National Anthems/ or bands

Ulm - Metallica One

That's a hard task to find something matching particularly well. In most cases either theme or music or lyrics don't match. So far I've found only the following:

Pangaea - Korpiklaani (korpiklaani=woods clan), whole album Spirit of the Forest fits well, if one song,probably With Trees

Marignon - Agalloch - Kneel to The Cross

Vanheim - Bathory - Blood On Ice - "The Revenge Of Blood On Ice"

Ulm should probably be something heavy, but nothing seems to suit in particular, the best I can think of is Warlock's "True as Steel".

Somebody suggested Megadeth for Ermor which seems fitting, though many black/doom metal bands would fit too. I've thought about Pentitent's "Into the Great Inferno" and "Entering the Gate" which have very different sound, but probably suit better.

For other nations I don't even have a clue what would fit really well...

Jotunheim and Ulm should have something with Britney Spears... because I REALLY hate them

For the Marignish Inquisition: Running Wild's "Dragonmen" or "Genesis".

For R'lyeh, the perfect anthem would be Garden Of Delight's "Realm Of Chaos"... (with such classic lines like: "Cthulhu beckons me... he beckons me... I can't dream at night alone...") Iä! Iä! Too bad noone but me ever seemed to have heared of them.

Machaka: Since most europeans can't distinguish african and indian music anyway, just get the Spiritchaser from Dead Can Dance and play through it.

I like Bathory for Vanheim and Metallica's One for Ulm.

Ermor: Sisters Of Mercy's Temple Of Love. No, really. Listen to it while playing Soulgate or Ashen Empire.

I tend to listen to albums/bands rather than particular songs - a few seemed appropriate:

C'tis - Thy Serpent/'Swampsong' by Kalmah

Mictlan - 'Blood Ritual' or 'Ceremony of Opposites' by Samael (Lord Belial or Belphegor works here as well)

Ermor - 'Cause of Death' by Obituary

Marignon - Cathedral (Anathema might work)

Abysia - In Flames

Jotunheim - They Might be Giants !!!???

Caelum - 'Blizzard Beasts' by Immortal

Pangaea/Man - Pantheist/'Forest Poetry' by Ildjarn/Carpathian Forest/In the Woods

[Nargel Primus]

I'd say the perfect band for R'lyeh is
obvious: the 60's group "H.P Lovecraft".
And yes, it is named after the author.
