We all like feeling like we're invincible and nobody can touch us because of how cool we are. Sometimes if we want to feel that way, we need a really cool soundtrack, much like all the best action movies have. Here are ten songs, in no particular order, that will make you feel as indestructible and hardcore as The Terminator.
1. "Ten Tonne Skeleton" by Royal Blood
This song is grooving and rocking and has all the makings of a cool tune to blast in your car. The bass line throughout the song is infectious and the overall groove and rhythm the song has is sure to make anyone strut around like they're important.
2. "Spore" by Queensrÿche
This hard-hitting progressive metal track is nothing short of epic. From the incredible instrumentation to Todd La Torre's soaring vocals, this song is sure to make you feel like you're on top of the world.
3. "Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce
If you've ever played Guitar Hero, you're probably familiar with this song. The guitar throughout the entire song is incredible. I highly recommend listening to the full version of the track and not just the music video edit. It will make you feel that much more in power.
4. "Deep Six" by Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson goes for a bit of a blues vibe with this song and it definitely works. The instrumentation and Manson's harsher vocals in the chorus make for an astounding track that will make you want to march up to Zeus and tell him off despite what the song says.
5. "One" by Metallica
There was no possible way a Metallica song couldn't be placed on this list. From the intro of various battle sounds to the haunting rhythm guitar to the vocals, everything about this song says hardcore. Even though it starts out slow, when this song picks up, it really packs a punch.
6. "Prancer" by The Dillinger Escape Plan
The Dillinger Escape Plan have been known to be very crazy and chaotic with their music and this song strongly supports that statement. Greg Puciato goes off the walls with his vocal performance on this track and the instrumentals are absolutely insane. This is an extreme song from an extreme band.
7. "Strife" by Trivium
This track makes you feel like you're heading into battle. It has that intense atmosphere about it that makes for an incredible listening experience.
8. "I'm Broken" by Pantera
Once the opening riff of this track hits, you know something's about to go down. Pantera has a lot of hard-hitting jams in their catalog, but this one takes the cake when it comes to making you feel hardcore.
9. "Poltergeist" by Deftones
You might not expect much from the clapping intro in this song, but it quickly goes into an all-out head-banging jam. This song is perfect for getting a little rage out and feeling awesome while doing it.
10. "Hail to the King" by Avenged Sevenfold
Finally, we have this epic jam from Avenged Sevenfold. Nothing makes you feel more untouchable than feeling like a king. That's exactly what this song does with its majestic guitar work, gritty vocals, and reoccurring "hail" chants. You might even want to throw on a cape and a crown while listening to this song.
If you ever need to boost your self-confidence or you just want to feel like you're all that, definitely give these songs a listen.
