Been following the thread and I've got a few things to throw in there...
Pretty much anything by Breakin Benjamin is great, even their slower stuff can be used as kick *** songs. (Case in point I had my playlist going on a Shadow Shard TF, and "So Cold" came on, GREAT effect.)
Also bands to look up and add: Apocalyptica, Avenged Sevenfold, Fireflight, Flyleaf, Linkin Park, Godsmack, Nickelback, and 30 Seconds to Mars.
Thats just about 1/10 of the artists on my gaming playlist. You can never go wrong with old school Ozzy/Black Sabbath either.
And to add a little to my geek cred: The ENTIRE soundtrack to the '86 Tranformers Cartoon movie. Stan Bush, Kick Axi, Vince Dicola, etc...EPIC win.
Hope it helps Azure.

'Enemy' by Disturbed played at high volume while farming or doing any speedrun is too good to describe.
