For me it was the Imperial March

That sent shivers up my spine as the scene reveiled the massive Executer

I've heard that album, it's pretty sweet. And the cover of the Immigrant Song is a lot better than I'd anticipated.

As for songs that make me shiver a little:

Chingon - Malaguena Salerosa
Blind Guardian - An Then There Was Silence
Manowar - Call To Arms

Schism - Tool -Most Tool songs tend to have a long, gradual buildup and then an explosive, emotional...explosion? (Heh, see what happens to my vocabulary after not posting for a while?) This is one of those songs.
You Lied - Tool -A cover of Peach, I beleive. Again with an *amazing* buildup leading to a musical orgasm of sorts.
Hurt - Nine Inch Nails
3 Libras - A Perfect Circle
Mutter - Rammstein
Disarm - Smashing Pumpkins -As much as I don't like his voice, this song is beautiful.
Passenger - Deftones ft. Maynard James Keenan

For me it's more classical music that gives me shivers:

1492 Conquest of Paradise - Vangelis
Ride of the Valkries - Wagner
Nessun Dorma - Puccini
1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky
Jupiter - Holst (The music for the Rugby Union theme - The World In Union)
O Fortuna - Orff (Music from the 'Its a big add' by Carlton Draught)

Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima by Krzysztof Penderecki. From the very first notes, I felt chilled. I could hear all the screams across the burning city.

Nearly anything by the Red Army Choir - I recently heard them doing an awesome version of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" (oh the irony), complete with an awesome canon section...

That's the guy who does soundscapes of a sort, right? I think I've heard that one - fucking crazy.

I'm not sure if I'd call all his stuff soundscapes, but he certainly doesn't hesitate to use more modern techniques to achieve the sounds he's looking for. You could certainly apply the term "soundscape" for this piece, though.

Fate - Theme of Vile (Weil) from Rockman Zero 4 - Physis, definitely. It's this really ominous tune with a heavy drum track, and has this 'oh snap you are doomed' feel to it.
