Recently I’ve been all over the place with my music.
Training can be pretty dark for me. It can be very self destructive. And my music can reflect that. NIN and Marilyn Manson. Some times its Slipknot, or just “Nu Metal” in general.
But to be honest if I’m going for a ball to wall set of under 8 reps, I need electronic music. My fav is this:
@aldebaran thanks for the like. If I recall correctly you are a metal head into black and death metal. As you can see I like old school DM. Do you have any recent recommendation?
I have ticket for Judas Priest and Sabaton this fall. Week before I’m going to see Accept.
Damn this will be great shows! I’ll be delving into it tomorrow and come back with a detailed answer
Why’s Pull Me Under on there twice? Shit man, replace one of those with Glass Prison…
Lol I accidentally doubled a few by mistake when I made the playlist. Thought I had caught and deleted all the repeats.

I actually saw Vader live with Gorgoroth, in a tiny, tiny room and I was 50 cms from the guitarist. It was great.
I’m mostly a Black guy but here is some stuff you could enjoy:
The return of the legends…
With members of Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy and Mayhem… And yes it’s great!
Twisted and grotesque, with the heart of old school Death. Refreshing and very efficient.
This is not old school at all but one should lend an hear to gauge what the extreme end of creativity could look like. Erratic, rhytmic, unpredictable, captivating. This is among the finest avant-garde.
This is more technical, but done with perfection.
This is probably my favourite death album of all time. Brutal and melodic to infinity, with flamenco(?) and inventive passages.
In another genre, I’ve been listening a lot to this and Black Magick SS. Old school heavy metal/rock with psychelic influences. If you like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc
Thank you. I will check those all out!
Possessed was great!
I just ordered a Death “Scream Bloody Gore” shirt from Relapse last week. They recently put out recordings of old Death shows.
I thought that at my age I’d put this sort of music down but I guess many people have guilty pleasures and have a kid in them at any age. \m/
Aaaah I bought this shirt 15 years ago and I had not even listened to Death yet. I had a moment, 2-3 years without metal but it came back a few years ago
Once into metal it’s hard to get away. Do you like Destroyer 666? They’re not a purely black metal band but they have a tinge of the sound. They’re excellent! Cold Steel for an Iron Age is one of the best albums I’ve listened to!
no truer words have ever been spoken - there are very few genres of music that offer such a variety of sounds and diverse lyrical content.
It’s a classic! If you’re into vicious Thrash relents, you could try these:
Yeah, sometimes it feels overwhelming trying to find some new stuff because there is so much of it!
Ha! As a non-metal fan this is the opposite of how I’d describe metal and would instead use to refer to other genres.
To each their own.
Bruh, I guarantee there’s some genre of metal you’d like. What kind of music you into? who are your favorite artists? Let’s enlighten this young man.
Challenge accepted.
I also jam a lot of post rock, indie or ambient stuff when I feel a little too worked up. That stuff isn’t as fun as the ones I posted tho.
I like 90’s hip hop (I like some of today’s rappers too, but prefer the older stuff) and 60’s/70’s rock (Led Zeppelin’s probably #1).
Those are the two genres I listen to the most, but I also have kinda started getting into some Nirvana/Pearl Jam/Stone Temple Pilots stuff…so 90’s punk? Grunge? I don’t know exactly what they’re considered.
Definitely more of a dad metal fan here, came from classic rock and country but found metal right at the end of high school.
So you essentially like classic metal. Led Zep has a lot of proto-metal songs (Immigrant Song is basically a metal song). Kashmir has some metal elements, etc. etc.
Jimmy Hendrix’s sound and style largely influenced metal.
Black Sabbath is considered the first metal band (Iron Man is metal af, Paranoid is metal af). You’d probably like early Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. You’d probably like Richie Blackmore/Raindbow/Dio etc… You’d probably like Ghost. There’s probably a lot of stuff I’m not mentioning that you’d probably like based on your preferences.
Shit, RATM is right up your alley, you’d probably like some Anthrax songs (they did a lot of collabos with Public Enemy iirc).
You may not like a lot of metal, but there’s some metal you like - metal isn’t JUST super aggressive, cunt crusher type shit (which isn’t my cup o’ tea either) - there’s A LOT of different sounds in the metal scene, which you’d probably like a few of them.
Fully support this. Pantera is an evolution of Black Sabbath as well - I would start with Cowboys from Hell and work your way later from there. They got a lot more growl-y and aggressive with subsequent albums.
