“Despicable Heroes” by Arch Enemy: Who would imagine such a slender woman could produce such pit-of-hell horrific growls. She’s a Valkyrie! Angela Gossow sounds like a five hundred pound Grizzly Bear, and she puts on a high-energy show with her Swedish melodic death metal outfit. This is not for guys with square glasses and ironic t-shirts. This is for the barbarians, the volk. This song just makes my fists ball up and my heart-rate rocket up. It’s thrilling. It inspires me to punch the heavy bag for a half hour. It will definitely get you up and moving in the morning if you need a push. “A nation of wolves hunting the sheep!” You said it, sister.
