So I'm in an angry mood. I'm really really pissed off. I would like some music that fits this mood but I don't seem to own any. So far I've had to satisfy myself with the little bit of Post-Harcore I own but that isn't doing the trick. So please, anyone have some really angry music for someone who feels like breaking something. Anything but Nu-metal is permissable.
Suggestions are great, sample mp3s are better.

Lucky Nine
Fony
Getawayplan

Cryptopsy man, Cryptopsy.
Cryptopsy - Slit Your Guts (http://www.mytempdir.com/470464)

Whenever I want angry music, I tend to put on Rage Against the Machine (Killing in the Name is one of the best songs ever made in which to release anger to.... FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME x12!). Rammstein is also pretty good. Sure, you probably won't understand any of the lyrics, but it's in German, so it just sounds angry. Seether's got a couple good songs to listen to when you're in a foul mood, as well.
Hell, I got a lot of stuff on my playlist that's good for angry moods. :O!
-
Belle and Sebastian…
What?
-
Haha, I can just picture them thrashing guitars and screaming "DEAR CATASTROPHER WAITRESS!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE FACE IS BLEEDING!!!!! RAAAR!!!!!"
-
Hmmm, do I have angry music?
Why yes, yes I do.
I'm going to suggest pretty much anything by Exodus. The song I'm putting up as a sample is far from their best, but if you're particularly religious, a lot of their stuff might be considered offensive, to say the least.
Exodus - Raze (http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1GG1AI76BQ1H92TQANRLOFQCVI)
-
Cattle Decapitation and Inpaled Nazarene are all you need, man.
-
Death From Above 1979.
-
hardcore/metalcore is usually good angry music,
stuff like:
100 demons(this band is basically hate in musical form)
a perfect murder
a day and a deathwish
100 demons especially-
wake up and hate - another day in paradise
i don't think i've been happy - more than twice in my life
the first time i fucked - the first time i got high
i think there was a third - the first time i saw a man die
and underneath my anger - all i feel is hate
-
Check out Bus Pass (http://www.setfirestudios.com/bp)

I second the guy who suggested Rage Against the Machine, for sure.

Iron Monkey.

Angriest songs I've ever heard (excluding punk or metal):
Idiot Wind, Bob Dylan. "Your corrupt ways have finally made you blind!" Dylan starts out with a storyline to the song, but abandons it after the first verse in favor of a litany of hate directed at (of course) a woman.
I Want You, Elvis Costello and the Attractions. "Since when were you so generous and inarticulate?" This is a very quiet song, one that starts off like a love song and then evolves into a virtual textbook of bitterness and pain... it may sound more like despair than anger, but it's the kind of despair that ends with the house surrounded by police tape.
Avalanche, Leonard Cohen. "The cripple here that you clothe and feed is neither starved nor cold." Soft and seductive, the melody of this song disguises the howling hatred of the narrator towards his subject and towards himself for failing to reject her completely. For a particularly angry rendition, try Nick Cave and the Bad Seed's cover on From Her to Eternity.
Dress Rehearsal Rag, Leonard Cohen. "That's a hard one to remember, yes it makes you clench your fists, and the veins stand out like highways all along your wrists and yes it's come to this!" From the same album, this enticement to suicide takes self-loathing to a whole new level.
The album Altered Beast, Matthew Sweet. "Your desperate dreams are pathetic." Sweet's peppy jangle-pop masks some serious issues. This album is like an encyclopedia of bitterness and bile.
-
two entire subgenres exist for just this thing. Check out some death metal or black metal from the early 90's. There's plenty of big names, a quick look could bring up plenty of names... I'm not the king of knowledge with Black, but big names include: Mayhem, Emperor, Immortal, Enslaved, Darkthrone, Burzum...
In Death my personal favorites: Morbid Angel, Death, At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, blah blah.
Hell, iTunes even has a "Death Metal Essentials" for people looking into it. I didnt look much through it but I'm sure it could be full of angry music thats just hurting to be heard.
-
I forgot to mention Pantera.
what is wrong with me
what
(BTW, ignoring internet rules for humorous effect = the win)
-
If it's a woman problem you have, "Don't think twice it's alright" always helps, it's subtle, yet harsh, you can also pretend not to give a shit about her when you're listening to it.
-
"No Children" by The Mountain Goats probably has more pure bitterness and vitriol than any song I've ever heard.
-
Idiot Wind, Bob Dylan. "Your corrupt ways have finally made you blind!" Dylan starts out with a storyline to the song, but abandons it after the first verse in favor of a litany of hate directed at (of course) a woman.
Dude. Masters of War; he pretty much gets SO pissed off that he blatantly says I HOPE THAT YOU DIE SO I CAN (Although he doesn't say it, you know he's thinking it) SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, YOU NAZI SON OF A BITCH.
-
Scattered Fall. easy. they have an ep called A Short Story Of Betreyal and the whole cd is about getting fucked over and betrayed and lied to. its very very angry.

