ARNOCORPS. Crossover punk/thrash with a guy who sounds like Arnie yelling encouragement directly lifted from the best action movies. Makes you fell like a goddamn hero.

OBITUARY. Use this when lifting weights. Slow and powerful. And you can sing along when you strain. URRGGHH

SWANSONG ERA CARCASS. Nice tempo for running and not too mental.

I wish I could do the long-distance thang’ but I was never any good at running. I get the (in)famous “side stitch” rather quickly.

Nice blog – I stumbled over from the great INVISIBLE ORANGES blog.

*thanks for listing THE REFUSED, damn I kinda’ forgot about that release over the years. There are some great tracks on that CD!

I think I could probably handle the HIGH ON FIRE to exercise too, but getting into some CARCASS?! Yikes…I don’t know about that one.

I recently got off my lazy bum and walked (literally) 5 steps over to the “metal” treadmill and proceeded to walk/jog and put on some old CANDLEMASS, good so far….then as I got faster I put on some EXODUS and when I was at my peak I started getting a weird “claustrophobic” feeling.

don’t know why but that great (but faster/heavier) music just messed me all up!

Take care,
