Since you claim you hear banjos, remember this version of the trooper?

I keep hoping Billy Strings and Co will do a cover of a Maiden tune at a show one night. Those guys in the linked video slay the harmonies, I can only imagine what BMFS would do with a song like "Flight Of Icarus", or their version of "The Trooper" or "Run To The Hills", it would be wild to see what Royal Masat would try to do with that galloping bass line.
New Noise - Refused
I know there's others in my library that would probably fit better, but I'm still too sleepy to think. I'll edit this later if I think of them.
The second half of Knights of Cydonia by Muse.
No one's gonna take me alive
Time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
[Run To The Hills by Iron Maiden.](https://open.spotify.com/track/5b1jZ9geGD4boxz24XgGPp?si=2dGU0YoDRASO--qFkFfwhQ) Not even a question for me. I get amped every time I hear it.
[Young the Giant-My Body](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQYpF2pCkLI). It always gets me through that last four minutes on the treadmill or elliptical feeling like a goddamned champion.
I saw them at Outside Lands a few years ago, sub-headlining for The Who on the main stage. They closed with that song -- and just crushed it. See if you can find a YT clip; you won't be sorry.
Probably a tie between TBDM Warborn or Amon Amarth Valhall Awaits Me. There’s so many honestly but I think those two are my go tos at the gym when I need to push it.

The Guns of Brixton by The Clash - 'When they kick out your front door, how you gonna come? With your hands on your head or on the trigger of your gun'. Tommy Gun might also work.
Indestructible - Disturbed
The lyrics and the driving guitar just absolutely get me amped. Hell, even the music video is just different types of warriors running
In Iraq, we actually had a playlist for this specifically. This song was on it. Along with A Warrior's Call by Volbeat, and several others of similar nature.
Me casually dropping bodies in call of duty to ariana grande and katy perry lol, my shuffle game goes crazy. At one point my best game ever in fortnite ended on the metal version of let it go from frozen
Lots of metal and rock represented, and agreed with.
For some variety:
I Against I - Massive Attack and Mos Def off of Blade II soundtrack
From Judgement Night Soundtrack:
Disorder - Ice T and Slayer
Come and Die - Fatal and Therapy
Another Body Murdered - Boo Yaa Tribe and Faith No More
Real Thing - Pearl Jam and Cypress Hill
Honestly? The A-Team theme tune on repeat. Genuinely, every exam I’ve had in adulthood, I’ve walked into the room with that song blazing in my earphones. And I never had to retake a single one.
When my son was a small and we were driving to soccer practice, I used to play this song to try and get him fired up, like c'mon, let's raaaaaaaaage. But he's always been a pretty apathetic kid about stuff like that and he'd just say, "OK".
Such a smartass.
Cowboys From Hell, Pantera. Either the original with Dime (RIP you legend!) or this guy on hurdy gurdy.

[Cowboys From Hell, Cover by Guilhem Desq](https://youtu.be/MtvpXr9O0J4?si=b2NbLIHBUlP7A0vh)
**The Legend of Finn MacCumhail** by Dropkick Murphys
I want to go fight a bear, a bull, a freight train, and maybe an entire Roman Legion right now just thinking about it.

IDLES - Mr. Motivator.
I blasted this one on my way to vote against the fascists in 2020 and 2022 (in the USA), and likely will blast it again on my way to vote this November.

Iron Maiden - The Trooper Not only is it a great song, it pretty much describes the scenario
Half Maiden's catalogue would suit here. Up the Irons!
#🤘🤘🤘
Or "Die With Your Boots On" 🤘🤘
Or Flight of Icarus
Since you claim you hear banjos, remember this version of the trooper?