Absolutely, fantastic angry song.

Very true. Dylan does a lot of exquisitely angry stuff. Positively 4th Street and Like a Rolling Stone are two others.
-

Ack, you got to this before I did! Good call. Also try Dilaudid and Cold Milk Bottle.
-
When I get frustrated or angry I usually reach for the following among some others:
"What You Do For Money Honey" - AC/DC
"Sluta Folja Efter" - Dungen (for all I know it's supposed to be happy, but it works)
"Hello Kitty Kat" - The Smashing Pumpkins (remnant from my angry teens, still does the trick)
-
Refused.. that's all I have to say.
-
Refused are a good one. I don't know why the didn't come to me.
A friend of mine's mom said that Primus was angry music. That made me confuzzled.
-
Die Vorkriegszeit is pretty angry without being loud at all.
-
As far as angry Dylan goes, I think "With God on Our Side" is an excellent song, though it's less overt anger than it is embittered and sarcastic.
If you want offensive, angry music, go with something by Sadistik Exekution. Half the lyrics are just the vocalist screaming "fuck" and "cunt".
-
I don't think there's anything more pissed off than Ramallah.
http://www.thorprecords.com/bands/ramallah.php
If I Die Today-Ramallah (http://media.thorprecords.com/mp3s/ramallah.ifidietoday.mp3)
Amen are also very very very bitter at the current state of the world. Pure spite in audio.
http://www.comaamerica.com/
Then there's Scum, Amen's evil Norwegian Blackmetal punk twin. Chaos from Amen with a bunch of anrgy blackmetallers... and Happy Tom.
http://www.myspace.com/scumband
http://www.scumband.com
It Dies Today are sort of posthardcore/metalcore with a very metal edge to them. They're pretty angry about being dumped. Probably not the anger you're after.
http://www.itdiestoday.com/
http://www.myspace.com/therealitdiestoday
Nine are Swedish (edited) hardcore with a rock and roll tone. They're pretty angry.
http://www.burningheart.com/bands/index.php?id=88
Khar is the one to ask really. These are all more metalesque bands. If you want angry electronica I can post that too but it doesn't have the same kick in the teeth, ya know?
-
Nine are Swedish as far as I know.
I suggest Ion Dissonance and second Cryptopsy. Also, try XBXRX. Especially the last song on their new CD, In Memory Of Our Lives, because it starts out like a normal screamo/punk song and detoriates into pure chaos and destruction.

True. HOW DOES IT FEEEEE-HEEL?
-
Hardcore/metalcore is the way to go when you are angry. Try Poison The Well, or if you like your music really harsh, check out Converge or The Red Chord.
Edit: Converge - The Saddest Day (http://radioblogclub.com/search/0/saddest_day) Kickass angry song.
-
Napalm Death - Inside The Torn Apart
Great album, angry as fuck.
Makes me want to go out and burn the nearest McDonalds or any capitalist store/restaurant thing.

someone mentioned refused and it reminded me of another good one: The Accused

Early Swans.

