Share the most intense, powerful music you know.

[wammnebu]

Be sure to check out Londo comments on the war in youtube in order to get the full effect of the music.

 

[octafish]

This song is representing the human race, leaving our little solar system aboard Voyager I.

Skip James has magic fingers.

Oh Nina.

Suicide are a couple of strange men.

 

[Deathmageddon]

Just about anything by Devildriver. If you're looking for something more brutal, go with Sympathy's album, Anagogic Tyranny or maybe some Cannibal Corpse (Priests of Sodom is epic!)

 

[JayDub147]

Nothing more epic than some 2001 and God is an Astronaut:


Or, if you're mad as hell:

 

[WeAreStevo]

Bitches don't even know about my Van Canto

 

[Yokai]

Well. Awesome. I love music that makes you feel like your chest will explode from the sheer power behind it. Some of the posts in this thread seem to interpret intense and powerful as "music I really like", which often doesn't actually fit well with those adjectives. So the below are not my favorite songs--though they're all really really good--but are certainly the most intense and powerful I can think of.

Let's see, as usual, it's hard to pick just one...
Listen to them all with the volume all the way up, and use a subwoofer if you have one! Shake your whole goddamn house!
Oh, and really anything by Hans Zimmer--Basically the entire soundtracks of Pirates of the Carribean, The Last Samurai, and Inception are fucking amazing.

 

[Nazulu]

You want POWER!!?! I'll give you power.



and Tchaikovsky's Symphony 6 1st movement (sorry, couldn't find a video)

 

[teh_Canape]

lyrical?
instrumental?

 

[Luke5515]

I've got 3 for you
About the warsaw uprising
These two you need to listen to one after the other
John Lennon's Imagine
and A Perfect Circle's cover

The Lennon version just screams "We could save the world!"
The Perfect Circle version silently weeps "We could have saved the world"

 

[Scarecrow]

Thieves. Thieves and liars. Hypocrites and bastards...

This song gets my blood pumping.

Oh god I love this song, I'm glad somebody posted it.

OP: My choice:


Everything about this song is grand, epic and larger then life. If death doesn't come to take me in this way, I will be very disappointed.

 

[Ieyke]

There's some good stuff in here. Especially props to the APC version of Imagine.
But most of you seem to be confusing loud with powerful.

[Bad Cluster]

Those two are my favorites, the amount of awesome makes them pretty intense.

Switching to intense for real now.

Enjoy

 

[shadow_Fox81]

powerful.hmmmm.

i like that.

probably I wanna be sedated by the Rammones, nothing resonates quite like the simple power of punk

 

[LoFr3Eq]

can't get much more powerful really?

 

[smithy_2045]

Death Cab For Cutie's I Will Possess Your Heart really resonates with me, almost too much.

 

[bificommander]

And Yuki Kajiura is also awesome. See for instance


or its more upbeat version

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

'nuff said.

 

[iphonerose]

Cool playlist to make!
I would consider these intense..ish:

 

[ZehMadScientist]
