Recommend me some songs to add to my workout playlist. Most of you know me as mainly a black metal guy. When it comes to working out, I definitely dig death metal. HOOK A BROTHA UP WITH SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. Inverticrux and GSS are already at the top of the playlist so need to recommend them.

Some black metal could even be appropriate for working out, such as
Setherial - Hell Eternal
Marduk - Panzer Division Marduk
Niden Div. 187 - Impergium
Antaeus - Cut Your Flesh and Worship Satan
Zyklon-B - Blood Must Be Shed
Dude, i'll give you a list:
Distrurbed
Slipknot
Mudvayne
Pantera
even get some thrashy shit in there like Slayer dude.
Dude sometimes people throw on that loud stuff. i cant understand what they are saying and it gives me headaches. the shit in my list blows that stuff away and pumps me up dude.
hey dude, do you like dubstep?
not all death metal songs but all are good to work out to IMO
Alice Cooper - Elected
U.D.O. - Rev-Raptor
Rude Awakening - Erosion
Sam Black Church - New God Science
Obituary - Redefine
Napalm Death - Section
Cathedral - Copper Sunset
Madball - Waste of Time
Gorguts - Waste of Mortality
Volatile - Lot Lizard
Just throw everything on shuffle, make sure to have plenty of bad music in the mix as motivation to get it done faster.
Distance pacers:
Burzum - Dunkelheit
Bothy Band - Old Hag You Have Killed Me
most T-Rex tracks
Beach Boys - Kokomo is a great pace setter for a long (10k+) run
Dead Prez
Goldberg Variations
Golden Palominos - Victim
Death In June and similar
Siouxsie Sioux & the Banshees and most similar old goth rock
spoken word/audiobooks
Speedwork & hill repeats:
trashy 90s pop e.g. Backstreet Boys/Britney/*NSync
Nightfall In Middle Earth, of course
non-ballad Nick Cave songs
Scaphism/Composted/Boarcorpse split for hill repeats
Girl Talk - Feed The Animals
Drowningman - Busy Signal at the Suicide Hotline
Rite of Spring
any and all glam rock
Judas Iscariot has been great for sprints and hill repeats
I like to save the DM albums for those last few miles or those big hills; I don't know a lot about the genre (you probably already know all of these albums) but I do know that it's awesome for speed work and the HI part of HIIT:
Pestilence - Malleus Maleficarum
Atheist
Asphyx - Last One On Earth
Master - S/T
Sadist - Above the Light
Incubus - Serpent Temptation
Massacre - From Beyond
Seance - Forever Laid to Rest

bolt thrower, amon amarth, tears for fears, heavy trance and idm.
Amon Amarth is great for working out. Anything with a marching beat so bolt thrower and asphyx.
I actually probably listen to obsidian tongue at the gym more than I probably should.
today I had something wicked slow playing like burning witch. it was demotivation city. I also don't know why the band Wire comes up on my ipod so much.

Thanks for this, I did some intervals the other day with OT on the high-intensity parts and Buffy Ste. Marie on the low-intensity parts and it was seriously awesome
Slow music is helpful if you're terrible at setting a slower pace for increasing distance
I will say this though. Two of my most memorable workout/music experiences were the most intense chest routine ever set to Burning Witch, and a 6 mile run on a deserted balmy Wollaston Beach set to Sewer Goddess.
Hey you, yeah you the tattooed up Hesher thrashing to Bolt Thrower in your room. You need to get in shape in a bad way and headbanging to Seasons in the Abyss isn't cutting it anymore. Thus I present the hesher approved work out plan. It works, I should know because as the official merch little sister of metal I once stenciled a Disma logo on a pink 2lb kettlebell I got from Target. My workout plan is in the vein of all the classic black metal weightlifters, Patera, Planet Fitness, Iron Gym and Abglider. Fusing all of those with a workout playlist from the grim ice dales that gets you pumped to do bicep curls with your back, knee pushups and completely avoid squats. But the key to it all is overcoming adversity by striking back at a society that discourages hessian heavy lifting, you won't find such an oppressive state in Dyker Heights so you're gonna have to leave Brooklyn for an ultra repressive anti-metal society. The perfect place to get shredded on broscience while sticking it in the face of the anti-hesher squares? A frozen kingdom where metal is crime and fitness is law, Nordictrac.
