Subject: (SILLY!) What are your Titan’s Voxhailers blaring?
So in 40K canon, it’s established that all Titans and Knights are fitted with Voxhailers, to blare out Imperial Hymnals in battle to demoralise the enemy.
But The Imperium being The Imperium, said Hymnals could be anything. Provided it’s ancient, as is tradition. And this is a purposefully silly thread for you to tell us which song, or indeed songs you might play were you the Pilot or Princeps.
Provided the song comes within the usual Dakka rules, anything goes. And here’s mine. Ideally piloting a Knight Suit geared toward Close Combat, when hunting down the enemy commander to see who’s actually proper fighty, and who’s a weedy little splotchy pancake. And after the bridge, when I’m merrily running around their rear lines squelching anything I come across.

Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
German band "die Ärzte", back when they still were rather Punk Rocky... The text talks about an old bully who used to beat up the lead singer together with his buddies. But one day he has enough, finds the bully alone and gets some payback. The refrain "Immer mitten in die Fresse..." is basically "Always straight in the kisser...". The guitars, the text, the rhythm... it was first that came to mind when I read your question.
Edit: uh, found a translation of the text:
Spoiler:
You spat on me, hit me and trod on me so many times.
That wasn't very kind of you, I had never asked for that.
Your friends applauded. They thought it was really great
when you beat me up. But now that's enough of that.
Violence causes counterviolence – did no one explain it to you.
Or didn't you also simply listen to carefully like so often before.
Now you stand in front of me and we're all alone.
No one can help you, no one will stand by your side.
I only keep on smashing you.
Always smashing right in the middle of your face!
Always smashing right in the middle of your face!
I'm not strong and I'm not a hero. But what's enough is enough.
I used to be the outlet for your aggression.
Your pals always were there, but now the tables are turning.
Even if I better move away tomorrow, anywhere to another town
(anywhere to another town)
Violence causes counterviolence – did no one explain it to you.
Or didn't you attend classes as well, like so often before.
Now you lie in front of me and we're all alone,
and I keep on smashing you.
That's good. That was simply necessary.
Always smashing right in the middle of your face!
Always smashing right in the middle of your face!
Always smashing right in the middle of your face,
right in the middle of your face

@ TheCrispyOne: Can I say that the second song is the scariest I saw in this list so far? Imagine sitting in the trench and suddenly you hear THIS blasting over the battlefield...

Probably doesn't work as well if you actually understand russian, but I can totally see the Imperium blast the Red army choir Songs across the field (even when they don’t understand them themselves ).
Better yet, let the choir actually sing from the top of that Titan.

Waiting for my shill money from Spiral Arm Studios
Anything from Sabaton of course.
This song is also pretty cool. I could see a Titan named Don Juan blaring an ancient song of its forgotten namesake.
This one could work too.
