Target (Mechanical Man)
Frank Klepacki
Command & Conquer
An original song from the game that started all things C&C. The voice that pops up throughout the song inspired me almost a decade ago to come up with a cyborg soldier, codenamed the 'Mechanical Man.' This individual has gone through many changes over the years, including the exclusion of the cyborg concept and adoption of a mechanical demeanor in the line of fire, however even that's gone to the wayside and been replaced with a cynical sarcasm the likes of which we see in one Anthony Dinozo, NCIS.
Those in Knight Hunters: Project Shine know the final version as Joel Anson Pierce.

Killing Machine
Frank Klepacki
C&C Tiberian Sun: Firestorm
Everytime I hear this song I can't help but picture Mechalith going on a shooting rampage and simply rolling through everyone that stands in their path.

WWIII
KMFDM
WWIII
Picture a lazy day in the bayou. A couple old fogeys sit on their porch, one strumming a guitar, a dog barking in the background. The guitarist picks up the pace, strumming a few quick licks. Without warning a B-1B Lancer screams overhead and enters a warzone, bringing all kinds of pain to whatever sorry bastards are on the ground. Mechanized infantry are fighting a pitched battle with defenders of a burning city. Helicopters roll in, unleashing a torrent of cannon fire, rockets, and guided missiles.
But it doesn't stop there. Oh god no. The tanks roll in, artillery lobbing High Explosive Point Det at what's left of the city. The attackers break through a finally shattered defense line, killing all, even those who throw their weapons down and hands up. The battle is now nothing short of wholesale slaughter, sanctioned by a merciless nation born of mercenaries.
And yes, I'm talking about Dystopia. Fuck you. You'll see this song show up somewhere in Iwaku World.
More to come!

Holy Diver - Killswitch Engage
(The song is a Dio Cover, but this version inspired me)
Remember Curse of the Wounded King? well my character, the Necromancer Dieter Heydrich was came from a daydream i had listening to this song.
taking a step to each riff he ran towards my mind's eye, at the solo the mind-camera swivelled to watch as he fought off a hoarde of Militia, black lightning and axework cutting a swath.
so yeah.

I have multitudes of songs that inspire my characters, posts, and RPs, so it's easier to go by artist:
Unsun, Powerman5000, Fear Factory, Shiny Toy Guns, Metallica, Apocalyptica, Lady Gaga, Anberlin, Alexisonfire, DJ Tiesto, Eskimo Joe, Flyleaf, Mindless Self Indulgence, Sick Puppies, January Jaunt, Ladytron, Nightwish, Nine Inch Nails, Ocean Lab, Orbital, Orgy, Our Lady Peace, Owl City, PAIN, Paul Van Dyke, September, Serebro, SR-71, Sugarbabes, BT, Within Temptation, Uh Huh Her, Linkin Park, Tatu, Chevell, Slipknot......
there's more, but I'm lazy...
Anyways, I'm the result of a musical gangbang. I love calming trance just as much as I love listening to heavy or industrial or death metal. I'm all over the genre charts.
