Tyranid Battle Music

[squidy]

I found some song that I think fit well with some of the Tyranid pieces of fluff. Here they are:

Fall of Iyanden (Danny Cocke-Full Circle)
Swarmlord Entering the Battle of Macragge(Celldweller-Narrow Escape)
The Fall of Tyrann (Dead Space Soundtrack-I Left My Heart in a Med Lab)

Anyone else have any songs that they think fit well with Tyranid pieces of fluff? ;D

I felt the first two were a bit short, and the ended rather suddenly too. But then again, when I think of Tyranid/40k music, I think of stuff that's 4 or more minutes and transitions well into other music, so that I can play a whole playlist of songs during a game.

I don't have any Tyranid Songs, but a friend did send me 2 Ork songs that were made specifically for 40k Orks.

Would you be prepared to share the names of these?

Tyranid songs?
I have a huuuuuuge amount of that stuff! In fact I have written a song-fanfiction about a playlist of 25 songs that imo fit totally great to the tyranid fluff.

The number one tyranid-song for me is Zoat-Äons Totem Owl, it's a pity you can't hear it on youtube.

(Silent Hills soundtracks definitely give me the right feeling of our beloved terror from outer space

And of course every tyranid player should now this song

Personal preference: given the nature of the Tyranids I think that Schoenberg is appropriate. It's atonal, and thus can be a bit alarming--but it's guaranteed to unnerve your opponent as they encounter your vicious, ravenous horde. "Nacht" is a good one, and a full 30 minutes long.

Alternately, Philip Glass's Akhnaten is excellent as well. it's a 46 minute piece.

If you are looking for something more arousing, more up-beat, God Speed You! Black Emperor's album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven. The entire album is an hour and a half long, so it should suit you well.

All of these are available on youtube, by the way.

Hope this helps!

I've always thought that the really lo-fi white noise Black Metal suited Nids pretty well. The stuff where it's sometimes difficult to tell that what you're hearing is actually intentionally produced sound, let alone music. Burzum is probably my favorite in that vein.

The really hardcore Dark Ambient stuff like Dirty Knobs or some of Brion Lustmord's work can be good, too, especially if you've got a good enough sound system to really do it justice.

Hey, WestRider, check out Starflyer 59s album "Silver". Ambient sludge at it's finest. Very eerie, very Tyranid.

Danke! I'll give 'em a spin.

Yup, from Washington. xD

Anyway, I like the music you've guys come up with. Good stuff. ;D

I would recommend looking into the Starcraft 2 Zerg Music (Blasphemy!) as it has a very harsh yet organic nastiness to it. I\m not sure how easy it would be to come by but I received a music CD with my collectors edition and it is excellent stuff.

Slight Necro, but good thread

If you want a good theme for a Genestealer Cult, look no further ->
Raw, gritty, and the lyrics almost sound like something trying to stave off the influence of the Hive Mind yet slowly succumbing to its influence.

[benseek24]

Hive fleet names are often from Greek and roman mythology eg. Hive fleet hydra

[jonagorn]

No, just no. The only sounds that should follow when Tyranids hunt are screams of pain and absolute terror.

[tanagra]

This is one of the songs I play heavily when assembling nids, painting nids or making an army list.

It just screams "You better ******* run. They're coming to get you..."


Or really, almost anything from the first Resident Evil soundtrack. It just has this foreboding sense to it, exactly like what you would expect in a Tyranid Invasion.

All forms are escape are closing fast. If you can't get out, you're lunch meat.
