The Few That Remain – Set Your Goals
Set Your Goals is a great band that knows how to rock and stay positive at the same time, and The Few That Remain is a perfect example. I want to rock out and go crazy, but sometimes not in an angry or moshy way. A nice diversion from impending doom, plus it’s got Hayley Williams from Paramore making a little cameo, and it’d be nice to hear that heavenly voice one more time as well. Not to mention, I’d assume the title would fit my situation at the time, if I like it or not.
People = Shit – Slipknot
For the angry teenager in all of us, I’m not afraid to admit I still like Slipknot. People = Shit is that perfect song that just says “f@ck you” and gets you right in the mood to throw some bows and not give a shit about humanity. Fitting, since humanity now doesn’t give a shit about you, and is currently trying to have you for dinner. Bring it on.
Ready To Die – Andrew W. K.
Welp, at this point in the playlist I’d assume some sort of fatigue is setting in, and ammo may be running a little scarce. The thing you don’t want to think about is starting to look closer and closer, but who cares, because the original party rocker Andrew W.K. is playing! Now you can embrace the unknown and still keep your adrenaline pumping, and act his words out on the waves of zombies that only seem to be growing.
Waidmanns Heil – Rammstein
A song about hunting for women? Well, since it’s by Rammstein and I didn’t know that before actually looking the translation up, I don’t really care. All I do care about is another driving riff that makes me love Rammstein all the more. Screw it, I’ll pretend the song is just about hunting, while keeping a zombie right in my crosshairs.
Bombshell – Powerman 5000
C’mon, who doesn’t love a little Powerman 5000, especially off the album Anyone For Doomsday?! In the apocalypse, you better be ready to “drop the bombshell” numerous times when thinking about your own survival, and this song drives home that metaphor pretty hard. Plus the whole “Get up! Get up! Get up!” chant is pretty meaningful, and might provide a little pick me up if you’re starting to tire out, because zombies never stop.
No Brakes – The Offspring
Quick and meaningful, the song is about keeping the pedal to the floor. “Lay awake, I don’t give a shit, if I even ever wake up in the morning.” Yup, it’s still game on and the adrenaline needs to keep flowing. Are you seeing the pattern here as well? Yeah, I may like rock n’ roll a little bit.
SubZero vs. Smoke – Mortal Kombat
Because who didn’t hear this tuneage and immediately want to have it playing during a fight scene they were in? Plain and simple. If you could have an out-of-body experience and watch yourself slay zombies to any song, how could it not be this?
Run This Town – Miss May I
Another fantastic cover and a pop/hip hop song this time, Miss May I have done a great version of the Jay-Z/Rihanna/Kanye West collaboration Run This Town, and it’s time for you and your group to run this freakin’ town, zombies or not. Who’s going to run this town tonight? Hopefully you, and not the brain munchers still advancing.
