* While fan-made, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hKewg9qEyk Dan Bull's rap of this game]] deserves mention. While some of the lines do come from ''Literature/TheJungleBook'''s poem titled "[[http://www2.fiu.edu/~milesk/Rudyard_Kipling_Law_of_the_Jungle.htm The Law of the Jungle]]", the lines manage to fit well with the theme of ''Destiny''[[note]]As evidenced by the fact that the poem was used in [[https://youtu.be/jS1BM9XRgvw an early trailer for the game]][[/note]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfrtX-foWUA "Rise of Iron"]], the new title screen music, epitomizes the feel of the ''Rise of Iron'' expansion: triumph in the face of overwhelming evil; honoring the sacrifice of blood, sweat, and tears of the warriors who fight for the defenseless; and the knight's determination when it seems like there is no hope. It's the perfect song to your journey to become an Iron Lord.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-ct94vBZs4 "Iron Tomb"]] brings a pretty good heavy feeling of dread and shock as you arrive in the titular Iron Tomb [[spoiler: and see what [[TearJerker SIVA has done to the old Iron Lords before you]]]] and then slowly picks up the main theme for the Rise of Iron expansion and gives it a proper heroic feel like you're finishing a long and hard fought battle.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ol5CmTriLc "Siege Engine"]] serves as the theme for the titular [[FanNickname Death Zamboni]] in the Raid; an epic hard-rocking death march that brings back the days of VideoGame/{{Halo}} with its heavy drum beats and guitar riffs demanding you to not stand still.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVb4SfnqA0U "Young Wolf"]] acts as a recurring song you'll hear throughout your journey become an Iron Lord, with excerpts of it showing up in a number of your more dire fights, and the extremely triumphant climax playing during your escape from SIVA's self-destruction.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cPo8wImpJ8 "Eyes Up"]], the grand orchestral piece that heralds your final fight against Aksis, Archon Prime. It's unique in that its musical segments [[MickeyMousing shift depending on the phase of the fight]], and is supremely satisfying to hear as you pound the raid boss with all of your fireteam's arsenal.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPTHTFezIrE "Bow to No One"]], is the recurring theme of ''Taken King''. Oryx is here, situation's hit the fan, and extinction seems just around the corner... But you've ripped your way out of this before. And you will again.

[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woNG-Sscntg "Last Stand"]] brings it harder when Oryx decides to pull out the stops and face you at his strongest, both in his final round in Taken King's story mode and your final confrontation in the King's Fall raid.
