so far i have a lot of slipknot, nin, korn, static x, and so forth but am running out of ideas. can you guys recommend something heavy along the lines of hate music. i find i lift best when i'm pissed off and angry. thanks alex
I listen to all sorts of stuff when I lift, but you might dig some stuff like:
Down
Superjoint Ritual
Black Label Society
Dimmu Borgir
Children of Bodom
Testament
Slayer
Iced Earth
Mercyful Fate
Black Sabbath
Pantera
Soulfly
Saliva
Beautiful Creatures
Megadeth
Savatage
My Dying Bride
Paradise Lost
Sepultura
Sentenced
etc...
any specific songs??
Damn, wish I had my CDs here with me, and I could give you a bunch of specific songs. From memory, I can suggest:
Testament: Do Not Resuscitate
Slayer: just get the double live CD "Decade of Aggression" Every song is a good one
Sentenced: their cover of Iron Maiden's "The Trooper," as well as "The Suicider," "No More Beating as One," "Bleed" and their cover of W.A.S.P.s "I Wanna Be Somebody."
Iced Earth: Burning Times
Mercyful Fate: Holy Water
Black Sabbath: Iron Man, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Pantera: Fucking Hostile
Saliva: Always (not that heavy, but this one gets me pretty jacked up for whatever reason)
Beautiful Creatures: I Got It All
Sepultura: Chaos A.D.
I'm drawing a blank on a lot of other good stuff, too much on my mind at the moment I guess. :-)
I agree completely with sprhodes. My top four favorite bands of all time are on that list.
Sepultura-Roots Bloody Roots(the entire CD kicks ass)
Superjoint Ritual-Pick any CD
Soulfly-not as big a fan of Soulfly 3, but any others are good
Pantera-ah shit, don't get me started
Amorphis - Drifting Memories, or anything else off of the Am Universum album.
Annihilator - Hunter Killer
Anthrax - Caught In A Mosh, I Am The Law, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Black Sabbath cover)
Artch - Loaded
Borknagar - Gods of My World
Bruce Dickinson - Killing Floor
Children of Bodom - Children of Decadence, Bodom After Midnight, Everytime I Die
Cradle of Filth - For Those Who Died, Her Ghost In The Fog, Sodomy & Lust
Dark Tranquility - Punish My Heaven
Deicide - Serpent of the Light
Darkside - The Gloaming
Exodus - Bonded By Blood, And Then There Were None
Hammerfall - Heeding The Call, Stronger Than All
Helloween - I Want Out
Iced Earth - Angel's Holocaust, My Own Savior, Pure Evil, Vengeance Is Mine
In Flames - Embody The Invisible, Pinball Map, Only For the Weak
Lacuna Coil - Angel's Punishment
Life Of Agony - Depression, Let's Pretend, The Stain Remains
Lizzy Borden - Lovin' You Is Murder, American Metal, Hell Is For Heroes, There Will Be Blood Tonight
Mercyful Fate - Come to the Sabbath, Curse of the Pharaohs, Into The Coven, Nuns Have No Fun
My Dying Bride - God Is Alone
Nevermore - Beleive In Nothing
Nile - Ramses Bringer of War
Pantera - Cemetary Gates, Fuck The World
Paradise Lost - Dead Emotion, Illumination
All joking aside, I have two Survivor songs (Burning Heart and Eye of the Tiger) on one of my training CDs. It might be cliche as hell, but they're seriously cool songs and I still get really pumped up listening to either or both.
I only listen to that when doing cardio though, and wouldn't really want it for lifting. :-)

Old school thrash rules! Exodus, Slayer, Nuclear Assault, Overkill, Testament... that's some seriously good shit.

I use that towards the middle of a workout when I know i'll be loosing interest and need to get pumped back up; bracketed on either end by minor threat.
Rise Against - Blood to Bleed
Kelly Clarkson, but only the second album, the hard stuff.
