==Metal==
*'''Angra - Temple of Shadows''': '''THE''' Nobledark album in power metal. Don't be fooled by the dark aesthetics of the cover and the fact the songs describe a world that could give original Warhammer a run for it's money, the overreaching message of the album is that any man can reach their redemption if they work towards it hard enough. Has great vocals and an interesting story to boot, with the main themes providing enough material to create entire campaigns around them.

*'''Alestorm''': Pirates + Metal + Scotland. If you haven't heard this playing in your local hobby shop, you've never been to your local hobby shop. Period. Especially appropriate for playing Warmahordes to.

*'''Black Sabbath''': The guys who made the genre. Any metalhead who isn't at least semi-knowledgable about them will be put to death by the masses.  Used to be the shit, now they're just the shit that's played on any classic dad rock station as background music.

*'''Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth''': A one-hour-long speed metal concept album about [[The Silmarillion]]. If that doesn't sound fuck awesome to you, then get the fuck off this website. <ref>We'll accept a "that ''sounds'' awesome, but I've been burned by concept albums before" reaction as well, just so long as you're willing to try it; if your reaction was either "I just don't like speed metal." or "But I found the Silmarillion really boring!", well, fuck you too buddy.</ref> Appropriate levels of [[cheese]] and [[Fist of the North Star|manliness]] are expected.

*'''[[Bolt Thrower]]''': Worth mentioning here due to their connection to [[Warhammer 40k]]. It's a death metal band, so pretty much a [[skub|"love it or hate it" deal]], but yeah... [[Neckbeard]]s making 40k-themed music, yo!

*'''Burzum - Filosofem''': Trve kvlt shit from Norway made by a white nationalist who [[Khorne|stabbed his bandmate and label manager to death]] because he [[Neutral Evil|"had it coming"]] and eventually [[Myfarog|wrote a racist as fuck rpg]]. Unlike Myfarog, however, this album is actually good with super noisy production, heavy atmosphere and awesome grooves...well...at least in the first half...

*'''Dragonforce''': Power metal par excellence. Best known for Through the Fire and the Flames, which you would literally have to have lived under a rock for the past decade and a half to have not heard. The rest of their work is similarly brilliant and fast enough to delight even the most jaded of Speed Freeks. 

*'''Ghost''': [[file:Ghost_concert.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Ghost is [[Dark Heresy]] as a musical.]]Sweedish band that's basically Black Sabbath crossed with Judas Priest.  Virtually unknown in the US for their first decade as no label or radio group wanted their name attached to the band's [[edgy|lyrics]], although after they won a grammy in 2016 they became more well known.  Their stage act looks like what you'd get if the Ecclesiarchy had Harlequins.

*'''Gloryhammer''': A swiss-scottish power metal band lead by Christopher Bowes, the lead singer of Alestorm. Their music is cheesy as fuck (with lots of ham), but the lyrics sound like a D&D campaign gone off the rails with more than a fair share of AoS/40k thrown in, if you want to remember back when you didn't give a shit about being edgy or realistic or an adult and just loved things because they were over-the-top awesome then this is for you, their lyrics would actually make for very funny crossover campaigns. If you are not making a Chaos Sorcerer expy of Zargothrax by the 5 minutes of listening to "Space 1992: Rise Of The Chaos Wizards" then there is something very wrong with you.

*'''GWAR''': Thrash metal band, notable for dressing up in monster costumes and having elaborate shows where they kill celebrities, politicians and various supervillain adversaries. Have a surprisingly in-depth lore revolving around being an army of space barbarians who were exiled to Earth, and then frozen in Antartica for millions of years after they created humanity by raping primates (yeah, this band isn't for anybody with a low tolerance for [[/b/|extremely vulgar humor]]). For particular /tg/ relevance, they also had their own skirmish wargame at one point called "Rumble in Antartica", the cover art for their "Violence Has Arrived" album was done by the 40k artist Adrian Smith, and their frontman also half-wrote an adventure for [[Lamentations of the Flame Princess]] before dying. 

