Skull Fist

[Diabolik]

This Canadian traditional metal act is one of the bands I am most excited about seeing. I came across thier EP last year and loved it. The first album "Head of the Pack" is full of powerful catchy songs that any fan of classic metal will love. From seeing videos of thier live show this is the band that will have people talking.

I like this band but i can't get past the vocals. sounds like a little boy who hasn't hit puberty.

 

[Diabolik]

that is the charm for me. They remind me of Enforcer.

Listened to the album on the way home from work...really good. Looking forward to picking up a legit copy at the fest and also seeing them live. I hope they play "Commit to Rock". That is a cool tune.

hit em up on facebook and tell them what you want to hear.

Not bad...
I agree with the above.
Not sure about the vocals.
I seriously don't know if I love them or hate them!! ha!

I suppose though that's the charm.
It stands out from the norm.

Skullfist Is awsome!!!

I'm with Jason on this. I'm really trying to figure out whether I like them or not. I'll have to wait 'till the fest to see.

It's just good, fun metal. It doesn't pay to overthink it. Horns up, volume up (and blood alcohol content up).

I agree. No need to over think.

It's not overthinking. I know it's supposed to be fun metal and I like most of it, it's just the vocals that at times rub me the wrong way.

I dig the vocals cause they sound like a real person with emotions.

Skull Fist rocks. I havent heard Head of the Pack because there hasn't been a reasonable price for it so far and I havent downloaded it but i have the Heavier Than Metal EP (have a few copies actually) and i love the ep. I actually really dig the vocals.

Yeah sure the vocals sound awkward at times but it's part of the charm. Maybe. Yeah it's fun music. Stop over thinking it.

I've seen these guys live and they are great players and awesome performers, but I'll never listen to or buy one of their albums. Vocals are a little weak, and they have way too many self-aware "YAY! METAL!" songs for my tastes. One here and there is fun, but they seem to rely on that stuff. Also, These guys all had beautiful feathered hair, gorgeous teeth, and wore super-fresh, matching acid-washed denim vests/jeans onstage. Serious boyband vibes. I'm all for taking care of yourself, but I feel like traditional heavy metal (especially bands that write so many songs about heavy metal) should be at least a little bit rangy and rough.

Again, great performers, non-stop entertainment, fun cover selections, but way too bright and shiny for me

all these retro bands are doing the same thing!

I just wanna know where (aside from Bob Byrne's closet) are these bands finding the all white leather gym shoes!!!
