The Artist Life might not be heavy enough for you but they are a pretty solid band and there is a free digital EP available for download from the link there. Check them out.

Bad Religion. Original SoCal hardcore punk. EDIT: Especially anything off of "80-85". It's their early raw phase, when they were just banging on their instruments and mad as heck. "Eat Your Dog" or "Pity" are good examples if you want to listen to a couple tracks.
I don't know if you can call it "testosterone charged" but Man... Or Astroman is hard-edged indie/punk/surf rock. Heavy on guitars, very little in the way of lyrics, except for some sweet samples of old sci-fi shows/films at the beginning or end. Listen to their "Transmissions from Venus".

I like some punk rock. But right now I'm looking for brain smashing, fist pumping, head banging metal.

Still, try Bad Religion from the album above (80-85). You can definitely head-bang to it. It's like 5 minute metal songs condensed into 60-120 second sonic fury. Playing it loud will definitely increase adrenaline.
Might not work this time, but there may be a time when it fits.

DIR EN GREY DOOD! Check out some late Dir en grey. They are not pure metal but something entirely different. They ROCK

Deftones is one of my favorite bands ever. Not all of their stuff is fast, but they are really incredible.

Steve, I'm going to give you a name that you've probably heard before.
Yoko Kanno
Forget whether you like anime or not, just listen to the music from Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell series, Wolf's Rain, or Escaflowne.

That's ok. The soundtracks are cheaper anyway. I could send you some samples What kind of music do you like? A wide variety I'm guessing from your hunger.
EDIT: Ah, your first post specifies this.
Might I recommend the following tracks from various OST's.
Titles by Series:
Cowboy Bebop Pushing the Sky Live in Baghdad<<maybe too heavy The Real Man
Ghost in the Shell: SAC Run Rabbit Junk Inner Universe Rise Dear John
But I'll quit riding that for second, 'cause I forgot that Big Black (no, not metal) fits your description. I'd check out the songs "Cables" from the album The Hammer Party and the entirety of Rich Man's Eight Track Tape (if you're looking for a sample, give the first four songs a chance). Very much recommend it if you're really looking for really loud, really fast, really heavy, testosterone charged, primal fury rock music.

Synesthesia beat me to Dir en Grey, as usual. Also in the J-rock genre you could try: the GazettE Abingdon Boys School Maximum the Hormone

I recommend: Slipknot, Skindred, Lamb of God Skindred (Infused reggae and metal) LAMB OF GOD (awesome) I think LOG will definitely do the trick for you. I agree with Fear Factory (sick drummer, same with Slipknot{but drummers}) Lacuna Coil, is a little more mellow but enjoyable. Korn has always been good for me, but that's not as heavy as you're looking for. Let me know what you think!

Disturbed is good, solid head-banging metal. Iron Maiden never fails to pump me up, but they're not exactly heavy in the same genre as Lamb of God or Slipknot. I still think of Maiden as the penultimate band in heaviness.

Strung Out is a combination of Punk Rock and Metal. It's loud, really fast, pretty heavy, testosterone charged, etc. "Bring Out Your Dead" from Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues is good, but the rest of that album may be a bit mellow for your tastes. You might like the albums American Paradox and The Elements of Sonic Defiance.

Disturbed, Fear Factory, Korn, and Sepultura are already in my rotation.
I only like a couple of Slipknot songs. I just can't get into them very much for some reason. I like their style alright. And it's loud, fast, and heavy. I like the vocalist. But I don't find myself thinking, "Let's listen to some Slipknot."

Try "Bawatabaw" by "Kid Rock" and "Rusty Nail" by "XJapan."
I'm not the biggest fan of metal but I like both those songs alot. Rap and rock just seem to go together so well.
Deftones are VERY interesting, but I would not call them testosterone charge head banging, but "Digital Bath" "Change (In The House of Flies)" and "Feiticeira" are all solid tracks. Their cover of "The Chauffer" by Duran Duran shouldn't be missed either.

quote:Ooo. X Japan. Kaoru likes them. He loves them in fact.
They are really talented song writers, but honesetly you could listen to two of their songs and have no idea they were the same band. They have some extremely mellow piano/string combination pieces and then hard rockin guitar riffs.
I love both styles but I could see how a metal head could turn them on and say, "EH?!"

Maybe I used to Hate Cell Phones Now I hate Car Accidents or something like that might help
I've seen them live. Twice. And I've seen The Chariot (the original singer's new band) live. Once.

I'm actually liking some of the stuff I'm listening to by them. Especially on An American Paradox. I might have to buy this album.

I know I'm late to the thread, but you might want to check out Corrosion of Conformity, if you haven't already. (<--myspace page) I haven't listened to them in a long time, and they might have changed their sound, but I think they fit your prerequisites.

In that mood again, any more suggestions? None of the stuff named above seems to do the trick.

Hmmmm... I'll second Between the Buried and Me. Perhaps you'd like some of The Misfits live stuff.

Good one dude, but that's black metal "I need something that's the equivalent of smashing your brain out with a brick for some reason. I'm not a huge fan of death or black metal though."
Did you ever try the Big Black suggestions, Steve?
Edit for quotey weirdness Edit again to add
Try Boris, I know fer sure Akuma no Uta as it's the only one I own (funny this thread came up again because I was listening to it again yesterday)

Coal Chamber A Wilhelm Scream Muse Dream Theater Shadows Fall I know you like Rammstein, have you checked out their new material? It kicks some serious fanny. Priestess I could go on forever, if you want.

They're good. But they aren't quite what I'm looking for right now. They are good though. And they put on a really good live show.
Flaming Toad- I haven't listened to any of Rammstein's newer stuff. You also listed MUSE as a suggestion. I've been listening to them some lately. His falsetto kills. But not what I had in mind.

Second on the Wilhelm suggestion!
And SteveRogers, there are way too many kinds of music that can provide that whole primal fury need that you have. Would you have somebody singing or screaming? Punishing riffs or technical riffs? Singing about real life or dragons?
I recommend In Flames. Colony is a good album, as is the Jester Race.

I like singing. And I like some screaming. But it has to be at least mildly intelligible screaming. Some combination of technical and punishing riffs. And no dragons.

did you post about Foxy Shazam before? If you did and liked them, I recommend the Blood Brothers. Something in the neighborhood of about fifty bazillion times better, yet similar.
