Hello my nerdy brethren. I am hosting a D&D session soon, its going to be about 12-15 hours of content, and I need some reasonably dank music for the inevitable combats.
I have a small library of songs I go to, but I could use more in my arsenal.
Down below are some examples of stuff I use / have used in the past to give you an idea of what I'm looking for.

I need more songs like this in my pocket to keep the mood going.
It does have that kind of epic movie fight scene vibe going for it, doesn't it? Which is kind of why I thought to suggest it. That and it's powerful and exciting while being restrained enough, I think, that it shouldn't interfere with the game.
Also, I'm a tiny bit jealous. My old DM never thought to use cool music to go with the fights! The members of your group should consider themselves lucky you go to this kind of effort!

Oh you come to the right person LOL. I am a dungeon master myself and I frequently listen to various video game soundtracks movie soundtracks and classical pieces to find fitting music for specific battles. If you’re looking for just general songs I can help you out. However, if you’re looking for more specific songs like for a specific scenario please feel free to reply below this comment.
I could go on if you want me too LOL. And again if you need more specific sort of scenarios like a battle at sea or a battle in a forest or battling a certain kind of monster please feel free to reply. Hope these help.

I know right! Octopath Traveler has one of the best soundtracks in my opinion. If my players knew how often I used it’s soundtrack for battles, setting the sceneries of towns/locations, and overall conveying certain feelings they would think I’m obsessed with the game (which I am at times). It just has a perfect soundtrack for my style of DMing. Glad you liked the picks!

I'm assuming you want instrumental pieces more than anything else. In the off chance you'd be interested in lyrical words, have some Within Temptation: https://youtu.be/PhjKjtdu-_c

Unlimited SaGa is a game with a fantastic soundtrack, amazing hand painted world and a boardgame like world map and dungeons.. too bad it teaches you almost nothing about how to play/survive it. I also suggest SaGa Frontier 2's music. Has some real gems. Though it is ps2 and sounds it. Im big on game music.
Yoko taro games and their awesome soundtracks. =3 Unlimited SaGa is a game with a fantastic soundt
I've found that some of the medieval Star Wars music I've come across works well for a variety of settings and situations. Try searching "bardcore" and the many suggestions that pop up are sure to provide a soundtrack or some sort of inspiration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnOEGvEKFSQ Personally, I find that even songs like "Through the Fire and Flames" come across as better for a tavern, festival or street faire, but it might be a fun way to award small bonuses to players who recognize the songs, or as a way to help set the tone for a scene as you're describing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMkid3XhyyE
Count yourself lucky if your group likes that sort of stuff, mine yelled at me for "forcing a mood on their characters" when I tried adding thematic music.
Belatedly, but I didn't notice anyone mentioning Shadow of the Colossus (https://www.youtube.com/pla
