Hannity uses that is very "Omen"-esque after "Let Freedom Ring?" It dark, has a giant chorus, and is similar to "Battle of Fates" from "Star Wars".
And FWIW, Rush has a bump by the Jets called “The Truth,” only when I bought the album, while it’s the same song, it isn’t the same edgy arrangement as the one he plays. Of course, it’s impossible to get a question answered by Rush’s staff.
What do you think of Michael Savages’ bumper music? Here’s how it’s described.
Michael Savage commentator - Trivia
The signature introduction to the Savage Nation is an announcer saying “Warning: The Michael Savage Show contains adult language, adult content, psychological nudity. Listener discretion is advised.” The beginning of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” will come next, followed by Mötley Crüe’s “Looks that Kill”, and Metallica’s “The Shortest Straw” will finish off the introduction.
For bumper music, Savage has used “Eye of the Beholder,” “Frayed Ends of Sanity,” “Holier Than Thou,” and “The Shortest Straw” by Metallica; and “Du Hast” and “Tier” by Rammstein...
Did you know the new iphone has a feature where you turn on a song and your iphone will recognize it and name it for you? I don’t know the application name but my brother has it. He says it’s pretty cool.
Ah, how do you “turn on a song” if you don’t know what song to turn on to? It doesn’t have a radio feature.
Not my taste-—hate metal-—but to each his own.
I don’t like metal either. I just thought that Savage was synonymous for his intros.
If you hear the song, for example, on Hannity’s radio show and turn on the feature, after a few seconds it tells you the name of the song, the artist, etc... I don’t know all the specifics.
AntiChrist?! were did you get that idea...this type of music is beautiful because it is rooted in the Old Germanic, Norse, Viking Legends of Gods like THOR, ODIN etc. Orff, just like Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" and a host of other proeminent composers are using the Legends to create master pieces like this.
Those song are fight song, uplifting, inspiring makes your blood boil! Remember the movie "Apocalypse Now"? when Robert Duvall character came flying in on the Huey's with loudspeakers blasting "Ride of the Valkyries"? That's what I am talking about!
BTW, do you know that the week's day names are rooted in the Norse(Norway for you in Rio Linda)legendary Gods?..."Thors'day","Odins'day"(Wednesday)etc.
Correction, it was Beethoven's Fifth!
Sorry, but movies like The Omen and similar are where I’ve most often heard the type of music I’m talking about. Certainly no slight intended toward the music; I quite enjoy it and actively seek out more of it.

Don’t forget about Excalibur.
