Pantera - Cemetery Gates
This song describes a man who is at a cemetery and how is on the brink of death. It reminds me of when Gilgamesh visited the Underworld after Enkidu died. It is a dark song of death and that was what that chapter was about.

Of Moons, Birds & Monsters - MGMT
This is a song about how to catch a monster. It reminded me of when Gilgamesh and Enkidu tricked and killed Humbaba. The way to capture the monster is different in the song but in the end both of the creatures are killed.

This song is about how there are consequences for the things we do to feel good. It reminded me of how Enkidu was killed by the gods after him and Gilgamesh celebrated killing Humbaba. The message of this songs would pertain to how Gilgamesh felt when he cried so shortly after being happy about accomplishing the mission with Enkidu.
