Have you ever discovered a new favorite band or composer by gaming?

Did you ever discover a new favorite musical artist from a video game?

[Shagger]

I did find one of my favourite albums through a videogame, but I must be honest it wasn't until years later that I recognised it for what it was. The game was Carmageddon and the soundtrack was an instrumental version of Fear Factory's Demanufacture album.

 

Here's the song "Zero Signal";

 

• First the version from the game.

 

 

• And the version from the Album itself.

I already have Garbage and The Cardigans of Gran Turismo already downloaded among my Playlists. They are a piece of work that's very enjoyable.

Flogging Molly the part Irish part punk band was in one of the Tony Hawk games.  The song was "Drunken Lullabies."

I also discovered Iron Maiden through one of the Tony Hawk games.

I've discovered pretty good music genre, not really songs. The genre I'm talking about is bands that sing about gaming themes and song mixes/covers. Some of my favorites are the Witcher 3 and AC Valhalla songs.

Are you a fan of Dragon Force?  I listen to them sometimes and their music is supposedly heavily based on gaming.

Personally, I have a thing for the music or soundtrack of Need for Speed game genre especially NFS Most Wanted.

I think this counts too.

They consider old video game soundtracks to be a major inspiration, and you can here it in thier music. The last album though the went all out on the gaming theme.

 

 

 

 

And here they are on tour with that album (The other band on stage here was thier main support band on that tour Lovebites, who are fantastic, btw, and one of my favourite band atm)

GTA game series, Just think how many songs that those fake channels had and also how many times that you heard it over and over again.

How about this live concert? It's really thrilling for me watching it.

Metric in Test Drive Unlimited is one of my favorite of all time - I still play it all the time. I also got this song from Fifa 2005: 

Emma Warren - She wants you back
