Day 27: Hard Attack

According to Sirius: The heaviest metal, on or off the planet, from the ones who created it all the way to the ones that are perfecting it today

My Experience: Finally! I knew there was a channel like this out there. Sure, at first I thought Buzzsaw was the one...but that was just "classic hard rock." Then came Octane. Surely that would be the heavy metal station, but no...that was "pure hard rock." There was a brief foray into hair bands and alternative music...but then Hard Attack hit me and I knew I'd found the station that would make my ears bleed.

Now, I typically don't like scream/death/acid metal...but I've got a couple good friends back home in Michigan who live and breathe this stuff, so it did put me in kind of a nostalgic mood. Miss you guys!

In Synch: This was a little hard to wake up and drive to work to, but after working later than usual (8pm), I was a little punch-drunk, and actually cranked it up to relieve some stress. Good times, and a good match for my mood.

Sample Playlist:
  • Death Angel, Seemingly Endless Times
  • Slipknot, The Nameless
  • Ozzy Osbourne, Mr. Crowley (Live)
  • Immortal, Blashyrkh (Mighty Raven Dark)
  • Exhumed, Open the Abscess
  • Napalm Death, Forced to Fear
Verdict: While it reminded of good friends who live far away, it's a bit too screamy for me to bookmark as a favorite. You gotta love their names, though.

just curious: did you feel like drinking j.d. straight out the bottle and starting a fight with anyone by saying "what the fuck are you looking at?"

Sadly, no. I should start forming a "to do" list to go with each station, it seems.
