Theme music for Ogres

Hello all!

I am searching for theme music for ogres. My goal is to get this barbaric / mongolian flavored fantasy music.

[Edit 25.9] What kind of music people listen in general while playing with Ogres?

[Edit] I made a gathering thread to warseer about my quest http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?382436-Warhammer-battle-music-army-specific-theme-music&p=6944670#post6944670

The Sword...they're a heavy metal band, sing about norse gods, etc. Or did you mean more classical/instrumental?

That.

Imagine mournfang and stonehorn instead of elephants.

Basically a horn or two and lots of shouting. No melody to speak of. Anything more is certainly not Ogres.

Mine would probably be either this:
(Starts at around 1:04, with the beat of Ogre feet in the distance)
I can just imagine the distress of the troops inside a fortress as the ground literally shakes at the coming of the Ogres.

Or this.

Look up the song, 'Chosen Ones' by dream evil.  It's my warhammer theme song when i go to play.  I seriously encourage you to look it up. 

First thought:

As Tolkien and Middle Earth is already mentioned.. here is one more:

Battlelore

The band is heavily influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien stories. I used to listen to this band some 10 years ago.. not so much anymore tho'. Maybe I should.

Second thought:

Mongolian eh? Oh boy.. Wanna know what was the first thing which came to my mind? This:


Which is a Finnish cover version of this old eurovision song:


Atleast this is something very .. not-so-intelligent .. and something I believe some not so bright ogre could bellow out loud

Third thought:

What about Russia? I started my normal youtube roaming and I came to this one:


Which is actually quite heroic. A word of warning tho', I have absolutely no idea what it is about
But I think it is rather awesome song.

Or again something more comical? Everybody loves 90's..


This is far from heroic, or fantasy.. or anything you wanted.. Just came to my mind while listening some Russian music.

How about some drinking songs? I believe that's something where ogres are good at.

Thanks for replies. Actually it would probably be better to just ask what kind of music people use as theme music rather than making narrow cap trying to define what would be the type I would like

For Pirkkalalainen: I really have to say that (Being from Finland also) Frederik really has something ogreish

That definition of "mongolian" were pretty hard.. perhaps not the best description. I have heard some of these throat chants for example  , and it would be something that would be nice flavor to do "tribute" to ogre Bellowers. I am not saying that whole song would be that.

Orgrimmar theme has some elements i have

THIS song the first 40 seconds has that something that I am looking. For me modern guitars and instruments really isn't the themes I am looking for in RPG and fantasy hammer. Or this from total war.

My personal theme music for my ogres is...

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride, nobodys gonna slow me down, oh no, I got to keep on movin

For Pirkkalalainen: I really have to say that (Being from Finland also) Frederik really has something ogreish

Oh what a coincidence I suppose we finns can somehow relate with ogres..

Oh wow, I had almost forgot this throat singing. It really have potential to be an element in ogre theme music. 
And that first 40 seconds is pretty nice. I don't know if I can suggest anything you have not already listened to, but here is something I found with quick youtube roaming

Altan Urag - Blue Mark /Mongol soundtrack/

This is fast paced, does not have too much modern instruments and includes throat singing.

Tengger Cavalry - Leader Wolf (pagan folk version)

Somewhat the same as the previous one but more modern and a bit heavier maybe.
And it is actually the same band you had a clip from oh well.. here is the collection I found these two songs.

Hope you can find something and welcome to the forums!

There was a guy making battle reports for his ogres a while back and he used this song in his intro.
I alway have that song in my head when I put my army on the battlefield

"Eat It," by Weird Al.

This "demon god" song from Princess Mononoke:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjIcgfthEmM

And this part of Imagine the fire (Dark Knight Rises)  - starting at 2:42
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO2uPU53qds&feature=player_detailpage#t=163

I like to imagine my ogres marching through the fog, the enemy completely paralyzed by the sight of my army as the appear: BIG. HUGE. STRONG.

This.

I have no idea why. It just seems to fit them so well.

Probably also because it's for a big fat guy who eats his enemies in a fantasy world.

Look up the song, 'Chosen Ones' by dream evil.  It's my warhammer theme song when i go to play.  I seriously encourage you to look it up. 

Now you sir are a legend!

here the most suitable song for a mournfang cavalary charge...

this song had some flavors that I could see fitting for ogre. Specially part that starts about 1 min 4 sek All though singer is too pretty to be Bellower

I know it is cheap, cheesy and horrible but theme-song anybody:

?? : )

Very tribal and intimidating.

Although it may not fit your theme, I always like to start any fantasy game (esp Ogres) with a quick hit of "dogs of war" by Pink Floyd


Failing that I am pretty much a traditionalist so;

For whom the bell tolls- Metallica
This means war- ACDC
Entrails...(can't print the rest, too offensive!)- Cannibal Corpse
Hammer smashed face- Cannibal Corpse
The trooper- Iron Maiden
I hate you- The Exploited
Anything by Hatebreed
Anything by Dragonforce
That Dream Theatre song is pretty damn good too!
I doubt that helps much, but that's me!

Every suggestion is good and this isn't just about me. Perhaps someone else finds new songs to listen. And for me that hatebreed was a new artist that I haven't heard of. So perhaps these suggestions could bring up a band to listen off gaming

Here is a fine example from other forum list=PLE1317E356A36A8F9 this song is imo very fantasy flavored (perhaps not ogrish per se) but main genre of the band isn't the type I personally would listen while FB / RPG So just listening band with overall view I would have discarded it for this purpose.

Very tribal and intimidating.

Excellent!

The eternal theme music for my tribe: [/url]

Crappy 16-bit BGM, but it's been stuck in my head basically since 1995.  Use a bit of imagination and think of how it'd sound as arranged by the late, great Basil Poledouris (guy that did the music for the original 1982 Conan the Barbarian movie).
