usually for fast paced music i listen to two steps from hell

Don't know if OP indulges in cinematic orchestral music, but to expand on this comment, I'd also suggest Immediate Music, Veigar Margeirsson (usually short but superb tracks), X-Ray Dog, Steve Jablonsky (mostly produces for action films), and maybe E.S. Posthumous, Bear McCreary, and Future World Music. Jason Graves does vidja gaem music, Deadspace and its sequel spring to mind.

Hella is mathcore and amazing.
http://youtu.be/_soVT0FDjFQ

Zach Hill is the drummer for Hella, and makes some incredible stuff on his own:

Gogol Bordello is upbeat and awesome, and Eugene Hutz's awesome 'stache can cheer anyone up I think, haha

anything in the mix for this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixx9UuHTZz4

I dunno what fast/slow means to you. Super-fast songs with lyrics always end up sounding like rap or screaming to me, hahahaha.
I don't have very enjoyable music and I guess that for nonGermans they might sound reeeally bad. But whelp. I personally have an automatic good mood whenever I hear this songs rhythm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZA.....woptions=false (especially of the chorus)

Also, I see you're given tons of metal. Why no Sabaton so far? /o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbw1pGUhG7Q
(I love most of the rhythms here, too. And the stories/history-events they are referring to are interesting)

My favorite band is Steam Powered Giraffe.They have really upbeat, uplifting music that has a catchy, showtune quality.

I second this. <3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usv.....EY4HqzHQ7XQIdF

Progressive, so it starts a bit slow and picks up and gets fast :D

Grendel http://youtu.be/b-V-xqf3LGs

Here's some stuff I've been listening to recently ^_^

Bastille - Pompeii https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F90Cw4l-8NY

The World Ends With You - Three Minutes Clapping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LK01R-sCNg

Final Fantasy - Swing de Chocobo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTpaSMjXgeQ

Imagine Dragons - On Top Of The World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8PrTzLaLHc

Aloe Blacc - The Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm660vIn8Tg

I'm a metal head and though this song has a mix between clean vocals and screamo, it's quick and has a sexy intro

Periphery - Icarus Lives!: http://youtu.be/MfOnq-zXXBw

If you're not into screamo, this one is still heavy and a lot quicker, but has difficult to follow beats.

Animals as Leaders - Tempting Time: http://youtu.be/ohXFfI70mLw

Folk metal seems good for upbeat, energetic stuff. The amount varies by band and album of course, but there's a good amount of it. Korpiklaani in particular has a lot of upbeat stuff.
Korpiklaani: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrGsCmpZh3Q , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7kJRGPgvRQ
Arkona: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt6_65LDZ60 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDrKpYn-8u8
Finntroll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUPDla44jfQ , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEzuxkkGyWQ
Also Alestorm, who I see have already been mentioned.

Folk metal ftw. I didn't know about Arkona, thanks for bringing it to my attention. :>

Eh... I've been listening to The Cog Is Dead lately. They produce steampunk-themed music in a wide, sundry mélange of styles. Even if steampunk isn't your thing, they are veritable lyrical wizards, and much of their tracks are fast-paced and very upbeat. Three I'd suggest are "Depths Below", "The Death of the Cog", and "The Copper War"; I might also suggest "The Ballad of Stuart the Sailor" (funny, entertaining) and "Burn It Down" (fun song about disgruntled factory workers that ends with a twist). If you like rock and aren't already listening to Five Finger Death Punch, most of their work not qualifiedly emo-tier is good. Some others that spring to mind are Con Bro Chili-- we'll say try "Dance Thief"-- and just about everything from Pendulum, if techno-y are your thing.

I'd expand more if circumstance granted, I'm getting up pretty late here and typing this up quickly.

Oafish me, I forgot to post at least a few links:

The Depths Below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSwGHXsfI7E

The Copper War
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAjJXil3UOE

The Death of the Cog
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq7XG4XOJsc

Burn it Down
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ckCo80imFo

These guys make albums of pretty composite stylistic approaches, so there's plenty there with which to bide the time. I'll try to think of some more upbeat music a little later.

