Hopefully this thread is alright to post.
For the past two and a half decades, I have only listened to metal/rock music found in video games. Mostly melodic or instrumental rock with little to no vocals.
I'm not sure why, but I find metal/rock music in video games much more satisfying to listen to compared to what I hear on the local rock station, or places like Pandora.
There are some really talented musicians in the gaming industry and I'm hoping this thread serves as a collection of some great musical gems that are either well known or hidden within some not-so-well known video games.
A thread for people who just want to rock out and create the most awesome playlist ever imagined and perhaps look more into the games that feature this kind of music.
