@Thorvald: Spooped that's a new one I have never heard of before, still I am super glad you enjoyed the track and yes I threw everything at this track to make it at atmospheric as heck to make it stand out against anything you might hear this Halloween. I played a LOT of Diablo 2 Ressurected to make sure I got the music just right before I flew into full production mode. The guitar sounds were the trickiest but with a little playing around I was able to nail that etherial nightmarish sound that Diablo was so well known for, the percussion instruments and woodwinds were also addede and I emphasized the low strings to great effect but so they were not drowning out the rest of the track I kept the low frequency on high setting so that the strings became more background then foreground.
The idea was to create what I lovingly call a OCPS something I become infamous for back when I was making them with Dark Kitsunes, OCPS means Original Cinematic Picture Score where I create a track and blend in sound effects to create a movie like experience taking my audience into another world that feels alive and the music just ads to the overal ambience. The final result is a movie without pictures only using sounds and music to guide the listener allowing them to come up with stories in their own heads, I am just a guide nothing more letting everyone's imagination run wild.

Consider me properly sp00ped.
I spectated Diablo once or twice but I haven't played it myself so I can't speak to the OST, but even standalone this is one hell (*cough*) of a horror medley. I don't know if it's improved instrumentation or the reverb smoothing over the different sections, but this legit sounds like something played by a live orchestra. No wonder you were excited for this one: the hype is real.
