The cult classic Fight Club (1999) was a very popular psychological thriller, the music in the opening sequence matches this mood. There is no diegetic sound as the sequence is an animated series of shots going from an adrenaline gland all the way to the tip of a gun pointed at the main characters mouth. The music is rough and metallic, this gives a good impression of what is going to come in the film. The band used is Dust Brothers an American metal band.
The music creates a good intro to the film as it builds tension within the animation sequence, along with it being called fight club you start to build an image of what is going to happen later on in the film. When the animation stops, so does the music it cuts to a real shot of the gun in the main characters mouth, the music cuts to a monologue from the main character explaining what is happening and creating a good starting image for the rest of the film,.
