Unbeatable Battle Song

[KungFuMaster]

Listening to some of my favorite Folk Metal as I haunt these pages and feeling a bit like Legolas at The Battle of Helm's Deep (Yeah, I know, but there it is...also, a tiny bit of alcohol may or may not be involved) and wondering what you, my fellow Escapist, would like to have playing in the background if you had to wade into the throng with sword drawn (or bow-string taught) knowing that your options were either A.) Certain Glorious Heroic Victory or 2.) Certain Glorious Heroic Death; for me it would be "Victory Song" or "Guardians of Fate" by Ensiferum...Howzabout you?

You know, if need a battle song and you like Ensiferum, why wouldn't you just listen to "Battle Song"? I thought it would be obvious.


The song I would listen to would be "Solid" by Gamma Ray, or something by Rhapsody Of Fire. Hell, any fast power metal song will do.

I don't know the name of the musical piece, but Conan's battle theme from the original Arnold movie seems pretty good.

That and a couple of musical pieces by Nightwish and Tarja seem to fit the bill as well.

Nothing can beat Two Steps from Hell when dealing with epic music!

You know, if need a battle song and you like Ensiferum, why wouldn't you just listen to "Battle Song"? I thought it would be obvious.

Had to take a peek back afore bedtime; obvious, yes, but a bit too on the nose and a bit too short...need those extra few minutes to make sure I got 'em all.

Back For More by Five Finger Death Punch

It's just like "Mmm... go fuck shit up."

Queen - Don't stop me now
Right before stepping out to do explosive battle anime style against ridiculous numbers of enemies.
Also perhaps before a battle: N.E.R.D. - Victory

This song all the way.

Almost undoubtably a shameless self-plugging.

...but I don't mind because it was indeed awesome.

Some of my suggestions!

Hmh, Since I have been in some kind of Melodic Death/Viking Metal phase lately, not really unrelated to my barbarian char. in Skyrim, I would say that it's a tie between these:

I think I have what you're looking for:

Tell me that's not badass!

The Axe Gang Dance Song from Kung Fu Hustle.
Love the horns.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

If I see a boss fight coming, this is my tune. It makes me feel both bitchin', and disco!

 

[Ganthrinor]

Pretty much anything by Two Steps From Hell.

Specifically:

 

[WouldYouKindly]

Only for use in Skyrim, preferably if I'm maiming someone with a big axe. No idea what he is saying, but it has to be badass. Unfortunately it slows down about half way through.

To put it bluntly, if I were in an absolute struggle to the death with impossible odds... it would more likely than not be this:
