Help! looking for battle music for today's session

[Kol Korran]

So... in about 7.5 hours I'll be runnign a post apocalyptic session, which may involve a fair bit of battles. The great people of the forum have already suggested many great tracks for atmosphere (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283222), but I'm lacking more tracks for battle scenes.

I'm NOT looking for highly inspirational epic battle music (So Two Steps from Hell is out), but rather relatively fast paced brooding/ dark music. I'm allready using some tracks from the Batman Nolan soundtrack, and a few odds and pieces from other places.

Anyone can help? :smalleek:

Thanks!

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but for "fast paced yet dark" this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEtnBwgX0fg) was the first thing that came to mind.

witcher 1 soundtracks are "fast paced but dark" imo. thing is, they were made to loop, so if you don't loop them, they cut off(and start up) out of the blue. here's a video of what i mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqO9Wz0rz7g . if you can get your hands on the original files somehow, they are easy to loop (and loop extremely well too).

You could also use youtuberepeat or a similar thing. Basically, you type "repeat" into the URL after "youtube" in the video you want and it brings you to a website which loops it.

There's also this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=284499) thread. Maybe there's something useful there too?

I'm not so much for 'fast' songs, but two for you that might work.

A rather more upbeat song. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnHNlAorlbQ), well suited for fey encounters.

A more somber piece. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZWGH0ougJI)

Outside of battle, this (https://soundcloud.com/tekxcher/dark-days-ahead-demo-2) piece was submitted for the game Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, and should be suitable as general atmospheric music.

Might be a little Weeaboo, but here's something that might be useful. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owFulRTR1Sc) The song's actually pretty depressing in English

unfortunately the video is a set of sound files tied together, so looping would not help unless you cut them up first.

Thanks people! I had to deal with something, so I didn't have time to check before the meeting unfortunately... I'll keep the suggestions for further use, so they won't go to waste. Thanks!

Not sure how fast-paced you're looking for, but these might fit:

Radioactive, Imagine Dragons.
Kryptonite, 3 Doors Down.
