I know we have other music threads, but it might be fun for a TGO-exclusive one.
Zero-God? How about Zero by Smashing Pumpkins (includes "God is empty"):

It's also got that dark and desperate edge you might feel in the wasted north.
Kind of weird video, but definitely an Inchoroi/Arkfall vibe: Space Lord by Monster Magnet:

This vid has a boring beginning but switches to ridiculous/amusing at about 1:25

I like this topic.
Pinning it.
Also, nothing new to add to the discussion really but I will always read anything TSA at least once while listening to Pendulum's Hold Your Colour album.
Otherwise, something Maynard or whatever I happen to be listening to at the time. Also, also, listening to Bakker's "what he's writing to" list on the side of his blog while you read is oddly satisfying, though I know he doesn't update that.

The Great Ordeal charges the sranc horde:

I decided Death Grips - Hot Head was The Consult's theme song (specifically, the line "I just told 'em hell's existence")

I'm sure Bakker would appreciate The Metal!

Nice, that's a great album too.
Along the same lines, I can't help but hear this song whenever Celmomas says "seeds:"
The Knife - Seeds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGdQKDmyg0k)
The inside of Golgotterath has to sound something like this Wolf Eyes album:
Human Animal (https://www.google.com/#q=wolf+eyes+a+million+years&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgFuLSz9U3MCwoLyqxVIKwU1IM08q0RLOTrfRzS4szk_UTc5JKc62K8_PSiwFDKuW8MQAAAA).

Well, obviously, any number of tracks by Two Steps From Hell (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=two+steps+from+hell), if that's not already been linked.
EDIT: Lol. I used to study to this stuff a lot.

Awesome pick. When I heard that song I think of TGO fighting the horde and the drums are the sranc arrows slapping shields, armor and flesh.

Could practically be an Inchoroi ballad:

Wishful thinking for TUC:
Cnaiur wielding the Heron Spear, turning sides at a pivotal moment during the Final Battle, leading the Armies of Men against the No-God, with the Gods themselves walking the field amidst hordes of Ciphrang. Epic savagery. Nayu takes down Wutteat and breaks its fuckin' neck.

This is Akka's theme tune for me.

I've never played a Dark Souls game, tring out DS3 right now, but whatever, the music soudtrack of this game is unbelievable.
Music for TGO/TUC:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrYPqtWWB3s
Reminds me of Macbeth for some of those compositions, for those of you that know ;) .
Also I'm a sucker for arrangements that include choirs.

While I was reading the books I often connected particular moments with particular songs, but I forgot almost all of them until I finished TGO and started roaming the forum.
Korringhus jumping...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNJ7hhauaKI
A possible soundtrack for the trip to the Outside, it's quite a sick song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2V-ftsPqV0
The Boy in the Scylvendi camp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmc21V-zBq0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk7TbYPycrk&t=1s
And half of this album is quite appropriate:
Genocidal Crush is definitely an Inchoroi vibe, it's got violence, sex and genocide in it, what more could a decent Inchi boy want?
Surf the Apocalypse... We all will be surfing the Second Apocalypse soon, right?
Fear Your Mind - "Better mind your thoughts and fear your mind" in case there's a Voice in your head, you know.

It's really soft, but this song's lyrics seem stolen from the text!
sounds like Serwa.
Or a song a zaudunyani would sing.
When the morning comes and I wake up miles away,
Any other day it's all the same, all the same
With the rising sun there's a hunger born again,
Oh oh oh put out the flame, put out the flame
And the shortest road to the sunset doesn't turn,
It's what I gotta learn every day, every day
Just a few more miles to the point of no return,
Oh oh oh the way is plain, the way is plain
Oh love you gimme what I need
You take like a one armed bandit
Oh be my strength, be my portion
Oh love you gimme what I need
To live by your one commandment
Oh be my strength, be my portion
Take away my prize so I never have to lose,
Never gonna lose or play the game, play the game
Take away desire so I never have to choose
