Looking for good opera music to play while blowing sh1t up.

[SALvation]

I just realized I could play Winamp while I'm fragging people in Serious Sam. What's some good music to play while doing so?

Opera music only works if you're playing in slow motion. 🙂

 

[NFS4]

That opera music from the "alien ass-kicking scene" in The Fifth Element should do the trick just fine!! 😀

 

[Ameesh]

Carmina Burana by Carl Orff is always used in movies for stuff like that.

 

[Fausto]

Battle of 1812 isn't opera, but it is a loud-ass symphony....with cannons even!😉

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Nightwish
Blind Guardian

Powerman 5000's "Bombshell" or "When Worlds Collide"
Jimi Hendrix's "light my fire"
Offspring's "Bad Habit" or "burn it up"
Lacuna Coil's "When a dead man walks"
Moonspell's "Raven Claws"
Static-X's "Push It" or "Get to the Gone"
Rob Zombie's "Scum of the Earth"

That oughtta get you started 🙂

Edit: I know they aren't Opera, though the first two bands are like Heavy Metal Opera. That's what I put on when I go to blow stuff up.

1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky, although not an opera, would be appropriate background music for blowing sh1t up.

Stabbing Westward - Ungod (the whole cd)
ICP

Btw, some songs in particular from the two bands at the top, Nightwish's "Angels Fall First" is excellent when running an invasion of an enemy's pad. There's just something interesting about a darkly angelic sounding song that just gets you in the mood to stuff someone. Blind Guardian's "Another Holy War" is a good starter while "And the Story Ends" is a killer ending song. And it is just a coincidence that they all start with "A".
