It would seem that a majority of songs in the 40K universe are based around a very gothic and orchestrated tone both in lyrics and in sound.

However, given the background of each individual race being encompassed by a theme, what mainstream songs would fit a montage dedicated to each individual race?

feel free to attached links to youtube videos so we can all hear your opinions

Space Marines (Vanilla)- Indestructible, by Disturbed

Grey Knights, Witch-hunters- Hell, by Disturbed

Dark Eldar- Count Bodies like Sheep, by A perfect Circle

Tau- The Humbling River, by Puscifer

Necrons- Psychosocial, by Slipknot

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.

'She sat on the corner, gulping the soup down, uncaring of the heat of it. They had grown more watery as of late she noted, but she wasn't about to beggar food from the Imperials or the "Bearers of the Word." Tau, despite their faults at least didn't have a kill policy for her race.'

Static X - Push it - World Eaters. They seriously talk about being covered in blood and taking skulls as trophies. Doesn't get much more Khornate than that.

Disturbed - Indestructable - Necrons. Come on, this song is about being an invincible master of war. Most Necron Lords have been fighting wars for millions of years and are very hard to kill.

We are winged salvation, but we are a terrible, final salvation, and our wings embrace the horizon with fire. We are the Blood Angels. To confront us is to die, and death is my remit, my reality, my unbounded domain. I have known death, and defeated it, claimed it as my own. To my cost, to my strength, death is my one gift to bestow, and I am nothing if not generous.

I think that any chaos space marine legion that turned because of legitimate feelings of btrayal and that they were doing the right thing (the non-psychotic ones) get Viking Death March by Billy Talent.
Edit: Even though it has vikings in the name, it is not a theme for wolves.
