I will kill, kill, kill to the music
As the HRB draws ever closer -- because I'm going out of my gourd being here -- I thought a soundtrack might be useful. Quickly going through my CDs, I've determined an optimum mix to represent the beginning credits, various stages of horror and depression, the process as I machine-gun people, the epic battle where the cops chase me, then end credits.

Much work remains to be done, of course; with only 80 minutes for a potential soundtrack, perhaps I'll have to consider a "Music inspired by ZorakZoran's HRB," but I suppose I should stick to the fiction that "inspired by" songs are written after the artist saw the movie in question.

Without further ado:

Credits:
1: Battle Without Honour (Tomoyasu Hotel)
Depression and horror:
2: Scarecrow (Ministry)
3: Dead Souls (Joy Division)
Increasing anger:
4: Thieves (live) (Ministry)
5: Angry Again (Megadeth)
6: Right Now (Korn)
Decision to shoot colleagues and/or students:
7: Wrong Way (Sublime)
8: Come Out and Play (Offspring)
9: Jamie's Got a Gun (Aerosmith)
10: Closer (NiN)
Slow-mo as I blow away annoying colleagues:
11: Terminator opening credits (Terminator)
Exciting chase through university as I shoot colleagues:
12: Skin of My Teeth (Megadeth)
13: Astrocreep (White Zombie)
Horrific scenes of Carnage:
14: Dead Bodies Everywhere (Korn)
Cool extended shoot-out with police where I never seem to run out of ammo:
15: After the Flesh (My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult)
Police come in after me:
16: Oh My God (Guns and Roses)
End credits
17: Southside (Moby)

Now, clearly, I need to do some editing on here to get some hot new tracks, so suggestions are clearly welcomed.

Your music is a bit repetitive, and I'm always a big fan of "music is completely incongruous to the whole situation..." You know, the "exciting chase through university" should be scripted to, say, some happy classical piece.....Beethoven's 9th, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, something like that :).

Ministry's Animosity would fit in well here, btw, but you have few Ministry songs in there already.
And you're missing Disturbed -- a bit of something from their first in there -- Meaning of Life
would definitely fit in, maybe around song 8 or 9? And don't forget Godsmack..."I Fucking Hate
You" :)

I've said it once, I've said it before: you can't shoot people up to Mozart. Mind, I agree with you about incongruous use of music -- it's about time we had movies showing people being shot to Enya or Lem or something -- but call me a traditionalist. Besides, support your local heavy metal artist.

Besides, you want a steady, repetitive beat so the automatic firing action doesn't class horribly with the music. Sheesh! I've said it before: people that play woodwinds have no sense of rhythym. That's what there's percussionists for.
