I've always been a fan of the Arcanum soundtrack.  Mostly modern string quartet stuff mixed with the occasional bit of percussion. I find it matches the pace of the game nicely, and even compliments the mood of Toady's great piece.

You can download the whole sound track (for free, of course) off the composer's website:

I really love the guitar riff in the game. I never get bored of it and wish there was more little riffs. Reminds me of the original 'Diablo' soundtrack - great, moody, atmospheric music with a prowling-guitar-sound.

To exist or not exist, that is the query. For whether it is more optimal of the CPU to endure the viruses and spam of outragous fortune, or to something something something.

Goes quite well with goblin snatchers.

Figured I'd bring this up again instead of making a new topic.

Pandora Radio just brought up a song called "Adamantine." So yeah. Okay, the lyrics don't actually fit that well but at least it's power metal which imo is perfect for playing DF to.

The fantastic soundtrack from the incredibly underrated game called Knights of Honor.

And so on.

I don't know. Best medieval soundtrack in a game?

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

I think if you win a lot of land but immediately get beaten back Viva La Vida should play.

Ohhh, this reminds me.

My friend and I were bored one day in school, he was messing about with DF and we came up with an idea. Change the in-game music.

The menu has the imperial march on it. I then suggest Hell March from Red Alert be the music played in game. We had a nerd-gasm.

I just can't see Dwarves as being metalheads. Goblins and orcs are metalheads. The only reason most of the metal posted on this thread might be fitting to Dwarf Fortress is because of the goblins. Alestorm is pirate metal, and Finntroll is obviously troll metal.

Traditional Nordic music and medieval rock seem a lot more fitting to Dwarves!

I know this is an old post, but I decided to look through the thread. I really like the band Schelmish, so if you see this Stove, thank you. :)

Looking into modding DF? This forum guide & wiki guide may still be a good start!

Why do nerds always listen to either heavy metal or epic game/movie music?

Hey, I'm the nerdiest guy I know, and I don't really listen to metal all that much. However, I do listen to some game music from time to time.
Oh my god, I can't believe nerdiest is actually a word.

I don't know about fitting, but I listen to Safety Dance (Music Video Version) while playing Fortress Mode, and Separate Ways by Journey while playing Adventure mode.

Haven't heard their other albums but Gods of the Earth is real good, and appropriate.

Well I like rock, and only a little game music. Infact other than the music from the older C&C games and a select few songs I don't care about.

Nothing wrong with that. It's just strange that I've never heard of one that likes something different, ie. reggae, jazz, trip hop or whatnot. (Myself excluded)

I guess industrial rock would be the dwarfiest genre? :P
