I absolutely love Iridescent and Burning in the Skies, but they're too mellow and cerebral (not that I don't like cerebral). Usually, you want to go out with a bang for the third installment of a major blockbuster movie franchise. By 'bang,' I mean a blasting Hip-Hop/Mechanical/Rap song throughout the movie.
Wretches and Kings would be perfect for DOTM. Here's the opening "speech" clip. It goes really well with the genre of the movie.
"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers. Upon all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop."
The overall message of the song isn't quite right, but they reference "the machine" over and over again all throughout the lyrics. And the movie's all about giant robots that blow up cities.
Machine = robot. 'Nuff said.
Sounds too anti machine. I want music that
the machine.
Turn up for best results.
