5 Great bands to listen when you need energy

Have you noticed that sometimes, when you listen some type of music you become more productive, or gives you energy to do some excercise or task? Well, that's why there's some songs/bands that their main thing is the energy they release, not just lyrics. You can see this phenomena usually on the metal genre, specially on those really heavy ones. That makes them perfect for doing some excercises, physical activities like construction, and all of the sort. So this day, i will give you five bands to listen when you need that energy as a motivational jumpstart for your activities. *Disclamer: This is not a top 5, this is just a take of my own taste in music, so maybe they are not the best songs ever, but they are great for me, and hopefully for you, too.* 1. Slayer That's right, one of the legends of Thrash Metal can be used for doing excercises. Mainly because of the constant rythm and energy they display on most of their songs, that makes the body to react to their rythm to a constant level. Curious, huh? I suggest *Angel of death, Implode, You against you,* or *Silent scream.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEnlLqoYZL4 Lyrics: *"I had you back, but it's no use* *False accusations are on the loose* *You know what? It makes no sense that you tied your own noose* *You never felt the sores decay* *Your perfect world is ending today* *So what? I wouldn't have it any other way* *Is this your paradise? You think you thought this through?* *'Cause when you rolled the dice, the house came down on you* *Don't care what you do or say, your suicide begins today* *Have fun in paradise, this hell is just for you* *You against you* *Shitty time to make a stand all without a masterplan, just you* *You against you* *So how's your paradise? Hindsight just laughs at you* *With conflict comes a price, that price weighs heaviest on you* *I guess I should say thanks, dissension in the ranks* *You panic lit the fuel, now it's you against you* *You against you* *Wasn't looking for a fight, but I'm showing up tonight* *Shitty time to make a stand all without a masterplan, just you* *You against you* *The seeds are what you've sown* *Never should have lit that fuse* *Enjoy your paradise* *This hell is just for you* *You against you* *Wasn't looking for a fight, but I'm showing up tonight* *Shitty time to make a stand all without a masterplan, just you* *You against you"* 2. The Haunted To listen this band while you are doing some excercises, is quite powerful, it's like a dog barking at you, and ironically, it get the job done, it's like a great explosion of energy, this is great specially when your are running out of energy to continue, to give all you have left to get through anything. I suggest *Chasm, Shattered, All against all,* and *Silencer.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qtiGpadCWU Lyrics: *"Painful struggle: you're tangled in my web* *Hogtied and worn like a crown on my head* *A notion to move is a motion to burn* *Dare a spark into flames, then roasted they'll learn* *You know there's nowhere to escape* *It's carved in stone I own your fate* *Mute aggression, perpetuate... silencer* *A non-believer will be pistol whipped* *Dropped in the hole then endlessly ripped* *You better step back, you better toe the line* *Don't twitch or stray, don't you fall behind* *Excessive appetite to capitalize* *Another set of morals to realize* *Face down, pinned to the ground* *It's all justified and sound* *Know your place and bow down* *What's good for me is good for you* *You better accept the facts as true* *Gag the suspects who speak their own mind* *The truth is what I say, and not what you find* *With a firing-squad's diplomacy* *Show state-of-art insincerity* *You know there's nowhere to escape* *It's carved in stone, I own your fate* *Your dependency I advocate* *Silencer"* 3. Testament This one i have to admit, it's because i love this band, it has the energy and all, but every song in this band is powerful and energetic, so it fits anyway. I suggest *More than meets the eye*, Low, *Practice what you preach*, and *Into the pit* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVbTXg8x2EA Lyrics: *"You think your life's so grand* *You don't believe a word you say* *Your feet aren't on the ground* *You let your life just slip away* *Just so uncertain of your body and your soul* *The promises you make, your mind so blank* *And then you lose control, then you lose control!