The 100 Best Heavy Metal Workout Songs of All Time (Men's Health)

"Basic gym bros will tell you that trap or "old-school Eminem" is the best music to listen to you when you work out. That's fine. A good beat can push you through a tough workout. But nothing seizes you like metal. Nothing digs its claws into the very squishy center of your reptilian brain and commandeers your FIGHT instincts like metal. And nothing captures the agony—the blood, the sweat, and the toil—of a grueling, punishing workout session like metal. Hip hop? Sure, if you want to bop your head along to a few bars between sets. But if you want to rage and pummel and conquer, then it is heavy metal and only heavy metal. Particularly these 100 of the best heavy metal songs of all time, presented with no order or ranking. Just pure chaos. As it should be." - menshealth.com
