What bands and songs do you guys listen to during battle?

When I play
Undivided: Megadeth's Die Dead Enough
Khorne: Slipknot's Psychosocial.
Nurgle: Disturbed's Down with the Sickness.
Tzeentch: Pantera's Becoming
Slaanesh: Guns n Roses' Welcome to the Jungle or AC/DC's Shoot for Thrills

**Psienesis**

Laibach
A couple albums of Gregorian chants I have from a selection of choirs
Mind.In.A.Box.
The Sisters of Mercy (the band, not the Catholic order... the former is named for the latter)
Skinny Puppy
Einstuerzende Neubauten

... and that's pretty much the sum of my "gaming music".

**Chesh**

VNV Nation makes for a great 40k soundtrack, as do gregorian chant industrial remixes.

**Unit1126PLL**

For the 1CAR:
Panzer Battalion by Sabaton

For the Logicians Space Marine chapter:
Adeptus Mechanicus by HMKids

For my (as yet unnamed) Necrons:
Machine World by Iron Savior

For the Death Korps of Krieg:
The Price of a Mile by Sabaton

**Eldarain**

The soundtrack to Final Fantasy Tactics makes excellent background music for war games.

I have been looking for something more gothicly themed for 40k wars. Will have to keep looking,

Edit: After some Youtube scouring I'm really liking Nox Arcana

**AnomanderRake**

Mostly Dawn of War music, actually.

**GreatGunz**

Queen for Slaanesh. Kind of goes without saying I guess.

**Ma55ter_fett**

Hi-Ho Hi-ho
Its off to war we go
With an axe or a sword
We're never bored
Hi-ho Hi-ho Hi-ho

Repeat until blood runs from the ears of your enemies

**bmoleski**

Where the Dead Ships Dwell is my favorite song while wargaming.

**Chaos Cajun**

I forgot Sabaton.Some of there songs are great for Imperial Guards.Thanks for some music to experiment with.

**Kasrkin229**

For my Guard when im about to fire mass lasguns and drive my Chimera's over them .....this ........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJNz2QgSNsk&feature=related............ makes you feel like an utter badass...... and when Valkyrie Squadren comes in , Fortunate son by Creedance Clear Water Revieal

**Grey Templar**

Ride of the Valkieries, appropriate for just about anything.

**Iur_tae_mont**

This is the Battle Song of the K'ale Sept

For some reason, I always thought this Song just fit Tau like a glove.

For mah Daemons though....

**Slipstream**

I've always thought 'Deaf forever' by Motorhead is a great song for Spaces Wolves.

**CthuluIsSpy**

Black Templars or Space Wolfs

This 100%

Price of a Mile is a good example.

**Deadshot**

When I am playing Nids, I use Termagant body shid
eld and have "Blow me away" in the background.

**purplefood**

I don't really like metal or heavy rock so my taste may seem a bit more... incongruous compared to some on this thread..

Spoiler:

They are all much more fun if you sing along as well

**Skycrawler**

Spoiler:

**nomsheep**

Zonaria slaughter is passion

Spoiler:

Nom

**MrMerlin**

Two steps from hell anyone?

**DeathReaper**

I made my own MP3 to use as a backdrop for my 40k Games.

it has bullets flying, tanks shooting, ricochets, Space Marines, Dark Eldar, and Tyranids fighting, and commanders commanding.

**The Crusader**

MrMerlin

**IcedAnimals**

We tend to listen to songs that bring nostalgia. So things such as

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iof5pRAIZmw (If it can go with anything it definitely can go with 40k!)

**Emerett**

This keeps everyone calm and loops well.

Add rain for added calmness.
