Today`s list features 10 songs that should be in every metalhead`s gym playlist.
All of these songs have high-intensity riffs that give you the energy you need to finish that last set of Bulgarian split squats.
Let’s not waste any time—it’s that time of the month to work out those glutes!
Trivium – Feast of fire
The song stands out with its anthemic chorus, dynamic guitar work, and introspective lyrics that explore themes of ambition, struggle, and self-discovery.
Goodbye To Gravity – Four Minutes Of Rage
With aggressive riffs, pounding drums, and intense vocals, the song captures a sense of urgency and defiance, reflecting themes of frustration and rebellion.
Kvelertak – Likvoke
Unlike their more high-energy songs, Likvoke leans into a darker, more melancholic tone, with eerie melodies and a slow-burning intensity that builds throughout.
Kind of like how you feel when you pump those barbell bench presses.
Linkin Park – By Myself
It perfectly captures the angst and energy that defined Linkin Park’s early sound.
Now its your turn to take that energy and put it into something that`s great for your health!
In Flames – Deliver Us
Lyrically, Deliver Us explores themes of inner struggle and longing for escape, making it both relatable and powerful.
Bathory – Holocaust
With its chaotic, lo-fi production, relentless tremolo riffs, and Quorthon’s harsh, echoing vocals, the song creates an atmosphere of darkness and destruction.
Holocaust is a great pick for those who use the gym as an escape from the darkness in the world.
Amorphis – The Bee
The lyrics, inspired by Finnish mythology, depict a mystical bee that seeks honey from the Great Beyond, symbolizing wisdom, transformation, and a journey into the unknown.
In a gym full of heavy weights and voices in your head, you should aspire to be The Bee, for change comes from within your desire to seek a healthier life.
Bloodywood – Ari Ari
The song takes inspiration from the traditional Punjabi folk song Baari Barsi and transforms it into a high-energy anthem of empowerment, perseverance, and joy.
Ensiferum – In My Sword I Trust
The song is a powerful anthem of defiance, resilience, and warrior spirit.
The lyrics tell the story of a warrior standing against oppression, relying only on their sword for justice and survival.
Lamb Of God – Walk With Me In Hell
The song explores themes of devotion, struggle, and enduring hardship alongside someone, often interpreted as a metaphor for personal battles or relationships.
