music for the apocalypse

If you were able to pick one piece of music for the apocalypse, with the raw earthiness of real talent compounded by the visual arts , before it all went a bit too industrialized and mundane. What would it be? What are the vibes that you could go out on with the thought that you gave it your best shot, and were at least privileged to live in these awesome times for the most part with a level of freedom that slaves and surfs could only dream of. Here is one of my favorites. It would be interesting to share Many come to mind and they shuttle around depending on mood and the season, but I think this is ironically a great starter and could never have been pulled off in any other time.

Wouldn't this be better for the Music Forum on BTS?

As for your inquiry, my pick is Revelation by John Rich.

Been listening to it on loop/repeat, for hours during the day while am at work. It is very fitting for my perspective of the Apocalyptic Time. Not really a fan of the video, but love the lyrics. Has a very Johnny Cash feel to it.

Revelation, is also my favorite book in the Bible.

This is the story, from a survivor's point of view of the days after a nuclear war.

Some powerful stuff that I never knew existed. Great listening thanks...

Here is a good iconic one. From Cabaret they took it out of the screening in Germany.

For me, the Track from Sunshine composed by John Murphy ticks the box.

If you look hard enough you can find a Skrewdriver version of that...Probably more fitting for an apocalypse

No apocalypse would be complete without O Fortuna , and André Rieu conducting it.

The intro to that movie is also Bad ass, one of my all time favorite movies. My friends dad was a chopper pilot in Nam and we would watch this at his house as a kid, of course he’d go into details, awesome times.

The End by the Doors is fitting and fantastic.

There is a Karen for every occasion.



I just imagine walking through a burned out hellscape full of zombies while this song is playing.




Also this song is top 5 of my favorites and I can also imagine it as background track for my apocalypse experience. I could legit listen to this recording of this song on repeat for hours don't know why. Just LOVE it.
