    eek Help! looking for battle music for today's session

    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, 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?

    Thanks!

    3. Various roleplay and real life musings and anecdotes:
    For those interested, from serious to funny!

    Thanks for reading!

    Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but for "fast paced yet dark" this 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 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., well suited for fey encounters.

    A more somber piece.

    Outside of battle, this 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. 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.
