I’m planning a Mörk Borg game with my friends. For the uninitiated, it’s a table top RPG game that describes itself as

A DOOM METAL album of a game. A spiked FLAIL to the Face. Light on RULES, Heavy Every-thing Else.

The art and setting are very German/Euro metal inspired.

I myself enjoy listening to metal periodically, but I’m a casual fan. I want to build a background playlist to help ground the players in it’s art and style.

I’m thinking light/low vocal Black / Doom / Death / Prog metal. Looking for music that drives the listeners to action while avoiding taking over center stage.

So far I have grabbed some Igorr, some DOOM 2016 Soundtrack, some Rigor Mortis, Inferi, Cannibal Corpse, and a bunch of random stuff from Spotify suggestions, though I’m struggling to really make it a cohesive vibe.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Thank you all so much for the help! This is awesome! What a great community.

    With vocals:

    • Castle Rat would make sense
    • Blood Incantation (ambiant stuff or death metal)
    • Fantômas (Director’s Cut or Delirium Cordia)

    Without vocals:

    • The Bakerton Group (basically Clutch without the vocals)
    • “Slow” tracks on the latest Cattle Decapitation albums (they always have 1 or 2 of these, usually right before the last track)
    • John Petrucci - Terminal Velocity
    • Estradasphere
    • Ophidius (Skyrim-inspired death metal)
    • Nova Collective
