* [[The Smashing Pumpkins]]' fifth album ''Machina'' featured a lot of artwork from Vasily Kafanov and a lot of other alchemy inspired artwork. Yo can see [http://www.nachtkabarett.com/SmashingPumpkins/Machina/ArtworkXI-XVI quite a lot of it here] and amongst the number, lies several of the Ouroboros.
* ''The Bedlam in Goliath'', the fourth full-length [[The Mars Volta]] album, contains a track named "Ouroborous" that loops back onto a pair of choruses and a series of guitar riffs that [[Word of God]] has declared to be a reference to this motif. Also fits in with the various weirdness that permeates the album, being as it is based around sayings and events that the band encountered while using an old ouija board they found in Jerusalem, and the string of unpleasant events that they thought were due to a curse from the board.
* [[wikipedia:The wayWay of allAll flesh,Flesh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_of_All_Flesh_(album)|The Way of All theFlesh]] the fourth album from French Metal band Gojira opens with the track "Oroborus" which describes the motif and its relationship with life and death. The album itself is about coming to terms with mortality and dying.
* The anarcho-punk band Crass had an Ouroboros and a cross in their symbol.
