Re: https://poal.co/s/TheRedPill/132007 (cold showers)

Intense, heavy music stimulates fight-or-flight response adrenaline release, just like cold showers. Turn it up super loud so it hurts your ears - more pain, more gain. It's probably even better if you actually hate it so it makes you suffer more - you need to suffer to grow.

Body-builders listen to it during workouts.

I couldn't find any studies that have definitively measured this, but this article references one that shows that faggot music can have the opposite effect:

and here's a guy ranting about it who seems pretty convinced:

AILD was my first fav band back when I started getting into it too.

When I say intense, I'm generally referring to tempo, so I would describe Dragonforce as high-intensity but not very heavy. Ashes of the Dawn wasn't a very good example, here's a better one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c314lwoZqD0

I agree powermetal is probably not as good for adrenaline/testosterone stimulation, but better than nothing. Metalcore, deathcore, pure core, come to think of it anything with 'core' in it is probably best for this, but really any music that evokes feelings of righteous wrath, that makes you want to charge into battle and slay demons by the thousands, should have the desired effect to a degree.

Speaking of slaying demons,

For contrast to Dragonforce, something I would describe as low-intensity but heavy (tuned nice and low):

Which I like, but don't find as stimulating. For me, the magic formula is intensity+heaviness.

I'd probably listen to something more like this myself for slaying demons. I don't get that way too much while listening to music usually though.

If you were used to listening to music while doing that type of stuff and somehow it gets cut off you kind of screwed yourself somewhat at least psychologically. Plus music can manifest if not create negative energy to me personally. I'm kind of really boring myself this way. I just like music sometimes and don't fantasize.

You wouldn't want to rely on music to me personally at all. plus alien greys are devils to me personally. they are known to screw with tech / technology for that matter.

If I had to take down or kill something like this alone (8-10 foot tall being or whatever height)... I wouldn't really want any music at all until afterward at least. Not during as that could set me up for failure if not get me killed I figure.

Music sets me up for failure I feel or would at some point alone (don't use it to break fear at all to me personally).

Rather just go in with white robes if not white button down with black pants (white button down + black pants alone - very neutral clothes for the most part). Blessed Holy Water + Blessed Exorcism Salts or just prayer with the St Michael Prayer and make it more or so easy. Have ways of defending myself though to as well.

IDK I kind of get really boring myself on that.

I just like to rock at times though when I listen to metal and such.
