Pretty self-explanatory. What music, specifically a particular song(s), do you listen to or play in your head when you're creating/building/playing a deck? For instance, I've been listening to Egyptian music and "Egyptian sounding" music since Amonkhet was first announced, and continue to do so as Hour of Devastation is being spoiled. Currently, I'm listening to:
-Marvel vs. Capcom 2: "Airship" (Ruby Heart Theme). For those of you unfamiliar with the game, Ruby Heart is a sky pirate that has an airship.
-Guilty Gear: "Blue Water, Blue Sky" (May's Theme). May is another sky pirate that is a member of the "Jellyfish Pirates" alongside Johnny, their leader. Johnny's theme doesn't really invoke the same pirate-like feeling in me that May's does.
During one of the pre-releases I attended, the guy running the store played a bunch of Nile (including my favourite songs, "Execration Text" and "Sacrifice unto Sebek") while we built our decks. Got me into the Egyptian mood.

That sounds sort of disruptive. Was everyone able to concentrate and have a good time while there was blast beat drumming and grunting in the background?

It wasn't overly loud, and most people who come out are used to metal playing during evening pre-releases (due to the store-runner being a big metalhead, as well as a good portion of the players). And honestly, if I have to put up with crappy dance music, TV theme songs, and multiple versions of that stupid "Radioactive" song at pre-releases, other people can put up with some death metal sometimes.
I usually put on some tunes I have when I do anything time consuming, though a specific track does come to mind when playing my modern poison counter deck. "The Final Battle" (Way more intimidating than the title implies)from Darkest Dungeon - given that the deck is my no nonsense deck that consistently trashes my local playgroup.
So you play the song because of the feeling you get when defeating opponents, not because the deck makes you think of poisoning someone/something or the song sounding insidious? It's your victory song!

I do love me some metal! I mostly play it when I'm playing/building a deck involving demons/dragons. One of my favorite songs (and a throwback one at that) is "Thunderhorse" by Dethklok. Played it any chance I had before a match began in a BW Human Demon sac deck I played way back when.

I don't really use a lot of creativity in deck-building for Legacy or Standard, it's usually a more incremental process. I recall enjoying J. S. Bach a lot back when i used to play a lot of casual formats, and i specifically remember that i was listening to The Pixies' Where Is My Mind when i found the Voltaic Construct[/Metalworker combo for MUD. It seemed particularly apropos because Darksteel had been out for weeks and i'd just spent about a half-hour staring at Voltaic Construct thinking, "What am i missing here, this should be awesome."
One comparatively recent Standard fit of creativity overwhelmed me to create Necra Advocacy: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/568992#paper. I think i was listening to The Pharcyde's Labcabincalifornia album at the time. Necra did great for a week or two, until the rest of the local meta figured it out.

For my first EDH deck, Multani, Maro-Sorcerer, I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud3ExgctzUI
