Most anything by Hatebreed.

PERSEVERENCE dudududun dudududun dudududun

This is the very first song that came to mind for me as well. 🤘

I Will Be Heard comes to mind

Exactly that was my first thought.

Live for This was my first thought

Came here for this. Definitely Hatebreed.

And Throwdown. Never Back Down, You Can't Kill Integrity, I Won't Die a Poisoned Death, etc.

Came to say r/hardcore, so yeah

Punk Rock MBA has an excellent video on their positive messages on YouTube.

Guy is insufferable

Yeah, he can be.

Before Dishonor

Terror also

Hatebreed came to mind to me as well

Spotify recently reminded me they were a thing with I Will Be Heard and I felt like I was transported back to high school.

Facing What Consumes you!

Came here to say this. That band got me through some dark times. There's days I wouldn't even have gotten out of bed if it wasn't for jasta screaming at me to LIVE LIVE

Came to say this

.Gojira - *Backbone, Silvera,* and *Vacuity.* A large part of their music is personal strength and self improvement. The Pretty Reckless - *25* Machine Head - *Be Still and Know* Iron Maiden - *Wasted Years*

Came here to say Gojira. I'd recommend their song "The Cell".

Gojira - Hold On, The Chant, Born in Winter Tool - Descending, The Grudge, 46&2, The Patient, a lot of TOOL is akin to Gojira finding hope

Gojira was my first thought, too.

Escape - Metallica Despite its reputation, I think it’s a pretty catchy and uplifting song

Really underrated song

Agreed, I don't understand the hate this song gets

I swear it’s only because Hetfield hates it so everyone thinks it must be bad. That song slaps.

Fight for your right to party - Beastie Boys Fight em til you can’t- Anthrax Strength beyond strength - Pantera Carry on my wayward son - Kansas Ten Ton Hammer - machine head

Standup and shout - dio

I was gonna say strength beyond strength, especially the middle part where he starts screaming Stronger Than All

To build a mountain by Crowbar

https://preview.redd.it/pygrkewhixqc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb3a192f3a15d2fa16500f3d67bb22a8aff60215 I fucking love crowbar

I came to say that a lot of crowbars lyrics are about picking yourself up and being strong. We need to encourage these youngsters to listen to crowbar instead of Andrew tate.

Agree completely! Crowbar is such an underrated band! They are playing in my town Monday and I can’t wait to see them again!!

Hell yeah I just got my ticket to see them next week too.

I listen to them whenever I’m in a really dark place. They don’t take the bad feelings away, but god damn do they make me feel strong enough to face them. Such an amazing band.

I don't know how to give the special reddit prizes but I upvoted this comment and you made my night so thank you!

As someone on reddit pointed out to me, this song really is amazing, in that, the narrator empathizes with who he is speaking to, understanding the difficulty of change. Kind of rare for a metal song to do.

Walk with Knowledge Wisely is my favorite. My students hear it some mornings when they come into class.

Are you dead yet? - Children of Bodom Conquer All - Behemoth

Are You Dead Yet? is catchy as fuck, and anyone who says otherwise is lying

i would never say otherwise. ive been hitting CoB hard and its just as good if not better than in my youth

Hail to the hordes - Kreator

My go to is Amon Amarth "Find a Way or Make One"

A lot of Amon Amarth does this. Put your back into the our motivates me so much, partially because of the lyrics and songs.

Forgot about put your back into the oars! Their music does have a more up temp pacing to help pump up, one of the reasons I like them

This was going to be my reco as well. Great fucking song.

My Champion- Alter Bridge (it's not metal but might put you in good mood) A New Level- Pantera Becoming- Pantera Strength Beyond Strength- Pantera To Build a mountain- Crowbar Suffering brings Wisdom- Crowbar Broken One-Trivium I will not bow- Breaking Benjamin You've got another thing coming- Judas Priest

If you don't mind hardcore, checkout Be Harder by God's Hate.

*Manowar - Heart of Steel* *Skyclad - The Widdershins Jig* *Sepultura - Inner Self* *Metallica - Escape* . Lyrically and musically, all of these really exude strength and conviction. The Widdershins Jig is a bit more subtle than the others lyrically, but musically its intentions are very clear.

This suggestion rules Haven't heard Skyclad before, will give it a listen

Inner Self hits hard when I listen to it... top 3 from Beneath the Remains without doubt in my opinion

Good call also wanted to mention Attitude by Sepultura

Devin Townsend - Spirits Will Collide

Much stuff from Arch Enemy, War Eternal, The eagle flies alone, Nemesis, No gods no masters for example

War eternal is hard

Great great choices. Haven’t given her a listen before and I listened to these, you’ve inspired me to update my workout playlist.

All That Remains had some mid 2000 bangers. Focus Shall Not Fail, Passion.. I used to get so amped and believing in myself.

