It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

I'm planning a Mörk Borg game with my friends. For the uninitiated, it's a table top RPG game that describes itself as

A DOOM METAL album of a game. A spiked FLAIL to the Face. Light on RULES, Heavy Every-thing Else.

The art and setting are very German/Euro metal inspired.

I myself enjoy listening to metal periodically, but I'm a casual fan. I want to build a background playlist to help ground the players in it's art and style.

I'm thinking light/low vocal Black / Doom / Death / Prog metal. Looking for music that drives the listeners to action while avoiding taking over center stage.

So far I have grabbed some Igorr, some DOOM 2016 Soundtrack, some Rigor Mortis, Inferi, Cannibal Corpse, and a bunch of random stuff from Spotify suggestions, though I'm struggling to really make it a cohesive vibe.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Thank you all so much for the help! This is awesome! What a great community.

the band bolt thrower

That's pretty low on the list for a band that writes songs about Warhammer.

in my memory they had cleaner vocals which would distract my adhd brain so i had to listen to them while writing the list, turns out they'd work for me ;)
