The first thing that caught my
attention with this release was the stunning coverart. Even though
it's said that you shouldn't judge the book by the cover, the artwork
alone was pretty much enough for me to purchase this album, without
hearing a single tone of the bands music. So, the big question is
then of course, what does the music sound like?
Lord Fist is a heavy metal band from
Finland, and this is their first full length album. I'd almost say
that they're on the borderline to speed metal, since most of the
songs are quite up tempo. Modern classics released by recent bands
such as Enforcer and Borrowed Time comes to mind. Lord Fist might not
impress as much as the ones mentioned above, but songs like Rainbow
Eyes, Green Eyleen and Who Wants To Live Forever definitely indicates
that they've got some serious potential. It 's definitely going to be
interesting to see if they will be able grow musically to be able to
challenge the absolute elite with their next album. Hopefully they'll
use the same artist to make the cover as well. 7,5/10
