ARCH ENEMY – Nemesis (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Arch Enemy is a death metal band from Sweden.

They are also pioneers who created the unique setup of having a female-only vocalist in a death metal band.

When people hear “female death growls,” many tend to assume they’ll lack impact.

However, the sheer power of Angela Gossow’s death vocals, as the vocalist of Arch Enemy, is tremendous and will sweep away that kind of preconception.

Nemesis is a song from the era when Angela Gossow was the vocalist.

It’s the kind of track that will leave you feeling refreshed! Be sure to check it out!

Nickelback – Burn It to the Ground [OFFICIAL HD VIDEO]

Nickelback is a popular rock band from Canada, known for their powerful vocals and melodic tracks.

Their song “Burn It to the Ground” is one of their hits and is extremely popular among fans.

There’s a call-and-response section in the chorus with the audience, and it’s incredibly cool.

The melody is very easy to listen to, so I recommend it even to people who aren’t into rock.

It’s a refreshing, exhilarating track that blows stress away—definitely check it out!

Awake And AliveSkillet

Skillet – Awake and Alive (Official Audio)

For those who want to listen to metal that incorporates classical-like elements, I recommend “Awake and Alive.” The band singing it, Skillet, has both male and female members, and the vocals switch between a female and a male vocalist depending on the part.

In terms of genre, it falls under Christian metal, but many of their works lean more toward rock than classical.

It’s a very exhilarating track, so give it a listen when you want to blow off some stress!
