Grimdark /m/ tunes

Oh, bonus points if the tune evokes imagery of something like heavy machinery moving around like 'Follow' or 'Battlefield' do.
It's kind of hard to describe, but I think you know what I mean.

Intruders from FM4 maybe?

Not really /m/ but some of the Ghosts tracks from NIN could be what you're looking for.
Ghosts 31 & 32. 32 is in the video. Which itself is pretty /m/ I guess.

no, trust me

just listen

im serious

You may not consider Air Combat a true /m/ material, but still.

Man the music for Verdict Day is great but there is so much other shit in the game making noise that it's impossible to hear any of it.

>>11166452
soviet music should work for that heavy machinery feel

Armored core dont have the right set on the audio, the music is always lower that the rest of the noise

>>11166452
>fairly modern/industrial and while it can be totally badass, I don't want it to sound particularly heroic or glorifying

Get the OST from Argento Soma, it has some great stuff in that vein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMuOSZQD5QU&index=17&list=PL3926696A37CCAF11

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00CzxOOrWxQ&list=PL3926696A37CCAF11&index=12

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DGyEKpRDKg&list=PL3926696A37CCAF11&index=14

>>11166932
Speaking of Argento Soma, if I liked Betterman, and liking M3, will I probably like Argento Soma?

>>11166974
Probably, I like all three and think it's the best of them, M3 being a distant third.

Very fucking cool OP. Bumping for you. I feel like I should have a few of these somewhere to add. I like the mechanical industrial sounds in some of these. I feel like some of the Mechwarrior games would have a handful of songs fitting what youre looking for.

>>11166974
120% chance.

>>11166755
Meh. If we are aiming for Soviet music, why not at least go for something from Russia (if not actual Soviet music - which might be too heroic for op).

Lube perhaps?

Everyone, thanks so much for the replies. Even if I'm not using these, there's still some great stuff here.

>>11166653
Good track but might be a little too electronic.
>>11166675
TY for these, especially 32!
>>11166716
Interesting pick. It's not quite what I'm looking for but it's a good track. Even reminds me of one of the tracks that plays during the final boss battle of Legend of Dragoon. Man, that takes me back.
>>11166733
It's /m/ enough. That's a good track but not quite what I'm after. It's a little too upbeat, I guess. It's a really fun track though. Going into another playlist of mine.
>>11166755
Command and Conquer has some great music for this kind of thing, you're right. 'Link Up' was always a favourite of mine.
>>11166775
Not too dark but still great music. All going into other lists of mine.
>>11166932
I've actually got the Argento Soma OST and yes, there's some fantastic stuff on it. Those are some good choices. 'Primary Tactics' is another good one.
I am somewhat sad that DJ K Hasegawa only did one of the battle tracks. His work on that had that 'late 90's cyberpunk' feel I really dug. That reminds me, I started Platinumhugen Ordian recently and the soundtrack is similar to the Hasegawa tracks and some of the ZOE 1 tracks. I'll have to hunt it down later.
>>11167823
Well, those were certainly something.

Appreciate the bump. Also, if you want some more of what I've got, there's also these tracks too. I left them out earlier because I figured my OP was already long enough. Here they are.

You just reminded me that I had a cassette of that as a kid in the early 90's. Damn, that takes me way back.

>>11166752
>>11166820
Why not just change the settings? I always set it so BGM is slightly louder than SFX.

>>11166452
Saw (the horror movie series) OST's
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBiPTOLCGz4

The Dawn of War 2 sound track probably has some suitable music.

>>11170654
It's great

>>11170654
Got it, will take a look.

Mechwarrior 2 and 4 mercenaries indeed have some good metal songs.

And remember kids. Allways be properly awake and aware before copy pasting anything.

I know this is too much to ask but, do you have a Youtube playlist, OP?

>>11175596
Sadly no, because youtube always gives me trouble when I visit back home and try to log into my account from there (like now) and I only just came up with the idea in the last couple days.

I know it's not much but since all the youtube links are in this thread, it should make it a bit easier to make the playlist if you wanted to, right?

Also, here are some more tracks since it's the best I can do.

>>11169302
Wouldn't have thought of that. I'll need to take a look through some more. Thanks.

These may not be all /m/ in origin, but they should fit what you're looking for, unless some of them pass as TOO dramatic

Armored Core 3's "Artificial Sky" should go without saying
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79AF0vfvJpo

AC2's "King Lear" is also fantastic, would be fitting for a final grand battle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czvJtf28-F0

Twisted Metal: Black also had some great music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4OIM5jiIO0

"Unstoppable" by E.S. Posthumus is befitting of a final ultimate weapon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoaUYcwEpSw

Not /m/, nor a battle track but definitely fitting, I think.

Silent Hill 3 - Break Reality.

http://www.silenthillmemories.net/music/downloads/sh3_aethryix_soundtrack/40%20-%20Break%20Reality.mp3

Really conjures up the imagery for me of a big, mecha army getting ready to really fuck something up.

>>11177072
Thanks. Definitely some good stuff in there.
'Unstoppable' and 'Gateway to Destiny' were what did it for me though. Great tracks.

>>11181470
>>11181540
TY!

Also, I forgot to put this track earlier.
I think it fits pretty well.

Yo. My youtube decided to let me log in so I went ahead and did this. You're welcome.
If your suggestion isn't there, try not to hate me too much.

Also, try not to laugh too hard at my user name. I came up with it years and years ago when I was trying to name some monster I did a design for.

AC3 has some pretty good Music.

I'm a bit worried that it doesn't quite fit the criteria, but Monster Machine is pretty balls to the wall.

>>11184346
Thank you sir

>>11184464
>Fitting the criteria?
Not quite...
>Balls to the wall awesome?
Yes. So much so.

Hey Op, if you want uncaring machines doing machine things with cold efficiency, Mechwarrior 2 and Mercenaries should be right up your alley:

It may be short but this song was the best from Armored Core 4

>>11188447
Whoops forgot the link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjRdRvYj3_s

So, the list's been updated.

>>11187212
I like that Pyre Light one. The others are good but not quite what I'm after.
>>11188450
Again, a great track but not exactly the criteria I was looking for.
