Wolfenstein 3D Soundtrack 

I remember in high-school, we were watching a documentary about the rise of the nazi party and in the film a few seconds of horst weisel played. Immediately after a handful of us started humming "wondering about my loved ones " to ourselves. Some really surprised looks around the classroom resulted.

Wait ... that's how I knew the Horst Wessel Lied ! The first time I hear it for real on a documentary as a kid I thought "Wait. How do I know what the Nazi anthem sounds like ?" Never made the connection.

2:05 is amazing, I used to let the game run on the menu just to hear this song on loop

Rated PC-13 for Profound Carnage.

4:35 - Get Psyched!

For as long as I can remember I have loved this game and its music, but knowing the names of the songs gave them a more emotional quality. “Wondering about my Loved Ones” implying BJ misses his family made the song much more sad, but also more enjoyable to me. This game is a classic.

4:35 8 bullets, 1 knife, and only one way out of Castle Wolfenstein

P.O.W!!!! THIS IS IT! My FAVE track from Wolfenstien 3D... :D If you pay attention, you can hear bits of the songs from all four main branches of the military on it. 1. Marine Corps Hymn (Halls of Montezuma) 2. Army Song (The Army Goes Marching Along) 3. Navy Hymn (Anchors Aweigh) 4. Air Force Song (The Wild Blue Yonder) Interesting fact for you guys... :)

I have been humming the Horst Wessel Lied for many years at school without knowing its origin. ;w;

18:21 still gives me chills all these years later

The Nazi Rap just has me imagining a bunch of Nazis rapping to the backdrop of late 90's New York before BJ just slowly backs away because that room is just too weird for him

49:22 Damn... listen it with headphones Eargasm alert

20:33 Nazi Anthem is a pretty neat adaptation of the Horst-Wessel-Lied (first song and a real Nazi march)

Wolfenstein 3D - Revolutionized the early FPS game Return To Castle Wolfenstein - Revolutionized the early modern military FPS game

Holy crap, this game has an hour long soundtrack. Never thought about that.

43:30 is my favorite soundtrack

The other version of the Horst-Wessel-Lied in this game is much scarier to me. The high pitched and empty sounding instrumentation and the change from major to minor is enough to get me proper psyched.

4:35 we all came for this

1992. 12 yrs old. My friend’s house. 7 PM TIL 1 or 2 am. His parents bedroom was far away. They didn’t care that we ate the chips and drank all the soda. Now I’m quarantined with two infants. Life was good in 1992 lol. Still is ;)

The good days of playing this game when I was younger

11:56 This is the one that's been stuck in my head for like....25 years or more! Pretty sure this was also used in a level or two of Spear of Destiny. It set the perfect ambience for those creepy silent zombies as I recall.

9:35 was my jam

It's funny. The track at 9:35 (P.O.W.) really made you feel that you should hurry in the game. Now I analyze it (later as an adult) I notice the sound in the background at 11:00. Sounds like a ticking clock. And also it seems to be on 120 / 60 bpm (I watched the windows clock tick perfectly with the beat). Amazing.

I had no idea Robert Prince was behind this. He's so good!

49:21 funk you is by far the masterpiece, it's the one I remember the most from my childhood too. Weird that it's such a different tune than the others too... Have a funky day!

P.O.W. is a mish-mash of the US Marines/Navy & Air Force anthems. Learned that by watching The Right Stuff as a kid.

The March to War just brings back memories of running, hiding, and generally being scared shitless from Mecha Hitler.

My first FPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:35 is like e1m1 but from wolfenstein xD

Awesome, thanks for uploading!

Enemy Around the Corner is such a great song. Sounds like a film score for a classic late 60s WW2 movie.

I should've asked more questions as a kid. Like why the nazis were obsessed with cyan colored doors and deep blue walls.

I think back in the day, Seeing this title screen you would think it is some CG bullshit but "Surprise Surprise", it is ACTUAL in-game footage!

This is like the only place that has the original IMF sound and not the midi renditions of the tunes. Thank you!

In 4th grade a friend introduced me to this game by completing the boss fight with Hitler while I watched. Hitler's death was instantaneously the most violent thing I had ever seen in my life by a giant magnitude, I almost threw up. In hindsight I sort of miss that innocence.

22:38 It always keeps me motivated to play and speedrun this game. "Lurking..." I love it.

2:05 9:35 Those two tracks take me back nearly 30 years And of course 4:35 as well. I'll never be tired of this game or the music.

This brings back memories. I bought a Sound Blaster card just to play this game.

I forgot to turn off this game on my grandfathers laptop, he went to the library to use his laptop there and when he opened the laptop the intro music (Horst Wessel lied) started playing really loud, everyone was staring at him. He tried turning off the laptop but the music was still stuck , he had to dissasemble the battery from the laptop and try apologizing to people around him.

I finally had a chance to play Wolfenstein 3D (the Xbox Live Arcade version), and I like it. It's difficult, but fun, and for this game, that's a good thing.

Wow, this really brings back the memories... Back in the day, I played this game until I defeated it (escaped), and I wasn't even a gamer (but I was hooked on this one). Good times...

'Wondering About My Loved Ones' has (as the kids say) lived rent-free in my head since probably about 1993.

This soundtrack is great. It is accurate and kills it with very few wasted notes.

Well i adore Doom 1 and 2 soundtrack they are so cool. And this is really classy. My absolute favorite is 28:03 holy lord that sounds so good

Jesus, this takes me back

After so many years I was surprised to learn what the title music actually was.

