Are there pairings of songs/albums and speedrun routes that line up like "DSotM" and "The Wizard of Oz"? I don't think I've ever seen such a thing but it feels like it should exist.

Not a speed run, but this guy makes incredible syncs between games and music. https://youtu.be/3heYARlA8cs

Not speed run routes but dopesmoker pairs up excellently with dark souls

Listening to Dopesmoker is antithetical to any kind of speedrun, I think.
