Wonder if it's on a similar level to how Dumbledore asked 'calmly'
Of course, this is a textual medium, so maybe her screaming voice is a perfect C in intonation and we don't know it

I confess that, even though it strikes a rather different tone than the canon representation (and lyrical dissonance), Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" seemed like fitting BGM for Third Impact - a "lullaby" for a cataclysm of eschatological proportions (complete with lyrics that can be construed as referencing Instrumentality). As for the preceding impact events, I can't say; I would imagine something dramatic and bombastic...

First Impact (seeing as I am a completionist): Creation of Earth - Sun - Thomas Bergersen
Second Impact: Reborn - Hereditary Soundtrack - Colin Stetson
Third Impact: Goodbye Old Friend - Godzilla: KOTM Soundtrack - Bear McCreary
This is just off the top of my head and with some looking into YouTube Music. I wouldn't be surprised of there was something more fitting for any or all of them.

For Second Impact, Krzysztof Penderecki, Tren Ofiarom Hiroszimy (Threnody to/for the Victims of Hiroshima).
For Third Impact, I'm tempted to say "Dies Irae" from Verdi's Reqiuem.

Have listed to these each in succession, partly because I loved KotM and you got my attention by referencing its score. Creation of Earth (Sun) and Goodbye Old Friend I withhold judgement on, even though they're both great, because I was too wrapped up on CoE to think about the possible First Impact connotations (if anything, my brain decided to play a version of Asuka's fight with the MP-Evas over it), and GOF doesn't quite fit the tone of the end of humanity. Not even in a dissonant way.
Reborn, though...
God damn that song is creepy. It manages to be both glorious and immensely unsettling at the same time. The comments on the video of it I found summed it up as the joyous victory of a thing that only takes pleasure in the misery of others, and the arrival of a horrible, disturbing God, like a victory horn and a warning siren put together. I think the words "biblically accurate angel" were even used.
Without a doubt, the perfect contender for "Songs to Burn Antarctica To". A song worthy of Adam themselves.
And you managed to make me seriously think about a track I only listened to 10 minutes ago, so congrats for that. It's going to haunt my dreams tonight.

I'm the exact opposite of the right person to ask about music to IMPACT to, because I'm prone to making stupid choices for this kind of thing.
1st Impact: Godzilla by Blue Öyster Cult
2nd Impact: Watame's Lullaby by Tsunomaki Watame
3rd Impact: It's The End of the World As We Know It (Great Big Sea cover)

My selection comes more from the Rock/Metal genres, and just going by what I think fits:
Just what I think, based on what happened in each Impact, and the general relation between what happens and the instrumentation/lyrics for each song barring First Impact. Was a bit tricky to think about, but I think I got it. I could explain my song selection, but I wonder if that would be okay.
First Impact - Sonntag by Elder (Reflections of a Floating World, 2017)
Second Impact - Celestial (The Tower) by ISIS (the band) (Celestial, 2000)
Third Impact - Widow's Wall by Hammers of Misfortune (The Locust Years, 2006)

Y'know, I quite like the tone Stairway to Heaven sets in terms of a Third Impact. Builds itself up and up over time until nothing's left.
I would submit to the table Heart's live version of Stairway to Heaven as the version to use
C'mon you can't pass up a good choir when it comes to a Third Impact
As for the First and Second Impacts... well, i've never been great at picking music
but if I had to pick, I'd choose:Honestly I was tossing up between the entirety of DSotM or Echoes, but I think lyrically Echoes works better, especially when you consider the headcanon of Lilith following Adam to Earth
Musically it can refer to the chaos of 2nd Impact, but lyrically you could interpret it as humanity overcoming what had happened.
Or you could make your own meaning for them. I'm no Anthony Fantano

It's refreshing to see I'm not the only one who thought that choice appropriate. I agree, too, with the observation that a choir would be quite apropos. (Let us hope it doesn't come to that in A&T.) As for the 2nd Impact choice: I remember a dubstep version of this track that I enjoyed and that I can't find for the life of me...

With a little time and thought, I think I've found something I find more appropriate for an instrumental accompaniment to Third Impact.
Because let's all be honest with ourselves, something like an Impact really needs both a vocal and an instrumental track to go along with it.

Took me a while, but I finally came up with music for the Impacts.
- 1st Impact: Endless Forms Most Beautiful, by Nightwish
- 2nd Impact: All Along the Watchtower, Battlestar Galactica version.
- 3rd Impact: Weight of the World, Keiichi Okabe (NieR: Automata OST)
While I don't have music for The Second Impact or Near-Impact No. 1 (what I call the "Near-Third Impact" when Unit-01 went berserk, tried to achieve apotheosis at the expense of tanging every other living thing, and ultimately was stopped after it made a pre-existing hole in the roof bigger and uglier, and gave everyone but Gendo a heart attack), or Near-Impact No. 2 (a fan idea: if the first one wasn't what made the world a mess, this event was), I do have music for when Unit-13 goes berserk and tries to finish what Unit-01 started:
Unit-13 inhales at 0:53 and lets out a roar similar to the cloverfield monster's at 0:54

First Impact -
The first impact for me brings associations of primordial cosmic mystery and melancholy of some kind.
Second Impact:
- YouTube
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Third Impact:
1.
2.
3.
I don't know of one single song that would do the job. Komm Susser Tod was perfect to depict the Impact itself, so I picked Eclipse as an alternative in similar spirit. Revolution 9 is obvious. Thrak is a song that hits you over the head with unbelievable menace and dread, throws you into complete chaos and then spits you back out through the same gates of hell.

Actually, if you're going to go with Muse, might I suggest:
I think the tone fits better, personally. The lyrics do, too.

Two reasons:
- Independence Day already did it, and we aren't hacks
- I already suggested Great Big Sea's cover
Side note: If you use It's The End of the World as We Know It, you have to use Everybody Wants to Rule the World as well, because it's better. That's the rules.

So I need to do a proper catch-up with this story and all the madness at some point. Until then, here are some random thoughts.
First thing is reading the title of that omake... And I cannot be the only one who thought of Sly Marbo, am I?

I'm more familiar with the gLee remix that combined it with Walking On Sunshine. (That song, and the It's My Life/Confessions Part II mash-up are my only experiences with gLee. Well, that and Community's jabs at it.)
So... BABIES?!?
There are parts of it I can definitely use when I get around to properly writing my RWBY crossover... And parts of it that make me go:
Well I find myself rereading the late Oct 2014 flurry of author notes, when this came up:
The next time Section Two has to ferry the kids around (say, prom?) can the ride fare be 992 yen? Considering Leliel was their ticket to *cough* dritte base.
