What would your battle theme be? I think I'd be something inbetween these two...

Really, I'd have to say it would be something like this:

But with more of a steampunk/western feel to it, like:

Ah, but I'm mostly just nostalgia'ing right now. Metal Western Steampunk theme would be badass, though.

Some really powerful orchestral piece, deep sounding, but relatively well-paced too.

Orchestral pieces!

Staying at anime I'd choose Dance of Course from Escaflowne
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1XYmt17lC8&fmt=18

Or anything from the Total Annihilation OST

A fusion of 'Requiem for a dream' and 'one winged angel' all orchestral with heavy percussion.

You can't beat the greats.

Night on Bald Mountain. or In the Hall of the Mountain King. Some of the Slavonic Dances are good too.

There's no way I'm paying royalties when I can get better music in the public domain.

Ode To Road Rage by Viktor Vaughn (MF. Doom)

or

Super Rifle by Gogol Bordello (actually anything by Gogol)

Now that is real battle music if you ask me 8)

Humumum...

Something like

and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj90Vcq2Kic

Mostly applying the second's style to the first. Including massively awesome solos.

But if I had to pick a standalone (no mixing)

My first mod, mostly done, still balance testing.

My theme would have to be (even tho it says "she"... in-game it would be sans-lyrics):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVNhZ1rNHGs
Can anyone place what video game that's from?

OR... It's not exactly a theme song... but listen to it anyways

For the record... that's a violin you're hearing.
