So I have recently started making a dark, fire-themed campaign and was wondering if anyone had some good background music for both traveling and combat.
Already found the diablo music. Any help would be appreciated :)
It depends on the tone and flavor of campaign you are running, but I use a lot of bardcore off youtube. Folks make covers of modern music with medieval instruments or synthesized medieval instruments. Sometimes they add pseudo-medieval lyrics or even translate lyrics into period specific languages. You haven't really heard Led Zeppelin till you've heard it in Old Norse. I use it in my own campaign and as a player to annoy my fellow players when my bard casts concentration spells. Just search bardcore on youtube and you'll get tons. I find it all incredibly amusing.
Stary Olsa does some really nice professional barcore covers.
Another option more along the lines of the Diablo soundtrack would be Alina Gingertail. She does a similar thing, but uses authentic instruments and focuses on music from TV and video games. Beautiful voice.
I'm sure there is a world of more authentic stuff out there if that's what you're after, but I tend to focus on the anachronistic stuff.
Have you tried Syrinscape.com? It has pretty much everything you could ever want :) You can try the free version or grab yourself a 30 day free trial and get access to multiple libraries of sounds and music and the ability to customise stuff, including importing your own music.

I started downloading music cause my net kept lagging when I used spotify... hope this helps :)

Lord of the Rings Online has lots of great music.
Example combat music
Example suspense music
Example travel music (a bit suspenseful because you want a dark theme)
Example travel music (a bit more chipper)
Check out Spotify Album - Kingslayer Originals. My DM just used some of these tracks for a one-shot. I thought they were great.
If you have spotify on the phone, there is an option to download songs if they are on your playlist to avoid lag in the future.
