Metalheads Unite!

[LordHeathen]

Hello everyone,

I get fit by using the high tempo of my favourite metal songs to either run, spin, or swim (yes I have a waterproof armband and headphones, check amazon).

So, I am looking to make friends with like minded metalheads who want to share how they are inspired or get fit with MEEEEeettttallll!!!

I love metal! I'm mostly into folk metal but depending on my mood, I listen to other stuff as well. My favorite bands for workouts are Turisas, Korpiklaani, and Tyr. And a little bit of Ensiferum. 

I just went to an Alestorm concert the other day and got in quite a few steps in the mosh pit. Got a few bruises too.

@Crylo You like the good stuff! I listen to folk most of the times, the same bands you just mentioned. I saw Ensiferum and Finntroll live back in 2011, it was awesome. 

I'll love to see Korpiklaani live... or Alestorm, actually, I was watching Alestorm live gigs yesterday on Youtube. Those pirates are funny and very good! They always do a wall of death while playing Captain Morgan's Revenge!

I was just linked to this thread and I'm so happy to see lots of metalheads here!  I love using metal for workouts - Sabaton, Amon Amarth, and Dethklok are my faves for getting pumped up 🙂  

Also love Korpiklaani and Alestorm because they're so upbeat!

My current favorite song to walk to on my lunch breaks!

@Noctilca I just listened to that Dethlok's song. Simply awesome, great punch, it encourages you to walk more in some way! Gotta love that riff! \m/ 

I like to listen Death when I'm walking, specifically The Sound of Perseverance album, it is so awesome, old school, and heavy. Gotta love Death! 

Thanks for sharing!

Reviving this thread...

New Wintersun album The Forest Seasons really get me moving!

I find metal perfect for workout and all in all I'm stuck with music of the power metal band from Finland "Battle Beast" - excellent when you want to keep the pace 🙂 They have some songs that one might consider as motivating 😉