Achtung!

wondering about my loved ones is the song that reminds me of this game the most

P.O.W Lurking and Pounding Headache are my favourites ;D

35:28 *does the Snoop dance in an SS uniform*

I like how Bobby Prince evolved the melody from 30:12 Into the Dungeons to Doom's E2M2 Demons from Adrian's Pen (about halfway through) there's a lot of touches like that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3HZEF6Ujsl0.html

wolfenstein, the grand daddy of all first person shooters

Thanx! :)

A timeless soundtrack.

This is a EXCELLENT hardware rip.

you know considering robert prince was behind this, doom 1 and 2, and some things that 3d realms worked on (don't know how much) but either way with how much he compsed it was truly amazing how many good midi tracks are out there

I came here for the intro and intermission tunes, the entire soundtrack turned out to be 10/10 even with the technology available at the time.

15:51 Me trying to act patriotic for when my war vet granddad visits

Hold the letter M on the keyboard at the statup of the game and up comes a selection of tunes made for the game, i always chose the Horst Wessel Leid tune since it has such an amazing melody

Schutzstaffel!...MEIN LEBEN!

Spion!

The main theme song is so amazing. Need to learn this shizzle.

I love all this soundtrack and this game ;))))

My first game with sound card... Ah, memories ♥

ACHTUNG! GUTEN TAG! MEIN LABEN!!! SPION! AIEEE!!!! Auf Weidersein.... This... game... is... EPIIIIIC!!!!!! :D :D :D

"the march to war" is the best.

2:05 is the real hero here.

this is an amazing tune

30:13 sounds like an early version of "The Demons From Adrian's Pen" in Doom

09:35 Legend

And I’d like to remind you that this was the foundation of Doom 1993.

This is good music to run distance races/long runs to or study with!

I still remember playing wolf 3d game during summer holidays when I was small

First time I heard Enemy Around the Corner was a Final Fantasy game on this online site called Byond. You heard it if you attacked guards or other players, being sentenced to a location simply known as the cube. I heard the song again on a countdown for stupid conversational moments which referenced this game. So, this is where DA KYUUUB came from.

I think the track that comes before End of Level is really good. It sounds almost like Blake Stone

Pounding Headache helped my pounding headache actually.

My graphics card can handle gigabytes of data per second. And I spent all night playing game that fits on a single floppy disk...

My great grandfather saw this game before he died, he lived through world War 2, this game must have really spoke to him. He used to have an old vynal record of the first menu music and even had a bunch of pictures of him at cons with guys dressed like the enemies and final boss. He died peacfully at the ripe old age of 99 in his villa in Argentina.

Just replayed this game. Lovethe musix

"Lurking" is my fave...

18:21 sounds so creepy, imagine being on a long dark hallway with this song.

"Into the dungeons" was my favorite! And it sounds like DOOM (by the way, "zero hour" and "suspence" too, while "enemy around the corner" sounds like "hellriser" ;))

Wolfenstein 3d. The Godfather of first person shooters and original Nazi killers. Also, look up Spear of Destiny. The original first person shooter add on....

Agree with +Megaandy12 and +Doddo Multigamer, the sound is slightly distorded in Pounding Headache for instance. This is obvious when you hear it on other channels on youtube. But I like this version and this OST very much! Thanks!!

GUTEN TAG!

When I was younger I thought Horst-Wessel-Lied was an original song. I can remember being shocked when I found out it wasn't composed by Robert Prince. The march to war is basically a medley of various Patriotic anthems including Yankee Doodle/Yankee Doodle Boy, Dixie's land, Your a grand old flag?, Taps and even a bit of Horst-Wessel-Lied before ending with God save the king/God bless our native land. Part of Victory March is also based on a hymn called Guide me O Thou. And Funk You is reminiscent of Black is black by Los Bravos. Funnily enough with the exception of Funk You The March to war and Victory march are 2 examples of my least favorite songs in the game, I prefer the more creepy and atmospheric tracks like Suspense, Into the dungeons and Twelfth hour. And Nazi Anthem is another remix of Horst-Wessel-Lied. I sort of prefer Spear Of Destiny's music selection.

Fun fact: When I played this as a child back in the 90s, I actually thought the SS Officers were saying “Shoe Shuffle” upon seeing me. I don’t know why, but that memory always brings a big smile to my face. 😁

Can't wait to get this game :D

Pounding Headache helped my pounding headache

An absolute classic

Horst Wessel Lied and Nazi Anthem are the songs from Wolfenstein I will always remember.

4:35 is the song that plays in The New Order when you start the Nightmare prompt near B.J's bed.

Horst-Wessel lied! So much yesss!!!1 I wish I could show that pic and this game to the very people who had to endure that awful song (and all it stood for) so many times - revenge!

Awesome video I finished all Wolfenstein 3d episodes got 100% for Gameboy Advance I dont own Gameboy Advance anymore.

I was really young when I first played this and had no idea at the time that the title theme was the Nazi anthem. I loved the music for this game.

Great game and music

Brings back childhood memories!! I used to rush home from middle school to play this game. Remember the cheat code?! ILM!

Some of the best soundtracks from video games came from the era before we could use digitized samples widely throughout music in games due to limitations of hardware or storage space for the ROM. This is one of the earliest games in my memory where I could imagine what the same tracks would sound like if performed live. It helped greatly with immersion like you wouldn't believe back in those days.

Some of the tracks seem to strike me as possibly themes for the different enemies. To me at least, "Get Them Before They Get You" always struck me as being the theme for the guards, "Twelfth Hour" seems to be the theme for the S.S. guys and "Zero Hour" (due to its speed and energetic feel) seems to be the theme for those fast-as-hell officers. As for those zombie guys with the pistols on their chests, "Enemy Around The Corner" might be a good theme for them since you simply never know when one will pop up.

Wondering About My Loved Ones and Get Them Before They Get You are BRILLIANT.
