My wargames club usually has lots of Clutch going. Sometimes they would stream random rock or metal off Sportify. There were a few '70s, '80s and '90s nights. For my AirCav, I immediately play that Ride of the Valkyrie thing as soon as the first flyer arrives on Turn 2, then I have random songs from a Vietnam War era playlist off my iPad.

The music from Peter Jackson's lord of the rings series is also pretty good.

Also, pretty much whatever you enjoy listening to. I myself enjoy long, progressive Trance songs, which in my mind can help set the mood.
Also, to add on to what Swastakowey said, there is an artist on Youtube named Andries De Haan. He does a lot of cool songs that fit a lot of different moods. He's what I listen to when I want something epic sounding.
I've ripped the shooting sequences from We Were Soldiers, Predator, Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers and Star Wars I. It's nice to have shooting effects, explosions, yelling and sounds of tanks in the back ground when playing.

To me the Chaos Space Marines needed to be characterised as a threat reaching back to the Imperium's past, a threat which had refused to lie down and become part of history. This is in part why the gods of Chaos are less pivotal in Codex Chaos; we felt that the motivations of Chaos Space Marines should remain their own, no matter how debased and vile. Though the corrupted Space Marines of the Traitor Legions make excellent champions for the gods of Chaos, they are not pawns and have their own agendas of vengeance, empire-building vindication or arcane study which gives them purpose.
Listen to the sounds of the gaming club. The Lamentations of nearby players as their prized unit dies. The triumphant cheers as a lucky strike is made. The prayers to the god of dice and Lady Luck. And whatever bad music they play through the store speakers...
My LGS generally uses Pandora or Spotify for their musical needs depending on who is running the counter at the time. On Tuesday, the 40k day, the evening musical selection is usually on the greatest hits of the 80s.
I don't dislike the selection, not one bit. In fact I think the sounds of Earth, Wind, and Fire; Bonnie Tyler, Foreigner, Loverboy, and Paul Simon really lend themselves well to the general lunacy of the grim darkness of the 41st millennium. In fact declaring charges and resolving shooting to "Funky Town", "Disco Inferno", or anything by Hall and Oates adds a delightful pastiche of levity to the whole ordeal.
