What type of music would fit to a fast pace arena shooter? Thread

Question is already in the title. Any suggestions appreciated, whether its in the form of songs that already exist or genres, anything that can get me inspired to writing a track that fits my game is welcome! Thank you in advance

Just pandora: Celldweller, two steps from hell, nightwish or audiomachine

I like your suggestions (especially two steps from hell and audiomachine). I hope orchestral compositions also work well when in-game.

Well I can think of either modern shooter.. something bit more electronic.. some dark drum n bass like Noisia for example? Or maybe if it's more of a world war 2 shooter for example you might wanna have a bit more orchestral piece of music? Other than that some good old metal would work too. Something simplistic like maybe some Pantera or so Just thinking off the top off my head. Hope I helped in any way

I forgot E.S. Posthumus now Les Friction, also good sources for that epic/symphonic type of music.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! So there were all kinds of suggestions, so I just decided to incorporate all in one piece. Here's the synthetic orchestral drum & bass vintage metal rock piece I started working on: Www38.zippyshare.com (Downloaded, it sounds a lot better )

Personally, although the transitions are a bit dodgy, I quite like it and i think it could fit to the style of the game once its done! Be sure to tell me what you think or leave feedback, as I just started on it. Thanks to everyone who left suggestions!
