ОбернитесьValeriy Meladze feat. Grogoriy Leps
A classic song, “Обернитесь,” by Russian singer-songwriters Valery Meladze, known for his husky voice, and Grigory Leps, a nationally beloved artist in Russia.
While the track has a rock flavor, it’s less about cranking up the voltage and more about lifting your spirits with its mature, rugged cool.
In particular, Grigory Leps’s shout in the second A verse really stands out for its gritty depth.
Be sure to give it a listen.

A song by Adam Lambert, an American singer who also shines as a stage actor.
Its hum-along melody riding on handclaps amps you up right from the start.

Amongst the Low & EmptySigns of the Swarm
A heavy track that’s perfect for easing pre-game nerves and firing up your adrenaline and fighting spirit! Taken from American deathcore favorites Signs of the Swarm’s latest album, Amongst the Low & Empty, this song pairs their signature, brutality-packed deathcore sound with lyrics that evoke a battle for survival.
It channels a resolve to overcome struggle and hardship, empowering listeners with courage and strength.
Released in July 2023 on the esteemed Century Media Records, the album has earned high praise, especially among extreme metal fans.
Highly recommended for athletes and fighters looking to psych themselves up before a match.
Chop Suey!System Of A Down
System of a Down is an alternative metal band known for its top-tier musicianship.
Released as the lead single from their second album, Chop Suey! gained popularity for its unconventional rhythms and refined musicality.
While they excel not only in alternative metal but also in progressive metal, this track in particular strongly reflects progressive elements.
The intense metal sound in the verses ramps up the voltage, and the melodic chorus snaps your focus into place.
Listening to this song before a match might just deliver those effects!
Straight Out The Gate feat. Serj TankianTech N9ne
Rapper Tech N9ne, who is popular as a master of fast rap.
His skill rivals even Eminem’s, and while the focus often goes to his speed, he’s also highly regarded for his flow.
Among his songs, the one I’d like you to listen to before a match is Straight Out The Gate feat.
Serj Tankian.
The adrenaline-pumping track and rap, along with lyrics about refusing to coddle oneself and steadfastly walking one’s own path, will elevate the pre-game atmosphere.
In conclusion
This time, since it’s “Western songs to listen to before a game,” I picked tracks that ramp up your voltage and ones you can really immerse yourself in.
One strength of foreign-language music is that even if you don’t understand the lyrics, you can project your own favorite images just from the vibe of the song.
So I think it can actually be nice to intentionally leave the song’s meaning unknown!
