Raining blood, sweat, and a crap ton of iron.

There are very few words spoken in Slayer’s intense hit song, Raining Blood, but that’s okay – we really don’t need that many when it consists of words like blood, death, pierce, and lacerated sky. There’s only so many mindsets you can go into when you’re listening to a song about red blood raining from the sky. For our money, bodybuilding the best one of them. Like we said, this song has very few words – but what it lacks for in lyrics it makes up for in pure hardcore metal guitar work.

The minute those slamming drums slowly press on during the intro, your heart starts picking up. Then the insane guitar riff kicks in to start your heart racing even further. And then it happens, the explosion of metal, rock, and adrenaline that you need. Suddenly there is no in between – just stop and go. And you’re definitely not going to stop lifting when you are listening to this song.

This may not be a new song to add into your workout mix by any means – but it’s a classic and a must have for anyone who needs some intense motivational music while they are in the gym. If you haven’t heard this before, do yourself a favor and listen to it right now. And if you already know and love the song – you’re definitely workout out right way.
