I have a lot of shit to do this week so I need some motivational music. Few songs are as motivating to me as Amon Amarth’s The Way of Vikings. It’s a song about vikings training to be badasses (which, honestly, is the subject of 99% of Amon Amarth’s music):

This week we’re going to listen to some mother fucking Manowar. If you don’t like it leave the hall.

Everybody who knows me knows I’m a fan of the ridiculous. While hair metal may be ridiculous in of itself, Steel Panther cranks it up to 11.

This week we’re going with a song by Tobias Sammet’s supergroup, Avantasia:

For this week I’ve selected some metal from Mongolia. The band is Nine Treasures and it’s a Mongolian folk metal band:

This week we’re listening to Turisas. Although Stand Up and Fight has been out for a few years I only recently heard it. Fear the Fear is my favorite song from that album and is probably my favorite song by the band:
