CF sent me an MP3 for Stargazer by Mundanus Imperium, and I suddenly feel like making up a list of MP3s to find.
Some of my favorites on hand now include Highway Star by Deep Purple and NIB by Black Sabbath.
The whole Reign In Blood album by Slayer is up among the best in metal.
"Symbols of bloodswords" by Mayhem or Krisiun's "Apocalypt victory" are two of the best metal tracks of all time imo. But as a whole, i have to agree with Reign In Blood...
Red Harvest from Altar (whole album except Red Harvest itself)
Jakten's Tid from Finntroll (especially Aldhissla)
Hmm . . . metal hasn't really been my thing since I 'graduated' to Industrial some time ago. On that note . . . KMFDM comes very highly recommended. Some of their albums would be described as electronic metal, which is (I guess) an operational definition of industrial music. In some cases anyway. Another way to explain it would be that the electric guitars are sampled and fed through a computer, which makes them faster and more precise than a person has any hope of achieving. "And the kids just love it!"
I used to listen to Metallica quite a bit, and a lot of their old stuff is pretty good. Between their whining about napster, and the fact that every piece of music from them post 1990 has just sucked . . . I can't listen to them anymore though.
On the other hand, my brother is a huge metal fan, and he says that Slayer is one of the best!
A very new and very weird metal band is Mushroomhead. They have two vocalists, and they occasionally add piano and crazy stuff like that. They also have lyrics like "Greedo died at the hands of Solo" . . . as far as I'm concerned, you can't beat that.
-HengeWolf
KMFDM BETTER THAN THE BEST
MEGALOMANIACAL AND HARDER THAN THE REST.
I work a 12 hour shift and have a few songs on "repeat" all night in my unit:
"Symphony of Destruction" by Megadeath
"Until It Sleeps" by Metallica(S&M)
"Cowboys From Hell" by Pantera( I think)
"Cemetary Gates" by Pantera( I think)
"One" by Metallica (S&M)
"Get Up" by Van Halen (not really 'metal' but a kickin song)
Crank the bass on Symphony of Destruction and enjoy!!!
Also, anything by Ozzy is great for MTG!!!(imo)

Well, Metallica's later stuff is crap in my opinion. If you want some fun jamming songs, try Iron Maiden's number of the beast album. Hallowed be thy name baby!
Faeries were Boots is perhaps Black Sabbath's best song IMHO. Other great songs:
Starting up a Posse--Anthrax
Cult of Personaliy--Living Colour
Metropolis--Dream Theatre
I too "graduated from Metal many years to seek out industrial music. Here's a few of favorite classic Metal traxx:
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)-Metallica
Walk-Pantara
Lumberjack Song-Jackyl(jk does NE1 remember this)
Wild Side- Motley Crue
Shout at the Devil-Motley Crue
the entire Seasons in the Abyss album-Slayer
anything by Kyuss
anything by Suicidal Tendencies
One of the best things about KMFDM (RIP) is all the things fans came up with what it stands for:
Kill Mutha F***in' Depeche Mode
Killing Madona Frees Desparate Minds
Kinky Men F**k During Menstruation
Have anyone heard the ultra-rare Nine Inch Nails remix of Symphony of Destruction? beautiful.
Anything of Metallica's including the Black album and after is not real Metallica. It is Bob Rock's watered down interpretation of Metallica. F**k those money grubbin bastards, Metallica.
A list of recommended old metal.
Slayer: album Seasons in the Abyss
Megadeth: album Rust in Peace
Iron Maiden: albums Powerslave, Rust in Peace, and
Sevent Son of a Seventh Son
Manowar: song The Power of Thy Sword
Some great newer metal.
Emperor: albums Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk,
and Prometheus (elite Norwegian black metal)
Angizia: album Die Kemenaten Scharlachroter
Lichter (a blend of metal and romance period
classical, features piano, woodwinds and strings)
Cradle of Filth: album Dusk and Her Embrace
(gothic romantic vampiric black metal)

Kein Mitleid Fur Die Mehrheit.
It means, "No pity for the majority."

