I'd like to make a poll of the most epic, inspiring, "charge towards the enemy" game soundtrack ever.

The rules are easy:
Pick max. 3 game soundtracks you find the most epic and leave links to them (so others can listen to them and compare).
After we get long enough list (15-20 titles) there will be some voting involved ;)

I'll start:
- WAR OF THE WORLDS - The whole soundtrack, but track no. 7 is just... Wow!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-vUe7OpVw0#

- BLACK MOON CHRONICLES - Again, the whole soundtrack, but let's just say: track no. 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PypvWY2f3_c&index=2&list=PLF120EBCE7906D837

- SKYRIM - Dovahkiin/Dragonborn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3rmcSzb6XE

What are your choices?

I can think of many soundtracks, but EPIC music and GOD OF WAR go hand and hand:

We bring only death, and leave only carrion. It is a message even a Human can understand.

For the Craftworld!

Is it wrong that I thought I was listening something from Warcraft?

Well given where does Warcraft draw its inspiration from... Not really.

Great! I wanted to add Warhammer 40k Chaos Gate: Ultramarines hymn, but had to choose only 3 titles... So I'm glad someone else suggested Warhammer instead :)

The Battle with Death -- Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiaJqvrd2V4
Unfinished Battle with God Syndrome -- Valkyrie Profile (here performed live; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRYfMEdnXsk is a good companion track too.)

Special mention because this is a remix and the originals are on the Game Boy/Game Boy Advance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2xbpRUdDw0

(Incidentally, for those who like 'epic' music more in tune with the first link above, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL99947DE69ED46DB0 is likely to be of interest.)

Oh I'm sure I could fill the whole post by 40k music :-P You really can't get much more epic than WH40k

I have MANY preferences in epic battle soundtracks, but I'll limit myself to two that most people (sadly) never notice:

- Balance Slays the Demon (from Alan Wake: American Nightmare)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-SGqKUgaaw
If only there was a full album of songs like this (or songs of them as "Old Gods of Asguard")

- Vacant Interference (from Ys SEVEN)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CLYKYqZJ0w
The Ys series always have epic battle music, but here, they've surpassed themselves.

Well, dunno about the "epic" part but here are some examples of "charge at the enemy" stuff (with a comment to boot):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIhG_C6nOuc "No cover, all man"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3rGO2WhZGg "Die Waffen Legt An!"
(And here's a live version of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_qPFFem6UU )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5Q4FOSPSx0 "Personally saw him cut down twenty men in a blink of an eye"
