Juno Reactor vs Diablo

My two favorite things in this world are Juno Reactor and Diablo.  While Juno Reactor hasn't done any music related to Diablo, I believe there are enough examples that Juno's music can be included in Diablo's game. Ben Watkins, the force behind Juno Reactor, has said that his music often takes on very dark image.  Just like Juno's music, Diablo also has very dark theme to it.  Both have lots of themes involving death, angels and demons.  Here are some examples of Juno Reactor's songs that can be tied to Diablo's game. 

The Perfect Crime (Superman) from Gods and Monsters
This song reminds me of Tyrael, especially his story in the Reaper of Souls expansion. 

"I've waited the longest time
To commit the perfect crime"
This reminds me of Tyrael having to steal the black soulstone from the angels and hide it from the angels and demons. 

"All I know is someday you will
Kill and never understand
What lies beneath in the heart of man"
This can refer to Tyrael questioning the mind and heart of the nephalim, whether he is truly good or evil. 

"I've paid the ultimate price
Living in paradise"
Tyrael had to pay the ultimate price, which was to give up his angelic immortal form to one who is just mortal.  This is also implied in the title of the song, in which Tyrael can be compared to Superman. 

Another track that might describe Tyrael is Guardian Angel from Beyond the Infinite

Giant and War Dogs from Labyrinth
These two tracks are often played together and reminds me of the Witch Doctor's pets.  Giant can be used to describe the Gargantuan, which is big hulking beast, while War Dogs can be used to describe the Zombie Dogs pet. 

Conquistador I from Labyrinth
"Mors stupebit et natura
Cum resurget creatura"
Which translates to "Death and nature will be stunned when mankind arises".  This can be referring to the rise of the nephalim and how they will stop death.  Death can also be referring to the Angel of Death, which is Malthael. 

Angels and Men from Labyrinth
This song might describe the relationship between the angels and the nephalim. 
"Why are you so afraid of the face of god"
This might be referring to Tyrael or maybe even of the three prime evils. 

Playing with Fire from The Golden Sun of the Great East
This song reminds me of Firebird wizard.  Just like the song, the firebird set is based around damage over time, meaning that there is slow but steady build up, just like the song. 

Invisible from The Golden Sun of the Great East
This track reminds me of the witch doctor's spirit walk skill.  While in spirit walk, the witch doctor becomes "invisible" sort of speak.  I love playing this song when I am playing with the witch doctor.
