Music for the Preparation of Exercising Assertiveness

[Chance]

I was putting together a playlist of any stirring MP3s I had that leant themselves to... let's say, increased focus and situational awareness (read: really loud and really aggressive music). I'm always in search of new bands and songs, so I figured I would post my list here. Anyone and everyone is welcome to contribute. This is music you would put on when getting ready to work out, head to the range, get on the mat, et cetera.

The entire first Hatebreed LP (Satisfaction is the death of desire) is the greatest weightlifting and/or beating-to-death music ever written. If you could record testosterone, it would sound like that album.

Being 40, my tastes revolve around '80s punk/hardcore.

Septic Death is a good one. Pushead from Septic Death has done a lot of artwork for Metallica releases over the decades.

7 Seconds. From Reno, Nevada. The early '80s stuff is best.
