ANGRY WORKOUT MUSIC / Pastor Bob's Coffee Break

Dear Pastor Bob: I've been watching your videos for 8 years or so, keep it up!

I work out 5 - 7 days a week.

The gym is a big piece of my life.

I seem to get my best workouts in when I listen to angry music; Slaughter To Prevail, Suicide Silence, Whitechapel, etc.

I avoid any song that is anti God but the hard hitting, violent, angry songs just help with the workout so much.

Maybe I'm releasing anger this way?

From a biblical standpoint, is this wrong?

I don't feel convicted for it.

There's some heavy Christian bands on my playlist also like Impending Doom.

But nothing hits quite like the other music.

Figured I'd ask you since you're a music guy.

I've tried talking to some other people and I basically get "if it's not Christian music then it's a sin!" Meanwhile they watch movies that depict the same violent imagery.
