Beat yourself up its fun.
A** Kicking, Rock and Roll!
The title of this post is more literal than you might think. I’ve gotten back into mixed martial arts, Pancak Silat and Muay Thai but mostly Silat. Of course there is background music with the purpose of motivating. Typically metal, the likes of Motorhead, the Beastie Boys, etc.. I believe we’re just recycling the same tracks and I’ve been hoping for a while, to enlighten our sparing sessions with something fresh. I need recommendations for mindless music that will make people get pissed off and wanna beat each other up.
Thanks!

Bought the Japanese edition while back. Newer stuff past 20 years is so far off from the Mike Kiske era, goddann did he have range for a metal singer! I miss him, bought his first solo cd long time ago, was NOT what I expected. very cool your friends voice in immortal. in Lansing ,Illinois, I was asked to go on stage and introduce Meliah Rage, good times. Classic metal fest was there for years, met lots bands, signed my records, posters etc etc..only a handful of ickdays, most were cool. wrath solitude aeturnus, metalucifer, Barry from wargasm, oh man, too many bands to think now. called,classic metal fest, they were held at Reggie’s in Chicago too, Voivod, Black Death, Saxon, LOTS great bands, I miss those metal,fests, tons of awesome bands for $20. despise that sewage scum of a hitholesay city. |
@arcticdeth - lotsa good stuff there! On the newest Helloween, on the first track, a friend of mine in England does the spoken word bit! Not quite Orson Welles with Manowar, but cool nonetheless! |

No one has yet laughed at this. C’mon comrades!
Alrighty then ... second half gents. Give thy OP more of what he has coming, A$$ kicking material. Helmet - In The Meantime

@tomxena ‘s recommendation of Brighter Death Now gets a big thumbs up but might over the heads of 99% of this group. |
@dabel ...so it's been 'Burning Down the House' for at least one episode of Another Miserable Day in Paradise....:( ? Every one gets a sh*t sandwich on occasion...hopefully with bread, but.... There's always this retort of sort: ...burn your subs out... ;) |
@asvjerry I about almost burnt down me home up there in Yankee Village, Algonquin Mich .… 😬 The roof the roof, the roof is on fire … we don’t need no water let the mutha fugga burn … more 😬 I never know where I’m going, I’ve only known where I’m from. Now bring that beat in!
System of a Down - Toxicity Edit: great post btw. Loved it 😂

What you want is a consistent driving amped-up atmosphere. Put it on and play it all the way through album. If it gives you the scrunched up nose like you smelled something bad, even better. So ... Metal with training wheels (very accessible): Dee Snider - For The Love Of Metal Grim Reaper - Rock You To Hell Primal Fear - Delivering The Black
A little bit heavier: Testament - The Ritual (A driving album from start to finish ... accessible to most ... mildest of this category) Fight - A Small Deadly Space (Rob Halford's band)
The next step up (vocals start to become harsh): Testament - Demonic (A little more brutal) Born From Pain - Sands of Time (Even more brutal, but with consistent drive. This is the kind of stuff I listen to while weightlifting) Hatebreed - Perseverance (like Born From Pain, Hatebreed is of the hardcore genre, and hardcore is definitely made for fighting) Feasting On Darkness - The Black Cloud (instrumental ... if you just want the brutality w/o the extreme vocals) Feasting On Darkness - Souls of Chaos (instrumental) D.A.M. - Human Wreckage Benediction - Killing Music (Appropriate name huh? ... now we're delving into mild "death" metal) Crowbar - The Serpent Only Lies
Drop the hammer: This is the point where the vocals might be a problem for the uninitiated and the music may just be too heavy, but if not, these are some really driving brutal albums ... Dyscarnate - With All Their Might (this album makes me want to lift a house) The Destro - Harmony Of Discord Cataract - With Triumph Comes Loss Stampin' Ground - Carved From Empty Words Imprisoned - Hard To Kill Born Low - The Hunger Within (EP ... only 15 minutes) Deicide - In The Minds Of Evil (a little faster, but still driving)
I also second the Pantera recommendations, especially Vulgar. And also the Pantera clone Throwdown - Venom & Tears |
To all, thank you. I’ve been listening to those mentioned bands that are available on Tidal. I hadn’t realized that there were metal bands who layered orchestration behind guitars, bass and drums. Also, one of the bands mentioned, happened to be a group which a personal friend of mine played guitar for, so it was interesting to hear that. It will take a while for me to sort through every band mentioned but I will carry out that task to the best of my ability. We have some C and A class MMA fighters in our group and I’ll be happy to hand out compilation cd’s to them as inspiration. |
Napalm Death “Apex Predator Easy Meat” skip the weak Metallica/Megadeth stuff. |
@dabel ...."....I'm done." *Tsk* Some people....start a fire, toss some gas about...then split. *sheesh* I guess it's some of the 'things' I've posted of late..... "You 'drop weird stuff..." (Well, you asked....🤷♂️) Come back, little dabel.....Sheba did, eventually....;) |
