Western songs to blow off steam when you're frustrated. World-famous classics and popular hits.

With MeSUM41

Sum 41 – With Me

Sum 41 is an alternative rock band from Canada.

While most of the songs I’ve introduced so far have been death metal or heavy metal, this time it’s an easy-listening alternative rock track.

“With Me” features a very gentle sound from the verse through the chorus.

The chorus gets just a bit more intense, but it’s not noisy, so it’s easy to listen to.

I recommend it when you want to blow off some steam or need one last push!

PsychosocialSlipknot

Slipknot – Psychosocial [OFFICIAL VIDEO] [HD]

Slipknot, the heavy metal band affectionately known in Japan as a “grotesque hobbyist extreme music collective,” is a nine-member group whose striking visuals—each member wearing a distinctive mask—leave a strong impression.

While the media often focuses on their appearance, their performance and songwriting are actually of exceptionally high quality.

Their track “Psychosocial” is a perfect example of that excellence.

Its lyrics deliver hard-hitting punchlines aimed at society, so be sure to check it out—it’s incredibly cathartic!

Last Ride Of The DayNIGHTWISH

Nightwish – Last Ride Of The Day (With Lyrics)

If you like melodies with a Celtic feel, I recommend “Last Ride of the Day.” The band singing it, Nightwish, is a famous symphonic metal group from Finland.

Finland is said to be the most developed country for metal in the world, and true to that reputation, their performance level is incredibly high.

The song is packed with invigorating melodies, so if you’re feeling frustrated, definitely give it a listen!

Ich WillUriah Heep

Rammstein – Ich Will (Official Video)

Uriah Heep, a legendary rock band on par with Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.

Until the mid-1980s, the band went through frequent lineup changes, but since 1986 the members have stabilized and they’ve established a consistent musical identity.

Their biggest appeal, above all, is their progressive sound, isn’t it? Although they’re also pioneers of hard rock, they stood out from the crowd even back then.

On “Ich Will,” too, their appeal shines through in a devilish sound.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to vent some frustration.

The GameMotörhead

Motorhead – The Game

Motörhead is a rock band from England.

They’re famous for influencing thrash and hardcore.

Their track “The Game” is one of their most popular songs.

That’s because it was used as the entrance theme for Triple H, a WWE Superstar from the world’s largest pro wrestling organization, which brought the song global recognition.

It’s an insanely hardcore and cool track, so definitely give it a listen! It’s great for blowing off stress, too!

The Unforgiven ⅢMetalica

The Unforgiven III – Metallica

If we’re talking about the most commercially successful metal band in the world, it’s undoubtedly Metallica, isn’t it? Metallica is known for its high level of musicianship and catchy melodies.

The Unforgiven III is one of their hit songs, crafted with a sound that leans closer to alternative rock.

Even those who aren’t into metal will find the melody easy to listen to.

It’s also great for blowing off stress!

GirlfriendAvril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne – Girlfriend (Official Video)

This is a signature song by a hugely popular pop star from Canada who also enjoys tremendous support in Japan.

The track is irresistibly pop, built around feminine lyrics, and boasts an exceptional groove.

That’s why I think it’s the perfect song for women to listen to when they want to get pumped up and blow off some steam.