what does this have to do with magic?
Everything.
Don't you realize that the key to Apprentice is the background music?
What do you think control players listen to, Britney Spears?
Kind of got me thinking, what background music did strippers use before Britney spears got on the scene?
err I thought control players listened to debussy and bach ;)
Wow, we've got some great songs here. There's too many for me to list here, but my classic metal tracks include anything & everything from:
Rush
Dream Theater
Queensryche
Iron Maiden
Helloween
Metallica
Megadeth
Pantera
Anthrax
I like lots of other (read: new) stuff too, but these are my 80's staples (I think of Dream Theater & Pantera as 80's, even though technically they're early 90's).
And this has to do with Magic because Magic is alot more fun to a great soundtrack
LordLamneth
Hel yes, this has everything to do with magic. There are still several albums and songs I used to listen to while playing, and even to this day they will remind me of old decks I used to play, and old opponents.
Marilyn Manson's AntiChrist Superstar will always remind me of my Fallen Angel/Carrion deck with Alpha Lotus and Beta Mox Jet. Everything in the deck that wasn't from an expansion, was Alpha or beta, and of course completely black-bordered. Yes, I was the player who'd own $1000 worth of cards just to play them in some bizarre casual deck!
I'd think of some more . . . but I'm out of time.
-HengeWolf, who believes that music and magic are inseparable.
anything by Apocalyptica. no guitars, just cellos. but heavier than many metal bands.
oh, and Slayer rules! I saw them in San Francisco in December and they were amazing.
My fav's are Slayer, Megadeth, Zombie (White or Rob), King Diamond and Therion.
Therion is Slayer with symphony (S & S). Very cool.
Most of the strippers I see use Pantera, Metallica, and Rob Zombie type music. HELL YEAH!!
no, control players listen to culture club. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME?!?! DO YOU REALLY WANNA MAKE ME CRY!?!?!
How could I forget Bal-Sagoth's album Battle Magic
in the newer metal list??? Blind Guardian's album
Nightfall in Middle-Earth is great as well.
I used to listen to the older Metallica material
back in the day. I guess my favourite songs by
them feature at leastm these:
Fade to Black
Call of Ktulu
Disposable Heroes
Orion
Shortest Straw
Dyer's Eve
Apocalyptica is sure great, especially the album
Cult, which features their own material. (Was that
one Cult?)
Pantera's Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills is
among the sickest songs I've ever heard. Just
listen to what the chorus part sounds like.
Horrible.
On a final note, Immortal's song Mountains of Might
is also quite fine as far as Norwegian black metal
goes.

ah Immortal...what better music to listen to when playing a re-animator deck? ;)
if you're playing reanimator, you listen to michael jackson's thriller. no doubt, c'mon. DUH!
How about King Diamond's song Up from the Grave
then?
If someone thinks Metallica's S&M is good, well,
try the collaboration of the German band Rage and
the Prague Symphonic Orchestra, the album Lingua
Mortis. Now that is how it should be done. The
band plays as a real part of the orchestra and the
music is interestingly layered. Compare to S&M
where Metallica steals all the show, their guitars
dominate the forground and none of the really
catchy parts have been arranged for the orchestra:
the orchestra just tries to create a pompous
background for the band to go rampant on.
Also, on Lingua Mortis, the arrangements are truly
great.
Have you noticed that the illustration on Corpse
Dance from Tempest, by Adrian Smith, is disturbingly
similar to the cover art of Iron Maiden's double
live album Live After Death? (That is one of the
most convincing live performances I've ever heard.)
Oh, there is another Adrian Smith who plays guitar
in Iron Maiden, by the way.
Yrs
Thaurwylth

If reanimators listen to triller, then without a doubt, sligh players listen to Reign in Blood. Anyone who has seen the cover and listened to it must agree with me.
Megadeath: powerslave and rhyme.
Iron maiden: Crusader.
Judas priest: Jack the ripper.
Dio?: Holy diver.
Sepultura: Dont know the titles or name of cd, wonder why???
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thunderdome and trance is also godly stuff...
WD
Incubus: Beyond the unknown (Album)
Pestilence: Out of the body
Megavier: Megavier (Album)
And the song for Doomsday players: Beck: Loser
Actually I am creating jingles out of famous songs to play them when something special occurs during them game. For example if someone plays a big direct damage spell I hit a key on my computer and you´ll hear: "Burn, motherfucker ... burn!" taken from "The roof is on fire". Bodycount´s "Copkiller" when someone disenchants a CoP and so on.
Who said music has nothing to do with Magic? Are you deaf? Have you never played multi player magic with friends evenings, drinking a good beer or whiskey and listening to ... music? Shame on you. Besides of that, this is the Rumor Mill!

