CUT TO -

DESERT WASTES.

Rocky outcroppings incise a dreary, dusty landscape.  Sparse sands blow across the ground.  Offscreen, we are approached by tired, booted footfalls.  Less distinct is the sound of a rapidly approaching insect, but it cuts across the channels to intercept those footfalls.  A man grunts, more out of surprise than pain, and we hear his blood spilling in the sand.  A mantis rears its head into view, its compound eyes somehow focusing in on us.



Your entries:

• no lyrics (chanting is ok)
• short, preferably less than 2 minutes (exceptions allowed)
• appropriately themed
• multiple entries are fine!

Something like this.

This

Yes, good mood.

Too long, but the back half of the song might fit.

really though I'm just waiting for Delirium to come in here with 99999 awesome ideas

[Malken]

There's only one song that would fit well and it's this one:

Some excellent entries but THIS is the one that captures Armageddon best. Sun and sand, weirdos and F-Me PCs, combat and celebrations it has it all! (There is even a cameo from a black robe!)

Edit: Well my PCs anyway.

[Zoan]

I vote that Game of Thrones a capella Minecraft did.

...  Or the theme music from any Stanley Kubrick movie.  I listen to tons of instrumental and classical music, but those songs tend to be much longer than 2 minutes.

[Zoan]

Alternatively: Just like, 3.30 minute loop of the Wilhelm scream, with the T'zai Byn sigil superimposed over the shield wall.

[ShaLeah]

I have two I associate with LeArm.

Le Serious
Le n'est pas serious

[montarion]

This one here.

[boog]

No lyrics? Really?

Because like, "Bring on the Night" would be fantastic. SINCE THAT IS THE ONLY TIME I CAN PLAY.

[CodeMaster]

Rules are meant to be broken... this one?

Chanting? Somebody should chant this:

Quid habet amplius homo de universo labore suo, quo laborat sub sole?
Generatio præterit, et generatio advenit: terra autem in æternum stat.
Non est priorum memoria: sed nec eorum quidem, quæ postea futura sunt, erit recordatio apud eos, qui futuri sunt in novissimo.
Cumque me convertissem ad universa opera, quæ fecerant manus meæ, et ad labores, in quibus frustra sudaveram, vidi in omnibus vanitatem et afflictionem animi, et nihil permanere sub sole.

[Delirium]

Far From Any Road might fit the mood you describe in the OP.

It really depends on what mood you're trying to set when you log in. Dusty desert loner? Hardcore combat army guy? Stealthy assassin?

Those things are all important considerations.

I would have thought "In The Heat of the Night" is when you loose control boog? Besides Sandra is a lot more fashionable than Sting!

Two Steps From Hell - Dark Ages

Hear that hiss at the start of the song? That's totally your mantis.

If you're making some sort of Armageddon visual trailer thing (based on your other posts and this one, you should!), you should totally check out other Two Steps From Hell tracks to set it to, too.

[Zoan]

We might have fun with this, but IRE muds actually do this (have login title theme songs. They're actually pretty awesome).

[Lizzie]

If the login screen was for a narcissistic rogue elkran showing up in the Gaj:

(tempted to try that some time)

[Cutthroat]

Saladin's Theme - Civilization IV Soundtrack

Quite a bit less intense than some of the other suggestions, but I think it gets the traveling through the desert part right.

[lordcooper]

It should vary depending on where you're playing.

Allanak (for obvious reasons)
Tuluk (I feel that this one captures the 'hidden' dark side of Tuluk pretty well)
Luirs (Yeah, we'll skip the intro)
Tan Muark (not too sure about this one, but it seems to go well given recent events)
Red Storm ()

Some awesome entries!  Here's another couple that bend the rules a bit:

Rahnevyn, I have no video editing or artistic skills, but I might take a stab at it. Barring the professional voice acting and the cartoon at the end, I wonder if something like this would be do-able.

Thread necromancy.  Anything dune-related is going to go well with Arm...
