Hi there!
Lately, I've been listening to a selection of my favourite music tracks (Two Steps From Hell, namely), and it got me thinking, shouldn't there be a small selection of music that would fit some things within the 40k universe? I can't word this correctly, but I was wonnderinng if anyone would have any good music they would like to share, that would be good for a 40k movie, videogame etc.
This is what I've found as a good example:

This is Two Steps From Hell - Elementum
I specifically like this one as I think it would suit a 40k movie focussed around SM in particular. It just feels right for that purpose.

Please share any other music you want, as long as it is appropriate and awe-inspiring to listen to.
Thanks!

I'd associate this one with the ruinous powers, personally:

It's called Army of One, by Dark Matter Sounds.

Oh, if you do want to share some music, set it out like this:
Name of Song*
Name of Artist*
URL code
Why you like it and what you think it represents in the 40k universe.
*Put ? if you don't know either the song or the artist.

Some classic 40K music i grew up with there

Two Steps from Hell are brilliant. I think most of their songs fit very well with the 40k universe.
I imagine this one would go well with Space Marines defending against a Tyranid invasion.

I think girls just want to have fun by cindy lopper would be good for the sisters of battle.

Of course, ring of fire for Purifiers.

Perhaps the meow mix advert for 'Nids? Or is that too far fetched?

Alright, a serious point, I think Epic Score deifinitly delivers the thematic music we would expect from this universe.

-More of a tribute vid, but still nice to watch.



-Noise marines dubstep .

So about two hours later, I'm still listening to that music and music linked from that video

This was awesome! LOL

I use a track that I put together on loop, it is about 16 minutes long, as the background for games.

Thanks lol.

What I've got

Blood Angels DoA from about 0:29.



Some certain Ecclesiarchy force. Fitting name for metal boxes though.






Are a fair few others on that OST, but not going to bore people with it.

I've posted this before, but I find these two are very fitting for Necrons.

This one goes well with Necrons rising and attacking.



And if you like dubstep, I think this goes wellwith a Necron firing line.

That was made by Two Steps From Hell as well. t's called "Am I Not Human, I think. Well, TRON Legacy has Am I Not Himan for the theme anyway.
I have an entire playlist of TSFH, if anyone wants me to put it up. They are freaking epic. And the music you guys have provided is amazing, thanks. Overnight I've got about 12 to 15 replies, it's fantastic to know a lot of people share my interest in epic music .
Who wants me to make a database for all this?

When I play Necrons, I blast this music!




I bee-lieve this is the actual Necron Martial March music... *cough*

Should I ask for a sticky? I think this would do very well for a 40k fanbase music collection.

Nah, it comes up often enough anyway. Always a little different each time too.

Ok.
I hope this one stays alive though.
Oh, and here's the playlist I mentioned earlier:

Note for everyone who reads this:
If you want epic music that's quite modern, go to YouTube, type in either Audiomachine, Two Steps From Hell, or Epic Score. I seriously feel God-like when I listen to them. They sound beautiful...

Couple more for you. One from a tribute video and one from one of the best series ever. Of all time. You can guess where the first one goes, the second is definitely for assault phases, jump pack users especially.

I've always wanted to make my titan have sound, I've been toying with the idea of giving it a warhorn, like the ones the reapers have.

Wouldn't be hard to fit an MP3 player and speakers into the carapace.

I did this with an Exorcist once, so the Bolter-Nuns could 'whistle while they worked'

Erm, guys? I found a set of songs specifically designed for 40k. Strange how things turn out, isn't it?

This speaks for itself.

And i have a 58 odd long playlist of music tracks. They all seem to be good for 40k...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_1ZZR5oN4w&feature=BFa&list=PLCEAD7F4AE1961A8B&shuffle=74691
It took me about 4 hours to find all of those songs.

When I hear this, I always think about Tzeentch:

Another solid Guard theme



Sallie I believe you found HMkids, It's a Russian metal band that does 40k music pretty much exclusively, here have some more:









Slight content warning on this one, it's about daemonettes with attendant "art"




Unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnfortunantly all their songs that I've found are characterized by poor sound quality especially in the vocals department. YMMV however I'm deaf as hell from years of heavy metal, jet engines and gun fire.