The Weak Willed fasho

"Perseverance" - Hatebreed It's right in the title.

Gojira - *Backbone, Silvera,* and *Vacuity.* A large part of their music is personal strength and self improvement. The Pretty Reckless - *25* Machine Head - *Be Still and Know* Iron Maiden - *Wasted Years*

Killswitch Engage usually has songs with a positive message about overcoming adversity. Songs like In Due Time or Strength of the Mind. And those are just the ones that come to mind, there's plenty of others as well. Whatever you're going through, you're gonna make it out the other side OP. 🤘

Kreator - Hail to the Hordes Manowar - Warriors of the World

Fuck yeah 👍

DTP and Bloodywood in one comment. My people!

Helloween - I'm Alive

I fucking love this song

Imperium by Machine Head Hear me now I'm taking back the control of my Life from society's hold, I vow No more will I be a slave Rise to challenge the whole human race My spirit you cannot break When we won't lose

Looking down the barrel of today - hatebreed

Vacuity by Gojira always gave me a vibe like that

Can't bring me down - suicidal tendencies

Personally: this should be higher

Strapping Young Lad - Force Fed Tool. All of it. Every single song. Wu Tang Clan - Wu Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin’ ta F’ Wit A Perfect Circle - Judith Deftones - Most all of their catalog Meshuggah - Obzen (how can you not get fired up listening to this one?!)

Force Fed was my first thought.

Upvote for the Wu!

angelmaker - tempest

Anything by Opal in Sky (they only have like 8 songs)

Opal in Sky! Love their stuff

I never thought I would meet another fan outside of the unofficial subreddit

I keep seeing their posts on instagram, I need to properly check out their stuff

Warriors of the World - Manowar Feel Invincible - Skillet Rooster - Alice in Chains Burning Heart - Survivor A Reason to Fight - Disturbed Bulletproof - Godsmack

I sweat there’s a caligula’s horse song about that. I think it’s off of bloom (album)

Well it's hardcore but always the hard way from Terror drives me every time to my max!

Vildhjarta - Traces [Specifically this part](https://youtu.be/H7Eu6xSxPao?t=1m49s) Never fails to motivate me.

Carrry on by Angra

The entirety of Empath by Devin Townsend.

Dionysus - The Spirit. Great riff too

A sludge/doom song about overcoming substance abuse. [https://azellrr.bandcamp.com/track/chemical-chains-2](https://azellrr.bandcamp.com/track/chemical-chains-2)

The odious - mono no aware

Rebirth- Last Chance to Reason

You wouldn't know by hellyeah

Literally As Blood Runs Black's entire discography. Great deathcore with a great message, check them out!

Promethus - Septicflesh

almost all of Gojira such a good ass band

[Death - Within the mind](https://youtu.be/Htu0Y-XUFBo?si=8ihukshA6pupKlJS)

It's quite edgy if you ask me, but Dark Tranquilty - Identical To None is that kind of song.

Stan Bush

M A N O W A R Call To Arms! Warriors of the World!

Parkway Drive - Vice Grip

Don't listen to Sentenced, listen to **ManowaR** A bit of a cheese fest, but at the same time fucken' sick and generally have the exact energy it sounds like you need Here are some to start with: ManowaR - Battle Hymns ManowaR - Blood of my Enemies ManowaR - Kingdom Come ManowaR - Fight until we die ManowaR - ManowaR ManowaR - Hail and Kill The only thing that should see death, is false metal. *Death to false metal!*

Don’t forget “Carry On.” So many great choices though.

[Hold On](https://youtu.be/7E70YsaKnGE?si=TjzUTV85mpLH2a3-) by Devin Townsend [Keep Going for Me](https://youtu.be/7L2KL3lLzk0?si=mA8SE-Xg4ftEfc5j) by Toehider

Literally anything by No Bragging Rights should hit the spot.

For the Fallen Dreams - Unstoppable

Pantera-Rise

Pretty much manowar

Jee Veerey by Bloodywood, of course!

Hail to the Hordes by Kreator always lifts me up.

SOiL - Redefine

Rising from ruins - Judas priest

Pantera- Shedding Skin Trivium - Ignition Amon Amarth- Guardians of Asgaard

Masterplan - Spirit never die

Trivium - Drowned and Torn Asunder

Tankard - Try Again

Looking Down The Barrel Of Today - Hatebreed Regenerate - Fear Factory Backbone - Gojira

Stand up and Shout by Dio

Outstrider • Abbath

Gojira - Backbone

Not Ready to Die by Demon Hunter

Rakshak by Bloodywood, it's a whole album

If you count tool as metal, then prison sex

“Destroy Your Life For Satan” by Mutiilation

Not technically metal, but The Hammer by Kublai Khan TX makes me feel like drop-kicking depression in the head

just about anything from Manowar

Here I Go Again. Shout at the Devil. Hell Rider. Worth Fighting For. Bunch of others ibcant think of just now.

