Almost the entire soundtrack of Brutal Legend, both the original soundtrack, and all of the licensed soundtrack too. Absolutely astounding work on both fronts.

Pretty much. I absolutely love the GGXX soundtrack.

Just stick this on and, whatever you're doing, it will get DONE.

based on haphazardly clicking through some of the tracks here: if i have to pick something that isn't licensed i'm going with this on the strength of the heartwork-ish opening riff.

Can i say Warrior Within? Although it's a soundtrack composed for the game , i think we could count it in ?

It featured 2 great tracks from Godsmack but original music was godly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1potMUPsJI#t=3105

I can't believe that this was Ubisoft

Spoiler

LOL

I really liked warrior within's soundtrack too. I actually liked the game a lot too even though it is highly divisive.

I know this is more like industrial rock than metal but I fucking love Gran Turismo 1 soundtrack and 'Cubanate - Industry' is my favourite track from it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ8ug91-loQ&list=PL5411AA125780D400&index=11
It's either that or Fulgore's theme in the new Killer Instinct.

[2+2=5]

Some of the oldest metal game music.

The Ocean Loader 4(1988)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48nKFdah5Lc

if you can't hear its "metal-ness" because of the chiptunes then listen to this faithful cover:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lWx3aAK060
(it's also my ringtone lol)

Same situation here, Last Ninja 2: Central Park ost(again 1988), but here the "metal-ness" is clearly recognizable i think
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoGFV_xxR64

if chiptunes give you problem again then here another cover
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb2fJQlSkCc

The entire collection of Hulsbeck works, just a recent example from Giana Sister Twisted Dreams(the track is just a modern version of one of the c64 Giana Sister songs 1987)

Daisuke Ishiwatari is sooo good, love Guilty Gear and Blazblue music so much.
And Metal Gear Rising OST is one of my favorite OST of all time. Red Sun is the greatest for me ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chPJ7x9iMw0 ).

 

[OverturePT]

Mechanical Rhythm

I adore this one, I'd say it's probably my favourite metal song in gaming.

 

[ichtyander]

Not enough metal these days, I'd love to see some Dark Souls, Blade of Darkness-like Death Dealer game with a lot of gore, dismemberment and heavy metal music. One can dream...

Here's some SID metal:

Metal Warrior III
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLQAhEwAjcQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=10

Metal Warrior IV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw2hRL_jrhw

Hellfire
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll09Dac8QX0

Shin Megami Tensei 1 - Battle

[Conkersbadfurday]

Pretty much the entire DMC: Devil May Cry soundtrack. Not sure if Combichrist are technically metal, but close enough :3

 

[Platy]

Only thing missing here is Final Destination Ver.2 from Smash Bros 4 Wii U and the most WTF remix of Brawl : Gourmet Race Kirby metal

 

[Jazzkokehead]

I've seen it mentioned several times, but it bears repeating how awesome the Painkiller soundtrack is:

Monastery

Catacombs

Train Station

City on Water

Also: no love for the Quake 2 soundtrack? It has some really great tracks:

Quad Machine

Descent Into Cerberon

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Lords of the Thunder OST pretty much

RIP Hudsonsoft.

 

[Null&Void]

Mosh - The Headbanging Game technically fits the bill I guess. Supposedly only the outro of a demo song and sadly seems to be the only thing that ever surfaced the web.

Angel's Thanatos from Silent Hill is nice too.

A lot of NES music translates well to metal, Mega Man being a prime example.

 

[djtiesto]

Ys: The Ark of Napishtim Boss Music

Thunder Force IV opening for some sick-ass Genesis metal

Xenoblade - You Will Know Our Names

Baten Kaitos Origins - Iconoclasm

Around 0:50, so good.

 

[archagon]

Does the Starcraft 1 Terran soundtrack count? It's more hard rock than metal, but still.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V9wMRuJuYw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mzfnUIdzq4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S41XFYRX6Bs

(I'm kind of sad that nobody's done an actual metal cover of these tracks.)

(EDIT: Just found this guy doing it. Not bad!)

 

[JohnnyFootball]

The best part about Contra Shattered Soldier was it's soundtrack.

This song just kills it

Survival of the Fittest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_gRBR-K-nY

Listen to it and tell me it's not badass.

 

[archagon]

The clocktower theme from Castlevania: Circle of the Moon isn't metal as it's a chiptune, but housethegrate did an amazing metal cover of it for a contest.

 

[RocketRacoon]

Saints Row The Third had a pretty decent Metal Station too, a lot of newer things I'd never expected in a video game ever.

 

[Nimby]

Millia always had bitching sound track

Yes, it definitely continues in Xrd

[3DimensionalAperture]

Pretty much the entire DMC: Devil May Cry soundtrack. Not sure if Combichrist are technically metal, but close enough :3

Aside from a collaboration with Morbid Angel on what many hold to be one of the worst albums in the history of music, no, they aren't metal.

Thunder Force Live Series

Just check that playlist out for the highlights.

 

[sakipon]

If someone's looking for a game with licenced metal songs, Army Corps of Hell on Vita is a great choice. A very nice soundtrack filled with Japanese bands, and it's not the obvious choices but some lesser-known stuff. Personally I liked the game as well, it's fun - repetitive sure, but still fun.
