I have had a similar experience with the band Ministry. High energy, drowns out any background chatter, gets me into a flow state, somehow. I think it is partially because they are not a band I really listen to for pleasure so I don’t know any of the songs particularly well, and there is a high amount of distortion in the vocals so I don’t even feel the need to try and understand. Seems counterintuitive but it works for me.

If you like Ministry, I'm guessing you probably also like Gravity Kills, Prong, KMFDM, and Pitchshifter (amongst others). Kind of similar. Used to listen to them a bunch back in the day. Should probably try giving them another go.

Ministry is awesome for coding.

  It’s pleasantly surprising that Ministry is specifically mentioned here! I haven’t always listened to music while working, but when I did, it was almost all Ministry. Very rhythmically mechanical (even for industrial), and driving. I found it great for powering through something I didn’t want to do, or when I was tired. Worked better than caffeine.
