I love heavy metal music and I love Sabaton, a Swedish metal band whose lyrics are mostly about war.

My screensaver at my workplace is taken from the song "Talvisota": "Rise, nation's pride, hold what's yours, strike'em where it hurts! Fight, hold your ground, winter war, reinforce the line!"

think this will be good work music for me, when I am swinging my Sledge hammer and the part don't want to move !

(my first Hammer I made at work, I named Mjollnir, 16 pound sledge on a mallet shaft, the eng's seen it, they came over to tell me, it wouldn't be of any use, as I couldn't swing it, I showed them they were wrong (a very good friend of mine, his GF, was a blacksmith ( thinking spare time) and she used something like that too)

so far, like Art of War

(don't know though, feel like I should be swinging a sword then plotting to attack a river line :)

Although their stage presence/show gets old after you've seen it a few times, the music's nice.

I agree, Floyd would go good.

I was almost going to suggest Gunner's Dream (one of the coolest tunes ever) but i guess that really is more of a western front song.

P.S. Agreed; When the Tigers broke free is also a killer tune.

You should be listening to Shostakovich's 7th, written inside Leningrad during the siege. That will help you capture the grim determination which was the Russian psyche during the war

I'm partial to classical for my ironmongering. Tchaikovsky gets me in the proper mood for some East Front gaming, nothing like the 1812 overture to get the blood flowing when I play the red hordes...

Its public domain, its about world war II and it was written (partially) in Leningrad and played a major part in the Soviet's propaganda campaign. Its a perfect fit.

Alternatively for those brief moments with the Finns, Sibelius's Finlandia.

Status: offline 		I'm fond of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries...besides being used by a Panzer Unit before an attack in WWII (well at least one author said he did) who could forget Col Kilgore's " put on a little psywar op...a little Romeo Foxtrot, shall we dance". The chaos of war, explosions, gunfire, incoming rounds, friendly fire (by the way, does WiTE account for friendly fire?) are set to that tune.

What would really be perfect if you could embed the CD with the scents of diesel, sweat, grime, grease, and "napalm...smells like victory" this would be the perfect wargame! LOL.

It already looks like a perfect game to me...ready to buy now! Or work on some what if scenarios!

I agree. As much as I like heavy metal, Pink Floyd or Rammstein, I think it doesn't go well with a game like WitE. I'd prefer music that isn't as intruisive as hard rock, so a good classical theme would be nice: Sjostakovitch or Dvorak's 9th New World Symphony.
Then again, it's always possible to have no ingame music, and have your own mediaplayer play the music you want.
