Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.

The Blood Brothers put on quite a show: shirtless, ear-bleedingly loud, and delightfully homoerotic (maybe that's just me). It's nice when, under the shreiking, you can pull out a little hummable tune, like on this track from their last record.

And, as a special bonus because it came up in my iTunes search, the wakeup track from The Dictators' 1978 album, "Bloodbrothers."

And, to keep the thrills coming, an epic blood bonus bonus from Manowar, the medieval, flagon-raising band that included the Dictators' Ross the Boss (he left Manowar after the release of this album, 1988's "Kings of Metal").
