Skull Fist Albums Ranked
Skull Fist is a Canadian heavy metal band formed in Toronto. Skull Fist was founded in 2006 by guitarist/singer Zach Slaughter in Toronto. The band released a two-song demo in 2006 titled No False Metal which included the tracks “Ride The Beast” and “No False Metal”. The band has seen many lineup changes with many different musicians stepping in for a few weeks at a time from 2006 to 2010 leaving Slaughter the sole consistent member and many musicians coming and going on a regular basis. Slaughter released the Heavier than Metal EP with “Alison Thunderland” on drums and “Sir Shred” on second guitar in 2010 to a very positive response in the metal community and later signed to Noise Art Records shortly after. For the EP release, the band completed two tours across Canada, the Metal Assault festival in Europe along with a tour in January 2011 through Europe. Afterwards they played Up the Hammers Festival in Greece and toured with Bullet and Enforcer in April 2011. Alison and Shred left the band due to personal conflicts. Casey Slade joined the band shortly after the EP was recorded, who had actually replaced Jonny Nesta who was filling in on bass until Slaughter settled on a permanent member. Nesta then joined Skull Fist on guitar which saw the release of the first Skull Fist album Head of the Pack. It was released August 26, 2011. After the release of the album Jake Purchase was added to the band and another Canada tour was done along with the power of metal tour with Sabaton and Grave Digger. The album has received great reviews across the globe which led them to another European tour with Grand Magus, Bullet, Steel Wing and Vanderbuyst. The summer of 2012 saw the band sharing the stage with Megadeth, W.A.S.P., and Uriah Heep for The Rock the Nation touring festival event “Metal Fest 2012”. Jake Purchase left and was replaced with Chris Steve. This was followed by a tour in Japan with Solitude and featured a gig with Japanese black/thrash act Sabbat, another Canadian tour and a tour through Brazil. The release of the second album for 2013 was postponed by a lack of funding and then postponed yet again after Slaughter broke his neck and other bones in a skateboarding accident.

3. Way of the Road
“Love the way these guys play. Guitar work is awesome! Production is not top notch but a label with more resources could really tighten up their sound. Excellent fast paced shredded songs, with a few ballady hard rockin songs that plays through great!
2. Head öf the Pack
“Head of the Pack is one such album. The most striking thing about this album would have to be the vocals, which are on that Budgie level of guy sounding like a woman. They’re actually pretty impressive and they lend themselves well to the music and would fit nicely on most power metal albums. The music is ferocious, particularly in the use of constant, impressive and well placed shredding”
1. Chasing the Dream
“Skull fist sounds like an undiscovered 80’s gem, but amazingly they are 3 young people recording in 2014!! They took the best of old thrash influences with just a touch of the more Glam side (i.e very high pitch vocal). Play this in the car LOUD after a bad day at work & see if you can keep a smile off your face—careful you may be caught headbanging or speeding! It’ll make you think of great times seeing your favorite metal bands back in the day. Highly recommended!”
