If you want to play Master of Puppets with your friends but only 1 of you can play an instrument, then I can recommend to watch this before:

Does this count?

[Outlaw-Jack•]

I can't stop listening to it. It's distracting me from my writing. Help.



And before you say it... I much prefer this version over Radiohead's version.

[Sir monacle]

I was strolling YouTube when I came upon this, I remember buying the Tearaway soundtrack for my PsVita, This one being one of my favourites from the soundtrack, I had to post it here.

[TenebrisNemo]

Played this masterpiece some time ago, and I guess this song will be in my mind for eternity.

A nice parody of Tim burton's: "Nightmare before Christmas" song:

"Making Christmas"

I've been listening to Wax Fang a lot lately, mostly their "The Astronaut" and "La La Land" albums. Here's a great song to get started



I suggest listening to their full albums as a whole. Available on Spotify

Uh, here's the original:

[CuriousSack]

I'm in a nostalgic mood and I really love this one...

[TenebrisNemo]

Something to do? Check. It's important and you have to do it within a time limit? Check. Power-boost music? Check.

Bring it on.

After watching a speedrun of Einhander, it definitely has an awesome electronic soundtrack.

[Sir monacle]

This song suites the game perfectly, rather interesting too.

Theatre of Pain

Blind Guardian

This is one of my many all time favorite soundtracks which exist. I find the lyrics amazing and the song itself has a special melody. Not to mention, the song definitely has a deep meaning. However, it's based on the fantasy novel "The Merman's Children" by Poul Anderson. I should read it. xD

The german power metal band is Blind Guardian and it's been around since 1984. The song "Theatre of Pain" is from their 4th studio album "Somewhere Far Beyond". Album was released 30th June 1992.

Lyrics

The giant's lost
And all round him
Destructed for what?
They all knew what it meant
But they couldn't change it
Lord, they had gone too far
Leave them alone

It's all gone
What is left behind
On a desert we called Earth
When the last whale went away
Did they ever see the tears?

Don't fear your last step
From the Theatre of Pain
And the children will love your singing
From the sea
The sea is calling
Now we've to leave it

The sea was clear
On the day I was stranded
Answers I'd known
To keep this all alive
But I can't change it
Forever

(Solo)

Now I'm gone
And it seems that life had never existed
So we left the dark and cold
All I left behind are my tears

Don't fear your last step
From the Theatre of Pain
And the children will love your singing
From the sea
The sea is calling
I hear them calling

And here's the orchestrated version of the song. It's from a compilation album "The Forgotten Tales" which was released April 16th 1996.