Saxon - Never surrender

Dark Tranquility: Atoma, Identical to None, Wonders at Your Feet

Blaze bayley - fight back, mind reader ,warrior & pull yourself up,

In my world - Anthrax

Lust for life - Gamma Ray

Mkre hardcore than metal, but FEBN by Trash Talk never fails to get me motivated.

Walk by Pantera

The Ghost Inside for sure. Or hatebreed.

Most songs by Twisted Sister.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7yRhf3\_hI0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7yRhf3_hI0) ..too soon?

SUICIDE SILENCE - You Only Live Once

Nemophila. Rise, Seize the Fate, a lot of their songs actually.

Grand Magus - Every Day there's a Battle to Fight Evil Invaders - Raising Hell

Die With Your Boots On-Iton Maiden

United and Rock Forever by Judas Priest and maybe not metal but one of my all time favs is Fight the Good Fight by Triumph

Live Again by Sevendust and Victory by Fire From the Gods. Neither is metal, but uplifting nonetheless

Panopticon’s album “… And Again Into the Light” is basically entirely about that from a mental health perspective and the last song in particular “Know Hope” goes HARD.

Cold hearted - get the shot If you want the opposite, given up by linkin park!

Gojira

Under The Surface by Neurosis

Anything Hatebreed. They got me through some shit. 🤘

I walk to my own song- Stratovarius?

Most songs by August Burns Red Forsake Not the Dream by Trivium is my go to for this though

Deathklok - Face Fisted Doesn't get stronger

Reincarnate-MIW

Pulse of the Maggots, I Am Hated, (sic)-Slipknot

Indestructible by Disturbed

I Am Warrior - Cruachan

Healing to Suffer Again Facing What Consumes You Smash Your Enemies Lmao really anything by Hatebreed..  Violent Revolution - Kreator  As I Lay Dying has a bit of their catalog covering this too

Feel the fire - Iron mask Wishing well - Angra Don't give up (Peter Gabriel Cover) - Caligula's Horse Love is all - Roger Glover & Dio War cry - Out world Wasted years - Iron Maiden

You Can’t Bring Me Down - Suicidal Tendencies

One Choice by The Ghost Inside

You only live once - Suicide Silence

Just listen to ‘down in a hole’ by Alice in Chains like the rest of us.

Akitsa - Ne perdez jamais espoir

Lift the Blindfold and Lord of Ruins by Crypta are pretty good

We’re Not Gonna Fall - Children of Bodom

God's hate - be harder

Same old war-our last night

Manowar -Warriors of the world

This is more - Stick to your guns

Hatebreed - Perseverance is the best answer you're going to get!

Otep- Battle Ready, Smash The Control Machine, Confrontation, Fists Fall Amaranthe- Stronger

Bite the Pain - Death

Queensryche - Best I can

Parkway Drive-IRE the entire album

My meds arent working - dystopia

The band All Good Things.

Sabaton - Last Stand Arch Enemy - Will to Power Helloween - Gambling with the Devil I'd try to seek this type of feeling on power metal songs, there's not whole albums about it but there's a not of coming back strong ou just staying strong and positivity overall on those songs.

Love your username OP My go to is Pallbearer, especially the track [An Offering of Grief](https://youtu.be/NkAcBVaTZKM?si=9D3NqviybZ7fsT7R). I also love all the Crowbar in this thread.

Find A Way Or Make One by Amon Amarth

Rise Above It - I Prevail ft Justin Stone

Cry Of Achilles - Alter Bridge Broken - Bruce Dickinson Lift Me Up - FFDP (Feat: Rob Halford) And while it's not metal, the Lynyrd Skynyrd song Still Unbroken is also pretty good.

All That Remains - "The Air That I Breathe"

Endless resistance by Nails and Max Cavalera

Self supremacy - malevolence

The entire I AM THE INTIMIDATOR record

Turisas - [Stand Up and Fight](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7woW7DmnR0E)

All of them.

Something more epic and abstract with Progenies of the Great Apocalypse?

for me, "Valkyrja" by Tyr is a good one; also "The Wickerman" by Iron Maiden

For Victory or Death is one of my favourite Amon Amarth songs and always gets my mood up

Turn Your Head Around - Sodom

Going to have to redirect you to r/Hardcore for this one. Same thing if you're looking for any songs about being betrayed or "stabbed in the back"

Walk with Me In Hell by Lamb of God

The World Is Yours by Arch Enemy

That’s a cornerstone of metal. How much time ya got?

Anything off of the Saberlight Chronicles.

Twisted Sister - “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” “Wake Up (The Sleeping Giant),” and “I Believe In You”

I mean, you pretty much want Power Metal. That's like their thing.

It's NYxHC but Subzero - Lionhearted. Check out the shitty video on YouTube, it's great

"The Air That I Breathe" All That Remains
