GI WORKOUT SONG OF THE WEEK (12/22)

December 22, 2014

Welcome to the gym.

When you think about bodybuilding motivation – Coheed & Cambria might not be the first name to pop in your head. With Claudio’s signature high pitched form of singing, intense, might not be a word you’d use either. But for a band that sings about sci-fi and outer space, they are surprisingly influenced by prog rock and metal. One song specifically, Welcome Home, off of their third album, Good Apollo I’m Burning Star IV Vol. 1, is filled with an incredibly hard driving guitar rythm and a beastly chanting chorus that can get anyone raged up and ready to kick some ass in the gym.

This song makes you feel like a warrior ready to do battle against all of that heavy iron. Perhaps you wouldn’t expect to have this kind of band on your workout playlist – but we want to expand your mind a little bit. Mix up that old playlist you’ve heard a thousand times before. Add this track to your mix and get ready to pound the weights hard.
