Nuclear Assault

Nuclear Assault. Funny, about half of this band made up S.O.D., while the other half of S.O.D. was about half the guys from Anthrax. The only reason that S.O.D. isn't really a thing anymore, is because it got bigger than those two bands, or at least, it got bigger then the members wanted it to be. Like, S.O.D. was more like a side project, but it was side project that got a lot more attention than expected, and apparently wanted. Kinda like how the writer for The Jungle wrote, The Jungle, because he wanted to inform people about how bad worker's rights were during the time of the Gilded  Age for America, when instead people got more interested in the fact that the food they were eating made by these workers was in just as bad of condition. The writer said, "I aimed for people's hearts, but hit their stomachs." I love this quote. It makes me smile.
HISTORY.
So before ADD conquers my life any further, let's discuss my opinion on this band. I love this band. If I had to describe this band in terms of how they sound... it's kind of like if you mixed together Megadeth and Anthrax. You got real creative yet heavy riffs and song structures, but you also got the New York styled metal. It's great. It's like putting pepperoni on pizza. Both things are great, so they must go good together. But hey, no sh*t. It's kinda obvious maybe. To some people. Smart people. "Smart" people.
Nuclear Assault has a good number of albums, but the ones that stick out to me are (I believe) the first 3. Game Over, Survive, and Handle With Care. The first album I heard was Survive, and I listened to it because I want on a marathon of listening a buttload of different metal bands that I could find on the interwebs. I saw "Survive, Nuclear Assault, full album" and I was like, "Yeah, sure."
The first song was Rise From The Ashes, and my face melted. I've never been so happy to have said "Yeah, sure." to myself.

I'd put a link to that song from youtube, but my computer is currently being the worst thing ever, and I refuse to wait 20 minutes for it to load Youtube, maybe. I'd rather have a computer that "works", than a computer that's been smashed and thrown out the window. Parents get mad at that stuff.