Turmion Kätilöt is my re-charger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX7lC-nhvyA
It's...industrial metal? Mostly in finnish, some english songs too.

Oh yeah, and if you want something so upbeat and energetic you want to punch cute animu-girls' faces in, here's a nice little earworm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EUYBWhVkKg

Big Freeze (Muse): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLVr_UoYglI

From Xenoblade:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4vC.....A&index=76
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBZA.....A&index=92

I gotta say that the most recent soundtrack that gets me moving around is the game music from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. Its been my go to coffee music to wake up in the morning, especially two in particular: "Rules of Nature" and "The Stains of Time". The entire soundtrack is pretty awesome so I recommend checking it out!

Can you care about lyrics? Because lyrics largely matter in these. The stories which I only mostly understand after listening to them for months are half of what make me enjoy these.
The only music I can recommend now is Ayreon music.
Ayreon - The Human Equation, Part 1 and 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=codSKV_0NrQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7FfaJr4sHQ
Ayreon - 01011001, Part 1 and 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFfKWaM1Bp8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdbpyQGWFd4
I'm not sure about recommending you listen to both of these albums together, it may be more enjoyable to stick to one for at least a month before moving onto another. Either first is fine, but 01011001 is my greater preference.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TErs0h1RnY4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNuPECMoCe4

At the Drive-In -- Relationship of Command annnnd Rise Against -- The Sufferer and the Witness.

When I think fast paced and energetic, I think of postpunk hardcore stuff. If albums aren't your thing, Enfilade and Savior are usually everyone's top two favorite tracks by At the Drive-In and Rise Against, respectively.

www.youtube.com/user/MonstercatMediia they have cool music

Whoops www.youtube.com/user/MonstercatMedia

Have some Röyksopp: Their entire album "Junior" is pretty darned good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBggfmznx28

Motorpsycho tend to go to all kinds of places. But some songs are defiantly upbeat.
"Go to California": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM93iJvM0U8
"Serpentine": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyzx7lnat5o
"Hey Jane": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEBCFqqxyrI

This one's in Norwegian, but it's one of the lasting hits in Norway, and hella upbeat. "Dum og Deilig" by Knutsen & Ludvigsen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF7FXZD0FW8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMM0NGPwqmM Not entirely sure the song name

I hope you enjoy the music as much as I do.

Freedom Call is excellent feel good power metal with a feel like a cross between Lord Of The Rings and Thor. Aside from driving metal riffs and high bpm drums they also like using church bells, organs, and full choir as backing vocals.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9Q4MtgPPKE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmP5dWT_9Eo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_tH43boC1Y

If you like anime and video game music, it might also strike a vibe with you. Every one of their songs (except for a few of their more recent ones) are pure unbridled awesome. Sure, the lyrics get corny sometimes but Freedom Call is to date the only band that's ever overwhelmed me enough with positive euphoria to make me cry.

I would venture that it is impossible to not feel a little better after listening to them, even if they don't match your tastes in heavy metal.

Most of the music from Tyrian is pretty upbeat and energetic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Ir3ULhumk

Actually, found a link that has all the songs conveniently in one video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRBs6nqsYic

If you want something a little less hammering than Power Metal, I have been getting into this new genre called "New Retro Wave", which is basically 80's synthpop revival. A bunch of artists, mostly from Europe, are trying to recreate that old 80's Miami Club sound with modern equipment, writing new songs in analog.

These are all different bands:

Tesla Boy "Spirit Of The Night" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b7cj4zWiyo

Hemendex "Faith In War" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M98sp48geY

Let Em Riot "Say What You Need To Say" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LskdlkQzyp0

http://birds-are-nice.me/music/UK-PublicDomain/

Enjoy. Oldies.

Some songs that I used to pull myself out of the dark
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUzpXdTREKo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf-r5jfDtwk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM-MGgOBUBQ
some are from breakups and some are from movies, I worked in a theater and the highlight of the monotony of work was the songs in the credits as I swept..even if the movie it was in is shitty.

