Don't know the song in question but Raining blood by Slayer does it for me.

Thats one of the ones that I picture Battletech to. That and 'Faint' from Linkin Park, as well as a few others.....

other.
I never heard of the guys you mentioned. Bolt Thrower (UK) is the kind of music you need for Battletech. 
Records:
In Battle There Is No Law
Realm of Chaos
Warmaster
The IVth Crusade
...For Victory
Mercenary
Honor - Valor - Pride
Not that I find any flaw in playing Fear Factory, Sepultura or Slayer during games.

Hmmm Sepultura...... yeahh, but for old school epic like this game is... IRON Maiden. Going to have to find this Bolt Thrower and give it a spin.

I think of it more with '45' by Shinedown or 'Dream Warriors' by Dokken.

Little by Little by Oasis does it for me, don't know why.
Also for some reason Come On Feel The Noize seems to fit battlemechs & Mechwarrior 4 well in particular.

I think Iron Man or War Pigs does it personally.

Iron Maiden works too. Or Children of Bodom.
In case you really check out Bolt Thrower, listen before you buy. It's grinding death metal. Sort of an aquired taste.
A couple of samples from the latest two records can be found here:

I too don't know that song (I will have to look it up).
Perhaps the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies in more suitable. Or how about some Tom Jones....
Seriously, I picture Metallica "Justice for All" and especially "Blackened". I know it is old schol, but as Alexander can attest, when you hear it blaring from a Leopard or the back of a 113 as you bounce across open terrain, you begin to feel its power.

If you want something evil you could try parts of the 2001 soundtrack. My roommate in college used to play Doom while listening to the Danube waltz from that. The complete dichotomy of the soft music with the pure carnage is kinda creepy.
(now picture in your head... da da da DA DA BOOM BOOM, BOOM BOOM. da da da DA DA CRASH CRASH, CRASH CRASH.)
Seriously though, Cash's Ring of Fire works well for BT. (goin down down down in a burning ring of fire....)

Some nice hardcore techno could work. Anything that has 160-170 BPM minimum.

If you want to go with Metallica, try 'Seek and Destroy'. Its a little old, but still a goodie.
