Metal hockey fight songs

I love metal; I love hockey. The two should go together, right? Well, maybe. Darkest Hour recently threw together a fight song for the Washington Capitals that makes Ministry’s for the Blackhawks sound like “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Even for a fight song, it’s moronic. Rehashed At the Gates riffs with unbearably repetitive chanting? Let’s hope it’s a one-timer. Pantera didn’t do much better with “Punk-Off,” their Dallas Stars fight song. But that rhythm section! The “Cowboys from Hell” quote is cute, too. In punk, The Boils made an EP devoted to the Flyers, and there’s the Bruins-fonted Slapshot (though to my knowledge, they never made a Bruins-centric song). Someone get a metal fight song for the Atlanta Thrashers, stat!

In minor league hockey, Unearth recently wrote a fight song for the San Antonio Rampage. You can hear it here. Andrew W.K. also did a ditty for the Arizona Sundogs; see here.
