IoMP 119: Best Metal Songs for Hockey Goal Songs
On this episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin Sterling and Tom McKay step into full hockey panel mode to fix one of the most important (and most overlooked) parts of the game-day experience: the goal song.
Kicking things off with a fictional post-game breakdown gone horribly wrong, the conversation quickly turns into a metal-fueled debate on what actually works in an arena. Acoustic songs? Absolutely not. Emotional ballads? Jail. Immediate jail.
Instead, the guys dig into the best of the best from thrash metal staples that would make arenas erupt, hardcore and metalcore breakdowns built for chaos, Canadian bands that should be powering Canadian teams, and why some legendary metal songs are better as entrances, power play tracks… or not used at all.
From Metallica, Pantera, Knocked Loose, and Arch Enemy to Electric Callboy, Volbeat, Faith No More, and more, this episode is a love letter to heavy music, hockey culture, and yelling “HEY! HEY! HEY!” at strangers.
If you’ve ever screamed at a bad goal song in an arena — this one’s for you.
