Metal Workout: combine sport and distortion

Music news

On March 3, the public session of Metal Workout will take place at the Bataclan, which bridges the gap between sport and saturated music.

Metal concert pits are known for containing a lot of physical activity, with the now known circle pits or walls of death. However, artists on the scene have decided to go further in the mix between metal and sport. For example, Yann Heurtaux, guitarist of Mass Hysteria, and Matt Heafy, guitarist and singer of Trivium, have an application called Metal Workout. Available since February 5, it offers different sports programs adapted to everyone’s levels.

Matt Heafy notes the common points of the two disciplines: “Metal is a passion and for many a lifestyle, just like sport can be. And both have this tremendous capacity as a unifying agent.” Yann Heurtaux adds: “Music helps you push your own limits and destroy them.”

If individual sessions have their charm, a joint event around this application will take place soon in Paris. Indeed, meet on Sunday March 3 at the Bataclan for two consecutive sessions: Metal Yoga at 10 a.m. and Cross Training from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The ticketing is open. Enough to bring back memories to the early morning Hellfest participants.

See you on March 3 to discover a new way to combine metal and well-being.
