Subject: What music do Noise Marine sonic weapons use?
In my conversations there seem to be two schools of thought - that Noise Marine sonic weapons play either heavy metal, or dubstep. What are your thoughts?

Or this? -

I'll have to think about it, but I'm pretty sure it would be neither dubstep nor kiddy metal.
Perhaps something classic and classy like Deep Purple; if nothing else it would provide the opportunity to model a Noise Marine with a (hur hur) enormous organ.

"The Imperium is nothing if not willing to go to any lengths necessary. So the Trekkies are zipping around at warp speed taking small chucks out of an nigh-on infinite amount of ships, with the Imperium being unable to strike back. feth it, says central command, and detonates every vortex warhead in the fleet, plunging the entire sector into the Warp.

Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

This has gone rapidly off-topic. Lol.
@English Assassin, why the hate for progressive metal? "Kiddy metal"? Thay's a bit harsh, don't you think?
I'm not sure how classical music would work unless it pumped WAY up, cuz they require loud volume more than actual musical value (hence the dubstep).

Skip to 0:40 and crank up the volume. You can't tell me that a Blastmaster thundering out "The Great Gate of Kiev" with a few sonic blasters backing it up wouldn't explode a few heads. And the gentler passages are used to lull their enemies into a false sense of security before. . . . BOOOOM.

I would imagine something like dubstep that doesn't so much sound like music as much as a constant barrage of extremely high and low notes to try to liquefy the enemies brains.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

In all seriousness, the way that the fluff describes it, it sounds like the noises they use are things like frequency sweeps, pink noise, and all those other goodies that you use to burn in headphones and the like. Rock music played loudly is nothing special. It's just loud music. Using a frequency sweep to find and exploit the resonant frequency of a land raider and shatter it to pieces, on the other hand, is something different entirely.
In all seriousness, I believe that Noise Marines do not possess any melody when they perform their "music", I just think of their sonic weapons will sound like this...only 300 times louder.
