  1. “The Dead Flag Blues” by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. In fact the whole
    album F# A# (Infinity) is very apocalyptic. The second song from the album
    “East Hastings” was used in the beginning of 28 Days Later.

  2. What about “John the Revelator” by Sun House? And “If I Had Possession Over
    Judgement Day” should have got an honorable mention.
