ok, so you got your sword and shield ready, your plate mail suit is shiny like a mirror, and you're almost ready to go to battle! only problem is, what song should you play for the adrenaline to rush to your head and turn you from bored to supercharged?

my choices are:
-ensiferum-battle song(the intro works all the time )
-manowar-battle hymn(likewise, can't believe how epic a single clean guitar can sound here, this could very well have been on the soundtrack for 300)
-survivor-eye of the tiger(my "gym-song" lol)
-manowar-call to arms(makes me wanna grab a long shiny sword and fight the anti-metal horde)

Amon Amarth have some really good battle songs, I love how some of their songs are litterally stories of Norse/Viking warriors in battle. My favourite would be Runes to my Memory.

Other than that, if you want to feel like more of a mature warrior, songs from Bathory's Hammerheart would do nicely. Warriors trudging into battle is some possible imagery you could associate with those songs. Particularly as the music would fit it, but the lyrics also might make you feel particularly patriotic towards metal. The "One Rode To Asa Bay" video could give you more ideas of just that.

yeah dude, that vid is one of the better low budget videos i've ever seen, with all those churches and forests, with the music to complement it perfectly.

I can't believe I forgot about Hammerfall's "Destined For Glory", a truly epic and battle worthy song. The chorus is so ridiculous and corny... which makes it so good! Actually all the lyrics are corny. I hate power metal now but I still remember this one from back when I used to like Hammerfall. Anyone who hasn't heard it should give it a listen, even if it's just for a laugh:

I played a game of Risk while listening to Turisas' Battle Metal. Each conquest, each territorial campaign, every battle, every soldier's falling was highlighted by the epic and intense music.

Well Brocas Helm has a few, like "Into Battle"; "Dark Rider" and more.
You really can't forget Exodus "Metal Command".
Oh and no mention of Tyrant? Their first album is full of battle songs.

And of course almost anything by Manowar.

With oden on our side by amon amarth
i quote:
Finally the storm arrives
Out wait is at an end
Under dark winter skies
We make our final stand

For each of us, there are four of them
It matters not to us
We won't leave this field in shame
We are here to crush!
.....
No retreat, no remorse
Victory will be ours
Blood on steel, sacrifice
Victory will be ours

//Yeah dude...Amon Amarth for sure has some sweet ones. I think the Pursuit Of Vikings is my favorite//

A FINE DAY TO DIE -BATHORY !!!

What? With a song like this I will think twice before going to battle, since I don't go to battle thinking "Hmm, this seems like a fine day to die".

yes, but the best part of the song is where "Have no fear of death when its the time, Odin will bring us back home when we die"
and so many other parts of the lyrics... that is a true epic.
