looking for some gaming music

[insaneferret]

i was playing some planetside today when i realised the music sucks, the kind mellow stuff you'd find in an RPG, hardly suited to the action that goes on while playing

anyone have or can reccomend some good music i can play in the background, looking for some good rockin metal, like the stuff from quake 2/3, tribes, preferably without vocals, dont mind techno but without the beeps and stupid noises, possibly some industrial

BBSRadio :)

I listen everyonce in awhile when playing makes it interesting :).

[insaneferret]

naw, BBSradio is more of a contemprary/alternative station, looking for some more headbanging deathmetal to pump me up

[insaneferret]

kept up the search, i've found that rammstein is pretty much the perfect gaming music for me, plenty heavy guitars with lots of distortion, and all the vocals are in russian , which i dont speak a work of (umm, vladimir!) so it's like not having vocals as they just sound creepy and evil

i was really looking for the kind of music in quake 2 and i seem to have found it, nice heavy blood pumping metal, perfect for gaming, kill em all type stuff

i more or less got thier entire discography, i have no idea which song is which, but thier all cool

[Stang]

Ya Rammstein is good even if you cant understand them :).

Rammstein is German dude. ;)

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

BTW, kittie might work for you too. Don't know which songs; I just seem to remember some really harsh stuff from them. ;)


You could always try classical too. I love killing to Bach, Mozart, or Beethoven. ;)

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

Oh shiat! Try Rob Zombie's stuff, or White Zombie's stuff too. Electrichead (White Zombie) should get you going. :D

[insaneferret]

russian, german, whatever, that wierd sounding glutteral language

[juxtaposedjoker]

The mars volta, lacuna coil, descendents, Tool, NIN....hmmm its early, thats all I can think of lol

[insaneferret]

i've tryed a bunch of heavy metal bands, tool, NIN (ghey), zombie etc but they all have vocals, thats distracting becauseyou recognize the language and your brain follows it and then you get a disc in the head, it either has to have no vocals or vocals so foreign and bizarre i wont recognize them, so my gaming playist now is mostly rammstein, trying to weed out the songs that suck from the 1.5gb of that, also a minor assortment of techno/trance stuff i thought was cool

having one of those multimedia keyboards with the winamp buttons at the top kicks ass

[juxtaposedjoker]

oh oh oh I know! TATU! But the Russian version. *nods*

[yak]

the mars volta is always good, also try trans am, cavein, converge, cornelius, and children of bodom

[Aluscia]

Dir en Grey, Malice Mizer... Theory of Trance, Orbital, Paul Oakenfield, DDR Songs.... :|

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

New Order, Cafe Del Mar, the non-vocal version of Able to Love or Satisfaction (benny benassi), KMFDM or MDFMK, wumpscut (war is a good one! though it has vocals that you can barely pick out...), VNV Nation...

Could you be looking for industrial techno? The really dark stuff?


Not all dark, but may work:

Delerium, alienation (headrush), nexxus, xorcist, zombie nation.

One song that works well for me is Confusin by New Order (the song from the bloodbath dance in Blade). It's got vocals, but only one word that blends well with the music. Plus it's a 10 minute song, so it lasts. ;)



Sleepy Maggie by Ashley MacIsaac would be good. It's in Gaelic, so you kind of sort of think you know the words, but you're not even close (Gaelic is what is spoken in Ireland, and it's like NOTHING you've ever heard; unless you've heard Gaelic, been to Nova Scotia which has a strange dialect of Gaelic, or practice listening to german techno played in reverse). Anyways, the song is a bit soft, but I've heard some good Irish metal and techno. I don't have any, but it was good.

Clannad is great too. A bit folksy, but has some good stuff.
