I am pleased to be able to suggest “God Save the Queen” by the Sex Pistols. ---

**KMFDM**. I’m fond of _Brute_ or _Ultra_ when I’m mad at the world. But just about anything will do. If you’re feeling _insane_ angry, **Pig** is a good choice. _Contempt_ is good. _Salambo_\* is better. 😃 - - angry sex to _Salambo_ is _ **mind blowing** _. ---

Slayer All Slayer, all the time. Especially their last 2 albums, **Diabolus In Musica** and **God Hates Us All**. > [@Jason Birchmeier](#): > > […_God Hates Us All_ finds Slayer trying to make the most brutal music they possibly can](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE57A1FDD46A87F20D79C3053CBBB72E00DDB51F8813E23454D92BB345C910E7ED749A0DAB0B8B676AB7BADE02CA45A099FCFE453F9D663352DFC93&sql=10:ttadqjoqoj0a) These guys are simply the greatest hard rock/metal/thrash/hardcore band ever.

I’d second Public Enemy - ‘It takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back’ - and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds ‘Live Seeds’. He sounds positively livid on that. ---

I saw it mentioned above, but have to repeat it: ya can’t go wrong with **Rage Against the Machine**. Haven’t been mentioned: **Nine Inch Nails**. I’m also kinda surprised at how many **Pretenders** tunes fulfill the need of angry listening. ---

1. **Diamanda Galas** : Extraordinary body of work. Check out the recent _Defixions-- Will and Testament_ 2. **Atrax Morgue** : Angry at everything and everyone. Beware! 3. **Today I’m Dead** : No joy here. 4. **Propergol** : Enough anger to move mountains. ---

Do you want pissed off music or just agressive music? I’ve thrown in some WASP over the last couple of days, the newer stuff, and man does Blackie Lawless seem pissed off. I always thought that you got less pissed off as you got older. More agressive music, you can never go wrong with some Motorhead. There’s also a band called Rage from Germany that’s very good as well. ---

Just a few of the top of my head… Hope- Descendents Screaming at a Wall- Minor Threat Pretty much the entire Hatebreed catalog I Will Kill You- Cannibal Corpse Wish- Nine Inch Nails Opiate- Tool March of the Fire Ants- Mastodon Scapegoat- Fear Factory New Level- Pantera My Right- Screeching Weasel My Plague- Slipknot Soil- System of a Down Wolfsblood and Where Eagles Dare- Misfits I have to agree with **Snowboarder Bo** on the recent Slayer tracks, especially the last track on God Hates Us All- Payback. That song just rips. ---

Metal is good for aggressive music, but with few exceptions, specifically angry metal just sucks. If you want pissed off music, you need old hardcore–Black Flag, Minor Threat, Sick of it All, Dead Kennedys, etc. ---

> [@Ranchoth](#): > > **Panzerlied** > well, that might skew more towards “raving psychopath” than “angry,” but what the heck! You know, the group who recently covered “Panzerlied” in Germany did jail time? And like a lot of wermacht songs, they sing it in the French Foreign Legion (slowly). “Jewish Princess,” and a lot of other stuff by Frank Zappa “You’re Breaking My Heart so Fuck You” by Harry Nilsson “Tons of Time” by Golden Earring “The Annoying Song” by the Butthole Surfers ---

Belly of the Beast - **Anthrax** Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - **Black Sabbath** (I have it and the Anthrax cover) I Wanna Be Somebody - **WASP** Let There Be Rock & Whole Lotta Rosie - **AC/DC** - not quite ‘pissed off’ music but that opening riff for both can get the blood flowin. Baddest of the Bad - **The Reverend Horton Heat** Sex Type Thing - **Stone Temple Pilots** ---
