Hot Zone is nothing if not a blend of very specific niche influences.
Kinda like if the Jerky Boys learned how to play instruments, got drunk, and wrote ripoffs of Municipal Waste, E-Town Concrete, Suicidal Tendencies, Body Count, Nuclear Assault, & Bulldoze while they watched season 4 of The Sopranos. Then they went to a tailgate and played deck hockey but with opposite handed sticks. It’s like that.
