Your Tyranid Theme Song

[undertow92182]

Most of us don't simply sit in silence while painting or assembling models. Some of us might even want to get ourselves pumped up for gaming. Some may have merely heard a song and said "Wow, that reminds me of Tyranids."

No matter why or how, most of us have a song we associate with our little bugs of doom. I invite all of you to share what song inspires you to step into that hivemind role and lead your swarm to victory! Youtube links to said songs welcomed!

Note: This is a family friendly board. If your song has explicit lyrics please do your best to note that with the link.

My example makes me think of a Genestealer Cult coming back into synapse with a greater hivemind: KoRn ft. Skrillex - Get up! (Warning Explicit) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpCaTdl_u9U
I'm not one for dubstep usually, but the lyrics and use of chaotic tones just make me think of one's mind being overtaken by a superior force of will.

Honestly, when I'm getting ready to actually play, I usually listen to something relaxing. German pop, Tegan & Sara, Scandinavian folk, Bach, stuff like that.

What I most associate with Nids, tho, is really lo-fi white noise black metal. Stuff like Burzum, Summoning's first album, early Immortal, that sort of thing. Or maybe dark ambient stuff like Dirty Knobs, really cranked. That's what I figure the Shadow in the Warp would feel like.

I'll be honest, when painting I like to have golf on the tv in the background. Not quite the pump up music to be expected...
We did have the Killzone 3 soundtrack going when playing space hulk last week. www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL88F676028249D45D
The starship troopers and Aliens soundtracks are great too. I had those going when we played through the IA4 anphelion project missions an couple of years back. Usually we have a low background noise of film soundtracks on play. Its quite amusing if a music piece just happens to fit the action on the tabletop at the right time. eg Kick Ass soundtrack 'The Armenian superhero' ends with a crashing sound. This happen once just as I had failed a grounding test for one of my FMC. Quite apt.

Lots of movie or gaming soundtracks for me. Heavy Gear and Mechwarrior are high rotation while painting.

I'm kind of going for a Desert theme for my bugs and I've settled on Hive Fleet Sandstorm for the name.  Naturally, Sandstorm by Darude is what comes to mind.

Usually when I'm painting, I'm watching something on netflix.  However, when I do listen to music and paint/assemble - its something like Animals as Leaders or Diablo Swing Orchestra.

Dark Ambient all the way!

Totem Owl by Zoät Aon is just like listening to the shadow of the warp.

Dude. I managed to find a copy of Star Autopsy and this album is messing me up. Excellent stuff, thanks for the rec!

[Silegy]

When Im assembling, I like to listen to some podcasts (State of Exile most of the time).

When playing, I prefer electronic music. Hands Up, Dance, Dancecore, Hardstyle,...

[swarm492]

My nids are the harbingers of metal.

Straight up theme song:

TROGDOR THE BURNINIATOR!!!!

Sorry, title can only every be shouted in full caps, with stupid number of exclamations. It's the law.
Oh, and during a game you don't necessarily play it, so much as scream it at your opponent.

[GuardDog78]

The screeching most psykers hear in there heads from my hive fleets shadow sounds very similar to Kerry King guitar solos...

[doomreaper9]

My song would be indestructible by distrubed. I usually play right before I go to play someone at my gaming store.

[glassiya]

as a funny moment - this song has surprisingly acute lyrics:

I'm stuck in your head
I'm back from the dead
Got you running scared
I'm fearless
I'm calling you out
I'm taking you down
Don't you come around
I'm fearless

but the song itself? not so much.

Hey, how ya doin'?

I'll usually throw my iPod on shuffle when I'm painting though recently I've been listening to the Hotline Miami soundtracks.

So have I! Divide by Magna messes me up. I also second that the lo-fi black metal seems very much in line with the Shadow of the Warp. I would like to listen to that kind of music more, but I don't know where to start, really.
