Hardcore Emotions: Anger

Hardcore Techno tracks deal with a variety of emotions; many of these are considered to be "dark" or "disturbing" by western culture.
Today we look at tracks that portray feelings of anger, aggression, fury, and frustration.

When combined with the sounds of Hardcore, these emotions can lead to a very beneficial experience of catharsis:

1. Nasenbluten - C**T Face

"I'm f**cking angry!". The prime example of an angry Gabber track. Violent shouting, profanities - add a bassdrum and some percussion, and that's basically all its components.


2. Napalm 02 - Scream

Scream it out, if you are full of rage! It's debatable whether this is a scream out of rage or out of agony. Still, this early Industrial Hardcore track is aggro as hell.


3. Agro - Bullen Raus

Let's keep the aggro theme flowing. "bullen raus!" is a german expression, equivalent to A.C.A.B., so we have some righteous rage against the system here.


4. D.O.A. - Unleash The Brutality

yes, yes, unleash it, let it flow, pour it all out.
new york's hardest.


5. Somatic Responses - Fury's Theme

somatic responses are known for their beautiful, intricate idm/breaks compositions of later years. but this early outing is just a dirty kick to the teeth.


6. Rules Of Anger - Emotional Violence

Nomen est omen for this dark speed/acidcore track.


7. Deadly Buda - Housewrecker

"vengeance... revenge..." we hear you. we hear you well.


8. Rage Reset - Feel This

and yes, we are definitely feeling it.
competently-produced Australian Amiga Hardcore classic.


9. ATR - Fuck All

ATR were always full of aggro. But this track shows them at their most enraged.


10. Temper Tantrum - Destroy The World

so yeah we already have a tantrum here, and these emotions are amended by the intent of world destruction. it does not get more belligerent.

11. The Berzerker - Reality

Let's go berzerk! To this death metal / speedcore anthem by Australia's Luke Kenny and his band
