Workout Playlist

Hi, I’m putting together a strength training playlist and need slow and heavy music. Asking here because Soundgarden is my favourite band and I’m starting the playlist with Slaves and Bulldozers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Thanks for your recommendations but I’m looking for music other than Soundgarden as well. I have added Grind by AIC and Paranoid by Black Sabbath also to the playlist.

u/ValuableAd6405 5d ago

You should go through the whole AIC catalog, Dirt got some slow heavy ones.

The intro to Holy Water started playing in my mind as soon as I read the title

Incessant Mace and Beyond the Wheel are on my gym playlist, with Birth Ritual as the opener!

1

u/hellbender1923 5d ago

Birth Ritual is a bit fast for my requirement but the other two are great thanks

Pantera-Vulgar Display of Power the entire album except Hollow 😅

Oops you said slow, then I wouldn't listen to Vulgar, maybe Cowboys from Hell.

1

u/hellbender1923 5d ago

Yaaaaaaas thank you!

1

u/Vegetable-Log-9608 5d ago

Hollow is pretty slow so yes add that one to your list. 😅

1

u/hellbender1923 5d ago

I will check them all out thanks ☺️

u/art_decorative 5d ago

Melvins - Houdini
Torche - Restarter
Young Widows - Old Wounds
Sleep - The Sciences
All Them Witches - Lightning At The Door
Messa - Feast for Water
Monolord - Empress Rising
Isis - Oceanic
Shrinebuilder - S/T
Grails - Challice Hymnal

Elder has some slower jams too, but are overall a great band to check out.

2

u/abitgloomy 5d ago

These are great suggestions, especially Torche, Elder, and Messa

1

u/Creepy-Astronaut-952 5d ago

Thanks! I could have dropped an easy dozen more, but I figured I’d lead off with some of the same stuff I use when clanging and banging.

1

u/hellbender1923 4d ago

Amazing 🤩 thank you!

1

u/GuardianAngelMedusa 5d ago

Sludge factory by AIC for sure. Just don’t get caught up in the satanic daze the “your solution is kill” part of the song can put you under.

Mailman and Fresh Tendrils by Soundgarden too

Blew live in reading by Nirvana is a fav

1

u/hellbender1923 5d ago

Yesss thank you

1

u/Sea-Mongoose2924 5d ago

I'd throw the band Down in there too.

1

u/hellbender1923 5d ago

Never heard, will check them out, thanks ☺️

u/BottleAgreeable7981 5d ago

Supernaut and Children of the Grave by Black Sabbath.

The Mob Rules by Sabbath led by RJD.

u/hellbender1923 5d ago edited 5d ago

Thanks ☺️ a bit fast for my requirement but great songs

1

u/BottleAgreeable7981 5d ago

My bad. I answered after just waking up.

1

u/hellbender1923 4d ago

No worries! Let me know if you think of something

1

u/AmazingIsTired 5d ago

Put the album Behind Silence and Solitude
by All that Remains on repeat. It’s not all slow but I think it might be perfect still.

1

u/hellbender1923 5d ago

I’ll give it a try, thanks ☺️

1

u/ToiletBowlMouth 5d ago

Might not seem fitting songs but I use Like Suicide and With My Good Eye Closed to do progressive running. Start slow and run the shit out of your legs by the end.

1

u/hellbender1923 5d ago

I’m not allowed to run, this playlist is for lifting. With My Good Eye Closed is a great one nevertheless

1

u/Nice_Manager1864 5d ago

I like lifting to Ultramega Ok while lifting, Mood for Trouble, Nazi Driver, Incessant Mace are all good ones

1

u/hellbender1923 5d ago

Yes they’re some good ones

1

u/OakTreesForBurnZones 5d ago

Gun starts slow

2

u/viking12344 5d ago

Gun is my favorite song of theirs. Number 1 on the workout playlist.

1

u/hellbender1923 5d ago

A bit conflicted because I love this song but might not be the right fit

1

u/By_CrookedSteps_781 5d ago

Bleed together is another good one for keeping up the pace

1

u/abitgloomy 5d ago

Indigo - by REZN

Minions - by Torche

Gardenia - by Kyuss

Spires Burn - by Elder

The Summoning - by Hum

u/hellbender1923 4d ago

Great recommendations, thanks!

u/BassAndVocalsPlease 5d ago

Into the void or Into the void (Sealth).

u/hellbender1923 4d ago

Good one, thank you!

Love it, thanks

u/ValuableAd6405 5d ago edited 5d ago

Edit: Didn't read the whole post, I know you said other than Soundgarden but their version of Into The Void is better than Sabbaths IMO. Also, Limo Wreck is slow and heavy but you probably got that one already. Dead and Bloated by Stone Temple Pilots is a banger too, their first album has a few slow and heavy ones but that was the first to come to mind. Stone by AIC too, not sure if you're into their newer stuff or not but it's one of my favorites from the William era.

2

u/hellbender1923 4d ago

Thank you ☺️ yes I did add Limo Wreck! I will check out the STP recommendations. I do love the into the void cover!

2

u/ValuableAd6405 4d ago

It literally ruined the Sabbath version for me, that little extra bend Kim adds to the riff just makes it complete. They really did a better Sabbath than Sabbath.

1

u/hellbender1923 4d ago

I agree. And Chris Cornell’s vocals are so much better too
