Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Black Sabbath - Iron Man
Deftones - My Own Summer
And So I Watch You From Afar - Set Guitars To Kill
Rush - Spirit of Radio
Kong - Leather Penny
Queens of the Stone Age - You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire
Mastodon - Sleeping Giant
Unsane - No Chance
