Fury Road Soundtrack is one of those ones where I like about 99% of the songs. Even the slower ones (toward the end of the album) are fun to listen to. đ¤

It took me a reeeeally long time to figure out what music I like, and I’ve decided I’m really into movie soundtrack-like music (called trailer music or epic music). Most of these aren’t made by normal music artists. They’re from music production companies (folks who make stock music for movie trailers or commercials). A lot of what’s listed here are either fast-paced and gritty or have a mystical/ethereal vibe (bonus points if all of the above), and 9/10 don’t feature any lyrics (though they might have vocalizations–people “ahhhhh”-ing for parts of the song).
If you like any of the music here, please support the artists and buy their songs (most can be found on Amazon or the Apple Music store, a few can be found on Bandcamp). Thanks!

Kalevala (epic folk metal)
Guys, I have a really funny story about this song.
I heard this a few years ago on Apple Music when going down the epic music rabbit hole. I thought this was done by Audiomachine, so when I went back to look it up, I couldn’t find it. All I remembered was that it began with “K” and was 25 minutes long.
In 2024, I was going down a very different rabbit hole, and saw the name of the homeworld of Clan Kryze (Kalevala) and thought “was it really called that? đ¤”. I clicked it and under Behind the Scenes:
Wookieepedia
And went đ, wondering if this was the name of the 25 minute long epic song I heard a while back. Quick look up on Youtube and it was. đ I had a brainfart and thought when they said “national epic”, I thought this meant this was the actual song that was composed centuries ago. It made me think, “wait, did it really sound like this back then? Why does Finland get to have such a badass song and we get *insert silly-sounding folk song*?” And looking this up on Wikipedia, I saw that it was written in 1835, so a lot later than I thought, but still I was wondering “what did metal sound like in the 1800s? đ¤”
Then it took me an awkwardly long time to realize that in this case, epic = really long poem. And this song is just one of the many musical inspirations of the poem. So yeah, sadly, they really did not have metal as a music genre back in the early-mid 1800s (which didn’t really become a thing till the 1960s).
