Where you hear it

bc_main_theme.mp3 played on the Burning Crusade login screen. The expansion opened the Dark Portal to Outland, and the music shifted to darker, fel-tinged colours. Choir and percussion carry its main motif. Fans of TBC often name it as their favourite login theme. Classic's TBC servers brought it back for a second run.
