What Heavy Metal Song Would Be Best Suited For An Xcom Main Theme?

I personally think Warriors Of The World United by Manowar would be best. The whole song goes:

 

Here I see you stand from all around the world

Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry

All are gathered here, victory is near

The sound will fill the hall, bringing power to us all

 

 

We alone are fighting for metal that is true

We own the right to live the fight, we're here for all of you

Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry

Stand and fight together beneath the battle sky

 

[Chorus:]

Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air

We're warriors, warriors of the world

Like thunder from the sky - sworn to fight and die

We're warriors, warriors of the world

 

Many stand against us, but they will never win

We said we would return and here we are again

To bring them all destruction, suffering and pain

We are the hammer of the gods, we are thunder, wind and rain.

 

There they wait in fear with swords in feeble hands

With dreams to be a king, first one should be a man

I call about and charge them all with a life that is a lie

And in their final hour they shall confess before they die

 

[Repeat chorus]

 

If I should fall in battle, my brothers who fight by my side

Gather my horse and weapons, tell my family how I died

Until then I will be strong, I will fight for all that is real

All who stand in my way will die by steel

 

Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air

We're warriors, warriors of the world

 

 

Execpt for the fighting for metal that is true, the song is actually pretty damn good for an XCOM theme.

Not bad..how about Megadeth's "HANGAR 18"? Agent Steel "Agents Of Steel" or "Taken By Force"?

I take slightly darker approach.

 

 

Bathory - Death From Above

 

 

Wright Cyclone thunder coming closer mid day time

From thirty thousand feet the 452 Group in clear sky

Beholds the city laid out like a carpet drown below

Still the fires from last nights attack among the rubble glows

 

Black puffs the anti-aircraft guns has come alive

As the mighty eight approaches high up in the sky

 

Death From Above

 

From the bellies of the flying fortresses in olive drab

Hells fire pouring down upon the earth

Incendiary high explosives falling through the sky

To detonate at ground level to enflame to kill to burn

 

Bombs away heading west 452 Group returns to base

All land below engulfed in smoke the city is ablaze

 

Death From Above

 

Again at night the roar of engines in the dark above

The Merlin rumble now 514 Sqadron has arrived

With bellies full of daeth and bomb doors open wide

To destroy what 542 Group may have left behind

 

The pathfinders unloads a colour full veil glow so bright

And the rubble city down below burn throughout the night

 

Death From Above
