Not because it resembles the music from the game in any way, but because the vocalists in some of these death/thrash/nuclear/bananacream pie-metal bands sound like they've been dragged through a zerg-mixer.
Every time someone pushes one of these "songs" on me, I instantly get the feeling that I haven't positioned my siege tanks yet.

I also love Pain of Salvation, a Swedish prog-rock band. I've only gotten 1 of their albums yet (Remedy Lane) but I'm so happy with it, I feel I don't need another.
* Fantastic lyrics
* Great singer
* Technically capable musicians.
* Not too heavy.
I uploaded 2 songs from Dream Theater's latest albums.
The first one is an instrumental. Starts slow, but becomes quite powerful all of a sudden.
The next one is the last song on the album. It's called "In the name of God" and deals with the issue of religious leaders who use religion as an excuse to commit acts of violence. Contrary to what one might think, this is not about September 11th. I'm not sure if it's clear in the lyrics, but I seem to remember they've mentioned in interviews that the song is about 3 Christian religious leaders; not muslim.
Does following faith lead us to violence?
