There's a lot of music out there that can help you train harder, but the number of Viking metal-themed songs that deal with pumping iron is relatively sparse to non-existent. I'm not a musician myself, but I know what I like.
AI models of today make it possible for consumers of music to now generate their own music, which is certainly both a curse and a blessing. I know this kind of "music" won't appeal to everyone, but damn, it's slapping (at least for me). And that's okay.
Valhalla's Gym is an attempt to combine metal that deals with Norse mythology and weightlifting. There will probably be a few more tracks to follow, which I will summarise under the name "Getting Swole in Asgard". I created this track primarily for myself, but maybe others will like it, too. Of course I'm also happy to receive constructive feedback.
Note: This track (vocals, instruments) was created with artificial intelligence (Udio.com). The background image was created with Image Creator from Microsoft Designer.
Valhalla's Gym Lyrics'
Forge of the muscle, iron will
Testing limits, strength to thrill
Deadlift power, the ground we shake
Squats and benches, records break
Hearts of thunder, pulse of the drum
Battling gravity, till we're done
(Chorus)
With warrior cries, our spirits rise
In Valhalla's gym, we claim our prize
We forge our path with steel in hand
In Odin's name, we take our stand
A bar of iron, across the chest
With every breath, we push past rest
Berserker fury, hearts aflame
In our temple, we claim our fame
In Asgard's shadow, our bodies build
With Mjolnir’s force, we are fulfilled
(Chorus)
With warrior cries, our spirits rise
In Valhalla's gym, we claim our prize
We forge our path with steel in hand
In Odin's name, we take our stand
(Guitar Solo)
Hammer of Thor, we lift and roar
Steel in our grip, we're wanting more
Thrusting the bar to the sky so high
With every rep, to the gods we cry
Echoing the battle drums
Under weight, our kingdom comes
(Chorus)
With warrior cries, our spirits rise
In Valhalla's gym, we claim our prize
We forge our path with steel in hand
In Odin's name, we take our stand
(Final Chorus)
With warrior cries, our spirits rise
In Valhalla's gym, we claim our prize
We forge our path with steel in hand
In Odin's name, we take our stand
