WAR TUNES

[Commodore_Axephante]

I'm actually an Indie music nerd, but when seeking a berserker state of mind, I find that metal, hard rock, heavy backbeats and a deep melodic rhythm is best. To that end I'm building myself a perfect mix for strat battles. It's still a work in progress - I'm namely looking for a "finisher" song for when victory is eminent. Thought I would share / open it up to comments and suggestions.
Enjoy!

For the roll-call/prep stages just before battle:
Nine Inch Nails: Just like you imagined:

For the opening / beginning of the battle:
Coheed and Cambria: Welcome home (instrumental remix)

For the push:
Dethklok: Go Into The Water:

For the last ten minutes, if you are certainly going to lose:
Mars Volta: Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt:

[Burr1ck]

[Commodore_Axephante]

Nailed it.

[NuberT]

not exactly the same genre, but might work..

[Largg]

Who doesn't have a battle playlist 

Fast paced folk metal works quite well for chases with a smell of victory in them. Or just blood lusted berserk rushes.

If you want something more of a heroic victory this might do

[//saxon]

Any are BADASS But To: Glory! is the one thats a must watch.

[Kuujis]

This actually made me create a playlist on YouTube for cRPG.... Thanks for the tunes!

[WITCHCRAFT]

Not metal, but Secret Chiefs 3 makes me want to spill blood in the sand.

Another desert-y tune.

Beirut makes me want to defend my peasant hovel.

Grails is for when I am witching about:

Listen to those drums and tell me you don't want to go to war:

edit: If you really must have something more rock/metal...

[Cenewulf]

For the initial push

After being relieved of guard duty of the flags or forward spawn and joining the main force.

When Defending a village

[SeaRaider_jizzimp]

Sabaton: Long live the king  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoJm0RSogoQ

Sabaton: Long live the king Swedish version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSae4M3oD-g 

Playing Crpg and listening to Sabaton is epic.

[Commodore_Axephante]

Saxon - your stuff is so triumphant - makes me realize how comparatively dark my selections were.
WITCH - you've got stuff there that I actually want to use to replace generic game music - especially the desert stuff.
Cenewulf - eclectic mix of paces there, man. I would be curious to observe the differences in your fighting to each song

Here's some non-metal selections of my own, just to vary it up a bit:

Bjork (everyone's favorite icelandic witch): Earth Intruders:

Aesop Rock (because hip-hop can have march-to-war appeal too!): Coffee:

[Commodore_Axephante]

Sabaton: Long live the king  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoJm0RSogoQ

Sabaton: Long live the king Swedish version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSae4M3oD-g 

Playing Crpg and listening to Sabaton is epic.

Dude I've never listened to Sabaton before - my entire relationship with them was based around this one time I tried to buy actual Sabatons (the foot-armor part of platemail) to fit over my sneakers, because I'm cool like that, and all I could find was pictures of those dudes on stage, haha.

Now I know what they're about!

[Sandersson Jankins]

[Son Of Odin]

Thor Oden's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your faith... (Do I need to say more? Perfect to start a battle)

These Tyr songs might be good and laid back enough to listen while consentrating on virtual killing 100%.

If you lose a battle:

Here, I've got you THE VICTORY song.

Here's that same song live. Best song ever.

Here is some music from the Norske bros if you rage and want to bash some skulls in.

[BarBeQ]

Before battle  :

Pretty rude one good for mid-battle :
