Thread: What type of real-life songs/music best represent each of the warhammer races?

  1. #1

    What type of real-life songs/music best represent each of the warhammer races?

    For example WOC could be heavy metal
    Orcs could be rock or metal
    Daemons could be glam rock
    High Elves I would go with opera music (preferably some with loads of tragedy and melancholy in it)
    Vampires, something 'Goth' obviously. Michael Jackson's Thriller?

    Any thoughts? Specific songs = even better

    The Empire and specifically Warrior Priests of Sigmar would get the theme song Unknown Soldier - Breaking Benjamin (which I would give to the IG in 40k too).

    Start the song, mute the video (duh) and watch it. Actually the video is a bit shorter than the song and it's not the best fit, but whatever...

    Anything other than Generic rock.

    Orcs would get 80's hip hop.(Slam, let the boys be boys)

    Night gobbos would get 90's rap (Boys in the hood)

    Empire would get Extreme religion music. (Satan, we're gonna tear your kingdom down)

    Chaos would get a corrupted form of religion music.

    woodelves would get nature sounds/ native music.

    Beastmen would get sounds of animals fighting and screams/ mosh pit/90's gansta rap

    Dwarves would get working music (16 tonnes)

    Elves would get majestic fanfares (Heroes of might and magic 2)

    Dark elves would get Klingon battle them

    Tomb kings would get egypt theme from age of mythologies

    Chaos warriors- Sons of Odin by Man'O'war

    That song is just beast.

    Oh... and if the Dark Elves should have any song dedicated to them (though again, I believe it fits more clearly with the Dark Eldar) it's this one.

    A couple more thoughts...

    Dwarfs: Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries (for gyrocopters)
    Vamps: Cradle of Filth's Nymphetamine Fix (theme for Vlad and Isabella)

    Skaven any 'evil themed music'. But you could also have Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run (away).

    Ehhh what? Do you know what glam rock is? It's bad party music with power ballads, and all the songs are about girls -.-'.

    I get the sense you might mean power metal, that's the music that's always about deamons and dragons.

    I would probably like some nice medieval court music for brets.

    Folks there's only one song that could possibly represent the stalwart defenders of the Empire.

    For a Tzeentch host it hast to be Carmina Burana, especially the O Fortuna.
    Angrier than a hatful of hornets,
    Crazier than a crack head cat,
    Here to make amusing puppets from your skin,
    And sticky treats from your vital organs.

    Nothing captures Daemons like Black Metal. Majestic atmosphere and pure rage combined.

    Re: What type of real-life songs/music best represent each of the warhammer races?

    The ultimate music list, I present to thee:

    Empire - Choir music, think Gregorian Chant
    Bretonnia - Folk music
    Warriors of Chaos - Heavy/Power/Viking metal, e.g Manowar, Amon Amarth
    Daemons of Chaos - Black metal, e.g Darkthrone
    Beastmen - Death/gore metal, e.g Dismember, Gorerotted
    Orcs & Goblins - Hip Hop, e.g 50 Cent, A Tribe Called Quest
    High Elves - Classical music, e.g Mozart
    Wood Elves - Modern folk fusion, e.g Lumsk
    Dark Elves - Electro house, e.g Afrojack, R3hab
    Vampire Counts - Goth and stuff
    Lizardmen - Latin American musig, e.g people on streets playing pan pipes
    Dwarfs - Strangely enough about the same music as WoC
    Skaven - Street musicians playing multiple instruments at the same time (but powered by warpstone..)
    Tomb Kings - Egyptian music, of course

    Re: What type of real-life songs/music best represent each of the warhammer races?

    Whenever I see dwarves march into battle I'm always humming "Heigh-Ho" from Snow White

    As for Woodelves... tbh they are the *least* likely to have "sounds of nature" playing; I would have to say prog rock for outside of battle (e.g. "Pink Floyd - Julia's Dream") and then once they are on the rampage Mutter by Rammstein or something else terrifying :P

    As for high Elves... "Prelude: song of the gulls by King Crimson"; its pretention in a song!

    And Skaven... anyone else thinking Gremlins Theme song

    If you don't think "Sounds of nature can be scary get lost in the woods. Then stay there at night. make them the woods from the tales from the dark side intro. Open your mind to more music than rock.

    Actually I find the sounds very relaxing when I stay in my mate's woodland - and if you think Heigh-Ho is rock you might need to listen to it again :P
