In Search Of Good Motivational/Inspirational Metal

[SON_OF_CELLULOID]

I'm looking for killer metal songs with inspirational, uplifting, and motivational lyrics. I help out with a support group for people with depression and anxiety issues. A bunch of us are metalheads, and I want to make a mix to give everyone to listen to when they're struggling. Stuff like...

Destroy What Destroys You - Kreator
Can't Bring Me Down - Suicidal Tendencies
Wasted Years - Iron Maiden
Live Without Regrets - Amon Amarth

You know songs about overcoming, being triumphant, that kind of thing. The snag is, none of us are really into power metal or hardcore. If we were, this list would be easy. So, I ask you guys. Please throw some good song suggestions out there. Thanks.

Basically anything by High Spirits is going to work.

Christian Metal...perfect!, bands like Vengeance Rising, Mortification, Extol, Believer, Tourniquet...

Dio- Caught in the Middle

Not purely upbeat, but ultimately a self-affirming message and encourages us to choose for ourselves from within the web of different forces that push us in various directions. It sounds like it might be a theme that resonates with the group you work with.

Push is always my first motivational-Dio-go-to, but yeah a lot of his stuff in general is the best positive metal

 

[The Ozzman]

Only one I could think of off hand

Laughing at hair metal bands is pretty uplifting...this will have a downer laughing pretty quickly...

Live another day
Climb a little higher
Find another reason to stay
Ashes in your hands
Mercy in your eyes
If you're searching for a silent sky
You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So die another day

After the storm there's a calm
Through the clouds shines a ray of the sun
I'm carried from all my harm
There is no one I can't outrun
Now I'm leaving my worries behind
Feel the freedom of body and mind
I'm starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind, I go

kenny g and lisa frank are not what i'd call uplifting

 

[HamburgerBoy]

How the fuck is Kenny G not uplifting?
