Scott Lloyd Shelly – Terraria Underground Jungle Theme

The song begins by immediately setting tension through temple vibes and sounds you would hear in a jungle, fitting the purpose. This eventually winds down by getting less mysterious and more funky and groovy, but still maintaining that bit of mystery and uncertainty.

(While the video has been posted by some random dude the original composer is Scott Lloyd Shelly)
