Workout music!

[Epyon6]

So I'm trying to add to my metal workout playlist. Specifically instrumental songs that are very driving sounding that gets me all pumped. Anyone got any suggestions? So far I only have:

Archspire - The Kairos Chamber
Abnormality - Catalyst of Metamorphosis

Metal playlist? You're doing it all wrong. There's only three songs you need and it's these.

Nothing else.

Hmmm I have different take.

Going to the gym: Epic music (Two Steps From Hell)
In the actual gym: Aggressive stuff (Iced Earth)
After the gym: Reggae

EDIT: added some stuff, for some reason I like IE as workout music..

 

[DXL]

Load that playlist up with Amon Amarth and you'll be just fine

 

[Veldar]

Daft punk, the Presets & Waves compilations.

I can't listen to metal when I work out, unless it is some kind of industrial version in the style of early Fear Factory and early Rammstein.

I really enjoy training with the Les Mills soundtrack. Did a couple of rounds of Les Mills combat back then, and the music was so good I could have trained for hours and hours without feeling down or fatigued. Now I use those songs for every cardio workout.

I can't lift big weights any more, after a back injury, but I tended to be music free, as I like to focus on my heartbeat and breathing rhythm.

In all seriousness no workout soundtrack is complete with out these three gems of songs:









Depending on how metrosexual you are you may want to add some ABBA to your workout playlist.

 

[ProtoTechDeath]

I don't think anything gets my blood pumping faster than Insect Warfare while at the gym.

 

[TonyFlyingSquirrel]

Rob Zombie: Hellbilly Deluxe

 

[Mathemagician]

All that remains. So catchy. I only listen to straight bangers.

Children of Bodom
Unearth
Katy Perry - be careful with pop songs, you may sing it out loud when the place is silent
Tiger Army
Most AFI
The Absence

 

[Unleash The Fury]

trivium - becoming the dragon

soil work - blind eye halo

darkane - solitary confinement

mercenary - welcome the sickness

...., sorry to hear about that back injury man. Did you get it from lifting weights?

 

[GalacticDeath]

Epic soundtracks and metal are great for working out.
Combine the two and all of a sudden you're lifting some heavy ass weight.

I've been working out almost daily for 25 years. Lately it's Benighted, Origin, and other grind-type bands that get me amped up. But old Sick of It All and Agnostic Front are also good.

 

[JoeChugs]

I'm not a big deathcore guy whatsoever, but that genre gets me going I'm the gym the most

 

[Berserker]

I like a nice slice of metallic hardcore for my workouts:

Stampin' Ground
Sworn Enemy
Merauder
Full Blown Chaos
Knuckledust
etc.

Or some Rollins Band always gets me fired up.

 

[Roland777]

He is legend - It hates you
Strapping Young Lad - Alien
Lamb of God - Sacrament
Slipknot - Iowa
Sonic Mayhem - Quake 3 Arena: Noise

Should get you rolling.

Meshuggah

As a poster above said, you can never go wrong with Amon Amarth at the gym.

To answer your OP more specifically, the first instrumental song that popped in my head was "Man Made God" by In Flames. Should get your blood pumping!! In fact, add any early In Flames to your gym playlist as well.
