I decided to use "Revenant 1" mainly because it was one of the few songs that made me look at what track was playing in the background while I was working.  There were some other songs too, but this was the first one that really stuck in my head.  Kind of.

While there is no traditional melody and I cannot see myself humming this while lumbering down the street at night, for me it does perfectly invoke the Revenant creatures from Episode 2 on; with the exception of the "Little Miss" chapter.  The way that jolting movement of the Revenants, especially when they've been aggro'd, is what I picture with this song.  And to give you some context as to what I am referring to, this beautiful boy here to the right is a Revenant.  They are essentially flesh golems, or at least I think so based on where I am in the game.  You can see that its right lower leg is replaced by some type of metal hardware, and others in the game might have a leg replaced by a chainsaw, for some reason.  These replaced body parts and how badly they are assembled is what I imagine where the jostling movement and the music originates.  And for me, having a song able to conjure a monster out of context from the game is pretty impressive.