two entire subgenres exist for just this thing. Check out some death metal or black metal from the early 90's. There's plenty of big names, a quick look could bring up plenty of names... I'm not the king of knowledge with Black, but big names include: Mayhem, Emperor, Immortal, Enslaved, Darkthrone, Burzum...
Now, you see, I'll have to kinda disagree with you here. Early Mayhem, yeah, (and by early I mean stuff with Dead at the helm, preferably shit like the Dawn of the Black Hearts bootleg or Live in Liepzig, if you can stand the appaling production), I could get real gnarly to Deathcrush or Chainsaw Gutsfuck. Same with certain Emperor, Enslaved or Immortal tracks. Darkthrone and Burzum, I would say, are fair too despairing and minimalistic to really be angry: even Burzums most violent songs, (such as, unsurprisingly, War) are drenched in melancholy and hypnotic ambience, and Darkthrone are into just big, bleak soundscapes. If you want violence out of old-school black metal, you'd probably want to go for the first three Bathory albums, Carpathian Forest and Nattefrost. Carpathian Forest switch between very slow atmospheric stuff with pianos and even saxophone and brutal, fast, punky numbers. However, imo, if you want real GRRR out of black metal, you need to go for a certain strain of the newer stuff: Anaal Nathrakh, Anorexia Nervosa, The Axis of Perdition, Cryptic Wintermoon, The Count Nosferatu Kommando, etc. Of particular note, CNK's 'Ultraviolence Uber Alles', Anaal Nathrakh's 'When Fire Rains Down From The Sky, Mankind Will Reap As It Has Sown', Cryptic Wintermoon's 'A Coming Storm'. Impaled Nazarene are also brilliant, but they exist kind of off to the sidelines of BM in a class of their own. A very awesome class though. And I'd be amiss if I didn't also mention obvious, and ridiculous, choices NunSlaughter.
In Death my personal favorites: Morbid Angel, Death, At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, blah blah.
A MUCH safer bet. I'd particularly go for Arch Enemy and Amon Amarth for sheer anger and violence (personal recommended songs, 'Leader of the Rats' and 'Death in Fire' respectively). For real mind-grinding madness, the album 'Dissimulate' by The Berzerker will chew up your brain and spit it out a new asshole, as will pretty much anything by grind acts like Last Days of Humanity, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, old-school Napalm Death, Cock and Ball Torture, Dying Fetus, Libido Airbag, Regurgitate, Circle of Dead Children, and back on to classic death and gore, Grave, Decapitated, Gorerotted, Carcass, Cattle Decapitation, Bloodbath, Lord Gore, The County Medical Examiners, and, of course, fucking BOLT THROWER all do it for me. In the more melodic direction, apart from Arch Enemy and Amon Amarth, Arsis, At The Gates, Darkane, and certain Edge of Sanity tracks (pretty much the very early stuff and any of the later stuff written by Dread Axelson, like the most brutal pro-gun control song of all time 'Enter Chaos'.
In the digital sense, you'll want to check out the free-style conglomeration of grindcore and drum 'n bass that is Curse of the Golden Vampire. Get the album 'Mass Destruction': it's a sure-fire hit. You may also want to check out the ridiculously harsh EBM of Terrorfakt, the martial stomping of Laibach, and, of course, Ministry is an absolute must: tracks like Thieves, Psalm 69 and No "W" are ridiculously angry and ridiculously classic. More industrial rock to check out would be Deathstars and Hanzel Und Gretyl, just for tracks like Disko Fire Scheiss Messiah and SS Deathstar Supergalactick. They may smack of the dance floor too much for some though. If they do, don't even think of touching Angelspit, despite the enraged riot-pop fun of tracks like Maggot and Fuck Fashion. You may still want to check out tongue in cheek British act Killing Miranda however: they have just enough parody to churn out a brilliant Lovecraftian nu-metal parody (Enter The Dagon), whilst making it enjoyable on its own terms, whilst songs like 'H8red' give a more melodic handle on anger. And of course, it goes without saying that Skinny Puppy should get a few good spins somewhere along the way as well. And, if you're not a goddamn slob, you can do a lot worse than Rammstein's Mutter.