* *I never was the one, the one to say the things you say* *Never seem to wonder what you say* *You think you've got your life completely in control* *You've got a lot to learn,* *The bridge you burn is gonna take its toll!!!* *Pay the burnt bridge toll!!!* *So practice what you preach!* *Practice what you preach!* *Preach!* *Practice what you preach!* *Practice what you preach!* *Preach!* *Practice what you preach!* *You think your life's so grand* *You don't believe a word you say* *Your feet aren't on the ground* *You let your life just slip away* *Just so uncertain of your body and your soul* *The promises you make, your mind so blank* *And then you lose control, then you lose control!* *Pay the burnt bridge toll, then you lose control* *Pay the burnt bridge toll, so practice what you preach* *So practice what you preach!* *Preach!* *Practice what you preach!* *Practice what you preach!* *Preach!"* 4. Turmion Kätilöt This Finnish Industrial Metal band has a great rythm for excercises: constant and with a lot of energy, so it can be helpful to follow it . I suggest *Verta ja Lihaa, Sika!, Mista veri pakenee,* and *U.S.C.H.!* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsQUFFMDbZc Lyrics: *"Sekasortaja toteuttaa eutanasiaa* *Tanssittaja kavaljeerinsa kivittää* *Säälittävä journalisti kasvonsa kohottaa* *Hikinen ja perverssi rukoukseksi jumalan* *Nainen, joka lasta kantaa* *Ulkonäöllä raiskataan* *Siitä moraali pohjan saa* *Kertoo toden ja puhuu paskaa* *Nyrkki on vahva ja väkivalta työ* *Veri pakenee* *Nyrkki on vahva ja väkivalta työ* *Veri pakenee* *Isän kädessä on kuri eli nahkavyö* *Mistä veri pakenee sinne vasara lyö* *Hydraulinen propaganda lapset tyydyttää* *Silikoni imettää uutta kansan johtajaa* *Turmeltunut vartalo muoviseksi muutetaan* *Kostea ja elastinen rukoukseksi jumalan* *Nyrkki on vahva ja väkivalta työ* *Mistä veri pakenee sinne vasara lyö* *Isän kädessä on kuri eli nahkavyö* *Mistä veri pakenee sinne vasara lyö* *Sinä vaadit lisää* *Ja periaatteet hukkuvat vihaan* *Tänään aurinko puhtaana aamuun nousi* *Ja vaipui verisenä iltaan* *Sinä vaadit lisää* *Ja periaatteet hukkuvat vihaan* *Tänään aurinko puhtaana aamuun nousi* *Ja vaipui verisenä iltaan"* 5. Rammstein This band has a lot of the other bands have to increase your performance in excercises or working: Energy and constant rythm. But in this case, it has a more calmed tempo. Perfect for working related physical activities. I suggest, Du riechst so gut, Haifisch, Weisses fleisch and Du hast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N40F0x_Xn_A Lyrics: *"Wir halten zusammen,* *Wir halten mit einander aus* *Wir halten zu einander,* *Niemand hält uns auf* *Wir halten euch die Treue* *Wir halten daran fest* *Und halten uns an Regeln* *Wenn man uns Regeln lässt* *Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen* *Und die laufen vom Gesicht* *Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser* *So die Tränen sieht man nicht* *Wir halten das Tempo* *Wir halten unser Wort* *Wenn einer nicht mithält* *Dann halten wir sofort* *Wir halten die Augen offen* *Wir halten uns den Arm* *Sechs Herzen die brennen* *Das Feuer hält euch warm* *Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen* *Und die laufen vom Gesicht* *Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser* *So die Tränen sieht man nicht* *In der Tiefe ist es einsam* *Und so manche Zähre fließt* *Und so kommt es, dass das Wasser* *In den Meeren salzig ist* *Man kann von uns halten* *Was immer man da will* *Wir halten uns schadlos* *Wir halten niemals still* *Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen* *Und die laufen vom Gesicht* *Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser* *So die Tränen sieht man nicht* *In der Tiefe ist es einsam* *Und so manche Zähre fließt* *Und so kommt es, dass das Wasser* *In den Meeren salzig ist* *Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen* *Und die laufen vom Gesicht* *Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser* *So die Tränen sieht man nicht"* That's it for today's article, i hope you've enjoyed it.
