Impressive guitar work, for sure. Music in general dominates. Fast and driving with lots of changes.
Not a huge fan of the vocals.
Over all, good find!
For you Slayer fans out there, try their song Payback. That got me through quite a few workouts.
My song that I play while driving to the gym to work out is always the same. Let the bodies hit the floor. Drowning pool.
In Flames
Lamb of God
Arch Enemy
Throwdown
Never really been a slayer fan but im downloading it now since I have heard such wonderful feedback. =D
Avenged Sevenfold, Tool, Deftones, Slipknot. Pretty much any heavy music that gets me fired up.
I’ve been on a huge Vader kick recently. Can’t get enough of these guys.

Slayer’s great, but Pantera’s best dozen or so songs are just as good. Even better than both is Phil Anselmo’s other band, Down. Their first album, NOLA, is pretty much the best metal I’ve ever heard. Highly recommend picking it up.
I don’'t like to put down other’s musical tastes, but to call Down’s NOLA the best metal album ever is quite ludicrous.
My tastes aren’t everybody’s; for example, Diabolus in Musica is one of my favorite Slayer albums, and I think a lot of their fans thought it was mediocre. But NOLA is pretty high up there for me, love to hear your choices.[/quote]
I had a huge metal phase a while back, but I kind of outgrew it (I don’t mean that as in it’s childish music), so the only metal I listen to recently is Opeth and Metallica, with the occasional Sabbath.
My favorites are Sabbath’s Master of Reality for nice old heavy metal, Metallica’s Master of Puppets for thrash, for black metal, Mayhem’s Grand Declaration of War, and I really appreciate Death, but I don’t like them too much, and by faaaaaar my favorite for any type of metal, Opeth’s Blackwater Park (although I’m a fanboy of theirs, I love ALL their albums).
I grow tired of the constant, predictable, almost humorous aggression of pure death metal and thrash metal bands, so I really can’t listen to Slayer or Megadeth or Venom for very long periods of time. On the other side, I downright dislike progressive metal wankery like Symphony X or Dream Theater (and yes, I know they have ridiculous chops, woo-hoo, they get a cookie). I like Metallica and Opeth most because of their ability to mix aggression and a softer side with ease, and their overall intelligence in crafting music. Sadly, chugging along a drop-D chord a la Cannibal Corpse a good song doth not make. And then there’s bands like Tool which try damn hard, like on Aenima, to strike a balance in their music like Opeth or Metallica, but it just comes out too contrived (although I do like the album, and appreciate how hard it must’ve been to create it).
So those are my metal opinions. Sorry if I didn’t talk about Linkin Park and other nu-metal bands, but I really doubt, for the sake of everyone including myself, that you’d want to get me ranting about nu-metal.
Refused’s album, The Shape of Punk to Come, is one of my favorites when lifting. New Noise being the best song.
Rage Against the Machine’s first album is quite good to listen to while lifting.
A few song’s on Lil Jon’s Crunk Juice album makes me want to fight for some reason. Also good for heavy lifting days.
I approve whoever mentioned demonhunter. the band is unreal…other than them, slipknot, deftones, korn…the basics.
anywhere ever listened to Project 86? they are another christian band like demonhunter that lays it really heavy and gets me ready to go all out nomatter how lazy i get
Metallica.
Creeping Death, Seek & Destroy, Battery, Master of Puppets, Sad but True, For Whom the Bell Tolls.
Chuck on the old Live shit, Binge, and Purge CD and all my 17-18 year old athletes get pumped.
There is an energy there that I can’t get off other bands.
Hetfield, Hammett and Ulrich’s work is genius.
I just downloaded the Vader music from Star Wars done by Metallica. Good warm up music.
I wonder what chicks at the gym would think if they knew I was staring at their tits and listening to hateful death metal like Pro-Pain or Carcass.

Pro-Pain definitely not death metal but an awesome band nevertheless.

It is proven that listening to Slayer can actually cause you to gain muscle and loose fat without actually lifting weights.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it actually is true. Those songs must boost Test and GH in some way or another. Slayer’s always at the top of my iPod list at the gym.
(Now, if only they would cover an Ashley Simpson song - then we’d really have something special.)
In addition to Clay Aken I have been listening to the Cure on the way to the gym.
How has nobody mentioned God Forbid? I’ve listened to a lot of angry metal, and they’re amazing. The music is so heavy it almost hurts.
I listen to heaps of different stuff when I work out but for the last month I have been listening to nothing except for ‘Killing in the Name of’ by rage against the machine when I squat. I dont know that it has increased my squat by 12%, but it works for me for some reason. (just dont sing the catch line to loud or you may get kicked out of the gym)
A song I’m really feeling right now is Youngbloodz’s “Presidential”
I only listen to Lamb of God while lifting.