And of course, discussing angry metal in terms of only death and black leaves out one of the richest of all veins: Thrash and Crossover. Slayer goes without saying (If you can't get gnarly to South of Heaven, you may want to go get a blood test to see if there's any testosterone in your system at all), but you'll also want to check out the other big names like Kreator and Exodus, as well as British pagan bastards Sabbat, obscure Australians Hobb's Angel of Death (sometimes going by the name Hobb's Satan Crusade. Always rocking the fuck out), drunken Germans Tankard, and just about every Crossover Thrash band EVER, particularly Stormtroopers of Death (Get 'Live at Budokan' first rather than the classic 'Speak English or Die'. Not only are the really silly novelty tracks missing, but you'll also get to hear S.O.D. covering Ministry, which is just so moshgasmic it hurts my neck just thinking about it), Municipal Waste, Crucial Unit and Send More Paramedics. And to blow the whistle for the new-school, you really need to buy, like, every Strapping Young Lad album. Now.
Finally, of course, as numerous citations of Bob Dylan have proven (fuck was that dude angry before he found Jeezus) you don't need double bass kicks to be angry. Another folky artist to check out for real fucking anger is Sol Invictus, particularly any track where Tony Wakeford is attacking the church (ie. Kneel to the Cross, God Told Me To) or America (Death of the West, Media, Gold is King). There's also real bitter anger simmering at the bottom of what should on the surface be some of the mildest tracks by the heavily SI inspired prog/dark metallers Agalloch. Check out Desolation Song: not an angrier track with a harmonica since Dylan REALLY peaced out.
What's missing from this overview is, of course, punk. I'm not as expert on punk as I am on some other things, but The Anti-Nowhere League (I Hate People, So What?, Useless Bastards), Propaghandi (does anyone actually know of any one thing Propaghandi LIKE?) any incarnation of MDC (but particularly Millions of Damned Christians or Millions of Dead Cops) The Dwarves, Leftover Crack (or indeed Choking Victim, or anything associated with the Crack Rock Steady Seven), Oi! grand-daddies Cock Sparrer (Get the track Lies, fucking genius), Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag, any incarnation of Wednesday 13's musical efforts (there is, contrary to popular belief, absolutely no real difference between any of them apart from generally increasing production quality. Of course the proviso with Wednesday 13 is that you're not an uptight twat. Also, before you start, The Murderdolls are not mallcore. They have fucking SOLOS.), Amen, The Rotters and Scum should all be pretty sure bets. Oh, and don't forget The Pogues. Or old Sleater-Kinney. And finally, and this is really important
THE FUCKING MISFITS.
BUT ONLY WITH DANZIG.
Actually, I've kinda warmed to post-Danzig misfits, but it's too poppy. Stick in Static Age or Earth A.D. and jump around your room screaming.
I've probably missed stuff, but I really have to go out now.
EDIT: this got posted late because I thought I posted it earlier but it turned out it was so long that it couldn't post earlier and I had to actually post it on the internerts several hours later when I got home from the BOOZXING.
-
Oh man, Ultra Violence Uber Alles is a great album.
-
Man, I've been using Dillinger Escape Plan for my angry music needs lately.
Word. But steer clear of the Miss Machine album, that's like weak tea compared to their earlier stuff.
-
Iron Monkey.
Oh God yes. Johnny Morrow sounds like he's out for blood.
Voorhees are also a good bet. '13' is the sound of being beated round the head with an iron bar while a huge bastard yells at you for twenty minutes. Superb, although their most hate-filled lyrics are probably on 'Spilling Blood Without Reason'. Two songs about some guy called John Moody they're going to fuck up when they see, and the excellent 'Heroin Is Fun' all about why heroin is a great idea because it kills junkies. Unpleasant, but great when you feel like bashing your head against things.
Oh, and Stalingrad too. 'Straightout Broken' and 'Traitor' (which features Ian Leck of Voorhees) are good brutal hardcore, and then there's all the unpleasant noise (like the track which keeps repeating 'shitting, pissing and masturbating on the table') and slow, hateful metal ('Nation Upon Nation') to keep you busy as well.
If you fancy something a little snottier then go with Charles Bronson. They hated everybody. They even made some copies of their first demo blank just to piss even more people off.
And of course Man Is The Bastard and Bastard Noise. The names say it all really.
-
When I am flustered (and also when I'm not..it really dosen't matter..) my stress-relieving bands are
Bloodbath,mostly the song Eaten
The Number Twelve Looks Just Like You,mosty the cover of My Sharona
The Locust,who are so terrible that they are somehow intriguing (though I own none of their albums..).
Cannibal Corpse.
However,when I am angry I usually listen to music that is soft and soothing,such as Iron and Wine or my showtunes.
-

