I’m Still Standing - Elton John

For me is mainly Death and Groove Metal, bands like Dying Fetus, Pantera, Necrophagist, Nile, Machine Head, Lamb Of God, Decapitated etc. Or even some Blackened Death like Behemoth.

Meshuggah

Infant annihilator on gym goes HARD

Just got home from a lift and today's playlist consisted of Job for a cowboy and All shall Perish

Thank you for putting gang starr on this list. Premier is the best producer and dj in hip hop, no question. Also meshuggah was my go-to for workouts immediately after 90s hip hop was. Both have in common a steady groove that facilitates mindfulness during lifting. Old school death metal rocks for lifting, too, but you have to be mindful of the abrupt tempo changes. But if you know the song, yoy can ride the intense waves for some awesome sets. Opeth has been going recently for me, and its the same rhythm

Nothing like Gojira to get motivated to a dangerous degree. I almost hurt myself while lifting to Grind.

I love listening to war metal. Oath violator is my pr song

For me it was Rammstein every time. I just mentally connected the songs with the weights, and it worked.

Only the Strong by Flaw. It’s nothing fast or heavy, but the lyrics just hit the spot and make me feel invincible.

Gojira Nails-you will never be one of us Amon Amarth Immortal- sons of northern darkness Mudvayne- LD 50

I usually work out to -meshuggah -gojira -pantera -lamb of god -megadeth -slipknot -system of a down -korn -disturbed -Judas priest -children of bodom -and for some reason TOOL.

Funny you mentioned OAA because this past week or so I've been spamming their album Hikari a lot in the gym. I think Currents' albums Into Despair, The Way It Ends, and The Death We Seek are all amazing gym albums. The riffs are just nasty and overall absolutely crushing albums. Also Bryan Willie's lyrics cut deep and always inspire me to push harder during a set. Other great gym albums for me are Dying Wish - Symptoms of Survival Monuments - In Stasis and Amanuensis Invent Animate - Heavener Rivers of Nihil - Monarchy The Zenith Passage - Datalysium All of Sleep Token's albums aha Misery Signals - Controller Counterparts - A Eulogy for Those Still Here NeO - Citadel Vektor - Terminal Redux The Helix Nebula - Meridian StC - Odyssey to the West Some specific songs that really amp me up are Slugdge - Slave Goo World, Salt Thrower, A Putrid Fairytale Make Them Suffer - Doomswitch, Contraband, How to Survive a Funeral The Faceless - Leica Veil of Maya - Sever the Voices, It's Torn Away, Subject Zero Erra - Frosbite, Rebirth, Dementia, Breach, Snowblood, Gungrave Inferi - Maelstrom Prison Fallujah - Scar Queen, Prodigal Son, Lacuna, Into the Eventide, Artifacts, Sapphire Silent Planet - Iridescent, Anunnaki Periphery - Wax Wings, Everything is Fine, Dracul Gras, Sentient Glow, Satellites, Mile Zero, Luck As A Constant Crystal Lake - Agony, Sanctuary Nemophilia -Raitei, Enten, Change the World, Oiran Yohei Kimura - Omnislash

My gym playlist is basically tallah, code orange, knocked loose, vein, mouthbreather, protest the hero (but songs from volition and pacific myth), Tony danza tapdance extravaganza and, obviously, pump it by electric callboy

Drum & Bass will always be the best genre of electronic music to work out to. As for metal: Fear Factory, Emmure, Alpha Wolf, Knocked Loose, Pepiphery, Meshuggah, Sepultura old and new

Andrew Hulshult. His album nightmare reaper is basically doom without the ambience tracks

About 15yrs ago, for cardio when I was injured and couldn't run and was stuck on just a bike, I took the resistance off (or very light) and tried keeping up with Dave Lombardo on Reign in Blood start to finish. Enough time shifts to keep it interesting and I knew the album enough to know where I was all the time. Like I said always "tried", not accomplished. Good times.

If you are a fan of Knocked Loose, the brother of the drummer Kevin Kaine is the vocalist of another hardcore band in my local music scene called Surfaced. Another great band from my local scene (sadly they broke up) is Ten Years Buried I think they have about 8 songs and may still be releasing the album they just recorded, it has a feat. from Sanguisagabogg. They started off as death metal and moved towards a hardcore sound and eventually sort of slam meets hardcore. The vocalist went back to his old band Blue Tongue, and the drummer from TYB joined and they are also Death metal but with a sort of older hardcore punk twist at least in their older sound, they opened for Crypta about a week or two ago.

Kublai khan is pure audible pre workout.

my favs are mortician and incantation

Great list sir, may i possibly add to your Death Metal list with "DEVOURMENT" especially songs like "Baby Killer" seems like perfect Lifting tempo :3

lot's of folk metal lately. Tyr, Amon Amarth and some metal core and early thrash has been working well lately too.

Thy Art is Murder - Infinite Death on repeat!!

Great choices! For me the #1 choice has to be MANOWAR! Also Amon Amarth seem to be really motivational for me too. I agree about Daniel Heiman! his vocals on the new Sacred Outcry record are phenomenal too!

This is such a great subject 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

My Gym playlist always has Sepultura (Max and Igor Cavalera era) Forbidden (first two albums), Pantera (anything), Megadeth, Slayer, Death, Judas Priest (Defenders of the Faith album) Overkill… the rest is scattered songs from different bands.

Milk lizard by Dillinger esc plan full blast with a pair of skullcandys can’t be beat.

I think thrash metal is the best for training. Specially road to ruin of annihilator

Soilwork - Nerve yes, i said it

heres a suggestion for a good album start to finish for the gym, Bite Your Head Off by King Parrot, if you're anything like me you'll be kicking yourself for not finding them sooner

Shadow Of Intent is sick for working out if you like any amount of Symphonic Deathcore. I love em. From Ruin To Rise is such a great song in general, and it’s amazing for working out

Ι usually work out with dsbm and bal sagoth. Completely irrelevant with each other but hey, it gets the job done

Mathcore's syncopated rhythms always manage to give me this extra drive for the weirder the rhythm - the better the groove. Converge, Botch and Daughters (even though that is noise rock) are bands that make me push over my capabilities.

Just listen to the entire Frontierer discography and you’ll get through any workout!

Get to the Choppa- Austrian Death Machine Warrior of the World- Manowar WAHNTHAC- The Black Dahlia Murder

before even watching, Dyscarnate is heavily recommended for this purpose from me

Omfg I’ve never heard of the Iron Pill I luvvvvvvvvvvvvv itttttttttttt

People = Shit and Eyeless by Slipknot plus some other songs like Skin Ticket and Scissors

Knocked loose, kublai Kahn, bleed from within, Whitechapel, the first slipknot album

Just Manowar, all you need.

Emmure Attila Slipknot (Iowa) Wage War Hatebreed Beartooth Any Thrash

i just listen to megadeth and pantera 😂💀

The Browning full discography

Anything by One Direction

Guttural Slug

IF YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO FEAR FACTORY AT THE GYM YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!!!

WHEN IS THE NECROPHAGIST "SEVEN" DEEP DIVE The answer is SLAM metal btw