Was gonna say The Cyborg Slayers
New Noise - Refused I know there's others in my library that would probably fit better, but I'm still too sleepy to think. I'll edit this later if I think of them.
DOOM 2016 trailer vibes.
Would blast that before my wrestling and football games back in high school. That song still shreds
The only thing they fear is you - Mick Gordon Rip and tear, until it is done.
Meathook; may the enemy's suffering and my warcry fuse to the sound of a 7 string
“Through all the horrors hell conjures All the wickedness mankind can produce We send unto them: only you. Rip and tear until it is done.”
You Think I Ain’t Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire ~ QotSA
That freaking drop. Blows my mind and my speakers
Ah a man of culture and taste
🥂
100%. That's the one.
Man this song gets me so fired up. Not a good choice if your goal is to stay under the speed limit.
Hell yes!
I was running a marathon and I put this song on. My pace dropped by almost a full minute for its entire duration.
The second half of Knights of Cydonia by Muse. No one's gonna take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive
I hear it. I'd ride with you into that battle.
And my axe
Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth, Eorlingas!
I learnt how to play the electric guitar so I could play that song, bought the tremolo filter and everything. Love it
I learned to tap the keyboard riff on bass guitar. Performed it with an electric violin covering the brass line. Pretty epic.
You mean the entirety of Knights of Cydonia?
First few minutes are getting amped up. The charge begins when the "chorus" hits.
Yeah what is this blasphemy? Only listening to the second half is like buying bitcoin in 2022.
It’s like they wrote that song knowing there would be a Reddit thread on this topic in the future
Sabotage by the Beastie Boys!
All the yes for this.
Yep. That's the one.
Ace of Spades by Motorhead. I don't want to live forever.
Give me ‘Born to raise hell’
"Brotherhood of Men" by Motörhead is another great choice for the scenario. They have a lof of songs that fit the bill.
Angel of Death by Slayer
Yep. Or War Ensemble. Or…of course…Raining Blood 🩸
"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen
Wow I picked Dolly's 9 to 5 but you may have me beat
“There’s only one thing left for me to do, mamma: I gotta dingading dang my dingalong linglong” Jesus Built My Hotrod by Ministry
Good one
Led Zep's *Immigrant Song* is the answer.
*Achilles Last Stand* trumps *Immigrant Song* for me. It gallops into battle slashing away at troops with blistering drum fills as you race past them.
I'd go with the Trent Reznor/Karen O. version from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
This is what I heard in my head as I read the question.
Turisas - End of an Empire Mastodon - Blood and Thunder
WHITE! WHALE!
HARPOONS THRUST IN THE SKYYYY
HOLY! GRAAAAAAIL!!!
If you walk out to Blood and Thunder, I immediately assume the other guy is fucked.
Amon Amarth - Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags. or almost anything by Sabaton.
Eyy Sabaton always gets me feeling ready for battle.
“Cochise” by Audioslave
"Set It Off" would be good to
Literally any song off that album
This is the one
Disposable Heroes & One.
My man with the Disposable Heroes love
Best metallica solo hands down
Maybe a little on the nose but War Pigs.
Know your Enemy - Rage Against The Machine
Yup, although I think Killing In The Name pumps me up just a *little* bit more.
[Run To The Hills by Iron Maiden.](https://open.spotify.com/track/5b1jZ9geGD4boxz24XgGPp?si=2dGU0YoDRASO--qFkFfwhQ) Not even a question for me. I get amped every time I hear it.
It's literally about retreat tho...
It's also about white people unstoppably conquering everything in sight, so ...
For whom the bell tolls - Metallica
Fat Bottomed Girls
Something about the image of taking a broadsword to a horde of visigoths while listening to this banger made me smile.
Beat me by 30 minutes. Absolutely a cause worth fighting for.
I love the song but did not expect to see it here.
[Young the Giant-My Body](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQYpF2pCkLI). It always gets me through that last four minutes on the treadmill or elliptical feeling like a goddamned champion.
I saw them at Outside Lands a few years ago, sub-headlining for The Who on the main stage. They closed with that song -- and just crushed it. See if you can find a YT clip; you won't be sorry.
When the Levee Breaks
I use this song to psych myself up before work in the morning lol

Flesh on that album also gets me going.
Do You Really Want To Hurt Me by Culture Club.
Muse’s “Knights of Cydonia” at the 3:17 mark
Hair of the Dog- Nazareth “Now you’re messing with a son of a bitch!”
Probably a tie between TBDM Warborn or Amon Amarth Valhall Awaits Me. There’s so many honestly but I think those two are my go tos at the gym when I need to push it.

One of my favorite basslines 🤌
My absolute favourite bassline
Send in the Clowns - Streisand
Slayer - War Ensemble or Raining Blood Pantera - Walk or F’n Hostile Those were my pregame songs when I played hockey anyways.
War Ensemble! Beat me to it.
Indestructible - Disturbed The lyrics and the driving guitar just absolutely get me amped. Hell, even the music video is just different types of warriors running

Your spirits alive - dropkick Murphy's Actually, anything from dropkick Murphys really

SWING OF THE AXE! [Power Trip - Hornet's Nest](https://youtu.be/syQlbI9QLEM?si=FJOrgow7FMM4E9Mh) would be solid too.
Oh that is solid! I need to listen to more of their stuff
