** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NCdgTwolyA "Rememberance"]] is a very somber song that makes its debut as your Ghost recounts its centuries long journey to discover you, making you remember that before your incredible feats, hope was hard to come by. It receives a more optimistic reprise when Ghost tells the Guardian he believes that he's made the right choice by resurrecting them, and thanks them for being his Guardian.

[[spoiler:It receives a more optimistic reprise when Ghost tells the Guardian he believes that he's made the right choice by resurrecting them, and thanks them for being his Guardian.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWKXtmJKtUE "Visage of Oryx"]] is your introductory song for when you first encounter Oryx and his Taken, letting you know exactly how the situation has gone completely [[FunWithAcronyms FUBAR]]. [[spoiler:This theme shows up again in ''VideoGame/Destiny2'' when you fight the Likeness of Oryx, as an echo to the original Shade.]]

* [[https://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. Think about the title; it's Oryx's last stand against the Guardians after being defeated in the real world, his last chance at victory [[spoiler: and ultimately his end.]] You drive Oryx, who is the Taken King, to the sheer breaking point, and this song is an awesome representation of the bitter struggle between you and him.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAQbiQyUKTo "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=a7RBOW1NqHw "Regicide"]], as dramatic as it can get for fighting Oryx himself in the "Taken King"'s final mission. His {{Leitmotif}} comes in full force here, leaving you little respite as you try to survive Oryx's onslaught. In ''Destiny 2'', after you beat the game, you can catch Cayde humming the first ten seconds of it.

* Similarly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy_d1j1V064 "The Warmind"]] is the heroic hymn that plays when you bravely charge through waves of enemies on select Cosmodrome story missions and strike chokepoints.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlP3wVtgf3o "End of the Line"]] plays whenever you're required to blast your way through a ludicrous number of Fallen.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOPXztZs_rY "Sepiks Prime"]], obviously belonging to the eponymous boss fight, but also present in a few Fallen Ultra fights. Makes good use of the swelling orchestra and frenzied tempo.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRf2gHq7pXQ "Ishtar Sink"]] acts as both the theme for Venus as well as its conquerors, the Vex. The continuous strings that make your hair stand on end before the transition to an alien synthetic beat are the perfect fit for the robotic Vex, which we know so little about.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHhoDOHM7pk "Eye of the Gate Lord"]] is used in several of the most spectacular fights in the game, including those against Zydron the Gate Lord and Primus Sha'aull. It is also one of the possible tracks for Prison of Elders boss Qodron.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWKXtmJKtUE "Visage of Oryx"]] is your introductory song for when you first encounter Oryx and his Taken, letting you know exactly how the situation has gone completely [[FunWithAcronyms FUBAR]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TddbSgrh5vI "Dust Giants"]]. While the beginning is rather smooth and average, the music picks up when the brass comes in, followed suit by the choir as you're nearing your objective's completion.

* [[https://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. Think about the title too it's Oryx's last stand against the Guardians after being defeated in the real world. This final battle is Oryx's last chance at victory [[spoiler: and ultimately his end.]] You drive Oryx who is the Taken King to the sheer breaking point and this song is an awesome representation of the bitter struggle between you and him.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=163_C5UVU-I "Hope For The Future"]], the game's theme song as performed by ''[[Creator/PaulMcCartney Paul freaking McCartney]]''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeurOd57EqQ "Dark Blade"]] is the theme to Alak-Hul, a macabre track that lets you know that you're right where he wants you as he vanishes and reappears again and again to put you on his chopping block.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yms5R60fFUg "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. Curiously, this piece is also played when attempting to take the Khvostov 7G-0X Exotic from a Splicer Captain's hands.

* [[http://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.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGNMlJLnmv0 "Ad Victoriam"]], a tense mix of strings and brass urging the players to stand their ground, with the chorus blaring as they make further progress. Played occasionally during Archon's Forge, but most tellingly during TheWarSequence to protect your Ghost as he prepares the Gjallarhorn.

* The Wrath of the Machine raid starts in full force as Vosik the Archpriest enters the battlefield and starts bombarding your fireteam while [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JZzztefbW4 his titular theme]] rocks your ears. It's an oppressive arrangement of brass and drums, with the ominous chorus rising whenever the SIVA density reaches critical status.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ol5CmTriLc "Siege Engine"]] is a epic hard-rocking remix of "The Archpriest" that serves as the theme for the titular [[FanNickname Death Zamboni]] in the Raid; an oppressive death march that brings back the days of ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}'' with its heavy, savage drum beats and guitar riffs demanding you to not stand still.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cPo8wImpJ8 "Eyes Up"]], the grand orchestral piece that heralds your final fight against Aksis, Archon Prime.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB9ZLvGi16c "Cabal Stomp"]], the Cabal's own militaristic {{Leitmotif}}. Harsh and oppressive to match their empire's power.

* [[http://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. Curiously, this piece is also played when attempting to take the Khvostov 7G-0X Exotic from a Splicer Captain's hands, though here it's more of a WastedSong.
