A song for the DE slaves would be Fear and Anguish, by Voltaire.

Painkiller by Judas Priest. That's what ultimately sold me on Dark Eldar. I could not stop imagining a Reaver champion while listening to this.
Ram It Down by Judas Priest is another strong influence for me. Always pictured a rift in Webway appearing, then a swift fleet of Raiders lead by blazing fast Reavers and Razorwings appearing to wreak havoc immediately.
In general, Judas Priest (and speedy heavy metal in general) are how I envision my corsair army, focusing on energy and speed. Of course, there are other types of music fitting the various aspects of the Dark Eldar race.

Painkiller, oh yes! Perfect, whoever said that! And Deadly Sinners by Three Inches of Blood, I think that works for them. Scream, by Avenged Sevenfold - "You know I make you wanna scream, you know I wanna make you run from me baby but know it's too late you've wasted all your time." If that's not a Dark Eldar sentiment, I don't know what is. Also, Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good! by Megadeth, it sounds like it's quoting an Archon!

Vicarious from TOOL, that's something Dark Eldar love for me it fits them perfectly, from the voice performance and style to the heavy bass/guitars of the band. Pure evil DE music.

I believe Manson would best describe the Dark Eldar. Much like others have already stated Metal fits Chaos. I imagine Dark Eldar having more of an Art to their killing rather than brute force. Beautiful People: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tm-1yRZtQg
This against playing while they are slaughtering Eldar. Imagine the scared look on the Eldars face after they are caught and the Haemoculus is standing over them!

Disclaimer; This post is about DE in general (mood-setting vids and music).
To me, the Dark Eldar is about power and dark pleasure.. Metal music does not do it for me. In fact, I think it's too human or "chaosy". Sure I could envision a Commorrite listening to techno/synth/death metal/growling or whatever, they like to partake in every pleasure so why not. But that sound doesn't say Dark Eldar to me. If they had a theme, they would have a deep voiced choir and be pretty much instrumental. No mortal tongue can convey their malice...
In other news, we have these runner ups! Better to listen to something rather than nothing!
Temple of Doom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvK0Xa7mqlU&NR=1 Kali ma! Heamonculus enjoying himself orchestrating gruesome theatrics. I guess it would work for Chaos Cultists as well... But those guys are Hello Kitty fans compared to us.
Stargate Overture (forward to 1.45): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGwQXL5igcM G'oaulds, sinister, scheming, heartless (yeah you get it) Star Gods enslaving and torturing every living creature they can find, why does that sound familiar...? Plus, the God Ra in Stargate with his powerful presence and androgynous appearance would make for an excellent Archon.
The Wolf, from Red Riding Hood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Zsnw6yxH2o&feature=BFa&list=PLD053FCCE34B6B5F4&lf=BFa Would be a good theme for Wyches while they're reveling in their victims blood (am I a sick man?). If nothing else, it screams SEX, brings out the animal within and lets loose your inner desires (come on, use that fantasy you had before the internet came into your home and brought you porn..).
Sleepy Hollow has some nice moods as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX0XGdzDIyk&feature=related The Headless Horseman, he's evil enough in my book. I guess she became his "Bloodbride" (fine, no more bad jokes!) ^^ I know, it's more about the vid than the music, but there's some music in there too (smartass)!
I know you're gonna be hatin', but.. Harry Potter and his snake talk. If you'd just listened to it and tried to forget which movie it is, you'd agree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4A9anY_K8A

For true DE mood I am partial to Pain's theme from Naruto, both it and the battle mix make me feel ancient and powerful evil that is cold, implacable, and inevitable. It just feels heavy and solid, and like something that nobody can do anything about and captures the gothic, cold, and dark feel I have for Commoragh;

You're all wrong I tellz you.
Imagine a scene, where Drazhar is ploughing though hordes of enemies, blood is raining down everywhere. Raiders filled with bloodthirsty dark eldar slavers zoom across the sky, chainsnares with mangled bodies impaled on them. At the front of the horde, the Dais of Destruction with a menacingly smiling Asdrubael Vect holds out his arms and laughs in glee as they dig through the dead. Then add this music:
Mudvayne - Dig

Ah, well thanks for the idea!!! I'm surprised my topic got so many replies...XD
Id say its because everyone has their own idea of what good music is, and want to share (myself, I heavily dislike the kind of lightweight melodrama metal that many listen to, such as Disturbed etc, and im not either into the duble keg growlermetal either, so naturally, I wanted to post some of my own favs, which someone else dislikes and so the cycle goes on )
Theres always a thread about music that keeps getting flooded on all forums

Just came up with the perfect song for my desert raider dark eldar. Its a mongolian band named Altan Urag, who made the soundtrack for the fantastic movie Mongol (about Ginghis Khan). They practice a lot of Mongolian throat singing (which is AWESOME)