The Dillinger Escape Plan's Calculating Infinity is best decribed as "angry music"
You got thet right.
And Dark Tranquillity's The Gallery.
-
Actually, DEP is best described as 'shit-awful' music. Seriously, people, just go listen to real technical grind bands like Discordance Axis.
-
Tool is my angry music... nothing else really does it for me.
-
Yeh, Tool is awesome for when your angry. come to think of it, Tool are awesome for anytime. oh maynard.
go some slipknot when your angry.
or korn.
and if yu want ot piss yur parents off, play murderdolls. murderdolls - slit my wrist always gets a shocked face :P

Tool, Slipknot and Korn?
I think you've got the right idea. If you were my kid I'd be very pissed of. I'd send you to your room and punch some Belle and Sebastian into you.
I find the Sisters of Mercy quite good, although some times more cheesy-angry than BWAAARGH angry.

TROLL!!!!! Or 14... same difference really.
-
Haha, you gotta love trolls. Or really you don't.
But as far as angry music, yeah real punk, even though I know nothing about it, stuff like Black Flag-Die for your Government is really pissed off in a wonderful way.
But the best I know is largely what Khar already covered, ie. pretty much all thrash, most death, and a tiny bit of black...
Check out all the bands Khar said, plus Hypocrisy...
-
The Casualties are always good for angry punk thrashing.
-
I find the Sisters of Mercy quite good, although some times more cheesy-angry than BWAAARGH angry.
I really don't see that. I mean, I can see the kind of direction your coming from with songs like Lucretia My Reflection, Vision Thing and so forth...but no. The only emotion the sisters instill in me is GOTH DANCE GOTH DANCE EVERYBODY GOTH DANCE.
Which makes me love them muchly.
-
Well, maybe thgey are not that angry, I love them but Vision Thing just makes me go all giggly. "25 WHORES IN THE ROOM NEXT DOOR!!!!!!!!!" chugga chugga chugga. Oh Andrew Eldricht, you incorregible rascal.
I saw them live yesterday. They were great.
-
If you are looking for angry, brutal music I recommend the following:
Demon Hunter
DevilDriver
downthesun
Lamb Of God
Ministry
Meshuggah
Rammstein
Stone Sour

Did they do 'Big Pun's Not Dead Because I Just Saw Him At The Crispy Creme' (or something like that anyway)? I remember that song being pretty good but having this really annoying, long unnecessary section that spoiled it.
Actually, DEP is best described as 'shit-awful' music. Seriously, people, just go listen to real technical grind bands like Discordance Axis.
Comparing bands to DA just isn't fair. I mean, they wrote The Inalieanable Dreamless. You just can't fuck with that kind of achievement. Besides, DEP don't even play grind!
On the subject of grind (and the topic); Narcosis. Best grind band in the UK right now (shit, the world really), new album out round about now, tech as fuck grindcore and perfect angry music.
-
Speaking of DA, they totally win in terms of music for the anger.
-
Besides, DEP don't even play grind!
Precisely.
-
poke around on www.7inchpunk.com, you'll probably find some stuff.
personally, i like "Burn Down the Embassy" by Fearless Iranians From Hell. it's probably extremely offensive, but considering it's a Butthole Surfers side project, that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
-
Just play "Panda Panda Panda" by Deerhoof. Either your brain will melt out your ears, thus eliminating your rage, or you will be reduced to fits of giggling. Either way, you won't be angry any more.
-
You should check out some of theese bands; Kaospilot, La Quiete, Orchid, Pg. 99, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Converge and Nasum. Hardcore, grindcore, stuff like that. Awesome.
-
How could I forget Meshuggah?
Chaosphear is on of the most insane albums I have ever heard.
I understnad that Catch 33 is pretty crazy as well. I just love those silly sweedish guys.
-

Good shit. La Quiete aren't terribly angry though, they're the most posi screamo band of all time. Hell, they even have their own cute La Quiete playset.
-
To add a few songs:
Mc Lusky - Lightsaber Cocksucking Blues
Fantomas - Rosemary's Baby
Danko Jones - Fucked Up
Malajube - Casse Cou
We Are Wolves - Vosotros, Monstruos
Metric - Patriarch On A Vespa
Death From Above 1979 - Pull Out
Converge - Color Me Blood Red
Mastodon - I Am Ahab
Quo Vadis - Silence Calls the Storm
And add some Public Enemy and Loco Locass for variety's sake.
-
I'd have to suggest Shellac and Big Black.
Steve Albini is without a doubt the angriest man in music.
-
I don't know how popular this answer will be, but I love a good Mindless Self Indulgence song to thrash to.
-
glassjaw, especially most songs off "everything you ever wanted to know about silence", tunes for bears to dance to (<- think van johnson, only angrier), the locust, an albatross, breads & circuits, q and not u, isis, the avenging disco godfathers of soul, some girls, wow owls!
that's all i can think of off the top of my head. basically any screamo/hardcore and grind, really really spazzy grind, will do the trick. hope that helps ^^