I've been downloading a lot of the stuff here (though I can't FIND a good MP3 of Of Sins and Shadows aside from the noisy Live recording).
What's good with other guys like Jimi Hendrix and Van Halen?
Voodoo Child all the way!
Van Halen -

No one likes Wild Thing?
the "infinity" album of devin townsend-please do me a favor and download anyone of his songs and tell me what you think !(nobody knows him or what?)
On a more classic way "infinite dreams" from Iron maiden, and i higly recommend the album Jakten tid from Finntroll too!(especially the ghost track!)
See also ,for more psychedelic stuff, Close to the edge , from Yes, and Surrounded ,from Dream Theater!
OH ,AND NOBODY HAVE MENTIONNED KASHMIR FROM LED ZEPPELIN!!!!
I found a recording of Hey Joe done by Robert Plant and some band he was in before Led Zeppelin (some hippie nonsense Band of Joy/Love or something). Fantastic stuff. If you want it search for that song title and Zeppelin as the artist.
And, c'mon, there are much better Zeppelin songs than Kashmir. If you want some really badass Zeppelin songs download Heartbreaker, Whole Lotta Love, and Living Loving Maid. I find that most people who aren't already Zep fans like those songs the most. And Black Dog and Rock and Roll off the fourth album. Can't forget those.
-Rico
Rakso: if you wanna hear some great Hendrix, listen to Machine Gun. I listened that song about 200 times (and it's 10 minutes long!), but the suggestion above are great too.
JUDAS PRIEST - BREAKING THE LAW!
My favourite Metal song ever.
Other than that, I'd recommend everything from Apocalyptica, Blind Guardian and Heros del Silencio. Oh, and AC/DC still rocks!
The Doors are also favourites.of mine.
Hendrix must be enjoyed as a whole - put in any album, sit back and take a deep breath to dive into the blurring universe that is his music.
As for magic, every deck has its tracks:
Sligh: Light my Fire (The Doors)
Stompy: Break on through (The Doors)
Suicide: Highway to Hell (AC/DC)
Keeper: Are you Experienced? (Jimi Hendrix), Love me tender (Elvis Presley)
Dozer
Metallica- For Whom The Bell Tolls, 4 Horseman
Everthing from "V" (Symphony X)
Just about all of ACDC. (Metal?)
Everything off of Guilty Gear X. (Done by Lapis Lazuli I believe.)
Sabra Cadabra (sp?) Black Sabbath
I was at Nurmi-Metalfest last Saturday... God... 8 hours of nothing but ear-tearing, neighbour-disturbing metal. Too bad, that the singer of the main performer (Finntroll) has cancer of the throat and can't sing... Luckily Mika Luttinen of Impaled Nazarine was there as a substitute. I chatted with the guys for a while, and downed a few beers. They seem to be some of the coolest ppl on Earth. As the event took place in the Finnish countryside (yes, Nurmijärvi is countryside), there were ppl living only something like 50 meters from the place. No wonder someone called the cops to ask for less volume... LOL. Did they really think the performers would listen to that kind of talk? I mean, they were all wasted and didn't give a tiny rats ass...
But, to give my opinion on some good bands/albums
Barathrum - Eerie, Infernal, Legions of Perkele
Finntroll - Jaktens tid, Midnattens Widunder
Old Man's Child - Ill-natured spiritual invasion
Arcturus - Aspera hiems symponia, La masquerade infernale
And Oceans were born - The Dynamic Gallery of Thoughts
Any of the older Metallica albums
Rammstein - Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Mutter
Rob Zombie has some good material
Oratorio, if you can find some... It's a new band.
Ensiferum has some good shit...
Kreator - Violent Revolution (nice album...)
Everything from Emperor
Everything from Lullacry
and...
Rhapsody is good... LOL... Just kidding. It can't get much worse than that. Do not dl any Rhapsody.