*'''The Hu''': Mongols + Metal = [[Awesome]]. Wolf totem could be used as the [[White Scars]] theme tune.
**On that note, other White Scars worthy musicians/songs include:
***'''Tengger Cavalry''' - Chinese instead of Mongolian. Lots of good shit, especially the remastered version of War Horse. The lead singer is dead now, so no more new music.
***'''Hassak - Amahat''' -The Hu, but Turkic
*'''Judas Priest''': One of THE heavy metal bands of the 80's, and one of the most famous Metal bands in history. Their songs are fairly diverse as there are plenty of slower, mellower song to go with the faster more aggressive songs, but most feature some great guitar solos and brutal fucking vocals from Rob Halford (and some great vocals from Tim "Ripper" Owens), who can let out high pitched banshee wails that you'll feel in you chest. A lot of their stuff is very suitable theme tunes for [[Chaos Space Marines|Chaos Warbands]], especially the [[Emperors children]] and [[Iron Warriors]] ("Eat me alive" and "All guns blazing" fit the legions very well), so they great for getting in the mood for painting Chaos Space Marines and Chaos Warriors. If you haven't heard any Judas Priest stuff before, start out with something like "Electric eye", "Breaking the Law" or [[Night Lords|"Nightcrawler"]], since songs like "Painkiller" can be a bit much for a first listen and some people need to get into the band first before they can enjoy some of their screechy songs.

*'''Megadeth''': One of the thrash metal "big four" the themes their songs are famous for have caused a revival of the thrash metal genre. Like instead of songs about satanic shit or "hedonistic pleasures" the lyrics of a megadeth song have other themes like government conspiracies or the extinction of the human race. Also, the riffs will cut your head off.

*'''Nekrogoblikon''': Goblin Metal, goblins from a magical island in outer space come to fuck mankind up.

*'''Opeth''': If you want a metal band that doesn't stay on a single metal type, them for all means listen to Opeth. These guys have done almost everything: From Doom Metal to Power Metal and Alternative Metal, they have it all. Their themes varies, but they do have a great number of musics about legends and places which can give a good inspiration for a campaign. Also, their ''magnum opus'', Blackwater Park, fits great in a Vampire: The Masquerade-esque world.

*'''Powerwolf''': A German metal band whose music centers around 3 things: Gothic Horror, Satanism and Christianity back when it was a lot more [[Heresy|purge-y]]. They have this whole twisted Catholic/Satanic clergy thing going and their music is pretty fucking sweet for a variety of inspirations. Not many bands can get you pumped for playing a righteous Paladin as well as these guys can.

*'''Sabaton''': And then the [[Kislev|winged hussars]] '''arrived'''! Iconic power metal band with a focus on the most [[awesome]] moments in history, perfect inspiration for a historical fantasy or war campaign and all around great for pumping your testosterone up. The only negative part is that [[/pol/]] has adopted a few of their songs about the german army and infected it's comments with [[cancer]] and nazi propaganda (Just like everything else /pol/ touches), but as long as one ignores that Sabaton has one of the most friendly metal fanbases you will see out there. Also has a surprisingly good number of /a/nons who are fans of the band due to their association to military-themed anime.
**Sabaton's pretty famous for their minability of their songs, there's one for pretty much any human faction, but mostly Imperial Guard. Songs like [[Krieg | Price of a Mile]], [[Elysian Drop Troops|Screaming Eagles]], [[Imperial Guard|Panzerkampf]] are great.  But once you've heard one Sabaton song, you've heard them all. If you're looking to set up BGM for your sessions, do your friends a favor and space out your Sabaton songs with other guys. 

*'''Tool''': Their fanbase may suck and be full of cringe, but at least Tool can stand on their musical merits. Catchy riffs and songs with enough time signatures to keep the hipster who pretends he knows music theory happy.

*'''Wind Rose''': [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] that play Power metal, they even turned a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytWz0qVvBZ0| Minecraft song] into an [[Awesome]] [https://youtube.com/watch?v=34CZjsEI1yU| Metal song]. Basically If you’re painting a dwarf army give them a listen and you’ll be done in minutes.  And now the mad<strike>men</strike>dwarves have made [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHXUkZmvEJE a song about the hold of Ekrund], which automatically has turned them not just in a dorf metal band but THE Warhammer dorf metal band!