If I remember others I'll post them

If you haven't heard this yet, crank up your volume.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h_Cftesm7c

I'm not a fan of the band, but for some reason, this song... gives me the energy to run a marathon while boxing somebody.

That just happens to be one of the only Fall Out Boy songs I like, but no, I've never heard it sped up before! That is pretty awesome =D

Ratchet and Clank Soundtracks :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o5.....644E72887AB7E3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv4.....2A31EDF5D4B570
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HL.....EC0886514E2E8A

Good ambiance music with some epic very rythmics influence, and provides a good non decentralizing sound atmosphere when you work

Few of my songs currently on my playlist.

Zak Waters - Runnin' Around

Friendly Fires - Hurting <- My current Fav

Hoodie Allen - No Interruption

Pentatonix - Royals

Skrux ft. Complexion - Believe Me

Not fast, but its definitely one awesome song. It has this balance between energy and relaxation. To me it somehow makes me see the world in a more beautiful manner. Trippy I know but, it means it's one hell of a song: Keith Medley's "Ancestors" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo5mvTfYSQY

And of course, this is a classic piece for those who likes that balance: Bach's Cello Suite No.1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGQLXRTl3Z0

If you enjoy rock, you'll find this to be very familiar, but possibly may not even know what it was: Booker T & the MGs' Green Onions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bpS-cOBK6Q

You want power though? Metallica's Jump in the Fire can help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG_R5n9yIPg

And if you don't like the vocals, this song will start of slow. But trust me, it is worth it. Metallica's Orion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4mb_BnKP1A

good god...i have not heard of ANY of these suggested bands..
anyways..i like old school..an nuthin helps me get drawing like Queen.
they don't really have much in the way of super fast songs..but the music is upbeat and makes me feel good.

if i were to suggest some anime music it'd be most definitely the more happy themes from Hunter x Hunter!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTQIogLBFBs

well i looks like the "metal gear rising" boss battle soundtracks have already been listed (probably more than once) so there goes my suggestions

actually there is one track from the DLC missions I didn't see listed... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1drcvtzyXBY

I just found out about BABYMETAL. O___O

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIKqgE4BwAY

Good God. Leave it to the Japanese to synthesize J-Pop with metal and produce something creepily charming.

From what I've found out, it's K-pop.

Dunno, their Wikipedia page says J-Pop, m80. Personally, I'm honestly unable to accurately discern between the two.

I don't really care, either way. haha

Pink, Lily Allen, Metallica.

I just found something new the other day and I think you would particularly enjoy it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uee_mcxvrw&;

Looks like you already got a lot of great suggestions here, but I thought I might add that my two favorite albums right now are:

CHVRCHES - The Bones of What You Believe (particularly "The Mother We Share" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOu0kPPH4m0)

and

M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB9CoLt72LI (particularly tracks 2, 8, 9, 17, and 18)

Geinoh Yamashirogumi, Dead Can Dance, Overseer, Jean-Jacques Hertz.

Try those for a start and see what you think.

A bit random, but it was the first thing to pop in my head when you said "fast paced" so I'm going with it.

"Lunatic Princess" remix (slow start, it picks up around 0:15)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqU1lhi1UiA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSPbklhnihs

always cheers me up and makes me feel optimistic

I do with dubstep to get fired up in the mornings. Search YouTube for "dubstep motivational mix." There's a few.

mantra

Rock and Awe - TIm Wynn
Chinese Burn (lunatic calm mix) - Curve

Dragonforce, they make 7 min songs of pure metal like through the fire and flames.

Somewhat spontaneous, totally forgot about how Fair To Midland helped me out of the doldrums last summer, if Prog Metal's your thing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFgQXoxKj0

My personal faves from this album are "Amarillo Sleeps On My Pillow", "Rikki Tikki Tavi", "Bright Bulbs And Sharp Tools", and "Uh-Oh". Other great songs are "Dance of the Manatee" and "Musical Chairs".
