Music means different things to different people, but when a song invokes imagery of godzilla-esque destruction, scenarios from mecha-animes or verse that can be interpeted literally as some other similar destructive fetish: I of course, can't help but think of such scenarios instead of the metaphors for which these things are probably intended by the artist to mean.
So here's a list of a bunch of songs that seem like they are just perfect soundtrack for this type of thing: (BTW, this covers a broad range of styles of music. But mostly rock/ indie-rock and techno/synth rock)
Ladytron- "Destroy Everything You Touch" (the lyrics are frighteningly perfect for this)
Jacksons United- "Lion's Roar" (Should have been the theme song for the American version of Zoids: Chaotic Century. It fits SOOOO well.)
Flaming Lips- "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" (This one is obvious)
Cage and Aesop Rock- "Weathermen Gang" (Yes, I know it may be hip-hop, BUT they do mention rampaging around New York in mechanical lions. Yet another ZCC invokation for me)
M83- "Sitting" (I have no idea why this makes me think of running dinosaurs. Since it has no lyrics, but it's some good, very solid spacey electronica.)
The Stranglers- "Death and Night and Blood" (The perfect music for Ahastar and Diablo's smash/vore stuff. Absolutely perfect. I doubt there is anything else more fitting  )
also by the same band: "Bring on the Nubiles" is hillarious, yet doesn't really evoke much of an image for me. Yet I could see how it might for others :p

"There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in it's potentialities, so absolutely terifying, that even man, the fighter, who would dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appaled, and so abandon war forever."
