work!

Coast (Day) - chills

Awesome. I have been playing with the music on for along time now. It adds soo much to the ambiance and fear within the game.

Every time i do some project and pc work i listen to this,. Sumrak & all DayZ developers, you probably won't read this, but every time I play DayZ which is the only game i play on console I hope to one day play Namalsk... :)

One of my all time favorite soundtracks! I love falling asleep to it ❄️

Amazing audio work, super impressed, well done. Why cant original dayZ have a dope ass soundtrack!!

Y IS THIS SO GOOD. i listen to this on the regular

Went from playing namalsk every day off my life from the dayz mod on arma 2 - standalone. Too then making my own server on dayz and doing both was just a blast honestly. The enjoyment working with namalsk is just as incredible as playing it. Well Played on namalsk.. A map nobody will forget

Namalsk is amazing, the soundtrack is amazing. This is the map that really made me love the standalone.

Console needs this map so bad rn

thoses screenshots are gorgeous, can't wait to see them places ingame, cheers!

I used to play DayZ Mod: Namalsk back in 2012 to 2015 when I was 12-15. Good old days.. I met a old man who grew old with me, we want to play DayZ Namalsk together nowadays. Feels good!

I love the vorkuta day music. It makes me think what life in this city looked like before the apocalypse

beautiful!

One of the best maps. The laugh & giggle of the children sends a chill down my spine...and the distant sounding of the EVR storm gets my adrenaline going. Best ever!!

This soundtrack is literal perfection. Namalsk should be an official map, everything about it IS DayZ to me.

Awesome map, awesome sounds, awesome game. Thanks a lot !

I just listen to this I never even played the damn game!

First PvP was Namalsk I had literally 200 hours in cherno and Liv. Namalsk brought me 7k hours. Love the work and the music is just sublime. I even learnt the music time to the in game time

Can't believe this was made for a mod. It's done so well.

Fantastic atmospheric music for when your traveling Namalsk on your own.

The soundtrack blends in so well with the game. And the main menu music is just amazing

Masterpiece

Morning is pretty good it gives me nostalgic vibes

breathtaking

Some tracks here are really nice, idk why but I was walking and one of them song came up, tears went to my eyes, I dont know why XD

This soundtrack is really relaxing, I love it. It fits the map perfectly, and I have always and will always enjoy playing Namalsk! Thanks for making awesome content!

THIS is everything I love about DayZ - the music, the atmosphere, the map. This expansion has been the greatest thing about DayZ for me.

Fckng grammy for thi masterpiece... When I go to Dayz I take this

Namalsk is the best in my opinion. The feeling of playing on the map is oddly satisfying. The score along with setting is so melancholy. I wonder how it got to that level of detail. Exploring Namalsk alone and imagining how it used to be, what they did there, everything inevitably abandoned and hideous.

Special thanks to those who wrote this music! She directly tunes in to flashbacks from the times of ArmA 2. I listen with goosebumps. A certain cinematic is directly embedded in front of my eyes, each melody seems to personify its place in the world of DayZ. It is difficult to find words to admire the powers that have been applied. I hope that the Sumrak team also admires and puts their whole soul into this world. In Russian, one by one, another game had a series of videos called "Blast from the Past". It told about the old days, about what no longer exists, how everything has changed over time. The video turned out to be carrying nostalgia for the past. And I would like to see a similar video once, at least about what the world was like before, and what it has become now. To admire the history of Namalsk once again.

What an incredible soundtrack. Morning is my favourite. I love this map and its atmosphere ❤️

Bro i live in this game dayz its all i have

Daniel Staff your a legend!

Bubson, thank you for such an amazing soundtrack! It genuinely adds to the immersion of Namalsk.

Dude, yes. Just. Yes. Great job! Edit: The stereo effects in the soundtrack are also really impressive, this represents some serious time

Think the afternoon sound is pretty good. Gives a sense of loneliness

Shoutout to all the friendlies, if it's just a neat story or a neat trick to last a little bit longer. Salute to the friendlies that never came back~

There's nothing that compares to the terrors of Namalsk. Once you witness it, you don't forget.

Sumrak you’ve done an incredible job with namalsk. Crazy good.

Coast (Day) is my favorite

sounds good! some parts kind of remind me of blade runner 2049

Man i love Namalsk and the soundtrack to go with the time of day and locations etc.

This soundtrack really add something to the map, incredible work. Well done to both of you.

Vorkuta (day) is so scary!!!!

The soundtrack makes me feel like I’m playing fallout three

You reignited my love for DayZ, thank you NamalskSurvivor

goosebumps generator online!

Fantastic! This is huge!

Actually great study music. Can't wait to play Namalsk on the 4th!!!

Oh, and forgot something. As a wish. Easter eggs! I would be very glad to see any references to the past of Arma. Yes, the release is close, I just pour out my hope that you have not missed such a detail))))

Hi I really love the Namalsk Soundtrack it's really well done. some of it is very reminiscent of Nick Cave's Soundtrack material (The Proposition, The Assassination of Jesse James, The Road, etc) and a little bit of "Einstürzende Neubauten" the track "Afternoon" sounds reminiscent of something from "And The Ass Saw The Angel" Soundtrack Idk If Nick was an influence/inspiration on Daniel "Bubsonor" Staff or if he even knows who Nick Cave is, but hopefully he will take that as a huge complement 👏😎 Best Wishes 🙂

The main menu definetly deep good job

i have tears in my eyes

Amazing. Thank you for everything Namalsk is a beauty.

i fucking love this, iam so excited! 3.12.!!!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I love this.

Your map (and its choice of soundtrack) is exquisite. I think you have the talent to collaborate the required components to create the ultimate survival game. The problem with Dayz in itself is it is buggy when you combine all the elements which could take it truly stratospheric ie. atmospheric soundscapes, uncomplicated base building (as shown can be done in games like Rust), realism and modelling like Escape from Tarkov and vehicles/aircraft that don't have to be added on as a mod. Some day a game like that will be created. I think you could be the man for the job! :)

It is a beautiful place, I love the sound of the wind as it whistles through the trees, the flakes of snow falling on my face, the crisp air, everybody is just trying to survive, so many atrocities have been committed here, so many lost souls.

masterpiece

Великолепная музыка, то что нужно на весьма таинственную карту Намальск

Namalsk in my heart forever and ever. Since Arma 2: DayZ mod and now in DayZ: SA.

Great tracks for the map! Can't wait to see it
